IV. BUILDING DEPARTMENT BROADWAY-DARTMOUTH Barbecue Restaurant CASE #32-67 Mrs. Romans read the following memorandum from Mr. Wallace, and the letter from Mr. Torgove: Memo from Mr. Wallace: "We have received a request for the use of the property at the norih - east corner of South Broadway and East Dartmouth Avenue for a barbecue restaurant and also a kitchen that would be used to cook barbecue food for this restaurant and other restaurants that he may construct for himself. We have no question concerning the restaurant itself in this area which is zoned B-2 -Fire Zone 1. The question concerns the kitchen which would be cooking food for other retail restaurants. In B-1 Zone we note under Section 22.4-10, Para. b -the following enumerated uses are listed: Items 21, Caterers, 34 -Eating Establishments, 43 -Food Processing, 54 -Hotels, Restaurants. In Section 22.4-11 -B-2 Zone -Para. b-1 allows any use permitted in a B-1, Para 4 -Drive-in type eating and drinking establishments, Para. 5 -Drive-in type restaurants, Para. c -Any use incident to the above permitted uses, etc. I have attached a letter from Mr. Thomas L. Torgrove concerning this matter. We would appreciate your submitting this to the Planning Commission. Sincerely, Beryl A. Wallace, Chief Building Inspector." Letter from Mr. Torgove to Mr. Wallace: "On behalf of my client, Mr. G. L. Boone, I am requesting a hearing before the Planning Commission of the City of Englewood. Mr. Boone has made a conditional contract to purchase the Northeast corner of South Broadway and Dartmouth Avenue, legally described as: Lots 19 through 24, inclusive, Block 8, Strayers Broadway Heights, Arapahoe County, State of Colorado. Mr. Boone proposes to construct a barbecue restaurant with drive-in and carry out service. In addition, he desires to construct a kitchen that would be used to cook barbecue for this restaurant and other restaurants that he may construct for himself. Mr. Boone will be utilizing this restaurant as the home office for what he anticipates to be a major franchise chain of barbecue restaurants. The exact description of the improvements will be presented to the Planning Board at the hearing; however, Mr. Boone informs me that the estimated cost of land and improvements should approximate $200,000. Therefore, in my opinion, this would be a fine addition to the tax base of Arapahoe County and the City of Englewood. Mr. Boone would need to know at this time if his proposed use is a legal use before proceeding to purchase the property. I would appreciate your giving this matter your immediate consideration. Yours truly, Fuller & Company Thomas L. Torgove" Mr. Torgove Fuller & Company Discussion followed. Rice moved: Touchton seconded: stated his client, Mr. Boone, is in the food business at this time, but is selling his interest in his present business. He wants to go into a franchise type operation, possibly on a national basis with barbecue restaurants. This restaurant would be a pilot project, and food would be prepared at this location for the other restaurants that might be built in the metropolitan area. The Planning Commission go on record as approving this operation, which would seem to come within the confines and intent of the B-2 Zone District and that Chief Building Inspector Wallace be advised that the Planning Commission sees no problem in this operation. The motion carried unanimously. ---- ---- ----- ------ - I I I I I I Page 1019 V. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Storm Sewer Federal Aid CASE #33-67 Mrs. Romans stated that the Public Works Department has referred to the Planning Com- mission for their consideration a request for federal aid on a storm sewer project. The project would be in the vicinity of West Kenyon Avenue and South Santa Fe Lane, and the estimated cost is $200,000. The matter was considered by the Storm Drainage Advisory Committee of Inter-County Regional at a meeting this morning, December 20, 1967, and was approved subject to the approval of the Englewood Planning Commission.

The motion carried unanimously. VI. PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT Land Purchase Federal Aid CASE #34-67 Mrs.Romans stated that the Parks and Recreation Department had requested the Commission's consideration on an application for federal aid to be used for the purchase of land west of Belleview Park.

Inca-Jason CASE #29-67B Mrs. Romans stated she had spoken to Mr. Daniels in Mr. Banta's office following the December 6th meeting of the Planning Commission about contacting the remaining property owner in the block affected by the requested alley vacation. Mr. Daniels had said at that time that he had talked to the property owner, and would submit a letter to the City from said owner stating he did not object to the vacation. However, the owner has apparently changed his mind, and is not sure that he agrees even to the partial vacation of the alley at this time. Under these circumstances, the Planning Director discussed the matter with the City Manager, resulting in the matter being referred back to the Planning Commission by the City Council. Mrs. Romans stated she had since spoken to Mr. Banta, and he requested that no further action be taken in the matter at this time; Mr. Banta stated that his client is negotiating purchase of the remainder of the block, and he is requesting time to complete the negotiations. The matter was further discussed. Parkinson moved: Love seconded: The matter of the alley vacation be received by the Planning Commission from the City Council and tabled for further information. The motion carried unanimously. It was moved and seconded to adjourn the meeting; the motion carried unanimously, and the meeting was adjourned. Gertrude G.
