Mr. Carlson stated that he felt that Mr. Criswell and Mrs. Romans have gotten into the revision of the Ordinance far enough that valuable time would be lost were the matter to be removed from M~ Criswell's hands when his resignation as City Attorney becomes effective December 31st. Mr. Carlson stated that the Commission should suggest to City Council that Mr. Criswell be authorized to proceed on the revision of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Criswell stated that he would have no objection to continue working on the Ordinance after his term of office ex- pires, a nd that he felt the Council would, in all probability, tell Mr. Berardini, the new City At to r n e y , and himself to handle the transition of the duties in the way they feel is best. In this event, he would plan to continue his work on the Ordinance. IX. R-3 REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING. Mrs. Romans stated that she was very much concerned about the problems that are arising around the apartment houses within the City. Parking for the tenants is not being provided on a 1:1 basis as is required by the Ordinance in every instance. People who live adjacent to the apartment houses are complaining because the tenants and their guests are parking in their driveways, occupying the entire street parking area, etc. A survey of surrounding jurisdictions was made on the off-street requirements for their Multi-family Zone Districts, and two of them require no off-street parking; four require one space per unit, and one re- quires 1-1/2 spaces per unit. One jurisdiction stated they would prefer 1-1/2 spaces, and another is plann ing to go to 1-3/4 spaces per unit. Another requirement which Mrs. Romans felt must be written into the Ordinance when it is revised, is a minimum size parking space. Mrs. Romans stated that she felt a minimum width of 9 ft. should be required for a parking stall. Discussion followed. Mrs. Romans then gave members a copy of a survey of the apart- ment houses in Englewood, showing the number of units, the number of parking spaces being provided, the percentage of lot coverage, the year built, etc. This schedule was reviewed. Mr. Criswell stated that he was under the impression that applicants for R-3 Zoning have stated in Public Hearings that lending institutions will not finance apartment construction unless parking is provided at least 1-1/2:1. He concluded from this survey that this is obviously not correct. Further discussion followed. Mr. Carlson noted that another change he felt should be made in the Ordinance is to permit the required off-street parking to be located across the street or alley from the subject building. We presently require it to be on the same site. Mrs. Romans agreed that this should be changed. Brief discussion followed. No action was taken at this time. X. MOBILE HOME PARKS. Mr. Carlson stated that he and Mrs. Romans had toured the Payton Park Mobile Home Park on December 1, 1969, and then had toured adjacent mobile home parks. Mr. Carlson discussed the conditions found at Payton Park, and compared it with the condition of another mobile home park to the south of Payton Park, where there was grass, where no trash is stored around the mobile homes, and where some tenants have installed picket fences around the mobile home. Mr. Carlson stated that in his opinion, this Park at 3141 South Santa Fe Drive is in general a nice park. Mr. Carlson noted that Payton Park has 13 mobile homes at the present time. He stated that he was ready to suggest to Mr. Pettitt at the next meeting, that the Payton Mobile Home Park be brought up to standards as the Park at 3141 South Santa Fe Drive has been, and that he would recommend ·that the Commission give Mr. Pettitt per- mission to have 17 trailer spaces. Discussion followed. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 P.M. Gertrude G. Welty Recording Secretary * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I.

IV. PLANNING COMMISSION -CITY COUNCIL MEETING The matter of a joint City Council -Planning Commission meeting was discussed. Mrs. Romans asked Councilman Lone if the matter was discussed at the Council meeting December 15, 1969? Mr. Lone stated that it had been, and that it was felt that it might be better to wait until Council appointments to the Commission had been made. Further discussion followed. Mr. Parkinson entered the meeting. V. NEW BUSINESS. Mrs. Romans reviewed items that will be considered at the meeting on January 6, 1970, and reported on the progress of the Land Use Report. VI. CITY COUNCIL ACTION. Mr. Lone reported that the City Council had agreed to participate in the cost of the re- modeling of the Denver Regional Council of Governments headquarters, but only if sufficient numbers of other jurisdictions participated, thus assuring that the remodeling would be completed. There being no further business, the meeting was declared adjourned. Gertrude G. Welty Recording Secretary * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
