Mr. Lentsch asked who appointed the member to attend the Council of Governments Policy.Advisory
meetings? Mrs. Romans stated that the Commission appointed a member to attend the Policy Ad-
visory Committee meetings, but that Council appointed the representative to the Council of
Governments itself. It was pointed out that in the past, the Chairman has attended the Policy
Advisory Committee meetings, if he felt he would have the time to do so. Discussion followed.
Carlson moved:
Lone seconded: Chairman Lentsch be appointed to attend Policy Advisory Committee
meetings from the Englewood Planning Commission.
The motion carried.
It was moved, seconded, and carried that the meeting be adjourned. Meeting adjourned at 10

III. WINSLOW CONSTRUCTION
Huron/Cornell Vacation
CASE #4-71
Mr. Lentsch asked Planning Director Supinger to give the background of this request.
Mr. Supinger stated that Winslow Construction Company has requested the vacation of South
Huron Street between Cornell and Dartmouth Avenues, and the vacation of West Cornell Avenue
between the Galapago /Huron alley and the intersection of West Cornell Avenue with Huron
Street. It was noted that both Huron and Cornell Avenues dead-end at their intersection.
Mr. Supinger stated that the property on both sides .of South Huron Street is owned by Winslow
Construction Company, with the exception of 57 ft. fronting on South Huron at the northwest
corner, which is owned by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rai'lway. Mr. Supinger stated
I

that the Railway Company has stated they have no objection to the requested vacation. Mr.
Supinger stated that all utilities Companies have been notified of the proposal, and it has
been requested that an easement be retained the same width as the dedicated rights-of-way.
Mr. Supinger stated that this property was zoned I-1 (Light Industrial) and was used for the
storage and parking of heavy equipment.
Mr. Supinger stated that the staff recommends approval of the request with the retention
of the easement, and provided that the fencing which the applicant is to provide be decorative
in nature.
Mr. Tom Eitel, counsel for Winslow Construction Company, stated that his client wished to
close Huron Street between Dartmouth and Cornell, and a portion of Cornell Avenue between
Huron and the Huron/Galapago alley. Mr. Eitel statedkthat his client will fence these
vacated streets off, and provide gates at Cornell and at the Dartmouth/Huron intersection.
Mr. Eitel noted that his client has had problems with vandalism of his equipment and he
feels that the vacation and fencing of the streets, with a 6 ft. fence, will help eliminate
these problems.
Mr. Eitel noted that the streets were not used by "through" traffic, but chiefly those who
wanted to get to the Winslow Construction Company, Mr. Eitel noted that with the vacation
of the streets, the City would not have the responsibility of maintenance. Mr. Eitel noted
that his client has agreed that the fencing to be provided will be "decorative". Mr. Eitel
stated that his client is agreeable to the retention of easements the width of the dedicated
right-of-way in Huron and Cornell.
Mr. Lentsch asked if Mr. Eitel had made a survey of the people living in the area? Mr.
Eitel replied that he had not.
Mr. Supinger stated that letters notifying property owners in the area of the request
were mailed. No comments have been received by the Planning Department on this matter.
Mr. Weist asked Mr. Eitel how the 6 ft. height for the fence was determined? Mr. Eitel
stated that this is the standard height for a fence around industrial property, and that it
would be in line with the existing fencing.
Mr. Don Robertson, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, asked if the railway would
get 1 /2 of the vacated street along their 57 ft. ownership (a triangular parcel not cross
hatched on map in Staff Report)? Mr. Supinger stated he could not answer that question,
and stated he would discuss the matter with the City Attorney. Mr. Robertson stated that
Winslow Construction Company leases some property from the Railroad, .and asked if they could
lease the portion of vacated street to the Company? Mr. Supinger replied that he felt the
leasing could be done if the right-of-way is vacated.
Mr. Lentsch asked if there were persons in the audience who wished to speak in opposition
to the request? No one indicated a desire to speak.
Mrs. Henning asked if either of the streets were to be involved in a storm drainage project?
Mr. Supinger checked the drainage maps, and reported that the storm drainage construction
was shown to the south in Dartmouth Avenue.
Dr. Walsh asked what prevented the City from benefiting from sale of a street when it is
determined that it is no longer needed, rather than vacating tµe street and benefiting
property owners? Mr. Supinger stated that he felt one reason was that land for streets is
dedicated to the City for street purposes, and not purchased by the City. Discussion
followed.
Henning moved:
Patrick seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that South Huron
Street between Cornell Avenue and Dartmouth Avenue and West Cornell
Avenue between the Galapago/Huron alley and South Huron Street be
vacated, an easement the width of the dedicated right-of-way to be re-
tained in both streets. The reason~ for this recommendation are:
(1) The vacation of these streets will not be contrary to the intent
and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, in that these streets now
"dead-end" and are not projected, nor would it be feasible, to
tie them into the traffic circulatory system of the City.
(2) Because the subject streets do not readily tie into the adjacent
street pattern, the City is put in the position of maintaining
the streets which primarily benefit one owner rather than the
public-at-large.
(3) Other streets in the area better serve the public and access will
not be denied any of the area residents by these vacations.
(4) The streets have been used for several years by the applicant almost
exclusively and have therefore been used as a part of his industrial
pursuits, which by the nature of the equipment used, creates some-
what of an attractive nuisance to children playing in the park re-
cently developed to the south of Dartmouth. By vacating the streets,
the property will be enclosed, thus securing the equipment, materials
and supplies from the children and thereby reducing the possibility
of injury to the children.
(5) The only other adjoining property owner, the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Company, has no objection to the vacation.
The motion carried unanimously.

IV. .VACATION OF WEST JEFFERSON AVENUE
West line of Bannock to east line
of Bannock/Cherokee alley.
CASE #5-71
Mr. Supinger stated that the City has initiated the vacation of West Jefferson Avenue from
the west line of Bannock Street to the east line of the .Bannock/Cherokee alley. This portion
of West Jefferson Avenue has not been opened, and were it to be opened, an 11% grade would
be required. It is the feeling of the staff that this portion of West Jefferson should not
be improved and opened, and recommends vacation of this street with the retention of ease-
ments. Mr. Supinger stated that the staff report had been sent to property owners iq the
area from Hampden to Kenyon.
Mr. Lentsch asked if there were members of the audience who wished to speak in favor of
the proposal?
Mr. James E. Allen stated he owned property adjacent to the street recommended for vacatio~
He asked if this street were vacated, if one half of the street would revert to his owner-
ship? He asked why the City wanted to vacate the roadway?
Mr. Supinger stated that the staff does not feel that the right-of-way is usable for street
purposes. Further brief discussion followed •.
Mr. Allen stated he had no objection to the proposed vacation.
Mr. Lentsch asked if there were anyone else who wished to speak? No member of the audience
indicated a desire to speak.
Mr. Carlson questioned the accuracy of the maps accompanying the Staff Report, in that one
map indicates a 20/40 split at the centerline of the street, and another map indicates a
30/30 division. Discussion followed.
Mr. Allen again addressed the Commission, and stated that there is a 5.10 ft. easement on
his property for sidewalk purposes, and asked if the vacation of the roadway would vacate
this easement, or what would happen with this easement? Mr. Supinger stated that as a rule
the sidewalk was a part of the right-of-way dedication and that the correct right-of-way
width is 60 feet. Further brief discussion ensued.
Senti moved:
Mosbarger seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the right-of-way
for West Jefferson Avenue, between the west right-of-way line of South
Bannock Street and the east line of the Bannock/Cherokee alley, be
vacated and that an easement be retained for utilities. The reasons for
the recommended vacation are:
(1) Additional right-of-way would have to be obtained for the street
to be opened and the limited use of the street would not justify
using public funds to obtain the right-of-way.
(2) The City Council considered the inclusion of West Jefferson Avenue
between South Bannock Street and South Cherokee Street in Paving
District No. 20, and excluded that street from the District following
the Public Hearing at which a majority of those present opposed the
paving. Unless the street were to be improved , it would not lend
itself to public travel and the majority of the property owners who
would be subject to assessment have indicated by petition and ap-
pearance at a Public Hearing that they do not want the street paved.
(3) The topography of the subject right-of-way is such that it does not
lend itself to desirable design standards. A minimal grade at the
approach to Bannock for east-bound traffic could not be achieved
feasibly and the grade on this portion of the street would be such
that it would be difficult for east-bound traffic to travel in
winter months.
(4) The intersection of South Bannock Street with the east leg of
Jefferson is of considerable hazard at this time because it is
located at the crest of the Bannock hill and visability is very
poor west-bound to north. To add the fourth leg to this inter-
section would introduce additional hazards.
(5) The residents in the area are not now denied traffic circulation
because this street is closed and they would not be without circula-
tion nor access were it to remain closed and the right-of-way vacated
as proposed.
The motion carried unanimously.
V. OFF-STREET PARKING STRUCTURE
3600 Block South Pennsylvania /South Pearl,
south end.
CASE #6-71
Mr. Supinger stated the request for approval of the parking facilities is made by Stopa Con-
struction Company. Mr. Stopa is constructing a 90-unit apartment complex, and is providing
103 off-street parking spaces, part of which is underground parking. Mr. Supinger stated
that the staff has analyzed the plans, and recommends approval of the plan, as amended.
l
Mr. Carlson discussed the parking problem existing in the 3600 block of South Delaware Street,
and stated that he could see a big parking problem resulting from the proposed 90 units.
Mr. Bob Reynolds, architect for Stopa Construction Company, stated that the proposed apart-
ment complex will be entirely of one-bedroom units. He stated he didn't know what the com-
position was on the complex in the 3600 block of South Delaware --one bedroom two bedroom . ' ' or three bedroom. He pointed out that the Ordinance requires one space per UNIT, not one
space per bedroom.
I
I
I
I
I
I
Page 1319
Dr. Walsh noted that the Staff Report states the complex will provide an excess of 13 spaces
over what is required by the Ordinance, and that the Planning Department recommends removal
of eight spaces·; he asked if this removal of eight spaces would reduce the total provided
to 95 spaces? Mr. Supinger replied that the removal of eight spaces would give the total
of 103 spaces.
Mrs .. Henning commended the developer for providing parking spaces in excess of the required
number, and for providing underground parking. She stated she felt this was a step f orward.
Henning moved :
Mosbarger seconded : The off-street parking plan for the 3600 block b e .. ween South Pearl and
South Pennsylvania, as presented by the Stopa Construction Company, be
approved as amended.
Walsh moved:
Henning seconded: The motion be amended to state that the parking plan shall provide at
least 103 parking spaces.
The motion carried unanimously.
The vote on the original motion, as amended: carried unanimously.
VI. ASPO CONFERENCE
New Orleans
Mr. Lentsch stated the ASPO Conference was to be held in New Orleans, March 27 to April 1st.
He stated that he would be available to attend, and would like to do so. Mr. Lentsch noted
that Mr. Senti has indicated he would also like to attend.·
Mr. Carlson questioned whether or not it would be beneficial to send two commission members
and a member of the staff to this conference; he also questioned whether there was sufficient
money in the budget for this. Discussion followed. Mr. Supinger noted that a member of the
staff would not be attending this Conference. Further discussion followed.
Henning moved:
Carlson seconded: The Planning Commission recommend that Mr. Leo Lentsch and Mr. Milton
Senti be authorized to attend the ASPO Conference in New Orleans March
27 to April 1, as the official delegates of the Englewood Planning Com-
mission.
The motion carried, with Mr. Senti abstaining.
VII. COMMISSION'S CHOICE.
Mr. Lentsch gave Certificates of Appointment to Mrs. Henning and Mr. Weist, and congratulated
them on their appointment to the Commission.
Mr. Lentsch discussed the Policy Advisory Committee meetings, on which Committee he is the
representative of the Englewood Planning Commission. He commented that he found some of the
proceedings rather confusing. Mr. Lentsch noted that an orientation program has been dis-
cussed, and that he thought this would be a very good idea. Mr. Lentsch stated that he felt
members of the Planning Commission should attend this if the orientation program is developed.
Mr. Lentsch asked what areas would receive staff reports on cases before the Commission, and
specifically asked about cases on zoning? Mr. Supinger .stated that in re~oning cases a public
notice is given in the official City newspaper, and the applicant has the responsibility of
posting the property. Mr. Supinger noted that on the two street vacations considered by the
Commission earlier, that the staff report had been sent to property owners on Galapago, and
from Hampden to Kenyon on Bannock and Cherokee.
Mr. Lentsch asked if extra copies of the Staff Report could be available for hand-outs at
the Commission meetings? Mr. Supinger stated this could be done.
Development on the Nate Burt property, both east and west of Broadway south of Belleview
Avenue, was discussed.
A Resolution urging the State Legislature to revise tax laws in regard to mobile homes was
discussed. Mr. Carlson stated that there is an inequity in the taxation of a single-family
home and a mobile home at the present time. Mr. Carlson suggested that a contact might be
made to the Legislative Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and ask for a review of the
Bill before the Legislature, if such a Bill exists.
The staff was asked to research the matter, and it will be considered further at the next
meeting.
Mrs. Henning stated that there were several things she felt the Planning Gommission should .
be concerned about and possibly involved with. She cited the Urban Renewal discussions at
the ~ou~cil level~ and commented that she felt this was an appropriate place for the Planning
Commission to be involved and she felt that the Commission must be involved.
Mr. Supi~ger discussed the steps leading up to an Urban Renewal progra1m --citizens committees
workable p~qgram, etc. --and noted that the citizens committee had been approved by the City '
Council on March 15, 1971.
Mrs. Henning stated that she felt perhaps an "outline" of what comprises a "workable program"
should be drafted for the Commission.
Mrs. Henning then discussed the ''.Englewood Square" project in downtown Englewood. She
stated that she felt the Planning Commission could be of help in this project. Mrs. Henning
also commented that she felt the Commission should look at the total plan for the downtown
area, and develop an "overall plan" for the downtown area . Discussion followed.
Page 1320
Mr. Supinger commented that he felt one of the problems was taxation --that if a property
was improved, the taxes rose on the improvement. He felt that something must be done to
put the taxes on the land --not on the improvements. Mr. Supinger noted that it is "difficult
to make strip shopping centers, such as Broadway, workable." Discussion on the Englewood
Square project ensued. Mrs. Henning stated she felt there should be active encouragement
from the City to help the merchants on Broadway. Mr. Lentsch asked if the Commission could
work on an overall plan? Discussion followed. Mr. Supinger noted that Mrs. Henning and Mr ~
Mosbarger are the representatives of the Commission on the citizens' committee and that
members should give them their thoughts for discussion at these meetings. Mr. Supinger
further discussed the Urban Renewal Authority; he stated that the Authority purchases the
land and then re-sells it. Mr. Patrick noted that he didn't think the landlords and business-
men in downtown Englewood would ever agree on an improvement project. Mr. Carlson commented
that he felt "imagination" was needed in the redevelopment of downtown Englewood. Mr. Sup:in ger
questioned whether the City could impose a plan on the people who are working for the "Englewood
Square", or does the City wait until the businessmen come to the City for help. He stated
that he didn't want to stymie individual initiative. Mr. Lentsch commented that he felt
more needed to be done than just improving the fronts of the buildings to make any improve-
ment project work. He stated he felt that definite goals must be set, and then maybe they
could accomplish something. Mr. Carlson pointed out that the City should look to providing
facilities for small conventions for 1,000 people or so. He stated that there might be a
location in downtown Englewood that would be proper for such facilities, and he felt this
possibility should be considered. Mr. Supinger commented that the continuing development
of the Swedish Medical Center facilities may have an effect on the development on Broadway.
Discussion followed. Mrs. Henning stated that she felt a "briefing" on the Comprehensive
Plan might be very helpful for the members of the Commission.
It was determined that a special session be tentatively set for April 13 for a review of tre
Comprehensive Plan and a "brainstorming session."
VIII. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE.
Mr. Supinger stated that Mrs. Romans will be devoting her time exclusively to the revision
of the Zoning Ordina~ce for the next several weeks.
A Resolution commending Mr. Russell G. Woods, Jr., for his service to the City, was signed
by members of the Commission and will be · presented to Mr. Woods at a time that will be con-
venient for him to attend a Commission meeting.
Patrick moved:

habitable environment in which to build a home, to raise a family, to work, and to enjoy
leisure hours; and
WHEREAS, The work of these men and women who choose to give of themselves and of
their time unselfishly in the service of their community is often taken for granted because
they do not seek publicity for what they do, but rather go about their tasks quietly and
conscientiously, and

recognized that it is a "privilege" accompanied by great responsibilities rather than a
"right" to be a citizen of Englewood; and

through many years of active participation in the Arapahoe County Chapter of the American
Red Cross, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Englewood Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary

WHEREAS, Russell G. Woods, Jr., has been a member of the Englewood Volunteer Fire
Department from June 7, 1940 until June of 1970 when he requested a leave of absence after
30 years of service; and
WHEREAS, Russell G. Woods, Jr., was a member of the Englewood City Council from
January 1, 1956 to December 31, 1964; and

from 1964 until February 1, 1970, and as a member of the Englewood Library Board and Parks
and Recreation Commission while serving on the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Russell G. Woods, Jr., was a member of the City Planning and Zoning Com-

February 5, 1969 to February 3, 1970; and
WHEREAS, During the time Russell G. Woods, Jr., served on the City Council and
Planning Commission, not only did the city increase in size through annexations from 4.29
square miles to 6.37 square miles; but, through the efforts of Russell G. ·Woods, Jr., and
other dedicated community leaders, new industries and businesses, including a major shopping
complex, were attracted to our community, which in turn have stimulated increased commercial,
financial and residential development, making Englewood the "Hub" of the south Metropolitan .
Denver area; and
WHEREAS, After several years of detailed preparation, the first official Comprehen-
sive Plan was completed and adopted by the City of Englewood during the third term of Russell

MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
DATE: March 16, 1971
SUBJECT: Vacation of South Huron Street between Dartmouth and Cornell Avenues, and of
West Cornell Avenue between the Galapago /Huron alley and South Huron Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that South Huron Street between
Cornell Avenue and Dartmouth Avenue and West Cornell Avenue between the Galapago /
Huron alley and South Huron Street be vacated, an easement the width of the dedica-
ted right-of-way to be retained in both streets. The reasons for this recommenda-
tion are:
(1) The vacation of these streets will not be contrary to the intent and purpose
of the Comprehensive Plan, in that these streets now "dead-end" and are not
projected, nor would it be feasible, to tie them into the traffic circulatory
system of the City.
(2) Because the subject streets do not readily tie into the adjacent street
pattern , the City is put in the position of maintaining the streets which
primarily benefit one owner rather than the public-at-large.
(3) Other streets in the area better serve the public and access will not be
denied any of the area residents by these vacations.
(4)
(5)
The streets have been used for several years by the applicant almost ex-
clusively and have therefore been used as a part of his industrial pursuits
which by the nature of the equipment used, creates somewhat of an attractiv~
nuisance t~ children playing in the park recently developed to the south of
Dartmouth. By vacating the streets, the property will be enclosed, thus
securing the equipment, materials and supplies from the children and thereby
reducing the possibility of injury to the children.
l
The only other adjoining property owner, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway Company, has no objection to the vacation.
Respectfully submitted,
By Order of the City Planning
and Zoning Commission.

MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
DATE: March 16, 1971
SUBJECT: Vacation of West Jefferson Avenue from the west line of South Bannock Street to
the east line of the Bannock/Cherokee alley.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the right-of-way
for West Jefferson Avenue, between the west right-of-way line of South
Bannock Street and the east line of the Bannock /Che~okee alley, be vacated
and that an easement be retained for utilities. The reasons for the

-. .
(1) Additional right-of-way would have to be obtained for the street
to be opened and the limited use of the street would not justify

Avenue between South Bannock Street and South Cherokee Street
