WILLIAM SEWELL 2670 West Union ) Mr. Lentsch asked Mrs. Romans to give the background for this request. CASE #19-73 Mrs. Romans stated that a request for a Subdivision Waiver has been filed on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. William Sewell, 2670 West Union Avenue. Mr. Weist entered and took his place with the Commission. Mrs. Romans noted that the agent who initially filed the application has changed places of employment, and another agent has assumed responsibility for this request. Mr. Brown entered and took his place with the Commission. Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Stasko, Moore Realty, has asked that the matter be continued until the next meeting on May 22, 1973. This will give Mr. Stasko additional time to familiarize himself with the request, and also to discuss the matter with area residents. Martin moved: Vobejda seconded: The matter of the Sewell Subdivision Waiver request be tabled until May 22, 1973. Mrs. Henning asked that better maps be provided by the applicant for that meeting. The vote was called. AYES: Vobejda; Brown; Weist; Henning; Tanguma; Lentsch; Stanley; Martin NAYS: None ABSENT: Jorgenson The motion carried. IV. TEJON INDUSTRIAL PARK Subdivision Plat CASE #21-73 Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Rex Garrett, who will present the case on behalf of the Tejon Development Company is not yet present, and it has been requested that the matter be delayed until later in the evening. The Chair so ordered. V. SOUTH NAVAJO STREET Princeton to Oxford CASE #15-73B April 17, 1973 March 20, 1973 Mrs. Romans stated that the staff has sent information to the Planning Commission and to all parties concerned regarding the proposed extension of South Navajo Street. She noted that there were persons representing proponents and opponents present who wished an opportunity to speak. Mrs. Romans cited the Voorhees Traffic Study, recently completed, and read that section of the study relative to South Windermere Street, which states: "With the continued growth in both Downtown Littleton and Downtown Englewood and the in- dustrial corridor along the Santa Fe and Denver and Rio Grande Railroad tracks, an alternate local travel route and additional north-south travel capacity to the central business dis- tricts are needed. Windermere Avenue (formerly the combination of Santa Fe Lane, Pecos Street and Windermere Avenue in Littleton) nearly meets this need except for one missing link (from Quincy to Oxford), poor alignment at Tufts Avenue, and generally fair to poor street surface and pavement width standards south of Tufts Street. "A Windermere Avenue north/south arterial will provide better traffic access to the industrial area north of Tufts and a needed alternate route to Downtown Englewood and Downtown Littleton for local traffic generated east of Santa Fe Drive. "Alternatives. "The alternatives to the Windermere arterial are greater use of the Santa Fe expressway for short length, local trips, and/or possible designation of, and improvement to, Huron Street in Englewood as a minor arterial. Both alternatives are inferior to the development of a Windermere minor arterial from a traffic service standpoint. The Huron alternative would be extremely expensive, and because of Huron's limited continuity, there would be few benefits." Mrs. Romans stated that the City staff has determined that the designation and development of Huron would not be satisfactory for industrial traffic; there is still the alternative of designation of South Navajo Street, and development of Windermere through a developed in- dustrial area, Mrs. Romans stated that she believes the charge of the Planning Commission is to determine whether the City does need additional right-of-way between Quincy and Oxford in this area. If it is determined that additional right-of-way is needed, then it is the responsibility of the Commission to recommend to the City Council that this street should be designated in the Master Street Plan, and, if the Commission should so desire, a priority given to the acquisition of the land for the street. I I I I I I Page 1563 Henning moved: Weist seconded: The matter of South Navajo Street extension be removed from the Table. AYES: Martin; Weist; Brown; Lentsch; Vobejda; Henning; Tanguma; Stanley NAYS: None ABSENT: Jorgenson The motion carried. Mr. Lentsch stated the Commission would listen to the proponents but cautioned them against repetition and extensive presentation. Mr. C. A. Smith, President Martin Shippers Supply 1366 West Oxford Avenue -stated that a formal request was made to the Office of. Community Development to enable th& proponents to adequately pr€sent their reasons for requesting the extension and improvement of South Navajo St~eet. Mr. Smith stated that if the extension and improve-· ment of South Navajo Street were approved, it would be a "multi- party benefit" action. Mr. Smith presented a large map of the area, indicating the ·various ownerships thereon; he stated that Mr. Holthaus and he both want to improve the central portion of their properties, but there is no access to this area. Mr. Smith stated that he proposes warehouses --approximately 100,000 square feet in total floor area --of pre-stress concrete to house in- dustries that will be attracted to the area. Total cost of the improvements will be $li400,000. Revenue from property taxes on these improvements would be $40, 680 per year; s ·a les and use tax resulting from the development of the improvements would be $43,500. Mr. Smith stated that the value of the land would increase from $.87 to $1.15 per square foot if the street were to be extended. The extension and -improvement of the street would also enable proper drainage, water and sewer services to be provided to the existing improvements. The extension and improvement of the street would ai-0 in lessening traffic congestion, in that motorists could have an option and use either Oxford or Quincy to cross the railroad tracks to Santa Fe Drive. The extension and improvement of South Navajo Street would eliminate the nee<l of industrial traffic of using South Lipan Street, a residential street. Mr. Smith presented to the Commission a petition signed by 28 residents on South Lipan Street asking that South Navajo Street be designated and improved to a 60 foot right-of-way. Mr. Smith stated that there were six persons he was una~le to coritact about the petition. Those persons who were contacted signed the petition. Mr. Smith summarized his presentation by citing the benefits the City would realize from the proposed extension and street improvement; the benefits to propert~ owners in both the industrial and residential area, and the improve- ment of the traffic pattern, circulation and access. There were no further proponents who spoke on this matter. Mr. Lentsch then asked that the opponents present their case. Mr. Douglass Auer stated that he was representing Mr. Chavez in this matter. Mr. Auer stated that he wished to thank Mrs. Romans for the courtesy she has extended to Mr. Chavez and himself in the submission of materials. Mr. Auer reiterated his arguments of the last two meetings, namely that the taking of land for the street would cost Mr. Chavez money. The entire 60' w.idth would come from Mr. Chavez property for its entire length from Princeton north to Oxford. Mr. Auer stated that it would appear the contractor responsible for the construction of Mr. Chavez' building "was off up to 1-1/2 feet in the lo.cation of the build- ing", inasmuch as the Public Works Department show the location of the building to be within the proposed 60 ft. right-of-way. The Building Permit stated there was to be a 60 ft. set- back from Mr. Chavez property line. Mr. Auer stated that Mr. Chavez was aware o .f the 30 ft. easement to the south of his prope~ty, and noted that Mr. Vancil, owner of West Quincy Corpora- tion, also questions whether there is in fact a 60 ft. right-of-way dedicated on South Navajo Street from Quincy to Princeton. Mr. Auer stated their objection to the proposal is based on the closeness of the building to the property line; the proximity of a 44 ft. roadway in a . 58' right-of-way to the building., and what affect this will have upon the operation within the building. Mr. Auer noted that "heavy trucks will be going into ,that area, causing vi bra- t ion, dirt and dust"; this would affect the spray paint operation on the westn side of the building. Mr. Auer stated that it might become necessary to move the building location, . and that his client is concerned about this possibility. Mr. Auer noted that the traffic counts taken on South Lipan Street at their request, do not, by the opinion of the Public Works Director, indicate a need for Navajo Street extension. Mr. Auer noted that if Navajo Street were to be extended rather than improving Winderme~e, truckers and other motorists using Navajo Street would be subjected to several "turning mo~e­ ments" inasmuch as Navajo Street is not aligned with Windermere. Mr. Auer stated that "the taking of Windermere on the west side is more logical" than the extension of South Na~ajo Street. Mr. Auer stated that his client's opposition is · based on: 1. The unnecessary cost to the City for a two block street. 2. The lack of need for Navajo. 3. The cost to Mr. Chavez, possibly part of which could not be recouped. 4. The need of the neighborhood; the proposal would serve one person's property. 5. Question whether Windermere might not be .the proper answer and development of that street would solve the needs of the property owners. Mr. Auer noted that the proponents are in the process of developing plans for that area, and that they could rearrange the buildings to front on Windermere. It appears to him the westerly approach would be equally available and logical for improvement of the traffic pattern. Page 1564 Discussion followed. Mr. Brown stated that there is a projection of 6500 cars per day using the Windermere route, and yet the traffic count taken recently "shows no need for the develop- ment of Navajo." He asked for an explanation of this discrepancy. Mrs. Romans stated that the projected traffic count is based on the assumption that Windermere would be improved. Drivers are not using the Windermere route at the present time because Windermere is unimproved; therefore, the traffic counts taken two weeks ago do not reflect the need. Mr. Tanguma asked about the problem of vibration, and what effect this would have on the operation of Mr. Chavez' business? Mr. Chavez stated that they don't know what the effect will be at the present time, but that there is a possibility that it could effect the business adversely. Mr. Auer stated that they have not had studies done on the effect of vibration; they will have to do so if it is determined that the land will be taken for street purposes. Mr. Auer stated that the building may well become useless; they feel this is a possibility. Further discussion ensued. Mr. Jorgenson entered and took his place with the Commis.sion. Mr. Fred Vondy, representing West Quincy Co.rpora.tion, 1325 West Quincy, stated that "assumptions have been made that are not correct." Mr. Vondy stated that his client does not see any reason for the extension of South Navajo Street. Mr .' Vondy stated that the request "is designed to benefit the other parties who are the applicants at the detriment of my client." · Mr. Tanguma asked about the typographical error which was mentioned in a memorandum to the Department of Community Development from Public Works Director Waggoner? Mr. Vondy stated that he represented Mr. Vancil at the ·time he purchased the property; they were assured the measurement was 1850 feet west of a ce'rtain point, and not 1815 feet. Mr. Le.ntsch asked for a show of hands of those present in f .a vor of the request. Three persons indicated they were in favor of the request. Mr. Lentsch then asked for a show of hands of those persons present in opposition to the request? Seven persons indicated opposition. Mr. Martin stated that he felt there was more involved in this request than one group of people vs. another group of people. Mr. Martin stated that he felt the Commission must take into consideration the benefit to the City of Englewood were the street to be extended. Mr. Martin noted that Windermere has been discussed as an alternate to the extension of South Navajo; he stated "I suppose this could be done, but I do think over a long period of time we will have the Columbine Freeway and Navajp seems to be the logical extension.'' Mr. Martin then discussed the. matter of cost to the City, which was estimated at one time to be approxi- mately $200,000 for the Navajo ~treet extension. Mr. Martin stated that it appeared to him that this cost could be amortized over a 10-year period with no big loss to anyone concerned. Mr. Martin stated that there are larger benefits to be realized than the matter of one group of citizens vs. another. Mrs. Stanley stated that she agreed with Mr. Martin. She felt it would be to everyone's benefit if South Navajo were to be extended. Mrs. Stanley stated that the extension of South Navajo Street is much more plausible than Windermere at this time. Mr. Tanguma again discussed the RTD and PRT proposals. Mr. Tanguma stated that he opposed the extension of Navajo because of the cost, and for long-range planning Windermere should be considered rather than Navajo. Mr. Tanguma stated that even if Windermere costs more money now, it must be considered "because in the long run we will have to acquire property for the PRT System." . Mrs. Vobej da asked if there was a projected cost figure on the purchase of righ,t-of-way along Windermere? Mrs. Romans stated that appraisals would have to be made before a cost figure could be cited. She pointed out that taking the Windermere route would encompass the taking of access to the railroad by spur trackage, and that parts of three buildings would be taken. Mrs. Romans pointed out that if the Commission wanted to request funds from City Council to finance an appraisal of the Windermere route, it was their prerogative to do so. Mrs. Henning stated that she did not feel that cost was the question before the Commission; this would ultimately have to be decided by City Council. Mrs. Henning stated that PRT was "so nebulous" at this time, that it did not apply to this situation. The question before the Commission at this time is to provide for Industrial traffic, which is an entirely different type of traffic situation. Mrs. Henning pointed out that to recommend ~he extension of South Navajo Street does not preclude the extension of South Windermere; however, she did feel that Windermere extension would have a low priority rating before Council. Mrs. Henning pointed out that the City presently has right-of-way for Navajo between Quincy and Princeto~ and it is a question only of obtaining right-of-way for the street between Princeton and Oxford. On the other hand, the City has no right-of-way for Windermere for these two blocks .• Mrs. Henning pointed out that Mr. Chavez would be reimbursed for the land taken for street purposes, and stated that she feels the proposal is a logical development. Discussion followed. Henning moved: Martin seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that South Navajo Street be designated in the Master Street Plan between West Princeton Avenue extended and West Oxford Avenue and the right-of-way acquired and the street constructed for the following reasons: 1. The opening of South Navajo Street would give better access to abutting industrial sites. 2. The proposed st.reet would relieve the problem of industrial traffic on residential streets. 3. The proposed street would provide a better traffic pattern than now exists in the area. Mr. Tanguma stated that he would like to see the priority of improvement of windermere ~nd acquisition of right-of-way between Quincy and Oxford for Windermere raised at the Council level. Discussion followed. I I I I I I Page 1565 Tanguma moved: The City Council look at both Windermere and South Navajo Street, with a view to long-range planning on Windermere Street. There was no second to Mr. Tanguma's motion; the Chair declared the motion dead. The vote on Mrs. Henning's motion was called: AYES:. NAYS: . Jorgenson; Weist; Vobejda; Brown; Henning; Stanley; Lentsch; Martin Tanguma The motion carried. IV. TEJON INDUSTRIAL PARK Subdivision Plat CASE #21-73 Mrs. Romans stated that members of the Commission have received copies of the preliminary plat for the Tejon Industrial Park. This parcel of land is situated south of West Harvard Avenue in Northwest Englewood. That part of the parcel east of South Raritan Street is zoned I-2, Heavy Industrial; west of South Raritan Street, the land is zoned I-1, Light Industrial. Mrs. Romans reviewed the procedure for approving a Subdivision Plat. It was noted that the preliminary plat has been submitted to all applicable Departments, and to the State Land Use Commission for comments. All comments and recommendations that have been returned to the Department had been incorporated in the Staff Report. Mr. Rex Garrett stated that he had discussed most of the suggested amendments to the plat with the Public Works Department. Mr. Garrett stated he saw no problem with provision of utilities to the sites. Mr. Garrett stated that "all of the recommended amendments are OK with the Tejon Development Company." Mr. Garrett stated that he would like to get approval of the preliminary plat as soon as possible. Discussion followed. Mrs. Henning suggested that two foot contours be shown on the plat also, as required by the Subdivision Regulations. Mr. Garrett stated that a portion along the south border of the property has been sold to the City for the Harvard Gulch Greenbelt /Parkway, and a portion on the northeast corner of the site has also been sold. A Subdivision Waiver was obtained several years ago for the sale of a portio n of the ground on the northwest corner to the T. A. Pelsue Company. Further discussion followed. Mrs. Stanley apked what price industrial ground was selling for? Mr. Garrett stated any- where from $.70 a square foot to $1.50 per square foot. In this area, it's running from $.70 to $1.20 per square foot at the present time. ' Mrs •. Roma .ns stated that the staff would prefer to wait on a Public Hearing date until the Final Plat has been ~eceived and reviewed by the staff. Mrs. Romans stated that the earliest p o ssible date for a public hearing would be June 5th . Mr. Lentsch aske~ that the staff poll the Commission on a date for a Public Hearing when the Final Plat has been received. Martin .moved: Henning seconded: The Planning Commission conditionally approve the Preliminary Plat of the Tejon Industrial Park, subject to the following amendments to the Plan. A Final Plat incorporating these amendments is to be submitted to the Planning Commission for Public Hearing. AYES: NAYS: (1) A 24-foot wide easement along the east line of the property must be shown (Book 1511, Page 123.) (2) The rights-of-way for Tejon, Harvard and Raritan are not a part of the property being subdivided and should not be shown as such. (3) An additional 5 feet of right-of-way must be platted along the north line of the propo sed Lot 1, Block 2. (A 30 foot dedication is needed for the south side of West Harvard Avenue and there is at this time only 25 feet south of the land line.) (4) Drainage easement shall be provided along all side and rear lot lines to the specification of the City Engineer. (5) An 8 foot utility easement shall be provided along the north line of Lots 1 ,nd 10 in Block 1. (6) The legal description must be corrected to exclude previously dedicated rights-of-way. (7) The Public Service Agreement set forth on the Plat should be signed by the Public Service Company. (8) All information and documents required by §12-3-26 and §12-3-27 of the Subdivision Regulations shall be provided prior to the submission of the Final Plat to the City Planning and Zoning Commission. (9) The vicinity sketch shown on the preliminary plan does not provide the information required in §12-3-23 of the Subdivision Regulations, and should be corrected to do so. (10) Contours every two feet shall be shown on the Plat. Tanguma; Brown; Weist; Lentsch; Jorgenson; Henning; Martin; Vobejda; Stanley None The motion carried. ------- -------- ---- --- -- Mrs. Romans introduced Assistant City Manager Andy Mccown to members of the Planning Commission. --------- -- --------- --- Page 1566 VI. LYNNCO INVESTMENT COMPANY Cherokee at Kenyo~ CASE #4-73 Mrs. Romans gave a progress report on the Lynnea Investment Company development. Although there have been some minor changes in the Plan since it was approved on January 16th, points of ingress and egress for parking have not changed, nor have the drainage and 1ire lane lo- cations been changed. Mrs. Romans stated that the developer has revised his plans and has eliminated all of the efficiency units and has increased the number of two-bedroom units. He has also decreased the height of the building from eight to seven stories, and rather than 60 units, there will be a total of 56 units, including a penthouse. The required number of parking spaces is 95; the revised plan shows 97 spaces to be provided. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff has checked the revised plan out with all departments; it is the feeling of the staff that the plan is essentially the same as that approved by the Commission on January 16th, in that the points of access, drainage and fire lanes have not , been changed. Following brief discussion, the Commission concurred that there was no need for reconsidera- tion of the plan. ------- --- ---- ---- --- - - --- - -- - VII. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE. Mrs. Romans stated that on May 15th, 7:30 P.M. in the Community Room of City Hall, there will be a second showing of the Core Area Film. This is sponsored by the Core Area Citizens Committee and the Englewood Chamber of Commerce. All members of the Planning Commission were urged to attend. The Core Area Consultant would like to meet with the Planning Commission in a dinner meeting on May 17th. Proposed location for the dinner meeting is the Library Conference Room at 6:30 P.M. Members indicated they would make every effort to attend. ------ --- -- ----- -- -------- - -- -- VIII. COMMISSION'S CHOICE. Mr. Lentsch noted that several of the newer members have not been on the tour of the City that the staff has outlined in the past. Mr. Lentsch felt that a study session and tour would be very helpful, and suggested that this be scheduled as soon as possible. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff would arrange such a tour. Mr. Martin discussed the memorandum from Mr. Nollenberger, Director of Finance, wherein it is stated that FICA contributions will be withheld from the Commission's expense checks. Mr .. Martin pointed out that the members are not "paid" employees of the City, but rather are re- imbursed for expenses. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff would attempt to gather more in- formation on this matter for presentation at a later meeting. Mr. Weist asked what elements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance as applied to multi- family districts, would encourage or discourage renting to families? Is anything being done to encourage developers to build family units? Mrs. Romans noted that in some communities, developers have been asked to assign a certain percentage of their total units to low-income; and that it might be possible to request de- velopers to make provisions for families. Mrs. Romans discussed the recent amendment to the R-2-B Zone District, which will allow three units on 75 ft., or four units on 100 ft.; it was felt that by permitting more units if more frontage were available it would give developers enough flexibility to encourage redevelopment and to provide additional dwelling units. Mrs. Romans then discussed her ideas on regeneration of neighborhoods, one of which would be the instigation of a tax incentive program to try to encourage redevelopment of areas which are not in a renewal area. Another approach would be a bonus in density. Mrs. Romans stated that she was doing considerable research on these two approaches. Mrs. Romans then discussed her ideas on a new zone classification --a "conservation district." Mrs. Henning asked if the Commission could institute rezoning? Mrs. Romans stated that the Commission can; they may also institute proceedings to develop a new zone classification or any other amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Discussion followed. Mr. Lentsch commented that he would like to see school facilities used all year long. Mr. Brown offered his congratulations to Mr. Weist for his election to the School Board, and noted that there are also new members on the Cherry Creek School Board. He suggested that perhaps something could be worked out between the Englewood School District and the Cherry Creek School District on the Larwin Site to bring the family units into the Englewood School District. Mr. Weist asked if there was some way the City could be made aware of when the various green- house sites are available for redevelopment and to make suggestions on the type of development the City.would like to see on these sites? Discussion followed. Meeting adjourned. Gertrude G.

III . SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER Off-Street Parking Lot CASE #22-73 Mr. Supinger stated that the request of th~ Medical ~enter is for approval of an off-street parking lot, which would provide 76 off-street parking spaces. Mr. Supinger stated that the proposed parkipg lot is located on the southeast corner of the Hampden /P~arl -intersection , and would be designated for Swedish Medical Center employees. The proposal includes parking spaces on both sides of the alley. Mr. Supinger stated that the proposed parking lot meets the requirements of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance; however, the staff recommends that four s~paces be eliminated for ease of maneuvering, giving a total of 72 off-street parking spaces. The staff does recommend approval of the proposed parking. lot, with the removal of the four spaces as indicated on the parking plans submitted to the members of the Commission , dated April 25, 1973. Mr. Supinger pointed out that there must be fencing a minimum of four feet in height on the south side of the parking area west of the alley; this requirement is not part of the Planning Commission consideration. Discussion followed.
