attention approximately 30 days ago, and inasmuch as he was not certain whether the solution
to the problem would require a rezoning, or whether it required the action of the Board of
Adjustment and Appeals, applications had been made to both bodies. The matter was heard by
the Board on January 10th, and was tabled until th~ next regular meeting, pending receipt of
advice from the City Attorney. The next regular meeting of the Board is scheduled for
February 14, 1973. Mr. Criswell stated that in the event the City Attorney rules that the
Board of Adjustment does have jurisdiction over the request, and provided the Board rules
favorably, the request for rezoning will be withdrawn. Mr. Criswell stated that he wished
to ask con~inuance of this matter before the Planning Commission until February 21, 1973.

Commission and before the Board of Adjustment.

IV. VOCATE ASSOCIATES
Subdivision Waiver
CASE #34-72
Mr. Supinger stated that the property under consideration in this case is the southwest
corner of East Bates and South Clarkson Street. The proposal is to divide the property in-
to six building sites; all sites will conform with the R-1-C zoning which is on the property.
A revised survey of the site has been given members this evening, which survey shows a 5'
easement on the west side of the property for utilities.
Mr. Gil Vocate
1776 S. Jackson -stated that he was acting as agent for Alsum Bros., Inc., property
owners. It is proposed that single-family dwellings will be constructed
on the six building sites, the value of the residences to be between
$30,000 to $32,000. Mr. Vocate stated that it is the desire of the
property owners to develop their land comparable to the surrounding
neighborhood.
Mrs. Henning asked if the survey would be made part of the recorded waiver, and if the de-
velopers would be held to this survey, which shows the division of the lots, frontage, etc.?
Mr. Supinger stated that it would be part of the recorded waiver, and the developers would
be held to that division of land.
Mr. Carlson asked if the developers were being asked to provide on-site parking for their
vehicles? Mr. Vocate stated that it is intended to have a driveway into garages on the rear
of the lot on the south of three sites; the northern three sites will have access from
Clarkson or Bates.
Mr. Brown stated that he was pleased to see a developer building "homes" in the City; he
had driven by the site, and the proposal "looks good" to him.
Discussion followed.
Henning moved:
Vobejda seconded: The Planning Commission grant the waiver to the Subdivision Regulations
as requested by Vocate Associates, Case #34-72. Survey #72-3505, dated
as received January 16, 1973, is to be filed with the Arapahoe County

to show the Commission some slides of the subject site , and of the
site plan proposed for the development. Mr. Kephart stated the de-
velopers propose six buildings, with a total of 120 units. The
property is zoned R-3-B, Multi-family Residential, and would permit
approximately 135 units if developed to full capacity. Mr. Kephart
noted that the structures are on "two levels" to take advantage of the
10% -12% slope of the land; the developers have designed the buildings
so that the units will have a view to the mountains to the south and
west. The developers propose 72 two-bedroom units, and 48 one-bedroom
units. The one-bedroom units will rent for $145 per month; the two-
bedroom for $175 per month. All utilities will be underground. Mr.
Kephart noted that Public Service Company has a 75' right-of-way across
the site.
Mr. Brown asked if there had been any opposition by the residents of the area? Mr. Kephart
stated that there had been no opposition; DRB Investment Company representatives had met
twice with Mr. and Mrs. Bashor; no objections were voiced. Mr. Kephart stated t .ha t DRB
Investment Company had hoped to begin construction on February 1, 1973; they will begin as
soon as they receive approval of the City Council, and ·the weather permits •.
Mr. Lentsch asked how much open space there would be on the site? Mr. Kephart stated that
it is a 4-1 /2 acre site; the structures cover approximately 17% of the site.
Mr. Brown asked how many parking spaces are provided? Mr. Kephart stated that 204 spaces
are provided, which meet the requirements of the 1-1/2 spaces per unit, plus guest parking.

Mr. Kephart stated that within the rental range previously quoted, the developer is providing
more than most developers do; each unit will have a balcony or a patio to take advantage of
the view toward the mountains.
Mr. Carlson asked if there could be access from the K-Mart parking lot to this site --if
the land was the same level? Mr. Carlson noted the grade on the access way of the subject
plan and asked if fire trucks could maneuver that in the winter time? Mr. Kephart stated
that the grade had been approved by the Fire Department; it is a 10% natural grade, and the
developer proposes to "f latten off" 2 /3 way up the hill to a 7 % grade.. Mr .. Kephart stated
tha~ tha site will be fenced on the west, north and east property lines.
Mr. Kephart further discussed the drainage proposal. The eastern

VII. COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE
Amendment of §22.2-5f
CASE #3-73
Mr. Supinger stated that Public Notice of the Public Hearing has been published in the
Englewood Herald Sentinel. Mr. Supinger stated that this amendment is in relation to com-
pensation for members of the Planning Commission and for Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
Mr. Supinger directed the attention of the members to a survey of cities of comparable size
which was conducted last year, and the payment of their board and commission members.
Henning moved:
Vobejda seconded: The Public Hearing on amendment of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance,
§22.2-5, be opened.

Mr. Lentsch then asked if there were any members of the audience who wished to speak in op-
position to the amendment? No one wished to speak.
Mrs. Henning noted that in reviewing the results of the survey conducted last year, she
could not find another City which paid members of Boards and Commissions. Mr. Supinger
stated that Arvada does so. Mrs. Henning stated that in that case, she would voice a minor
objection to paying board and commission members. Mr. Lentsch stated that he felt if "one
gets paid then they all should get paid;" and noted that some council members don't get
paid in some communities also. Discussion followed.

Discussion followed. Mrs. Henning stated that Council has, in the 1973 Budget, given pre-
liminary approval to equalizing the pay for those boards and commissions that are paid. Mr.
Carlson commented that he felt citizens had an "obligation" to serve on the boards and com-
missions, and that compensation should not be a matter of consideration.
Mrs. Henning asked if this matter had to have a Public Hearing before City Council? Mr.
Supinger stated that it was an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning. Ordinance, and he would
assume that a Public Hearing before Council was required.
Mr. Brown stated that since it is in the budget, and since some of the other boards and com-
missions are being paid, he would hope that someone would make a motion to recommend the ap-
proval of the amendment to City Council.
Vobejda moved:
Stanley seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the amendment of
§22.2-5f of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance be approved.

Page 1535
stated he was representing Lynnco Investment Company, property owners
and applicant. Mr. Eitel stated that the request is for approval of
the parking lot they propose in conjunction with an eight-story apart-
ment building in the 3600 block South Cherokee Street. Mr. Eitel
stated that Mr. Mel Denning, president of the company, and Mr. Dieckmann
of Shield Realty, were present to discuss the matter. Mr. Eitel presented
an architectural rendering of the proposed building; he stated there will
be seven floors above ground, and one floor "subsurface", on which will
be a swimming pool, recreation room, work-out room, storage space, and a
management office. The total cost of the proposal, including land cost,
is $1.1 million. Mr. Eitel stated that the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
requires Commission approval of all parking lots with more than 50 parking
spaces. Mr. Eitel then discussed the location of the parking; the guest
parking spaces will be at the rear of the development, with access from
the alley. The development will have sub-surface parking on both sides
of the building, and surface parking. Sub-surface parking areas will be
entered from the alley. Parking will be 90 °, 9' x 19' stalls, which
comply with the Ordinances of the City. There will be some stalls on
the sub-surface level nearest Cherokee which will be 10'8" in width, and
surface parking stalls nearest the alley will be 16'2'' in width for ease
of maneuvering. Access to surface parking areas will be from Cherokee
Street at two points; curb cuts will be 25' in width. Mr. Eitel stated
that Lynnea Investment Company has agreed to pave the Cherokee-Delaware
alley in the 3600 block to City specifications. Mr. Eitel stated that
the possibility of designating the alley one-way north bound has been
discussed with City personnel. Lynnea Investment Company will ask that
this be done, as well as restricting street parking along the west side
of South Cherokee Street. Mr. Eitel stated that subsurface parking
areas will not be screened; surface parking areas will have a brick-
facing around the parking structure. Surfacing of all parking areas
will be concrete or asphalt. Mr. Eitel then discussed fire lane loca-
tions. A planting area in the front of the building will provide access
for tqe fire equipment. Fire access from the rear will be from the
alley. The building will have no windows on the north or south. The
Fire Department has approved the proposed access for their vehicles.
Lighting of the parking areas will be standard exterior lighting for the
surface parking; the subsurface area will have fluorescent lighting
along the center of the aisles.
Signing will include an entrance sign, directional signs for guest
parking; there would also be one-way signing in the alley if the City
approves such designation, and signing along Cherokee Street prohibiting
on-street parking on the west side if the City approves the request of
the applicant.
Drainage was then considered. Mr. Eitel stated that roof drainage will
run to Cherokee Street. The sub-surface parking area will drain to the
alley. The rear 1 /3 of the surface parking area will drain to the alley,
with the front 2 /3 draining to Cherokee Street. Mr. Eitel noted that
the City Ditch crosses the property. The applicants have undertaken
proceedings for rechannelization of the Ditch, and the dedication on the
part of the applicant has been accomplished. The City is in the process
of vacating the present easement across the property in the present lo-
cation of the Ditch. Mr. Eitel stated that the applicants have discussed
the proposal with representatives of Mountain Bell and Public Service
Company. Mr. Eitel stated that he did not know of any unfavorable re-
action to the proposal. The applicant hopes to begin construction this
spring. The development "will be the first of its kind in Englewood",
a high-rise luxury apartment use with subsurface parking.
Mrs. Henning asked if the sub-surface parking was on the same level as the alley? Mr.
Eitel stated that it is.
Mr. Carlson asked if there would be curb cuts for access from the alley, or if it would be
open? Mr. Eitel stated it would be open. Discussion followed.
Mrs. Henning asked how much "drop" there was from the surface parking level to the alley on
the west side of the property? Mr. Denning stated that it was a 9' vertical drop. Mr.
Eitel stated that parking spaces near this side of the surface structure would be 16'2"
spaces; there will be a 3' barrier above the surface parking level.
Mr. Brown asked that the audience be polled to see if there were members in relation to this
request. Mr. Lentsch did so. An unidentified lady asked if the Parks & Recreation Depart-
ment was aware of the request and the relocation of the City Ditch? Discussion followed.
Mrs. Henning pointed out that this particular property is made totally unusable by the City
Ditch in its natural course; the City would have to purchase the total property if it wanted
to keep the Ditch available for bicycle and pedestrian trails, and from an economic stand-
point, she questioned whether the City could acquire the property. Discussion ensued.
Henning moved:C
Carlson seconded: The Planning Commission approve the request for parking lot approval
filed by Lynnea Investment Company, Case #4-78, provided the applicant
meets all requirements for drainage, paving of the alley, requirements
of the Fire Department, and accomplish the relocation of the City Ditch
easement.
AYES: Vobejda; Brown; Carlson; Henning; Lentsch; Stanley
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Weist; Robins; Ross
The motion carried.
Page 1536
Mr. Supinger asked if the Commission was going to communicate with the Public Works Depart-
ment on the one-way designation of the alley. Mr. Eitel stated that the applicants would
appreciate any direction on that matter. Discussion followed.
Brown moved:
Vobejda seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the Cherokee-
Delaware alley in the 3600 block be designated one-way north.
AYES: Lentsch; Brown; Carlson; Henning; Vobejda; Stanley
NAYS: None

IX. JOSEPH BERENBAUM
Silverman, Butz, Edward Electric
SUBDIVISION WAIVER ,
1795 West Yale Avenue
CASE #6-73
Mr. Joseph Berenbaum stated he was appearing on behalf of Messrs. Silverman and Butz, and
Edward Electric Construction Company, property owners. Mr. Berenbaum stated that the re-
quest is for reconsideration of a subdivision waiver granted August 5, 1970. Mr. Berenbaum
stated he wished to commend the staff for preparing a detailed staff report on the matter;
it is very clearly set forth, and inasmuch as it has been available to the Commission f or
their perusal, he stated he would not go into the matter in depth. Mr. Berenbaum stated
that Edward Electric wants to add 25 ft. to their 120 ft. frontage to enable them to in-
crease their facilities.
Mrs. Henning asked why the 30' strip along the no~thern edge of the property was designated
as "Parcel A"? Mr. Berenbaum stated that this is a strip along the ditch that the City will
be purchasing for the drainage /greenbelt. The applicants felt that the best thing to do was
to designate it as "Parcel A" and designate their two remaining parcels as "Parcel B" and
"Parcel C". Mr. Supinger confirmed that this area is part of the Northwest Englewood drainage-
way/greenbelt program, and that the City will be pu~chasing the area. Mr. Supinger noted
that in the triangular area on the northwest portion of the property the City will purchase
only an "easement" through the land.
Vobejda moved:
Henning seconded: The Planning Commission ·approve the request for Subdivision Waiver, filed
by Mr. Joseph Berenbaum, Case No. 6-73, for property at 1795 West Yale
Avenue.
Discussion followed.

NAYS: None
ABSENT: Weist; Robins; Ross
The motion carried.
X, SWENSEN & PICKENS INVESTMENT
Astro-Tune Garage
4780 South Broadway
CASE #7-73
Mr. Supinger stated that the request of the applicant is for an "interpretation" of the Com-
prehensive Zoning Ordinance to permit a tuni-up and repair garage in the B-2 Zone District,
The use, as proposed, is not mentioned in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and therefore
is not permitted. The Planning Commission does have authority to say whether it is similar
to permitted uses, and would be permitted at the 4780 South Broadway address. Mr. Supinger
stated that the staff sees no objection to the request, provided all of the tune-up and re-
pair is done within an enclosed structure.
Mr. Lentsch asked for clarification; will this garage be doing body repair, etc.?
Mr. Howard Swensen stated that the Astro-Tune Garage is a nation-wide chain; there will be
no body or fender work done at this garage, and no heavy engine work done,
Mrs. Henning noted that the staff report cited an opinion of City Attorney Berareini, whereby
he has stated that action would not commit the Commission for all time, and the Commission .
would act on each request brought before them. If this use were to be approved, could any
firm that did this type of work locate in the City? Mr. Supinger stated that he interpreted
the City Attorney's statement to mean that this use is approved for this location; any other
use at another location would have to have specific ~approval of the Commission,
Mr. Lentsch asked about solvents, etc. used in the garage? Mr. Swensen stated that there
would be no materials used in the garage to increase fire hazard, Mr. Supinger interposed
that the use must meet requirements of all codes and ordinances applicable to the B-2 Zone
District.
Mrs. Henning asked if it was found that some of the repair and tune-up work was being done
out-of-doors, would this constitute a violation of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance? Mr.
Supinger stated that it would.
Mr. Lentsch asked how many cars could be worked on at one time, and where would additional
cars be parked? Mr. Swensen stated that the parking would be shared with the Midas Muffler
Shop at 4770 South Broadway; one access point to the parking area will serve both uses. There
will be four bays within the garage itself.
Mrs. Henning asked if gasoline pumps would be allowed? Mr. Supinger stated that the Ordinance
would permit such use.
Mr. Swensen stated that this is the third Astro-Tune garage in the Denver-metro area.

Mr. Brown asked if there has been much opposition to this r.equest? Mr. Lentsch noted that
there is no public notice given on a matter such as this. Mr. Swensen stated that he knows
of no opposition to this use; he feels it would complement the other service uses in the
area.
Vobejda moved:
Henning seconded: The Planning Commission approve the request of Astro-Tune Garage to be
located at 4780 South Broadway, as set forth in Case #7-73; this use is
to be conducted wholly within an enclosed structure.
AYES: Vobejda; Brown; Carlson; Stanley; Lentsch; Henning
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Ross; Robins; Weist
The motion carried.
XI. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE.
Mr. Supinger stated that the Action Forces Steering Committee has selected a consultant
for the Core Area Study; and that City Council has endorsed the recommendation and approved
a negotiating committee. The firm selected was Environmental Planning & Research of San
Francisco, and he felt that negotiations would begin by the end of the month. Mr. Supinger
stated that he hoped within another month there will be a consultant on the job.
Mr. Supinger reminded the Planning Commission that the second meeting in February .is on a
Wednesday evening, February 21st, and asked that they mark their calendars accordingly.
XII. COMMISSION'S CHOICE.
Mr. Lentsch noted that the Commission had received a thank-you note from Mrs. Romans for
the plant sent her when she suffered a fractured arm.
Mr. Brown stated that he would like to make a statement for the record, and emphasized that
this is his own personal opinion. Mr. Brown stated that he has heard public statements
that the Planning & Zoning Commission is against progress for the City; he has heard public
statements that the citizens of Northeast Englewood are against progress for the City. Mr.
Brown stated it is his personal opinion that the Planning Commission is not opposed to prog-
ress as a Commission, and that they have to listen to the citizens of Englewood and do what
is best for all concerned. Mr. Brown stated that it is his opinion that the citizens of
Northeast Englewood are not opposed to progress for the City of Englewood; it is his honest
opinion that all the citizens of that area are asking in relation to the Larwin Site is that
the density be lowered. Mr. Brown reiterated that they are not against progress.
The meeting was declared adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
