Mr. Manning
1540 West Tufts Avenue -stated that he had some questions on
the proposed R-1-C zoning; he asked
that any difference between the County R-1 zoning and the
Englewood R-1-C zoning be explained.
Mr. Supinger explained that there is no zoning on Mr. Manning's
property at the present time; the R-1-C zoning is the least
restrictive of the City's single-family zoning classifications;
the R-1-C requires a minimum 50 ft. frontage, 6,000 sq. ft.
lot area for a single-family residence.
Mr. Manning asked if he was correct in the assumption the
annexation was not official at this time? Mr. Lee stated
that the annexation was effective on the date the ordinance
was passed; there has been a challenge filed within the per-
mitted 45 day time period, but the statutes state that until
a court decision is rendered, the land is to be treated as a
part of the City of Englewood.
Mr. M~nning asked what the setback restrictions were between
an R-1-C piece of property and an I-1 piece of property? Mr.
Supinger stated that the setback is 10 ft. minimum; there are
provisions that a solid wood fence or block wall would be
constructed on the property line for screening purposes.
Mr. Martin asked if there was anyone else in the audience who
wished to speak in favor of the R-1-C zoning? No one indicated
they wanted to speak.
Mr. Martin asked that those persons in opposition to the R-1-C
zoning present their case.
Mr. Tom Eitel
4301 South Broadway -stated that he represented Mr. & Mrs.
Leon Mardesen, who own property at 1590
West Tufts Avenue; they reside at 6875 South Bellaire Way,
Englewood. Mr. Eitel stated that Mr. & Mrs. Mardesen own
property abutting Mr. Manning's property, and this property
is proposed as R-1-C. They have industrial zoning in the
County, and protest the change of zoning on their property.
Mr. Eitel noted that upon examination of the land and the
development in the area, it is of industrial character, and
should, as the staff report recommends, be zoned light industrial.
Mr. Eitel stated that the Commission would "be creating an
R-1-C island; it would stymie good industrial development and
growth in this area," and would deprive property owners of the
use of the land for future development. Mr. Eitel stated that
the property has been zoned I-1 in the County for a number of
years. Mr. Eitel noted that the County zoning did have a 50
ft. setback on industrial property abutting a residential
property; he stated that he felt this provision was unreasonable,
and has been modified .
Mr. Brown entered and took his place with the Commission.

Mr. Eitel stated that in changing zone classifications, one
looks at the change in character of the neighborhood; there
has not been a change in character of the subject neighborhood,
and to change the zoning classifications would be acting
contrary to sound zoning principles. Mr. Eitel stated that
the Mardesen's could not build houses on this property, they
could not get financing for such construction.
Mr. J. F. Moore
1515 West Thomas -stated that his company owns the property
to the south~ast of Mr. Mardesen's property.
Mr. Moore stated that the zoning on their property had been
changed from R-4 (Residential-Professional) to I-1 (Light
Industrial), several years ago. It was the concensus of the
Commission and City Council at that time that the area would
develop with industrial uses. Mr. Moore stated that a change
of zoning now would be contrary to the previous determination
of the Commission and City Council, and would make the land
less useable if some of the businesses should decide to expand.
Mr. Manning stated that his property has been zoned residential
since he purchased it 18 years ago. There was agricultural
zoning on the north side of Tufts at that time. Mr. Manning
stated that there is storage of forms for concrete, etc. on
the property owned by the Mardesen's; he stated that this is
not objectionable. Mr. Manning stated that "Mardesen can
maintain their present status, but leave us alone" •
Discussion followed. Mr. Eitel stated that under the pro-
visions of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Manning
would not have to move if his property were to be zoned
I-1, Light Industrial; he would be a legal non-conforming use.
Lentsch moved:
Wade seconded: The Public Hearing for Case #15-74 be closed.
AYES: Lentsch; Jorgenson; Jones; Brown; Wade; Tanguma; Smith;
Martin
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Weist
The motion carried.

Jorgenson seconded : The Public Hearing on Case #16-74 be opened.
AYES: Martin; Lentsch; Jorgenson; Jones; Brown; Wade; Tanguma;
Smith
NAYS: None

Mr. Martin asked that those persons in favor of the I-~ zoning
speak. No one indicated a desire to speak in favor of the
proposed l-1 zoning.
Mr. Martin then asked that those persons in opposition to the
proposed I-1 zoning speak.
Mr. William Myrick stated that he represented some of the
property owners on the west side of South Santa Fe Drive that
are within the annexed area. Mr. Myrick stated that the zoning
for the area had been I-2 in the County, but for a small strip
of business zoning fronting on South Santa Fe Drive. Mr. Myrick
reviewed the past discussions on zoning of this area since
annexation to the City on December 8, 1973. Mr. Myrick stated
he feels his clients are entitled to continue the l-2 use of
the property ; that by not granting I-2 zoning to those areas
proposed as I-1, the City is taking money out of his client's
pockets. Mr. Myrick referred to a map indicating the three
zone classifications which are proposed for the area, and noted
that the zone district boundaries "don't make any sense." He
stated that the "people didn't want to come into the City, and
now the City is saying you can't use the property any longer."
Mr. Myrick stated that the City is reducing the property values
of the area; he stated that controls could be placed on the
zoning that would not eliminate the businesses in the area.
Mr. Myrick stated that there isn't much ground in the metro area
that is zoned for I-2 development, and that such ground would
increase in value. Undesirable uses would be forced to move
because of economics. Mr. Myrick stated that he and his clients
feel the ground proposed for I-1 should be zoned I-2, that
there has been no good planning reason expressed by the staff
or the Commission that would justify the change of zoning to
I-1. Mr. Myrick stated that the I-3 Zone District which was
drafted, was "special legislation", and that the City just
added to the l-1 District "every complaint you received". Mr.
Myrick stated that the I-3 District was designed specifically
for property owners with auto wrecking yards; the only "proper
way to do it, was to amend the I-2 Zone District to allow auto
wrecking yards."
Discussion of the permitted uses of the l-1 Zone District vs.
I-2 Zone District ensued.
Mr. William Webster
910 Fifteenth Street -stated that he represented Mr. Walter
Soule, who owns property proposed for
I-1 Zoning. Mr. Webster stated that Mr. Soule owns the Union
Power Construction Company, which company builds high transmission
lines. The Company has over $1,000,000 worth of rolling stock.
Mr. Webster stated that Mr. Soule does a great deal of mechanical
work on the trucks used in the business --in one regard, it is
very similar to a salvage yard, in that pieces from one truck
are used on another, etc. Mr. Webster stated that if the property
is zoned I-1, his client will have to move.

Mrs. Wade asked Mr. Webster if his client's use would be all
right in an I-2 zoning? Mr. Webster stated that it would
have to be an I-3 zoning to accommodate his client's use in
full.
Mr. Martin asked if there was any one else who wished to
speak in opposition to the proposed I-1 Zone District?
Mr. Norman Sample
2900 West Tanforan -asked if consideration had been given to
the possibility that property owners in
the proposed I-3 District would want to purchase additional
land to expand their businesses? They would be surrounded by
I-1 zoning, and would not be able to do so. Mr. Sample urged
there be uniform zoning on the entire area to enable the
property owners to remain and to expand.
Mrs. Edna Carlton
6344 South Logan -stated that her property is proposed as I-1;
she would be surrounded by I-3 zoning. Mrs.
Carlton stated that she wanted heavy industrial zoning on her
property as she had "always had". Mrs. Carlton stated that she
had an opportunity to sell her property for a pre-stress concrete
manufacturing; however , this use is not permitted in the pro-
posed I-1 District. Mrs. Carlton stated that the proposed zoning
has cut the value of the property in half; she wants zoning
comparable to the County I-2 Zoning. Mrs. Carlton stated that
she has approximately 5 acres of land ; the assessor has raised
the tax valuation by $10,000 since the annexaticn to Englewood.
Mrs. Carlton stated that she has lost two buyers for her
property since the Englewood annexation~ and has been told
that the pre-stress concrete use is not permitted in the pro-
posed zone classificaticn; she stated that the annexation has
cost her money.
Discussion followed. Mr. Supinger stated that there would
have to be amendments to the I-2 Zoning to make it comparable
to the County I-2. Mrs. Carlton stated that if she could not
have "comparable" zoning on her land, she wanted the "best" that
Englewood could give her.
Mr. Lentsch asked how deep the commercial zone had been along
Santa Fe in the County? Mr. Supinger stated that he wasn't sure
of the exact depth, but it was probably 200 -250 feet .
Mr. Lentsch asked that persons in favor of the I-1 zoning
indicate so by raising their hand. No one raised their hand
in favor of the proposed I-1. Eight persons indicated opposition
to the proposed I-1 zoning .

V. SANTA FE -UNION ANNEXATION
County zoning to I-3.

CASE #17-74
Jones seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #17-74 be opened.
AYES: Tanguma; Smith; Martin ; Lentsch; Jorgenson; Jones; Brown;
Wade
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Weist
The motion carried.
Mr. Martin asked those persons in favor of the proposed I-3
Zone District to speak.
No one spoke in favor of the proposed I-3 Zone District .
Mr. Martin asked that those opposed to the I-3 Zone District
speak.
Mr. William Myrick stated that he was speaking "on both sides
of the coin on this matter." Mr. Myrick stated that he and
his clients were most appreciative of the I-3 Classification;
however, it is their feeling that the I-3 Zone District should
permit any use permitted in the I-2 Zone District rather than
any use permitted in the I-1 Zone District. Mr. Myrick pointed
out that the annexation area is adjoined on the north and
west boundaries by County I-2 zoning. He stated that he felt
there should be "constant" zoning throughout the entire area.
Mr. Myrick suggested that the Commission should zone the
area proposed as I-1 to I-2, and amend the I-3 Zone District
to permit any use permitted in the I-2 Zone District . .
Mr. Lentsch noted that Mr. Myrick was discussing an amendment
that the Commission could not make at this meeting; he asked
Mr. Myrick's desire on the zoning as it is proposed.
Mr. Myrick stated that the Commission should "impose the zoning
in existance, or don't put any zoning on it.·~ Mr. Myrick
stated that the Soule property should be zoned I-3 also. Mr.
Martin asked Mr. Myrick "are you satisfied with the I-3 Zone
District?" Mr. Myrick stated that it would not satisfy his
clients. The clients would prefer that no zoning be placed
on the property, and that the City amend the I-3 Zone District
to permit the uses permitted in the I-2 Zone District.

Mr. Martin inquired as to the status of the law suit protesting
the annexation? Mr. Myrick and Mr. Lee stated that there was
a Hearing on June 25th.
Discussion followed.
Mro Bruce Lassman stated that he represented a property owner
directly to the south of the annexation area. Mr. Lassman
reviewed previous discussions with the Commission on the matter
of the Santa Fe-Union annexation zoning, and stated that it
was the concensus of the property owners that the resources
available in the area warrant a percentage of the land being
zoned I-2. Mr. Lassman stated that his client has applied for
a change of zoning to permit a pre-stress concrete plant.
They will ask for I-2 zoning. Mr. Lassman stated that it is
his belief that the entire area is properly subject to I-2
zoning. He stated there were resources in the land which
can only be used in I-2 zoning. Mr. Lassman discussed the
channelization of the South Platte River; he stated that the
I-2 zoning would give property owners the opportunity to use
the land in uses that, even if they suffer flood damage, it
would not put the land owner out of business. Mr. Lassman
stated that the I-2 zoning would allow an industrial-park type
development; he stated that he felt a lot of property owners
in the area could forsee industrial park type development in
the area. Mr. Lassman stated that he felt this would be
compatible with the environmentalist's point of view .
Mr. Ray Koch stated that he moved to Arapahoe County from
Jefferson County because of "peaceful reasons" --Arapahoe
County allowed I-2 zoning and auto wrecking yards, Jefferson
County did not. He stated that he has a salvage yard and
storage on his property.
Mr. Edward White
2977 West Tanforan Drive-stated that he lived in the Centennial
Acres area; there are many children
in the area and he is concerned about more heavy industrial
zoning. He noted that trucks from Rockwell Concrete Company
use residential streets as short cuts, and he is fearful for
safety of children. Mr. White noted that there is a very nice
park in the area for the neighborhood children; he stated that
he would favor I-1 zoning, but not I-3.
Mr. Ross Clinger stated that he owned Rockwell Concrete Company.
He stated that he would put a stop to Rockwell Concrete trucks
using residential streets as short cuts. Mr. Clinger stated
that he was opposed to the I-3 Zone District as it is presented
at this time. Mr. Clinger stated that the best solution would
be to amend the present I-2 Zone District to allow those uses
permitted in the I-3 Zone District.
Mr. Martin asked that those in favor of the I-3 District indicate
so by raising their hand; no one indicated they favored the I-3
District. Twelve persons indicated opposition to the I-3 District.
•
•
•
Mr. Les Hunter stated that he owned Arapahoe Auto Salvage,
and wants the I-2 zoning .
-~-
Mr. Martin asked who would favor the existing I-2 zoning
amended to permit the auto salvage yards? Thirteen persons
indicated they would favor this suggestion; no one opposed the
suggestion.
Mr. Lassman asked why the staff or Commission proposed the
zoning as shown; he stated it was evident the property owners don't
want it zoned as proposed. Mr. Supinger stated that the
zoning as being considered at this meeting is not as the
Department of Community Development would recommend. Mr.
Supinger noted that the staff had recommended the entire area
for light industrial previously, and still stand by that
recommendation. However, the Commission determined that those
properties being used for auto wrecking and salvage should be
zoned I-3, with the remainder of the industrial area zoned
for Light Industrial; the residential area was to be zoned
R-1-C. Mr. Supinger stated that he would like to see a green
belt along the South Platte River for the use of all citizens
jurisdictions should jointly propose a bond issue to buy a park
strip along the river. Mr. Supinger noted that the South
Platte River has been a "dumping ground" and that it could be a
beautiful feature through the metro area. Mr. Lassman stated
that this is an industrial area; there are a lot of good
minerals in this area, and the land must be put to the best
use. He stated that to not put the land to the best use would
be imposing on the constitutional rights of the citizens.
Mr. Lentsch agreed that it was the Commission that determined
the boundaries of the proposed zone districts.
Mr. Supinger pointed out that when he discussed the green belt
along the South Platte River, it would be financed by a bond
issue, and would not be "just a strip designated along the
River". Mr. Supinger stated that it was never his intention
to imply that any one's land should be taken without due process
of law and just compensation. Mr. Supinger stated that where
it is possible to retrieve natural resources, he feels we should
do so. Mr. Supinger noted that the RTD studies have shown the
metro area development is in the wrong area; this adds to smog
and pollution in general. Discussion followed.
Lentsch moved:
Wade seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #17-74 be closed.

Discussion of the proposed R-1-C zoning followed. Mr. Martin
stated that he felt additional time and discussion among the
Commission was warranted. Mr. Brown stated that he would like
to explain his "no" vote on the previous motion; he stated he
realized the zoning as proposed is not right, and he did not
feel that justice could be done at this meeting, considering
the lateness of the hour.
Brown moved:

VI. MRS. ETHEL COOK CASE #14-74
4350 South Delaware Street
Mr. Martin stated that Mrs. Cook has a nursery school at her
residence, 4350 South Delaware Street; a nursery school is a
Conditional Use in the R-1-C Zone District, and must have
approval of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Supinger stated that everything appeared to be in order
for the Commission approval, and the staff so recommends.
I Mrs. Cook stated that her State license was for a "day care
home", and asked why it was called a nursery school in Englewood?
Mrs. Romans stated that the definition of a nursery school in /
the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance is care for four or more
children not related to the operator. Mrs. Cook stated that
she had no objection to getting permission from the Commiss1on
to run the day care center; she did object, however, to the way
it was brought before the Commission. Mrs. Cook stated that
Building Inspector Macrander informed her to remove a sign she
had posted advertising her day care service, and then reported
that she had a day care service in her home to the Planning
Division. Mrs. Cook stated she had gotten a State license,
and was unaware she had to get permission from the Planning
Commission to have a day care operation. Discussion followed.
Mr. Supinger stated that it was entirely proper for Mr. Macrander,
when a condition was called to his attention such as this
facility being operated without proper approval, to call it to
the attention of the Department. Discussion followed.
Mrs. Cook stated she understood from the Welfare Department
there were approximately 60 homes in Englewood doing day care
work; she asked if all of these homes had obtained permission
from the City? Mr. Martin stated that if the.City were able
to police this type of operation closer, more would be brought
before the Commission. He asked Mrs. Cook how many children
she was caring for at the present time? Mrs. Cook replied six .
Mr. Lentsch asked what size sign Mrs. Cook had been asked to
remove? Mrs. Cook stated it was approximately 18" x 18".
Mr. Supinger stated that a home occupation, such as the day
care center, is allowed a 10" x 10" sign, and it must be
affixed to the house.

followed.

Mr. Brown commended Mr. Supinger on his efforts.
X. COMMISSION'S CHOICE
Mr. Brown referred to the work session called to discuss the
zoning in the Santa Fe-Union Annexation are~, which date was
July 23, 1974. He stated that he felt this was too far away,
and that some discussion and action should be commenced before
that date, if possible. Discussion followed. It was deter-
mined that the work session for Santa Fe -Union Annexation
zoning was to be rescheduled for July 2, 1974.

Mr. Jorgenson inquired about the records kept at the damage-
appraisal business approved on Mrs. Bussard's property on
West Union? Mr. Martin stated that the Commission had asked
that a report be submitted to them by the Code Enforcement
Division. Mrs. Wade stated that no progress has been made on
screening the front of the use. Mr. Supinger stated that
such a report will be obtained for the Commission.
Assistant City Attorney Lee noted that the Commission had
requested a legal opinion from him at the last meeting on
whether or not the subdivision waiver granted to the Larwin
Corporation was "assignable ". Mr. Lee stated that the waiver
and conditions made a part of the waiver are assignable, and
the responsibility to meet those conditions will be conveyed
to anyone who purchases the land.
