Mrs. Romans stated that at the next meeting, August 19, the Com- mission will consider zoning of a small triangular parcel on the west side of the Park Floral property. Mrs. Romans gave Commission members a copy of a memo from City Attorney Olsen advising them regarding a lawsuit filed by the auto dealers in the City of Englewood. VI. COMMISSIONER'S CHOICE. Mr. Beier stated that he felt the Public Hearing on the Public Storage Planned Development was one of the best the Commission has had; he commended both the applicant and the staff for doing a good job on the presentation and report. Mr. Allen discussed the issue of trash collection. He expressed his disappointment at the determination of the City Council not to implement the program following two years of study by the Com- mission. He stated that he is of the opinion that the City is remiss in "ignoring" the problem, in that it will become a crisis and decisions made in a time of crisis are not always the best. Mr. Gourdin stated that the trash issue is a crisis, and noted that the DRCOG is getting involved. Mrs. Romans stated that city Manager Mccown has been appointed to the DRCOG task force on sol- id waste disposal. The City Council has asked Mr. Mccown to send the information to Chairman Carson and Mr. Allen in order that they can be kept apprised of the action of the Task Force. Dis- cussion ensued. It was suggested that a representative of the DRCOG be invited to address the Commission relative to the Task Force. The Commis- sion welcomed this suggestion, and requested Mrs. Romans to make the necessary arrangements. Mr. Gourdin made reference to copies of the newly amended B-2 Business Zone District and General Regulations, which were sent to Commission members for inclusion in their Comprehensive Zoning Ordinances. Mr. Gourdin cited several areas where he feels the language is not consistent and is unclear. Mrs. Romans pointed out that the restrictions contained in the General Regulations apply to all zone districts, and more restrictive provisions may -2 - • • • • • • be contained within a specific zone district, in which case the more restrictive provision will apply. Discussion ensued . Mrs. Romans asked that all Commission members make notations of suggestions they have in clarifying language in the Ordinance, or provisions they feel should be addressed. The staff is doing the same, and is preparing a list of suggested amendments to the or- dinance for the consideration of the Commission. Mr. Maunakea noted that there were four houses on South.Acoma Street that have not been demolished by Kaiser Permanente as yet, but they do need to be maintained to prevent vandalism until they are razed. Mr. Maunakea asked the progress on the proposed meeting with the owner of Home Lumber. Mrs. Romans stated that she has talked to Mr. Guetz, owner of Home Lumber, and he in turn has spoken to the owner of the Englewood Rental Company. They are not ready to meet with the Commission at this time, and would like to wait until they determine what is going to be done on the South Drive In Theatre property. Mr. Maunakea suggested the possibility of getting additional right-of-way along Dartmouth Avenue west of Broadway to develop an additional traffic lane; he felt this could assist in al- leviating the traffic congestion that will result from the Kaiser and Porter developments • Mr. Beier stated that there is a resident in the 3100 block of South Cherokee Street that has a sign posted for a "perpetual" yard sale. This yard sale has been going on for several weeks. Mrs. Romans stated that there is an Ordinance regulating yard sales, and asked if Mr. Beier could get a definite address for the staff in order that it can be checked out. Mr. Carson stated that he had spoken to the Chairman of the En- glewood Citizens Action Committee, and asked them to meet with the Commission members at the conclusion of the regular meeting. The record should show that no one has come to meet with the Commission. The meeting adjourned at 7:40 P.M. Gertrude G. Welty Recording Secretary -3 -
