Mrs. Romans was sworn in, and testified that she is the Assistant Director of Community Development in the Planning Division. Mrs. Romans stated that a petition requesting the annexation of the subject property in the 4600 block of South Mariposa Drive has been submitted to City Council, and the Planning Commission must recommend a zoning designation for this property to City Council for their consideration at such time as the property is annexed. Mrs. Romans designated the subject property on the west side of South Mariposa Drive, and noted that this is a triangular shaped piece of property, bordered on the west by the City Reservoir. The east side of South Mariposa Drive is developed with single-family structures, and is zoned R-1-A, Single-family Residence. Mrs. Romans submitted a copy of the certification of posting for the record, and asked that a copy of the staff report be made part of the permanent record of this Hearing. -2- Mrso Romans stated that the property is owned by Mr. and Mrso Wayne Oakley, and is presently zoned R-3, Single-family Resi- dence by Arapahoe Countyo This classification requires a minimum of 12,500 square feet of lot area for construction of a single-family house. Mrso Romans questioned that the re- quired minimum lot area is complied with by several of the single-family residential developments within this particular area in Arapahoe County, and noted that at least two of the properties have two detached single-family units on the in- dividual ownership. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff recommends the R-1-C, Single- family Zone District, designation for Mr. Oakley's property upon annexation to the City of Englewoodo The R-1-C Zone District requires a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet for a single- family residence, and the minimum floor area of any residence constructed is 850 square feet. It is felt that the R-1-C would be compatible with the development of the area. Mrs. Romans stated that there is another property on the west side of South Mariposa Drive, which property owner has petitioned for annexation to the City of Englewood; the staff will also propose the R-1-C, Single-family Residence, zone classification for that propertyo Mrs. Romans stated that the proposed zone classification of R-1-C has been discussed with Mr. Oakley, and that Mro Oakley has indicated that he intends to construct their home on the property and that the R-1-C designation will permit him to do so. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff feels the R-1-C Zone District designation will be compatible with the Comprehensive Plano No comments have been received from other City Depart- ments wh ich would be adverse to this proposalo Mrso Romans stated that the staff does recommend that this property be zoned R-1-C upon annexationo She noted that Mro Oakley was present if the Commission had any questionso Mro Draper asked if the Commission had any questions of Mrs. Romans.

Mr. Lathrop stated that he felt there should be some recommendation to City Council, a recommendation that is very clearly understood, regarding this matter .

Mr. Lathrop stated that the property should either be fenced or the junk and trash should be removed. Mrs. Romans pointed out that Mro Parker initially brought up this matter approximately two months ago. She stated that she did not know what the exact situation on this matter is at this point, but that she is aware that the Code Enforcement Division is building a record on this property, and that Mr. Lay has been given a notice to clean the premises. Discussion ensued. Mr. Lathrop stated that this situation is getting worse every day, and that it is an eyesore for those persons driving on South Broadwayo Further discussion ensued.
