Mrs. Romans reported on a meeting she had attended with Mr. Dial, Mr. Esch, and Mr. Wallace , concerning the Building Code and Housing Code. It was determined at this meeting that a committee will be appointed to review and revise the Building Code and to recommend a Housing Code for adoption. It was stated that the Housing Code could be retroactive. A list prepared by the Building Department of the registered uses in the 3700 , 3800 , 3900, and 4000 blocks of South Grant, South Logan, South Pennsylvania, South Pearl and South Washington was presented to the Commission. This list did not specify whether the uses were"non-conforming" or "illegal". Discussion ensued. Mr. Touchton noted he had received several inquiries in the past week on matters of enforcement. Further discussion followed; Mr. Hill suggested that Mr. Touchton and Mr. Carlson meet with the City Manager and City Attorney to further discuss the problem. Detailed discussion of the City Council policy of enforcement ensued. The Commission felt a meeting between the Planning Commission and the newly elected Council should be held to discuss various problems pertinent to the operation of the Department and enforcement of the Ordinance. E. Rezoning Fees. The Planning Director noted that the flat fee of $50.00 for a rezoning did not cover the cost of posting, publishing, or labor. Mrs .

The motion carried unanimously. F. Curb Cuts -4600 Block South Acoma. Mr. Touchton asked if any information had been obtained on the installation of two curb cuts on one property in the 4600 block of South Acoma? Mrs. Romans stated that the Engineering Department said the cuts met all restrictions as set forth in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and they had ·no reason to refuse the installation. No further discussion followed. G. I.C.R.P.C. A report on the annual dinner meeting of the ICRPC was given by Mr. Miles and Mr. Love, who were in attendance. D. (2) Enforcement.

The motion carried unanimously. REZONING R-1-C to R-2-B. Mr. Rice asked Mrs. Romans to give a summary of this particular case. CASE #11-63 Mrs. Romans stated Public Notice had been given in the Englewood Herald November 18 , 1963. The property has been posted .. The rezoning application and fee had been received by the Planning Office on September 18 , 1963. The application was made by Mr. and Mrs . Ira John, Mr. and Mrs. Noel Teter, and Mr. and Mrs. R. D. McFarland. It was pointed out that the proponents had requested the change to be made when the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was being adopted. The Commission felt they could not recommend such a change at that time, inasmuch as the change covered a large area, and had not been included on the Map which was published in the Englewood Herald . It was felt this area should be considered at a separate time. I I I
