Vandiver ~ owners o:f' Thoroughbred Datsun. 4651 South Broadway . Mrs. Roman& £i1ed with the Secretary a copy of the Affidavit of Publication on the Notice o:f' Hearing published in the Englewood Herald on June 1. 1972. ~tts. Romans stated that certification of posting bas been submitted to the Department o.f Community Deve1opment by Mr. Criswe11 ~ s office s-stating that the property was proper1y posted from May 29, 1972, to June 20. 1972. The required fee was paid at the time the app1ication was fi1ed. Mrs ..

Maples and Mr. Vandiver propose to relocate their Datsun dealership from 4651 South Broadway to this site . Mrs. Romans stated that the staff report. which shou1d be part of the record . was submitted to members of the P1anning Commission previous to the meetin g. and was avai1ab1e in time to afford review by the Commission members.. Mrs .. Romans noted that there is a great dea1 of information in the 0 ££1ce fi le s on this particu1ar area~ copies of which are avai1ab1e to the Commissi on . Mrs. Romans e xplained to the Commission and members of the audience that l\tr .. Supinger. Director of" Comm unity Devel...opment ,. and Mr .. Berardini .. City Attorney. are out of town.. She stated that Mr. George Lee, Assistant City Attorney , is attending the meeting in Mr. Berardini~s stead , and that she represents Mr. Supinger. In giv1 n g background for the case , Mrs. Romans stated that City records show that annexation o£ the area south of Be11eview a1ong Broadway was first dis - c ussed in 1957 ; Mayor Purce1 wrote a letter to Mr . Burt regarding the -1- • 0 • • • annexation of this area t:o the C.i..ty of Engl.ewood. Mrs. Romans stated there ~s no rurther action on the matter recorded until. 1963~ at which time the sta££ was requested to ~ather information ror dissemination to the residents and businessmen o.C the area . Mrs. Romans not:ed that this area was the sub- jec t o.C controversy between the cit1es o£ Engl.ewood and Littl.etoo . wherein it w as be1ieved by some L1ttl.eton o~ficia1s that an agreement was understood that. Eng1ewood wou1d not annex south or Be11ev:l..ew., and Littleton woul.d not annex north oL Be11eview . Mr. Rob.i..ns and Mr. Carl.son entered the meeting, and took their chairs with the members o£ the Comm1SS:l..on. Mrs. Romans stated that by March o1: 1964 , s1x resident 1and owners in the area west of Broadway had petitioned the City o£ Eng1ewood for annexation Lo the City. A£ter c onsiderab1e study, the P1anning Commission recommended to City Counc11 thaL the petitions Jor annexation be accepted in Apri1 of 1964 . The not1c of annexat1on pet1Lion was pub1isbed , and upon comp1etion of the requ1red procedure, the area was annexed to the City of Eng1ewood. At about the t1me the annexation was £1na1, the City o£ L1tt1eton, ~or some of the residenL land owners in the area, contested annexation of the area to the City o£ Eng1ewood. The City or Eng1ewood proceeded with the nec essary steps to app1y zon1n~ c1assif1cations to the a rea , and a Pub1ic H earing on the zon1ng was he1d ~n August~ 1964. Mee~ings were he1d between City of Eng1ewood of£icia1s and property owners in the area to determine the proper zon1ng for the area: the Fina1 Pub1ication o£ the Ord1nance app1y1ng Eng1ewood zoning 1assif1cations to the property was Nov e mber 10, 1964. A1so in Augus~. 1964. a court s uit was fi1ed before Judge Nau g1e cont esting the annexat1on to the City or Eng1ewood. The court suit fi1ed by the City of Litt1eton, and heard by Jud ge Naug1e. resu1ted in the determination that the annexa~1on was inva1id for the reason that Eng1ewood emp1oyees and o££ic1a1s passed pet1t1ons for annexation in the subject area. The City Attorney 1or the ity of Eng1ewood fi1ed pet ition with the C o1orado Supreme Court ask1ng that the City of Eng1ewood be g1ven jurisdiction over the area unti1 such t1me as the Supreme C ourt cou1d render a decision on the appea1 of Judge aug1e•s f1ndings. The motion for stay of execution was den1ed 1n February o£ 1965. and in March, 1965 , the City notified property owners . res1dents and businessmen that the City of Eng1ewood was withdrawing a11 services wh1ch had been instituted in the area. unti1 the Supreme Court cou1d hear and determine the appea1 to Jud ge Naug1e • s r ·u1ing .. The area was returned to the jurisd1ct1on of Arapahoe C ounty . During the t1me the 1and was returned to Arapahoe County ~urisdiction. a request was subm1tted to the Arapahoe County Commissioners asking that the zone c1ass1fication on the southwest corner o f South Broadway and West B e11e v1ew Avenue be change d to commercia1 to permit the construction oL a K-Mart Store .. The County Commissio n ers approved the requested re:zon1 n g over the protests o£ the Ci ties of Eng1ewood and Litt1eton; however, an SO Coot strip o£ 0 O pen zoning was i mposed on the west portion of the K-Ma rt p rop rty to protect the reside nt in1 dove1opment to the ~est. This rezoning approved by the County exte nded into the area previously zoned R-3-B (Mu1ti - i 'am1l.Y Resident1a1) by the City o f Eng1ewood. The Supreme Court o£ Co1orado 1ater uphe1d the annexation o£ the 1and to the City or Eng1ewood. Englewood was now p1aced 1n the position of having to rezone that property on which the K-Mart Store had begun , 1nasmucb as Arapahoe County had issued bui1ding perm1ts ~or foundation and footings £or the K-Mart Store. and the City of Eng1ewood was advised that they s hou1d honor these permits . The City of Eng1ewood. in 1966 ., rezoned Lots 1~ 2. and 3, Ewing Subd1vision. and Lot 16 , ~nterurban Addition , 1rom R-3-B to B-2 in order that the K-Mart Store wou1d be in conforming Zone Districts. The west 50 ~eet of the 1and zoned 0 (Open) by the County was designated as R-4 (Res1dentia1 -Professiona1) by the City o1 Eng1ewood ; the C1ty did not have an 0 Open Zone C 1assi ficati on, and it was fe1t that the 50 foot strip or R-4 ~ou1d provide adequate buffer between the commercia1 on the east and resident1a1 deve1opment to the west • Mrs . Romans then showed severa1 maps o f the area and zoning that was in errect at the time of annexation; comparab1e Eng1ewood zoning; zoning pro- -2- • • • • r 32xl - • • • posed by the C1ty o£ Eng1ewood : Cou nty zoning while annexation was in court and under the jurisdiction of Arapahoe County; and zoning by the City of Eng1ewood after th e annexat1on was uphe1d by the Colorado Supreme Co urt . This 1ast map showed the zoning as it is today, ref1ecting the changes made by the C1ty after 1t was advised that zoning approved in Arapahoe C ounty must b e honored ,. and the City had extended the B-2 zoning west to encompass the K-tart Store, and the 50 ft . strip o£ R -4 was imposed as a buffer be- tween the commercia1 and rou1t1-fami1y districts. Mrs . Romans reviewed the C 1ty position on rezoning requests in the adjacent area: The former Tho-mpson property to the north o1 Belleview Avenue ,. at approximately 325 West Be11ev1ew, has been considered ~or rezoning on severa1 occas~ons . There has been considerable opposition from the adjacent property owners, and on ~ebruary 9, 1961, a request to rezone the property .Cram R-1-B (Sing1e-fant1ly) to R-3-A (Mu1ti-Lami1y) was denied; on February 14, 1962, a request to rezone the property from R-1-B (Sing1e-rami1y) to R-3-B (Mu1ti -£am i1y) was den1ed; in 1963, an application requesting rezoning from R-1-B (S1ng1e-.Cam~ly) to R-2-A (Two-fami1y) was approved. In 1969, a request for rezon1ng rrom R-2-A (Two-:fam:L1y ) to R-3-B (Mu1ti-fami1y) was denied : again, the request was strongly opposed by persons in the area . Th e City has a1so taken o:ff1cia1 opposition to rezoning requests fi1ed on property on the south side o£ Be11ev1ew Avenue wh1ch is in tbe City of Littleton. One request was f1led in 1966 by Mr . Lin1nger, property owner to the west of the Englewood C1ty boundary, who wanted commercial zoning. This request was opposed on the basis of concern that a strip commercial development would be started along West Be11evi ew Avenue. In 1969, a request by a property owner to tbe west of Mr. L ininger·s property for mu1ti- fam11y zon1og was subm1t~ed to the City of Eng1ewood for consideration and rev1ew. and the C1ty a gain expressed concern over the e£fect such a develop- ment would have on the t ra£fic on West Be11eview Avenue in the v1cinity o~ South Huron Street: the C1ty did not oppose the zon1ng per se, however . Mrs. Romans po.1.o'ted out that there has been considerable development of tbe R-3 property to the north io Carme 1 Park and in the B-2 Zone District a1ong Broadway . Mrs . Roma ns discussed the Ambulance Service, located 1mmediately west of the property encompassed 1n the rezoning request to be considered this eveo.1.ng. She stated that there is a letter in the Office files from the attorney represent1ng the owner of the Ambulance Serv~ce in 1962 ~ which letter was directed to the County C ommiss1oners of Arapahoe County_ This use was permitted in the County R-5 (Mu1ti-fami1y)zoning, and was permitted at .1.ts present 1ocat1on ... Mrs. Romans stated that the Fire Station located at West Belleview and South Fox in Eng1ewood is a public building, and is permittee! J.-n any zone d1strict.. The Red Cross bui.1ding at West Belleview Avenue and South Elat1 Street was 1nterpreted to be a public use, also. by :Carmer Ch .1.et-Build~ug Inspector Beryl Wa11ace, and was 7 therefore . permitted in the R -1-A (S1ng1e-fami1y) zone district. Mrs . Roman s stated 'that several articles from publications and books point~ng out problems w1th strip zoning have been c opied and were g1ven to members o£ the Comm1ssion £or their information. Mrs . Romans stated that she felt: the Commission must:. 1ook at the tota1 amount o£ 1and zoned £or c o~ercia1 use in Uhe City o£ Eng1e-ood at t:he present: time* and cons~der how much of that commercia11y zoned land is 10 fact used commerc1a11y. Irs . Romans urged that the Commission cons1der the en- t~re area in mak1n~ their dec~s1on on the request_ Mrs . Romans submitted the sta:f.J: recommendat1on, which is as fo11ows: ""The sta.Cf reconunends tha·t the application to rezone a11 of B1ock 6. lnt.erurban Addi.tion, except the west 75 feet thereof, from R -3 -B (Mu1ti - £am11Y R esident1a1) to B-2 (Business) be denied for the fo11owing reasons: 1 ~ The extens~on o£ the commerci al zoning as proposed would not be compatible with the existing s1ng1e-Lami1y uses in the areas to the north and west of the subject site • -3- • • • • r • • • 2 .

Mr. Loser poi..nted out that t.he K-Mart request did complete a three block area; this request~ on the other hand , would not meet the criteria of one :Cu11 b1ock as set by the P1anning Commission and City Counci1. Mr. Loser stated that the City had imposed a ··bur "fer zone·• between the commercia1 and residential when the 50 ft. strip o:C R-4 zoning was approved ; now, for no reason but to e nab1e a businessman to remain within the city limits, the City is being asked to exte nd the commercia1 zoning. The approva1 o£ the request wou1d vio1ate the buffer placed on the west side of the K -Mart property by the City.. Mr. Loser emphasized that there have been no materia1 changes to justify the approva1 o£ the request. Mr. Ross asked if Mr. Loser wou1d comment as to whether the subject site is ''locked in'' because it is between two commercia1 uses? Mr. Loser stated that be "wouldn 't s ay so." M.r .. Loser pointed out that there is a 6• to 8' high bank between the K-Mart property and the sub~ect property. H e also pointed out that the R -3 -B zoned area across the street has developed within the past year. Mr. Ross stated that the a.m.bulance service is a commercial use . Mr. Loser stated that the ambulance service is a non- conforming use in the R-3-B Zone District and cannot be ex panded or changed, and that residents 1iving next to this ambulance serv ice do not find it obnoxious . Mr . Ro ss asked i1." Mr. Loser £e1t this request, i-r gra nted, would be "specia1 zoning·• in view of the .fact there is c ommercial next to it? Mr. Loser stated that h e fe1t it would be. Mr. Loser stated that the ambulance serv ice is being operated out of a residence, and this is not a true commercia1 use joining the subject property. Mr. Louis Ca n gi11a 5000 S. Delaware -stated he 1ived one b1ock north o~ the subject property. tr . Cangi11a stated that the Crouch Ch rysler-Plymouth agency is located at Broadway and Be11eview 1 on the north sid e o f Belleview, and that residents living £our blocks away to the west can hear the loud- speakers used by this agency; further , mechanics use Grand Avenue as a raceway roadtesting cars at excessi v e speeds. Mr. Ca ng i 11a stated that his residence isn't as close to the property under consideration for re- zoning, a s some other residents, but he is sti11 opposed to it. He pointed out that if approved, the reside nt s wi11 have l.oudspeakers bl.aring from two sides. Mr. Roy H a nkl.e 5050 S . De1aware -stated th a t the ambul ance service was direct1y down the st r eet from him, but that '"if you don•t l.ook very hard, you ca n't determine it's s uch a service··.. When the am.bul.ance does go out ·-·it • s just 1i k.e the :fire truck 1 e avi.ng the station ••, and the residents it: the area do not consider the ambul.ance service as a commercial. use. Mr. Lentsch asked if the proponents woul.d 1ike to m.ake a rebuttal.? Mr. Cri.swe1 1 stated that he disputed that: a '"threat" had been made that the dealership would move out of the city unl.ess the zoning were approved. Mr. Criswell stated that this was a fact of the request that no other property had been found t o be satisfactory, but: be didn"t fee1 it should be regarded as a '"threat·•. Mr . Criswe11 pointed out that the City has vio1ated the requirement that a rezoning must complete a fu11 city bl.ock on other occasions, notably portions o~ t:he 4000 and 4100 bl.ocks of South Bannock Street. Mr. Criswe 11 discussed the matter of increased traffic as a justi~icati on £or rezoning, and mentioned the KLZ Site as an instance. Mr.Cri.swe11 stated that the app1i.cant•s are not saying that the present zoning is denying t:he property owner use of his land. Mr. C riswe11 stated that they ··are saying that good z on ing practice woul.d justiry the Planning Commission recommending extension o:f B-2 Zonin g to this property·•. Mr. R1chard Ducker 5090 S. De1aware -stated his residence was on the corner o f South Del.aware Street: a nd West Be11eview Avenue, and i.s directly across from the proposed ca r sa l es 1ot . He stated that he wished to make severa1 points that have no t been brought out: -1.3- • • I' - • • • 1. The difference between the fire station and the ambu1ance serv~ce is neg1igib1e as £ar as 1and use~ and he didn•t think they had a great a££ect on ~he area. 2. The K-Mart Store is oriented to Broadway. even though there is access :from Be11eview Avenue. He stated that the proposed dea1ership wou1d be the first commercia1 use that wi11 be facing direct1y on Be11eview Avenue. 3. He fe1t the traffic on Be11eview was a major prob1em. and tbe dea1er- ship 1ocated on Be11eview with the traffic ge nerated by such a use won•t decrease the traffic prob1em. He stated that if the City was concerned about preserving the integrity of the Comprehensive P1an, increasing traffic isn•t going to protect the R -1-A Sing1e-fami1y Residentia1 area. 4. The Comprehensive Pl.an of Engl.ewood has been approved, in 1969, shows no commercial. use in the vicinity o£ the subject property. He stated that he £e1t the Pl.an sbou1d be de£ended. 5. The proponents have presented their case based on the monetary bene£it that wi11 accrue to the City i£ the request is approved, yet Mr. Criswe11 has stated that the mi11 1.evy is the 1owest in the state.

The area encompassed in the app1ication is bounded on the north by the centerline of East Amherst Avenue~ the center1:1.ne or the L:J..nco1n /Sherman a11ey, the centerline of East Bates Avenue~ and the center1ine o£ the Sherman/Grant a11ey. The present zoning o£ th~s b1oc k is R-2-A~ a two-~ami1y c1assif1cation~ which requires a minimum of 75 ft. frontage and 9~000 sq. ft. 1ot area ~or a two-1ami.1y use. Thi.s zone d~strict wi.11 perm:J..t a sing1e-:fami1y use on 50 £t . frontage~ 6~000 sq. rt. 1ot area. Mrs. Romans stated the request was :Cor a cha n ge to an R-2-B Zone District~ wh:J..ch zone c1assif:J..cation permits a sing1e-fami1y or two-fami1y use on 50 ft . frontage~ 6~000 sq . Ct. 1ot area. lrs. Romans stated that the Comm:J..ssion has rece1ved a staff report on this app1ication. which report shou1d be made a part of the record. Mrs . Romans noted that the P1anning Comm1ssi on recommended and the City C oun ci1 approved. an amendment to the R-2-B District some few months ago~ by wbicb deve1opment 10 the R-2-B District was g ranted f 1exibi1ity. The base £rootage and 1ot area 1S the 50 ft. frontage. 6.000 sq. ft. 1ot area; but. for each add1~1ona1 25 :Ct. frontage. 3000 sq. ft . 1ot area. an additiona1 unit may b e constructed . A11 un1ts must be under one roof. This gives the deve1oper who wants to bu:J..1d a tri-p1ex on 75 feet the approva1 to do so. Be:Core the D1stric t was amended. tri-p1exes and four-p1exes were not per- m:J..tted . There 1S a maximum of 14 units per acre in the amended R-2-B District. Mrs .. Romans stated that Mr .

Th1s b1ock has been zoned R-2 -A since 1..955. Mrs. Romans noted there appears to be no possibi1ity of deve1oping this b1ock as R-2-A (Two-fami1y us on 75ft . frontage): since most of the ownerships (14 out of 20) are 50 ft. ownerships ~ and it wou1d necessitate the purchase of two separate o~ne rs hips to construct one dup1ex . Tbis is not economica11y .Ceasib1e. Mrs . Romans stated that Mr. Dryden is interested in deve1oping the 50 ft. o.C h1s property which is vacant. but cannot construct a dup1ex on 50 ft.. Mr .

Mr. Graham stated that the peop1e are concerned: they don~t feel the change 'l..S needed at thl..S ti.me . Mr. Graham expressed the thought that when Mr. Dryden bought the property he knew what the zone classification was, and what deve1opment was permLtLed under that particular c1assification. Mr. Graham staLed that there are a .Cew non-res~dent owners now, and the owner- occupants want to keep the b1ock basically owner-occupied. Mrs. Henning asked Mr . Graham to address h1mse1f to why the opponents are oppos1ng a change from 75 ft. rrontage to SO ft . frontage, when the per- m~tted uses wou1d be the same. Mr. Graham s~ated that the opponents don•t want Lhat many more dup1exes coming in that rapid1y. They fee1 the required 75 ft. frontage perm1ts mor e open s pac e; there is now some problem with parking and the re:s1dents don"t want a.c.y additi.ona1 parking probl.ems to be created.

Keith Dryden stated that he fe1t much or the opposition in the b1ock to his request was because there 1s one dup1ex owned by a person who 1ives out o£ town, out of the state in ~act, and there have been prob1ems with tenants in this duplex. Mr . Dryden stated that he has so1d his home in the 3000 b1ock South Pear1, which he had bui1t about 18 years ago.

Tay 1 or Atc.o rney at Law 709 w_ L~ttl.eton Boul.evard Littl.eton, Col.orado 801.20 Dear Mr. TayLor:. .June 15. 1.972 This is in repLy co your 1etter o£ June 9 requesting certain info~ation about fir e hazards in pecro1eum dryc1eaning pLanes. 1 encl.ose herew~th two publ.ications of the National. Fire Protection Association which wil.l. answer some of your questions as wel.l. as give you a l.ot of additional. background i.nfol:Ulati.on and sc.aei.sc.i..cs on fire hazards i.n l.aundries and drycl.cani.ng pl.anta. The NFPA bul.l.eti.n number 32 i.s the l.ast copy we have, but under the c~rcumacances. I decided co send it eo you anyway because a new addition of chis sbou1d come out any week now. If you have any questions concerning the conditions covered ~n bu11et~n 32. you might phone this organization direct4y and find out if there has b e en any change in the revised buLLetin they are about co issue . Some of the statisticaL questions ~hat you had are probabLy covered to some ex~ent by the tabLes on page 11 of the other pub1~cat~on. X wi11 now take up your specific questions one by one. 1. There is no re1ative safety £aetor in the use of Stoddard so1vent and perch1orethy1ene because perch1orethy1ene is not f1ammab1e. The safety £actor as far as perch1orethy1ene is concerned is one of toxicity. 2. We consider the fire hazard from Stoddard so1vent to be quite minor . With proper operation of a Stoddard so1vent p1ant. there is 1itt1e danger of a fire. It has been our experience that most f~res ~ Stoddard so1vent p4ancs are caused by fa~1ure o£ the operator to c~c=~ cue ~h~ 1~nt trap in the tumbLer or tokeep the exhaust duct free o£ Lint. Anything chat interferes w1th the air £Low wi11 proLong the drying time and Lncrease the so1vent vapor concentration in che air. In no~1 operntLon of a Stoddard so1vent tumb1er. the air f1ow is so high that an exp1osive mLxture in the tumbLer is never reached. In other words. a spark in the tumb1er wi11 not ignite the vapor so 1ong as the air £1ow is maint~ined at the proper 1eve1. There is no comparison in my mind between the hazards in a £i11ing station and SU C::C f -, ·C'O I ~ T O TH E A.r..r.l o:nc ·.-...; f l 'ST t I"" J, • O f-LAUN C>l. •··· L•unc:lry Dlvl•h~n P .O .

Tay1or -2-June 1.5.., 1.972 ~n a dryc1eanLng p1ane. Gaso1ine has a £1ash point of minus S0°F. whereas norma1 Stoddard has a £1ash point of 100°F. This is a difference of 150°. What this means is that a spark wi11 ignite the vapor over gaso1ine down co a temperature of minus 50°F. On the other hand. unti1 the ambient temperature L& higher than 100°F •• a spark wi11 not ignite Stoddard solvent. There are special building codes and requirements for Stoddard solvent equipment in most states that ca11 for explosion-proof equipment. exp1osion-proof electric switches, etc. These are extra safety pre~autions that I do not believe are present in gasoline £i11ing stations . I be1ieve that your major safety factor in gaso1ine hand1ing is t hat everything is genera11y outdoors Where the air movement is such chat an exp1osive mixture is rare1y reached even when gaao1ine is spi11ed on the concrete. We have a1ways objected to what ve ca1..1 a doub1e standard where St:od.dard dryc1eaning p1a.nts and f:i.11i.ng stations are concerned. We feel.. that Stoddard dryc1ean~ng p1ants are unfair1y di.scr~:i.nated against re1at:i.ve co fi11:i.ng stations . The probab1e reason for this di.scri.minacion La that fi.11i.ng stations are considered a necessity and dryc1eani.ng p1ants a 1uxury. In other words~ chc attitude is. who needs a petro1eum dryc1eaning p1ant Ln the neighborhood~ whereas everybody needs fi.11ing stations. We feel.. that insurance companies and 1oca1 £i.re marsha11s have been very strong advocates of d~cl..eaners converting to perch1orethy1ene. a more expensive so1vent by a conai.derabl..e factor. 1n addition to the regu1ar Stoddard so1venc. we have deve1oped i.n our industry a much safer so1venc. whi.ch is ca11ed "140-F So1ven.t••. Thi.s sol.. vent has a £1ash point of 140cr. and therefore is very safe. Speci.a1 exp1osion-proo£ motors and switches are not no~11y required Ln p1an.ts usLng thi.s parti.cu1ar so1vent. 3. Yes. there i.s a trend i.n favor of perch1orethy1ene as a so1vent ~n che dryc1eani.ng industry~ but there are some factors chat make this an undesirab1e trend. Th~s trend i.s not due to any superiority of the perch1orethy1ene or even any l..ess prob1ems in hand1i.ng it. Perch1orethy1ene :i.s a much more active so1vent than ~s Stoddard so1vent and i.t w111 damage many text:i1e £abric& and dyes which are qui.te sa£e1y hand1ed in Stoddard so1vent. For this reason every community needs at 1easc one Stodda:d p1ant who can hand1e prob1em texti.1es for the other dryc1eaners who are u sing perch1orethy1ene. There are many types of texti1e fabrics that c1eaners do not dare put i.nto perch1orethy1ene. 4. I be1ieve that thia queati.on is adequate1y anewered by the NFPA boo~La~ enc1osed.

Ross moved: Robins seconded: The Publ..ic Hearing be opened. The motion carried .. Mr .. Lentsch asked the staff: to present the backgJ~ound of this request. Mrs . Romans stated that information Lrom the Denver and Hospital..s was received by the office on June s. in£ormation have been given Commission members this Department of Heal.th 1..972; copies of this evening. Mrs. Romans stated that notice of t:he Publ.ic Hearing was publ..ished in the Engl.ewood Hcral.d on ltay 18. 1972. Mrs. Romans then discussed the research done by the s taff: on the matter of the fl..ammabl.e Stoddard Sol..vent versus the non-fl.ammabl.e Perchl..oroethyl..ene cl..eaning fl..uid.. Mrs . Romans stated that the cities oi Denver and Litt:l..eton. under the~r zon~ng codes. do not permit new dry cl.eanin~ establishments using f1ammab1e l.i.quids. Arvada. Aurora. Boul.der and Lakewood do not specifical..l.y prohibit: the use of f1amma - b1e 1iquids in dry cleaning estab1ishment.s ., and Bou1c...i4::!'L" do~:s atten1pt to ..discourage .. these uses. Mrs ..

Mr. Crowe did state that: i£ used proper1yy there may b e no danger with either subst:ancey but that i£ there shou1 d b e a 1 e ak in the equipment: he fe1t: the da n ger to the emp1oyee £rom £i re wou1d be g reater with the Stoddard So1vent: than or ~um es w ith the Perc h1oroethy1ene. According to the Uniform Bui1ding Code, dry cleaning es tab1ishments using £1ammab1e 1iqu1ds are an E -2 Oc cupancy, p ermitted in Fire Zone 1 and 2. The B-2 Zone District is in Fire Zone 2. Th e maximum 1:1oor area is 1imited in Fire Zones 1 and 2. If the size of the bui1diog exceeds 1,500 sq . ft •• the bui1ding must: be sprink1ered . There are requirements that must be met on the fire resistance of the w a11s of such structures housing uses such as a dry c1ea ning estab1ishme nt using £1a~nb1e 1iquid. Mrs. Ro~an s stated that: s he had contacted insuranc companies a nd the Ins pection Bureau: the rates are higher for a use that has a £1a~ab1e 1iquid u sed in their proc ess: the rates are a1so hi ghe r for structures adjacent to the i nitia1 use. There a re many factors invo1ved i n determining the i nsu ra nce such as 1ocatio n. type of bui1d ing. eLc . Chemica1 companies were c ontacted . It was 1earned that: the Stoddard So1vent is considerab1y more inexpensive than the Perch1oroet:hy1ene. Mrs . Romans stated that at the Uay 2, 1972, meeting. the dry c1eaning estab1ishment u si n g f1ammab1e 1iquid was compared to a fi11ing station, and it was questioned why one use wou1d be perm1tt:ed in a B -2 Zone District:, a n d the other wou1d not . a.trs. Romans noted that fi11ing s tations are a Group F O ccupancy. and are not: considered to be the hazard that the dry c1eaning estab1ishment u si n g f1ammab1e 1iqu.id wou1d be. She noted that: the service station bas the f 1ammab1e 1iquid stored underground. out -o f - doors. and the storage tanks must meet UL standards. Mrs. Romans stated that there are two c1eaning estab1ishments in the City of Eng1ewood using the f1am.m.ab1e 1i..quid: Quincy C1eaners, owned by Mr. R oberts, the app1icant; and Koit C1eaners. which is 1ocat:ed in an industria1 di s trict . Mrs . Roman s stated that the staff, after considering the information avai1- ab1e. has recommended that the Comprehensive Zoning Ora1nance not be am ended to permit dry c1ea ning estab1ishmen t s using f1ammab1e 1iquids in the B -2 Zone District. Chairman Lentsch asked Chief Hami1ton if he wished to add to the background given by Mrs. Romans? Chief Hami1ton stated that Captain Hart1ey has re- searched the prob1em. and asked Captain Hart1ey to present the information . Captain Hart1ey stated that he had checked with the 1oca1 Fire Departments to dete rmi n e their re st rictions on f1ammab1e 1iquids used in dry c1eaning est.ab1ishm nts . He reported "l:hat Denver and Aurora prohibi t nev.-C1ass II estab1ishmen ts; Bou1der .. di s courages•• new C1ass I I uses • and the City o£ Litt1eton does not have any such u ses to their know1 e d ge • Mr. Lentsch a s k e d the proponents to present their case .

Tay1or dis - c ussed the sec tion o f the star£ report e ntit.1ed: In~ormation Obt:a1ned •rom O ther Sou r ces by the Sta£:£. and noted that the re strictions i.n ~he fire and bui1din g codes are not set forth for co nsid erati on . Mr . Tay1or stated that -2- • • r - • • • be £e1t the information was incomplete and inco n c1usive . ~lr. Tay1or stated that the app11cant s have not been g iven an oppor~unity to review the material r eceived by the star~ irorn the Denver Departme n t or Hea1th and Hospitals, and that they would appreciate such a n opportunity. ~1r. Tay1or stated that he fe 1t the mntter of increa s ed insurance rates o n the su bject property owner was the concer n o£ the property owner . Mr. Taylor took issue with the stateme nt on Pa ge 6 of the Stai f R e port, paragraph 2: ··aecause the Stoddard is so mu h cheape r the owner or operator does no"t:. have to be quite as care.fu1 in rec1aiming the u se d :C 1ui.d .'• Mr. Tay1or stated that the gentlema n at Quincy C 1 ea n ers has an ·~enclosed system''• and stated that he fe11:. it was incorrect to assume that: operators o~ estab- 1ishments using the Stoddard Sol'"·ent w ould be more ··c areless because its 1ess e xpensi v e··. :\lr. Taylor stated that h e fu rth er felt the argume nt that other dry clea n i n g establishments might change over to the Stoddard System and cause a h azard because or the co n s tru ction o~ the building and e quip- ment was inval i d. ~r . Ta y lor noted that the staff report states that static ele ctricity and friction can ignite the Stoddard Solvent: he stated that no statistics were set forth, and asked if this possibi lity was more d angerous than the possibility of poisoning by Perch1oroethy1ene. Mr. Taylor stated that be had received the sta££ report Monday, and had on1y a day or two for revie w; he stated "that the staff has done a good job of research and has g athered a 1ot of £acts; however, he does not fee 1 that the mater i al contained within the staf£ report su p p orts the conclusion r eco mmended by the staff. ~lr. Taylor asked tbe Commission to recom_mend t h at the Comprehensive Zon~n g Ordinance be amended to permit dry cleaning e stab1ishments using .flammable liquids in the B -2 Zone Dist:rict. Mr. Len tsch stated that whi1e :\lr . Tay1or had mentioned the ·•1ega1•• points --that the exc1usion of f1a~ab1e l.iquids £or use by dry cl.eaning estab1ish - m e n ts was prejudicial and discrim~natory --be had n ot spoken to the matter o f pu b1ic hea1th, safety a n d we1fare as wou 1d b e affected by the approv al o f t h e r e qu est . M r . Tay1or stated that it is the app1icant•s p osition that the restrictions f rom a 1ega1 standpoint are prejudicial. and discriminatory. and are not r elated to the pub1ic hea1th, safety and welfare. M r. Lentsch asked if tr. Tayl.or had info rmation on the n umber of persons poiso ned by the fumes of Perch1oroethy1ene in the l.ast yea r ? Mr . Tayl.o r stated he did not have such information. Mr. Tayl.or stated that if the a ppl.icant was ··opposing·• the use of Perch1o roethy1ene, they wou 1d have t h e in~ormati o n, but the appl.icant is n ot opposing the use of thnt particular s o l.ve n t. They are asking that the S~o ddard S o l.vent be approved for those businessmen who wish ~o use it in their dry cl.eaning estab1ish:ments. Dis- c u ssion fo11owed. ~lr . Ross asked ~Jr. Tayl.o r to su.nunarize his p oi n ts on the 1 ega1 aspect of the matter . ~lr . Tay1or stated that his arguntents were io t h e area of constitutional 1aw . whereby discrimination between peop1e and things is constitutiona11y 1awfu1 if there is valid basis in logic and reason of such discrimination. Mr. Tay1or stated he did not: feel. that there was a valid b3 sis o£ reasoning for the discrimination between the fi11ing stations. s pray paint booths. and the use of the Stoddard Sol.vent by c1eaoing establ.ish~e nt s in the B-2 Zone District. Further discussion f o11owed. Mr. Ross s~a"t:ed ~hat he dido~~ £ee1 a Lechn~ca1 po~uL oL v~~w o~ the rea1 d~£ference bet wee n the two types o£ systems has been set £ortb; be a s ked i-£ Mr. Roberts, the appl.icant, c.ou1d give the Commission this information. li e asked ·•""'hat are the chances of 1 i.quid escaping?"" He a s lccd i£ the Stoddard So1vent was h e ated in the c1eaning process to remove the vapors :Cram the c1eaning? ~tr. Roberts stated that both systems were en- c1osed as far as escape of -£u.mes £rom either. He stated that they were contro11 ed to the extent that Perch1oroet:hyl.ene is recl.aimed £rom the atmos phere, and the recl.aim er is d esigned to change the fumes back to 1iquid -£orm by disti11ation. :\Jr. Roberts stated that: the :Cum.es £rom the Stoddard So1vcnt can be di s ti11ed and rec1.aimed , but must be in a ••vac u um stiJ.J.•• . Mr. Ross a s ked when a person woul.d be exposed to the fumes if b-c.th systems arc enc1osed? ~1r . Roberts st :1.ted that a person coul.d be exposed to the fumes ·•whe n you have the door open when you change the l.oads; cl.othes are extract ed at very high speeds and put in the tumb1er. •• I n a dry -to -dry sy s tem, the cl.othes come out dry and odor free; it is no t n ecessary to -3 - • • • • r 32x • • change the c1othes into a tumbler from the cleaning machine, as it is ~~th the ··v..et v..hee1·· system. :\lr .. Ross asked ho v..• lon g: a person "ould be exposed to the J:umes etc . .Crom t.he solvent? :\lr. Roberts stated about one-hal£ to one minute at a time. ~r. Roberts stated that the danger with Perchloro- ethyl..ene is that ~t w~11 burn the skin when the clothes are touched before they are dried. He stated that the Stoddard Solvent acts more as Kerosene does ,..hen it gets on the sk~n. ~Jr. Roberts stated that Pcrch1oroethy1ene must be used in stainless st..e.a1 equiptnent . ltr . Lentsch asked to what degree the Stoddard Solvent: was heated? ~.Jr. Roberts stated that the solvent is not ""heat ed"": ~t may reach 120 ° in drying the clothes, but there is no flame and it is dry heat, steam and air ci.rcu1at::~on. Discussion £o11oued. Mr. Robert s stated that 2 ~ to 3 ~ of soa p, 1 /2 ~ to 1 ~ sizing agent, and mothproofing agents are added to the c1ean~ng 1oads; these are a11 non- £1ammab1e agents and decrease the degree of f1ammabi1ity of the Stoddard Solvent. Mr. Robins asked why, i£ the Stoddard Solvent wasn"t considered highly :f:l..anunabl..e, the insurance companies raised l-ates. and wby municipalities are d~scoura g~ng the use or this Solvent. ~r. Roberts stated he didn"t know. Mr . Lentsch asked ~hy mos~ c1eaning estab1ishments have put in the Per ch1oroethy1ene system? Mr. Roberts stated thac the restrictions on the Stoddard Solvent prevented the usage oC that system. He stated that he has been in his present 1ocat1on £or 20 years, and has used the Stoddard Sol - ven t the entire t1me. He stated that ~ust because ··of the changes in the Ord inance that have taken p1ace ~n the past 20 years, shou1d he have to pay $20,000 to $30,000 £or new equipment to change systems because the Stoddard is no longer permitted ."" Mr . Lentsch asked llr. Roberts how o1d his equip- ment is? llr.Roberts stated be ·•can• t say :Cor sure: he would sa y its ov er 10 years, but 1ess than 20 years. •• Mr. Ross a s k ed if Mr. Robert s had ever had a rire in his estab1ishment, or if he knew o f establishments using the Stoddard Solvent that have had fires? Mr. Robert s stated he woul.d have to answer ··no·• to both questions. ~r-Ro ss asked C hie f Hamilton if there had been any fires in c1eaning estab11shments using the Stoddard Solvent around the area? Chief Hamilton stated there have not been any ~n Eng1ewood. He stated that at one time there were about f~ve pl.aces that used the Stoddard Solvent in the City: these establishments have since either changed to Perch1oroethy1ene, or have moved out of the City . Chie£ Hamil.ton discussed the hazard of Stoddard Solv ent, and stated that he fel..t ~re the peop1e who drafted the Comprehensive Zoning O rdinance took into account the £act that it was a hazardous operation and that this is why it has been eliminated in the Business Districts. He stated that the ••NFPA recognizes 1t•s a hazard"•. Chief Ham i1ton dic;cussed the advantages of having a business using a f1ammab1e 1iqu~d such as the Stoddard So1vent in a 1ow density area. as in the industria1 district. He not ed that in tbe business areas, no se~backs are required; buildings are side by side. ~lr . Ros s asked Chie£ Hami1ton how many £ires bad o ccurred in service stations ? Chie-£ Ham i.1ton stated that in 33 years he bas been with the Department. be has £ought about six; he reported that there are several ""i ncidents·· a year at a service station. Ch~ef Hami1ton stated that the two most serious £ires at service stations occurred at the Co-Op station in the 3200 block o£ South Broadway, and at Ox£ord and Bro3dway; in both cases, the cause was the spi11ing or 1iQU1dS within the structure. Discussion ro11owed . lttr. Weist asked what zone districts permitted restaurants? Mr. Supi.nger stated that they uere pe:rm1tted in B-1., B -2. and I-1 and I-2. Mr. Weist pointed out that the restaurant u&e is considered to be a very hazardous use. Mrs. Romans stated that eating and drinking esta bl ishments are rated a ""G roup y··, and are not as hazardous as the ··croup E .·• Discussion :f:o11owed . Mr. Lentsch re-emphasized thatthe Commission must consider the publ.ic health, sa£ety and welfare, and that he has not seen to this time any g ood argument to change the Comprehensive Zoni n g Ord ina n ce . Mr. Tayl.or stated that he :Cc1t he had answered tlle matter of pub1ic hea1tb, safety and we1Care previously ; it is the argument o~ the applicant that the proposed use is not that di:f::Cerent £rom other permitLcd u ses, and that denial or this appea1 would b e discriminatory..

Weist moved: Ross seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Counci1 that the Comprehensive Zoning Ord inance, §22 .4 -11 b, be amended to permit the use of f1ammab1e 1iquids in dry c lean ing estab- lishments in the B-2 Zone District. The Conunissio n agrees with the applicant that restrictions on the use of £1ammab1e liquids in dry cleaning establishments is prejudicial and discrim inatory . Further discussion fo11owed. ~tr. Lentsch furt her discussed the aspect of health, safety and welfare. He stated that he does not understand why the app1icant can not change to the Perch1oroeth y1ene c1eaning system; he noted that ··sometimes we a11 have to cha nge and it wi11 cost us money... He stated he did not c onsider the matter o £ cost a g ood argument f or this amendment, and pointed out that this wou1d affect the entire community. Mr .

'Va.yne Roberts who "''.V"ishes to operate a dry cleaning establi shment in a B -Z :z:.one. The property is located just south of Quincy on the east side o£ Sou.t.h Broadway. 1n revi.evvi.ng your ordinances vve discover that: he c annot do soil the solvent that he uses is petroleum based... Customarily. he has in other locations used a. petroleum-based solvent known as Stoddard solvent. The zoning ordinance lists p e rTn.itted us es in the B-1 categor-y and then the B-Z c ate g ory adopts those u.ses and some others. In the enumeration of -~-U.ses in the B-1 cate g ory. it is s't.a.ted that a dry cleaning es't.a.blish..ment i..s a use-by-right. bu.t only i._f it uses a non-~arn.m.able cleaning agent. C1ea.ning establi shments use either Stoddard solvent {petroleum based) or a perc:h1oroeth y l ene-ba...sed ~o1v e n't.. The e f fect.. of your zon.i.ng ordinance is to ru.l.e out the u s e of the Stoddard solvent... We have had a. che'm.ist research the matter and based on his findin g s. urge th-at the restriction especi.a.l.ly in a. B-Z zone,. is an unreasonable one. The perch1oroetbyle n e -base d solvents v.;hich are the on1y a.l.ternate to the Stoddard. or p etroleum-based solvent. is an extremely toxic chemical and while the fire hazard is less. a.l.l o't..h.er hazards of a more toxic cheTn..i.cal are present ... As l. unde r s t and the c.h e mi.st's view, because of t:he fa cts d e scribed above th.e res trict.io.n in your ord.i r .. a.ncc C.oes not serve to bene.fit public health • safety. and weliare., but in fact ba.s an opposi.te result.. As you. k.no'W' .. a11 restrictions contai.ned in ordinances that are based on an exercise of the police po-wer must. bear some reasonable r e lationship to the public health. sa..fety or welfare. ll the restriction in your ordinance that • • • - - • • • Mr. Stanley H. Ilia.l Page Two March 31. 1972. - 0 - .._,e complain of is to be upheld. it. must ba.ve this reasonable relationship t.o public health. safety and 'veli"a.re. li t.he effect o£ the restriction is to -rn.inimiz.e fire hazard slightly bu.t. increase greatly other t.y-pes of hazards :frott'l. requiring use of a chem.i.ca.1 having greater t.ox:icit.)o~. we urge tb.a.t there is in !act. a. negative relationship. or at least. no real relationship to pub1ic healt.h. safety an.d "14-elia.re. Especially is this true a..s we carry the rest.ri.cti""n int.o the B-Z zone. The B-2 zone permit:s servi.ce s't.atior..s "-hich deal ~"'it.h large quantities of bigh1y flammable pet:roleu.Tn-based prociuct.s. The v..-a.y the products are used in •ervice stations presents a great deal more danger to the public t.ha..n. the use o£ petroleum-based cleaning solvents. The select.ion o{ t:..he type of solvent. t:o be used is not. a. matter to be con- •idered lightly by the operator o! a dry cleaning establishment. An invest:- 'U1ent. of many thousands of ciol_la.~s in equipment. is necessary. and the type o£ equipment t.o be i::1ves~ed in. varies based on the type of .solvent. used .. Considering all of these £acts. i.t. is my request. t.ha.t the City -~dmi:nistration revi-ew t.he mat:t.er. inclu.<!ing t..he points maCe in t.his letter and the report. of t.he chemist. and t.ha.t t.herea_!t.er you. f'orvvard the matter to the City Council so that a. language amendment. t:o t.he zoning ordinance ca.n be adopt.ed. if they concur .. .A.LS:ds .Enc.loau.re V~ry truly yours. ~41%.~1=' • • - I' 32 >< • • • May 2, 1972 s~udyi.ng ~he entire do~ntown area . and th e ingress and egress to this area a1so .. l.lrs ..

Lentsch asked w hat a£:Cect such an amendment wou1d have on another "..l.SC using substances simi1ar to this? ~tt. Berardini pointed out that the Fire regu1ations 1imit the size of a structure to 1.500 sq. ft ... for uses 6£ f1anunab1e agents. Discussion f:o11owed.. Chief Hami1ton stated that be £e1t the restrictions and regu1ations contained in the Fire Code aod Bui1ding Code were very important... He stated that he had no objections to a11owing tbe use of £1ammab1e c1eaoing agents in the B-2 Zone District, so 1ong as such uses were in comp1iance with ·•E Occupancy •• as set forth in the Fire Prevention Code. Chie£ Hamilton further discussed some of the restrictions placed on such uses by the Fire Prevention Code and the Building Code. Chief Hamilton stated that he didn•t feel allowing such flammable cleaning agents wou1d be as hazardous a s~tuat~on as a f~11~ng stat~on where the tankers are unloading and cars are being serviced . Chief Hamilton pointed out that with the use of the flammable cleaning fluids~ they wi11 be in c1osed system and wi11 be circulated and recycled. Further discussion fo11owed. Mr. Robins asked that the di££erence between the B-1 and B -2 Zone Distric~s be explained. Mr. Supinger stated that the B-1 is the downtown Business District~ and the B-2 was the strip commercial district. Further discussion 1"o11owed. Mr. Ross asked Chief Hamilton to explain perch1oroethy1ene. Chief Hamilton stated that this is a non-flammable cleaning agent that is toxic. P erch1oro- ethy1ene is not flammable~ and may be used to extinguish flames in fact~ stated Chic£ Hamilton. 3-lr. Ross asked that Chief Hamil.ton exp1ai.n the Stoddard solvent. Chief Ha.m.i l..t on stated that Stoddard solvent requires more extensive equipment than perch1oroethy1ene~ and is stored in large metal containers and pumped through pipes. The Stoddard so1vent is recycled after use into the storage containers. Mr. Ross then asked how much of the Stoddard solvent wou1d be used on the sub.,ject property? Mr. Roberts stated that 100 ga11ons would be used in a system as small as he has proposed. Mr. Supinger pointed out that a sys~em using the Stoddard solvent wou1d be 1imited in size by the 1~500 sq. ft. 1imitation placed on such o perations by the Fire Prevention Code. Mrs. Henning asked if other communities had a11owed the use of the Stoddard so1vent in dry cleaning estab1ishments? ~~-Supinger stated that he had no information on the matter. Brie~ discussion fo11owed . Henning moved: Ross seconded: The staff be directed to draft an amendment to the Comprehen - sive Zoning Ordinance which wi11 permit dry c1eaning es~ab1ish ments u sing f1ammab1e agents in the B-2 Zone District. and set a date for Pub1ic Hearing before the Commission .

I wculd offer ~he followino opinion re l ative to the zon ir.o reoui r er-e nts o er't.inen t to such o :>e ration s. t""v letter oF February 1 .. 19 72 to ·,rou co n ~ai ned info~ation wni c h cor.:pared U'le sa fety hazarC:s of Stodda rd solvent and Perchl oroetnylene. Tnese are the r.ost widely used solven'CS in ~.,e dry clean ing inaustry .and account for the bulk usa~e ar.d storage in a given plant. A conta ct of mine advises me that StoCda rd solvent is still widely used. although yea rs ago it was the only dry cleanser used. The nature o' L~is business requires adeauate equipment controls _,or handli ng ei tner so lvent safely. Perchloroet:'l vlene or ""Perk .. plants lnUSt use the sar"le adeoua~e (fail-safe) type ooerations that would orevent high conce nt ra ~i o ns esca ~ing into the air or excessive liquid spills as Stoddard solvent requires. In the case o~ ~~e hydrocarbon (Stoddard) solvent. some fire hazard could exist. but a .s y ou can see tne flash ooint of thi s rr.aterial outs it in the kerosene range---Cer"tainly no more nazardous t!·1an many c or:-.me rcial - .·"fndustrial operations sucn as paint applications. serv i ce s"t:ations ooera- tions .. etc. It is not as dangerous as gasol i ne or other similar volatile hydrocarbons. Perchloroethylene on th~ ot~er hand presents a definite toxic hazard to operators OT ad.jac ent pru:>e~y owners if a level of concentration exceeds t he 100 ppm range. Five tirr.es more lethal than that penni tted for Stoddard solvent. this cnemical does not involve a fire danger,. but as many chemists knO\'~• c h lorinated aliphati c compounds can be bad actorS on the health of a person. e.g. carbon tetrachloride • In summarv then. I am o~ the ooinion that Stoddard solvent does not present any more hazard than Perchloroethylene when both are used and handled in the proper manne r.

Tha.t if the app1ic:lnt is prec1uded -£ro::.1 the continued use <>~ his prese nt equ1 pm ent which is adapt e d t:o the use of Stoddard at: his n ew 1ocation, it wi11 cause undue financial. hardship in that it cannot be adapted f or the use o£ Per ch1oroet:hy1cne . 24 ..

C O NCLUSION The City Planning and Zoning Commission therefore concludes: 1 . That no conclu si ve evidence has been presented that a Class II solvent cannot be used sa£e1y within the B -2~ Busine ss Zon e Distric~ ir the re g ulations of the Unifoz~ Building Code and the Fire Prevention Code are enforced. 2.

June 1..5. 1972 Tb~s is in rep1y to your 1ec.cer of June 9 requesc~ng certain information about fi.re hazards i...n pec.ro1eutD dryc:1ean:Lng pLants. I enc1ose herewith t~o pub1ic:at~ons of c.he Naciona1 Fire Protection Association which wi11 answer some of your questions as we11 as give you a 1ot of add~tiona1 b ackground ~nformation and statistics on fire hazards in 1aundries and dryc1eaniog p 1anca . The NFPA bu11etLn number 32 L& the 1ast copy we have. but under the circumstances. I decided to send it to you anyway because a new addition of this _ahou 1d come out any week now . I£ you have any questions concerning the conditions covered in bu11etin 32. you might phone this organ.1zation direct1y and find out Lf there has been any change in the revised bu11et~n they are about to issue. S ome of the statistica1 qu estions that you bad are probab1y covered to extent by the tab1es on page 11 of the other pub1icatLon. 1 wi11 now take up your specific questions one by one. 1. There is no r e1ati.v e safety factor i..n the use of Stoddard so1vent and perch1orethy1ene because p e rch1orethy1 e ne i.& not £1.au:.nab1e . The safety factor as far as perch1orethy1e n e is concerned Ls one of toxicity . 2. We consider the f~re hazard from Stoddard so1vent to be quite minor. With proper operation of a Stoddard so1vent p1ant. there is 1i.tt1e danger of a fire. It has been our experience that moat fi.rea i.n Stoddard ao1vent p1ants are caused by £ai..1ure o£ the operMtor to c1cQn out e he 1i.nt tra? ~n the tumb1er or tokeep the exhaust duct free of 1i.nt . Anything that interferes with the air £1ow wi11 pro1ong the dry~ng t~e and increase the so1vent vapor concencracion in the air. In no~1 operat~on o£ a Stoddard ao1vent Cumb1er. che air f1ow La so high that an exp1osive mLxture in the tumb1er is never reached . In other words. a spark in the tumb1er wi11 not ignite the vapor so 1ong as the air f1ow is maintained at the proper 1eve1.

What this means ~s that a spark wi11 ignite the vapor ove r gasoline down to a temperature of mLnus 50°F. On the other hand. until the ambient temperature is higher than 100°F •• a spark wi11 not ignite Stoddard solvent. There are spec La1 building codes and r equirement s for Stoddard so1vent e quipment in most states that ca11 for explosion-proof equipment. explosion-proof electric switches. etc . These are extra safety precautions c hat I do not believe are present in gasoline fi11ing sta tions. I b elieve that your major safety facto r in gasoline haod1~g is that everything is gene r a~1y outdoors where the air QOveroent is such that an expl.osive mixture is rare1y reached even when gaso1ine is spi11ed on the concrete . We have a 1ways objected to what w e ca11 a doub1e standard where S todda rd d rycl.eaning p1ants and fi11ing stations are concerned. We £ee1 t ha t Stoddard drycl.eanLng pLants a r e unfair1y discriminated agains t r eLative t o £i1Ling stations. T he probabLe r eason for this disc r imLnation is that fi.L1ing s tations are considered a necessity and drycl.eaning pLants a 1uxury . In other word s. t he at~itude is. who needs a petroLe um dryc1eaning p1ant in the neighborhood. whereas everybody n eeds fi11ing stations. We feel. that insurance comp anie s and 1ocaL fire ma rsha11s have been v e ry strong advocates of dryc1eane r s conve rting to perch1orethyLene. a more expensive so1vent by a considerabLe factor . 1n addit ion to the regu1a r Stoddard so1vent. we have deveLoped in our i ndustry a much safer so1vcnc. which is ca11ed ••140-F Sol.vene". Thi.s so l. vent. has a £1ash point of 14Q0p _ and c.herefore is very safe . Special. exp1osi.on-proo£ motors and switches are not norma11y required i.n pl.anc.s using this particuLar sol.vent. 3. Yes. there i.S a trend Ln favor of perchl.oreebyl.ene as a so1vent Ln the dryc1eani.ng industry. but there are some factor& that make chis an undesirab1e trend . This trend is not due co any superior~cy of the perch1orechy1ene or even any 1e ss prob1ems in hand1ing Lt . Perch1orethy1ene is a much mor e active so1vent than is Stoddard so1vent and it wi11 damage many texti1e fabrics and dye s -hi.ch are qu i te sa£e1y h a nd1ed in Stoddard sol.vent.

Ross moved : Robins seconded: The Public Bearing be opened . The motion carried. Mr . Lentsch asked the staff to present the background of this request. Mrs. Romans stated that information from the Denver and Hospita1 s was received by the office on June 5, information have been given Commission members this Department of Hea1th 1972; copies of this evening . Mrs. Romans stated that notice of the Pub1ic Hearing was published in the Eng1ewood H era 1 d on May 18, 1972. Mrs. Rom.ans then discussed 'the researc h done by the staff o n the mat~er of the f1ammab1e Stoddard So1ve nt versus the non-f 1ammab1e ~rch1oroethy1ene c 1eaning f1uid. ~lrs. Romans stated that the c1ties o~ oenver and L1tt1 eton , under the1r zoning codes, do no't permi t new dry cleani n g estab1ishments using £1ammab1e liquids. Arvada, Aurora, Boulder and Lakewood do not speci..£ica11y prohibit the use o f f 1amma- b1e J..iquids in dry c1eani n g establ..ishments, and Bou1Uer clo~s attempt: t:o ..discoura ge·• these uses. Mrs. Romans stated that Captain Hartley had re- searched the matter i..n regard to Fire Codes. and has found that Denver and Auror a wi..11 not permit a ny new C 1ass II dry cleaning establishments ; Boulder wi11 .. discourage" new Clas s II dry cleaning plant s, and Li..tt1eton .. to the best or th ei r kno w 1edge·· ha s no C1ass II so lvents in dry c1eaning p1ant:s.

Roman s t:ben revi.ev;.,ed i.n i:ormation she had obtained from the Air Po11ut i.on Board s: Colorado Ai.r Po1l..ut:i.on C ontrol Board, ).tr . Weiner, stated there are no hydrocarbon emission standards from a st:atjonary source in the State at thi s time; Denver Air Po11u1:ion Con t rol, :\lr. Dobler , stated they were not concerned about: either Stoddard or Perch1oroethy1e ne as far as air po11ution was concerned . Al.r. C rowe of the C o1orado Department of Labor stated that he .fe1t: Perch1o r oet:hy1 ene is safer than a f:1ammab1e 1iquid. Mr. Crowe did state that i£ used prope r1y, there may be no dan ger with either substance, but that if there shou1d b e a 1eak i n the equipment he fe1t the danger to the emp1oyee from 1ire wou1d b e grea ter with the Stoddard So1ven~ than of £umes w ith the P e rch1oroethy1ene . According to the Uniform Bui1ding Code, dry cleaning estab1ishmeots using f1runmab1e 1iquids are an E-2 Occupancy, permitted in Fire Zone 1 and 2. The B-2 Zone District is in Fire Zone 2. The maximum f 1oor area is 1imited in Fire Zones 1 and 2. If the size of the bui1ding exceeds 1,500 sq. rt., the bui1ding must be sprink1ered. There are requirements that must be met on the fire resistance of the wa11s of such structures housin g uses such as a dry c 1eaning estab1ishment using f1arrunab1e 1iquid. Mrs. Romans stated that she had contacted insurance companies and the Inspection Bureau ; the rates are higher ror a use that has a f1a~ab1e 1iquid used in their process ; the rates are a1so higher 1or structures adjacent to the initia1 use. There a re many factors invo1ved in determining the insurance such as 1ocation, type af bui1ding, etc. Chemica1 companies were contacted . It was 1earned that the Stoddard So1vent is considerab1y more inexpensive than tbe Perch1oroethy1ene . Mrs. Romans stated that at the May 2~ 1972, meeting, the dry c1ean:i.ng establishment using £1a~ab1e 1:i.quid was compared to a fi11ing station. and it was quest1oned why one use wou1d be perm1tted in a B -2 Zone Distr1ct, and the other wou1d not. Mrs. Romans noted that fi11ing stations are a Group F Occupancy. and are not con~idered to be the hazard that the dry cleaning estab1ishment using f1ammab1e 1iquid wou1d be. She noted that the service station has the £1ammab1e 1iquid stored underground. out -of - doors, and the storage tanks must meet UL standards. Mrs . Rom ans stated that th e re are two c1eaning estab1ishments in the City of Eng1ewood using the f1ammab1e 1iquid: Quincy C1eaners. owned by Mr. Roberts, the app1icant; and Koit C1eaners~ which is 1ocated in an industria1 district. Mrs. Ro~ans stated that the staff, after considering the information avai1- ab1e, has recommended that the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance not be amended to permit dry c1eaning estab1ishments uSing f1ammab1e 1iquids in the B -2 Zone District . Chairman Lentsch asked Chief Hami1ton if he wished to add to the background given by ~lrs. Romans? Chief Hami1ton stated that Captain Hart1ey has re - searched the prob1em, and asked Captain Hartley to present the information . Captain Hart1ey stated that he bad checked with tbe 1oca1 Fire Departments to determine th ei r restrictions on f1ammab1e 1iquids used in dry c1eaning est.ab1ishmenLs . He reported that Denver and Aurora prohibi.L new C1ass l.I estab1i.sh:ments; Boulder .. discourages~· n ew Class II uses, and the City of Litt1eton does not have any such uses to their know1edge. e Mr. Lentsch asked the proponents to present their case . • Mr. Ra1ph Tay1or stated he was representing Mr. Roberts for Mr. Sternberg . Mr. Tay1or stated that whi1e the staf:£ has done a very comprehensive study and report, s~i11 when ana1yzed point by point, the staff report does not support the staff r ecommendation of not amending the Zoning Ord inance . M.r. Tay1or sta t e d that the app1icant~ Mr. Wayne Roberts. is desirous o.f con st ru c ~in g a new bui1ding in the same b1ock as his present use, the pro- posed bui1ding t.o b e to th e south o£ his present 1ocation. Mr. Tay1or dis- cus sed the sec tion or th e sta££ report entit1ed: Inrormation Obtained ¥rom Oth er Sources by the Staf:£, and noted that the restrictions in the fire and bui1din g codes are not set forth for consideration. Mr. Tay1or stated that -2- • .J • • - • he f:e 1t: the i nJ:o:rTnati.on ~as incomplete and inconclusive. ~lr .

Taylor stated that he felt the m a tt:e r o .£ incre a sed in s uranc e rates on the sub.,je c t property owner was the concern of the prope rty owner.

Taylor st:ated tha'C "the g entl e man 31: Qui-n cy Cleaners has an ··enclosed system ··~ and stated that he £e1t it was incorrect to assume that operators or estab- 1ishments using the Stoddard So1ven"t: wou1d be more ··care1ess because its 1ess expensive·• _ Mr. Tay1or stated that he :turther :Ce1t the argument that otber dry c1eani.ng estab1~shments mi g ht change over to the Stoddard System and cause a hazard because o:C the construction of the bui1ding and equip- ment was i.nva1id . ~r. Tay1or noted that the staff report states that static e1ectricity and friction can ignite the Stoddard So1vent; be stated that no statistics were set £orth , and asked if this possibi1ity was more dangerou s than the possibi1ity o£ poisoning by Perch1oroethy1ene. :\1r . Tay1or stated that he had received the staf£ report ~1onday, and had on1y day or two £or review: he stated that the staff has done a good job of research and has ~athered a 1ot of facts; ho~ever, he does not £ee1 that the materia1 contai n ed within the sta££ report supports the conc1usion recom.mended by the sta.f£. 1r. Tay1or asked the Commissio n to recom.meod tbat the Com prehensive Zonin g Ordinance be ame nded to permit dry c1eaning estab1ishments using f1ammab1e 1iquids in the B -2 Z one District. Mr. Lentsch sta t ed that whi1e ~lr-Tay1or had mencioned the **1ega1 ·· points --~bat the exc1usion o~ f1ammab1e 1iquids £or use by dry c1eaning estab1ish- ments was pre~udicia1 and discriminatory --he had not spoken to the matter of pub1 ic hea1th, safety and we1fare as wou1d be affected by the approva1 o f the request . Mr. Tay1or stated that it is the app1 ica nt"s position that the restrictions from a 1ega1 standpoint are pre,judicia1 and discriminatory, and are not. re1ated t.o the pub1ic hea1th, safety and we1fare . Mr. Lentsch asked if Mr. Tay1or had information on the number o£ person s poisoned by the f umes o£ Perch1oroethy 1ene in the 1ast year? Mr . Tay1or stated he did not have such in.J:'ormati on. ~1r .. Tay1or stated that if the app1i.cant was ··opposin g·• the use o f Perch1o roethy1ene, they wou1d have the information, but the app1ica nt is not opposing the use of that particu1ar s o1vent.. They are asking that the Stoddard So1vent be approved for those busines sme n who wish to use it i n their dry c 1eaning estab1ishments.. Dis- cussion '£o11owed. Mr . Ross asked ~'lr .. Tay1.or to summarize his point:s on the 1 ega1 aspect o :t: the matter . :\1r. Tay1or sta'ted that his arguments were in the area of constitutio na1 1aw, whereby discrimination betwee n peop1e and things is constitut:iona1ly 1aw:f:u1 if there is va1id basis in 1ogic and rea s on oJ: such discrimination. Mr. Tay1 or stated he did not fee1 that there was a va1id basis of reasoning for the d iscrimi~ation between the fi11ing stations, spray paint booths, and the use o£ the Stoddard So1vent by c1eaning es~ab1ishm e nts in the B -2 Zone District .

He stated that they were contro11 e d to ~h e extent that Perch1oroethy1ene is rec1aimed from the atmosphere~ and the rcc1aimcr is designed to change the fumes back to 1iquid 'J:.orm by di s ti11ation. Mr . Roberts stated that the fumes from the Stoddard So1vent can be di.sti11ed and rec1aimed, but must be i n a ·•vac uum st..i 11 ... Mr . Ross asked when a person woul.d be exposed to the ..t~umes if both systems are enc1ose d? Mr .

Ross asked how l.on g a person ~ou1d be exposed to the £ume s etc. from the s olve nt? ~Jr . Roberts s tated about one-hal.f to one minute at a time. ~r. Roberts stated that the danger with Perch1oro- ethy1ene is that it wi11 burn th e s kin when the clothes are touched before they are dried.. He stated that the Stoddard Solvent acts more as Kerosene does when it gets on the skin.. Mr. Roberts stated that Perchl.oroethyl.ene must be used i.n stainless steel equipment. M.r .. Lentsch asked to what degree the Stoddard Solvent was heated? Mr .. Roberts stated that the solvent is not "'heated "'; i..t may reach 120 ° in drying the clothes, but there is no £1ame and it is dry heat, steam and air circulation. Discussion followed. Mr. Roberts stated that 2 ~ to 3 ~ o£ soap~ 1 /2r to 1 ~ si.zi.ng agent~ and mothproo£ing agents are added to the cleaning loads; these are a11 non- flammable agents and decrease the degree of flammability of the Stoddard Solvent. Mr. Robins asked why, if the Stoddard Solvent wasn~t considered highly flammable~ the insurance companies raised rates, and why municipalities are discouraging the use of this Solvent. Mr. Roberts stated be didn•t know. Mr. Lentsch asked why most cleaning establishments have put in the Perch~oroethyl ene system? Mr. Roberts stated that the restrictions on the Stoddard Solvent prevented the usage of that system. He stated that he has been in his present location for 20 years~ and has used the Stoddard Sol- vent the entire t:1me.. He stated that just because ··o:e the changes in the Ordinance that have taken p1ace in the past 20 years~ should he have to pay $20,000 to 530,000 for new equ1pment to change systems because the Stoddard is no longer permitted _·• .Mr. Lentsch asked Mr. Roberts how old his equip- ment: is? llr.Rober't:s stated he ··can•t say for sure; he woul..d say its over 10 years. but less than 20 years. ·• Mr . Ross a sked i.£ Mr. Roberts had ever bad a fire i.n his estab1ishment, or if he knew of establishments using the Stoddard Solvent that have had fires? Mr . Roberts st..at:ed he \lroou1d have t:o answer ··no·• to bot:h questions.. Mr. Ross asked Chief Ha~i1ton ir there bad been any fires in c1eaning establishments using the Stoddard So1vent around the area? Chief Hamilton stat:ed there have not been any 1n Englewood. He stated that at one time there were about five places ~hat used the Stoddard Solvent in the City; these establishments have since either changed to Perch1oroet:hy1ene, or have moved out of the City. Chief Hamilton d1scussed the hazard of Stoddard Solvent, and stated that he felt sure the peop1e who drafted the Comprehensive zoning Ordinance took into account the fact that it was a hazardous operation and that this is why it has been eliminated in the Business Districts. He stat:ed that the ·•NFPA recognizes it"s a ha~ard"". Chie.f Hamilton discussed the advantages of having a busin ess usin g a £1ammab1e 1iquid such as the Stoddard Solvent in a low density area, as in the industrial district. He noted that in the business areas, no setbacks are required; buildings are side by side. Mr. Ross asked Ch1e£ Hamilton bow many fires bad occurred in service st:ations? Cbie::C Hami.1ton stated ttl at in 33 years he has been with the Department, be has 1'ought about:. six; he reported that there are severa1 ·•1ncidents .. a year at a service station. Chie£ Hami1ton stated that the two most serious fires at service stations occurred at the Co-Op station in the 3200 block of South Broadway, and at Ox :Cord and Broadway; in both cases, the cause was the spi11ing or 1iqu1ds with1n the st:ructure . Discussion followed . ~tr. Weist asked what zone districts permitted restaurants? Mr. Supinger stated that they were permit..ted in B-1, B-2, and I-1 and I-2.

Discussion fo11owed . • Mr. Lentsch re-emphasized thatthe Commission must consider the public health, sa:Cety and wel.fare, and that he has not seen t..o this ti.me any good argument to change t..he Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Taylor stated that he ~elt he had answered the mat..ter o:C publ~c hea1t:h, sarety and we1£are prev~ous1y; it is the argument o~ tl~e applicant that the proposed use is not that di£.Ccrent.. :Crom other permitt.ed uses, and that denial o:C this appea1 wou1d be discri.m1nntory.

The probability of hazard exists ""·herever the flammable 1iquid is used and the hazard extends beyond the dry cleaning establishment as evidenced by the imposition of an exposure factor in the insurance rate on uses adjacent to a dry c1eaning estab1ishment in which the f1anmab1e 1iquid is u sed.

RecomrnendatioO of -the Department of Co~unity Deve1opment: It is recommended that the zoning Ordinance not be amended to pe1~it the use of f1ammab1e 1iquids in dry c1eaning estab1ishments in the B-2 Zone District because of the fire hazard assoc~ated therew~th. Because the hazard of f~re ~s not on1y to the bui1~ing in which the use is 1ocated, but extends to ad3acent uses as we11, the restr~ct~on does serve to the bene£~t of the pub1~c hea1th,safe~y and we1fare and shou1d be continued.

Colorado COlZO Oear Mr. Sternberg: A;>ril 5. 1972 In reoly to your 'luestions co:1cerning the use of solvents in drv cleaning esta~lis nr..ents. I would offer ~h e follo-.·lino opinion relative to the zonir.o reaui reo~nL.s oer-::.inent to such o~erations. ~v letter o'f February 1 .. 1972 -co vou contair.ed info~aticn wnic.n co~::>ared the safety hazarGs of Stoc!dard solvent ar.d Perchloroe~ylene. Tnese are the r:-:ost widely useG sclvent3 in ~,e drf clear.ing inaustry .and account for the bulk usa~e and stora~e in a given plan~. A contac~ of mine advises me that Stoddard solven't. is s't.ill widely used. although years ago it was the only dry cleanser used. The nature oF ~1is business requires adequate equipment controls 'f"or handling ei tner solvent sa'fely. Perchloroet.1vlcr.e or "Perk"' plants must use the sane aCecua~e ( fai 1-saf'"e) tyoe ooerations that would orevent high concentrations esca~ing into the air or excessive liquid spills as Stoddard solvent requires. In the case of the hydrocarbon (S toc!dard) sol vent. so~ fire hazard could exist, bu~ as you c an see t..~e flas!l. ooin't. of this rr.a't.erial outs it in the kerosene ran Qe---Cer1:.ain1y no m ore nazardous t."lan many ccn7'i:ercia1- ·.·"'fndustrial opera~ ions such as paint aoplicaticns. service s~ations ooera- tions. etc. It is not as dangerous as gasoline or other similar volatile hydrocarbons. Perchloroethylene on the ot.'ler hand presents a definite toxic hazard to operators or aQjacer.~ pru~erty owners if a level of concentration exceeds t.,e 100 ppm ra.nae. Five ti lT'..e s more lethal than that penni tted for Stoddard solvent. this Cnemi cal does not involve a fire danger. but as many chemists knc-..<~, c.11orinat:.ed alipha tic compounds can be bad actors on the health of a person. e.g. carbon tetrachloride. In summarv then. I am of the oo1nion that Stoddard solvent does not present any more hazard than Perchloroethylene when both are used and handled in the orooer manner. Zoning restrictions against Stoddard solvent may be prejudicial and lack. a basis in fact. l1Y qualifications to express the aforementioned ooi ni ons are derived ~rom the following: Formal education consists of train1na in Chemistry 6 Physics with a B.S. degree f'rorn Regis College.

In the enumeration of _---U:"aes i..D. t.he B-1 category. it is stated that a dry cleaning establishment is a -u•e-by-ri.ght. bu_t: onl.y il it uses a non-f1a...D'l.%r1able cleaning agent ...

E•peci.a.lly is t.h_i.s true as we carry t.h.e restriction into the-B-Z zone . The B-2 z.on.e permits ser"V"i.ce stations v.rhi.ch deal with large quantities of h.igh1y fia.:n1ma.ble petroleum-based products. The vva.y the products are used in •ervice stations presents a. great deal more danger to the public th.a..n the u•e o£ petroleum-based cleaning solvents. The selection of t:.h.e type o£ solvent to be used is not. a matter to be con- •idered lightly by the operator of a. dry cleaning establishment. An invest:- 'ED.ent. of many thousa..nds of dollars in equipment: is necessary. and t.he type o£ equipment: t.o be invested i..n varies based on t:he type o:C solvent. used.

Co l orado Februa~ 1. 1972 Enclosed please ~ind a description of t~o dry-cleaning solvents which are principal types currently·in use. The toxicology data is not particularly relevant to your problem. but this re£erence• is a good source for physical constants. A contact o£ mine advises me that perchloroethylene is widely used in the dry cleaning business as "Dow-Per" or ""Dow-Per 11 ... This is the non-flamm able. non-hydrocarbon liquid which has a lower boiling point than the hydrocarbon type but appears to be ~o~ It would have to be controlled at the plant for air pollution regulation. Stoddard solvent is still used fairly extensively in the d~ cleaning business. As you can see. it has a higher boiling point and is flammable. Flash point is important with this .aterial. It seems to be less toxi~ but would likewise need to be controlled for air pollution regulations. I hope this information sheds some light on your situation .

The s ubject area has been zoned R -2 -A, a two-fami1Y residential district, since 1955, yet, bec ause of the requirements in that Zone District that a two -~ami1y unit can be constructed on no less than a 75 f oot frontage ~ 14 of the 19 owners are precluded from constructing a two-familY unit, should they desire to do so, because they have 1ess than 75 f oot frontage. 2.

Be fe1t the traffic on Be11eview was a ~a~or prob1em, and the dea1er- sbip 1ocated on Be11eview with the traffic generated by such a use won•t decrease the traffic prob1em.

Dryden, owners of property at 2853 South Sherman Street . The area e n c ompassed i n the app1ication is bounded on the north by the center1ine of East Amh erst A v enue, the center1ine of the L~nco1n /S herman a11ey, the ce nter1 ine o f East Bates Avenue, and the center1ine or the Sherman/Grant a11ey. The present zoni n g o ~ this b1ock is R-2-A~ a two-~ami1y c1assification, which requires a m inimum o£ 75 ft. frontage and 9,000 sq. ft. 1ot area for a two-£ami1y use. This zone district wi11 p ermit a sing1e-fami1y use on 50 ft. frontage, 6,000 sq . £t . 1ot area . Mrs. Roman s stated the requ est was for a c hange to an R-2-B Zone District, which zone c1assi~ication permits a si n g 1e-fa mi1y or two-fami1y use on 50 rt. £roota ge, 6,000 sq . rt. 1ot are a. Mrs. Romans stated that th e Comm issi on has received a s ta ff report on this app1ication, which report shou1d be mad e a part o f the record. Mrs. Romans noted that the P1anning C o~ission recommended and the City C ounci1 approved, an amendment to the R-2-B District some fe w months ago, by which deve1opment in the R-2-B District was granted f 1exi.bi1ity. The base frontage and 1ot area is the 50 f t. f rontage, 6,000 s q. ft. 1ot area ; but, for each add i t i ona1 25 ft. f rontage, 3000 sq . ft. 1ot area , an additiona1 unit may be constructed. A11 units must be under one roof. This gives the deve1oper who wants to bu i1d a tri -p1ex on 75 feet the approva1 to do so. Be f ore the District was amended, tri-p1exes and f our-p1exes were not per- mitted. There is a maximum of 14 units pe r a c r e i n the amended R-2-B District. Mrs. Romans stated that Mr . Dryden owns 100 ft. f ronta ge at 2853 South Sh e rman ; a s ma11 hou se in good condition is 1ocated on the north 50 ft. o f this owners h i p, and Mr. Dryden wants to bui1d a dup1ex on the s outh 50 ft . Mrs. Romans stated that the R-2-A District is not £unctiona1, and the sta ff ques tions whether this di strict sbou1d be c ont i nued. Chances o f redeve1op- ment are quite r est ri cted i n thLs zone d istrict, and activity has been very 1i..m.ited . Mrs. Romans stated that the subject b1ock, present1y zoned R-2-A, has se veral. existing two-fami1y uses on 50 ft. fr ontage; Board of Adjustment records s how a variance was issued for the construction o f one of these two-£am i1 y un its not too 1ong ago, and another was constructed by vari ance severa1 years ear1ier. This b1ock has been zoned R-2-A since 1955. Mrs. Romans noted there appears to be no pos si bi1 ity of deve1oping this b1oc k as R-2-A (Two -fami1y use on 75ft. frontage); since most o f the ownerships (14 out of 20) are 50 ft . ownerships, and it wou1d necessitate the purchase of tw o se pa rate ownerships to construct one dup1ex. This is not economica11y .feasi bl.e . Mrs . Roman s stated that Mr. Dryden is i nteres ted in deve1oping the 50 ft . o f his property which is vacant, but cannot construct a dup1ex on 50 ft. Mr. Dryden cou1d have appea1ed to the Board of Adjustment and Appeal.s for a va riance, but was advised against this procedure. Mrs. Romans stated that the s ma1.1 house on Mr. Dryden • s property has been inspected for c omp1iance with the hous1ng c od e~ and is found to be sound.

Mr .. K eith Dryden stated that he £e1t much o £ the opposition in the b1ock to his request was b ec au se there is one dup1ex owned by a person who 1ives out o£ town, out o £ the state in fact, and there have been prob1ems with tenants in this dup1ex. Mr . Dryden stated that he has so1d his home in the 3000 b1ock South Pear1, wh ich be had bui1t about 18 years ago. Mr ..

He pointed out that there is 1itt1e property for the City to annex .. Mr .. Dryden stated that the 1and ~s priced too high to bui1d one dup1ex on 100 ft. Lrontage.

Dryden stated that h e did purc hase the property at 2853 South Sherman for an investment property and he £e1t at the time he purchased it that he wou1d be ab1e to get it re- zoned ~ Mr .

Mr. Brown asked why the properLy was zoned f or 75 ft . fr ontage in the first p1ace? Mrs .

Mrs. Ro~ans stated that at the present time, 1a nd use information is being used to attempt to correct past errors, and again noted that 14 of 20 ownerships in the b1ock have 50 :Ct . frontage or 1ess . Discussion fo11owed. Mr. Ross suggested that there mus~ have been a reason for zoning the b1ock £or 75 ft. ~rontages to begin with. Mr. C ar1son asked Mr .

Mr . Dryden stated that it wou1d not; that a deve1oper cou1d have in tbe neighborhood of $45,000 tied up in the 1and . Mr . Dryden pointed out that construction costs for a dup1ex today are approximate1y $30,000 . He stated that if the request is approved, he p1ans to bu:1.1d a unit that wou1d :rent :fo.r around $180. Mr. Robins asked Mr. Dryden why he didn"t purchase R -2 -B property to begin with? Mr. Dryden stated that he had at~empted to find such property, but cou1d not find what he wanted . 1r . Duane Jarred stated that under the present ordinance. Mr. Dryden cou1d construct a dup1ex on 100 ft . frontage; be asked why there was a request to change the zone c1assi.fication un1ess Mr. Dryden was p1anning to bui1d a four-p1ex? Mr . Jarred noted that near1y every property owner has 1ived there for 10 years . Mr. Jarred a1so discussed the parking situation. He stated that wh11e a dev e 1opment may provide parking for the tenants, you ca nnot force them to use that ~arking . Mr .

Mr. Brown noted that the schoo1 enro11ment 1s dropping, and he fee1s that when thi s situat1on happens, 1t does noL make ~or a good community. Mr. Brown stated he cou1d ··see a11 kinds o£ things that wi11 be hurt if we vote no on this.·· By c ontrast, 1£ approved, he stated that he cou1d see up-grading of the area~ with an e 1 imination o£ the sma11 1itt1e house that may not be 1arge enough to accommodate a £ami1y. Mr . Brown stated he cou1d not vote in favor of the moLion to deny . Mr .. Lentsch asked Mr . Lee what a:Cfect approva1 or denia1 wou1d have on other app1~cations? Mr. Lee stated that the decision on each app1ication must be made on the merits of the individua1 app1ication. Mr. Lee stated that points to be cons1dered were what the Comprehensive P1an indicated ~or :Cuture deve1opment for the area; i£ there has been materia1 change in the neighborhood to warrant the rezoning, etc. Mr .. Lee stated that i:f a request ::~...s approved, the C1 ty wi11 have made a ••change·· upon which future app1i.cat.l..ons can be based . Mr .

Henning sta~ed that she d1d :Cee1 the app1::~...cation of the R-2-A zoning was an error, and pointed out that the Co~ission has a1so discussed the fact that most apartment deve1opments wi11 n~a11ow chi1d ren , and that a1so, most apartment deve1opments were the "'three-story wa1k-up·•. Mr s .. Henning stated that she wou1d be in favor of most o:f the R-2-A Zone District being changed to R-2-B to encourage redeve1opment with the hope that units a11owing young chi1dren wou1d be constructed.. Mrs .. Henning stated that the City did not need more one-bedroom apartments. Mr. Lentsch discussed ef'C orts of oth er cit1es to up-grade o1der deter iorati.ng parts or their cit~es .. He stated that th~s app1ication is :for a sma11 area , but he fe1t the R-2-A must be up-graded a11 over town . tr. Robins pointed out that a majority o£ the residents o£ the b1ock are opposed to the app1icat~on .. Mr .. Rob ins a1so pointed out that Mr .. Dryden stated he purchased the 1and w~th the intent o f asking :for rezoning. He stated he cou1d not approve the request £or these reasons .. 1 s. Vobe~da commented that she does not think it has been demonstrated that more than 1 /2 o£ the peop1e do not want the rezoning. Mr . Ross stated that he re1t Eng1ew ood was becoming nothing more than a ··bedroom·· for Denver; he stated that he fe1t it was in the best interest or the C1ty to preserve as ~uch open space as we can and to use the 1and to 1...he best advantage _ Mr. Ross stated that he :fe1t the area w o u1d be re - deve1oped~ but he wou1d rather see the zoning remain as it is .. Mrs .

The property is present1y zoned R-2-A under the E n g 1ewood Zoning Or dinances which said zoning permits the construction o f a two -fa.m.i1 y dwe11ing on property having 75• fr ontage. App1 ica nts desire to co n t ruct a dup1ex on a portion o£ th eir said property, and the tot al. 1and owned by applicants would be surficient to accommodate the constru ction of a two - £ami1y dwelling thereon. However, there is existing on Lots 35 and 36 a house. in a good state of repair; the balance of app1~cants• property (save and except an old carriage house which applicants in~end to raze) is vacant g round. Because of the existent state of ~acts, it is impossible £or app1icants to construct a two-£ami1y dwelling on their said property un - l ess they raze the existing single-family dwelling to provide f or the 75 fo o t fr onta ge r equired under the R -2-A zone dis- trict. The p1igbt of app1icants is not unique to the area herein requested f or rez oning . It is respectfully submitted that thi s area i.s a1ready properly zo n ed for two -family usage . Howe v er, on account o f exi.sting 50" parcels of proper~y in oue o wnership and on account o f existing single -family dwellings constructed on such 50" parcels, it is sincere:v doubted that the subject area wi11 ever redevelop under the existing R-2-A zone category. ~bile there exist seve ral two-family dwe11in~s in the area. such d~e11ings are, for the most part, developed on so• frontages; such development occurred prior to the zoning o f the subject property for R-2-A usage. It is unknown to app1 icants. but believed to be true, that no two -fami1y dwelling construction has t aken place in this area since the same was zoned R-2-A in approxLmately 1963. It is re spec t£u11v submitted that tbe problem reso1ves itself to one of econom ics o £ deve1opment, o f which the City of Eng1ewood must be cognizant in the p1anning £or development and redevelopment o£ the City. Due to the e xisting h igh con- struction and 1and c o sts, wb ich costs appe ar to be e ver-in- creasing. and due to the ownership o f so• parce1s o f land, it is ec onom ically i n feasib 1e to co n stru ct a two -family dwelling on 75 • fr onta ge property. In many. if not most cases, one has to raze at 1 east on e , if not two existing dwe11ings in ord er to make available s u f£icie nt fr onta ge to bui1d a two-£ami1y dw elli n g . such is particu1ar1y true in the area under consideration. • • • .· r 32x - - - - - 0 - STAFF REPORT REZONING Pa e -3-Case n17 -72 Description of Subject Area: Tbe 2800 b1oc k of South Sherman Street is typica1 of the majority of the deve1opment in the City of Eng1ewood.

Again, typica1 o£ many o1der homes in the City, it has on1y 660• square reet o£ f1oor area: but, it is in g ood condition, and has been we11 maintained. The south 50 £eet of Lhis ownership has been 1andscaped; but is not deve1oped. It is upon this 50 foot site that the app1icant wishes to construct a two -fami1y use. Description of Adjacent Area: The fo11owing zoning is app1ied to the adjacent areas: To the North: To the East: R-2-A, Two-fami1y Residentia1 . R-1-C, Sing1e-iami1y Residentia1 . R-2 -A, Two-1ami1Y Res~dentia1 . To the South: To the West: R-2-B, Residentia1. The deve1opment surrounding the subject area is, again. typica1 o f ~he o1der sections of the City. with an inter- mix o £ sing1e and ~wo -~ami1y uses, most o f them one-story frames o r asbestos siding. many o~ them having 1ess than 850 square ~eet of f1oor area and many of them on 1ess than SO £oot frontage. B ackground of Previous Action R e1ati ng to the Area: P1anning Commission records show no hav ing bee n taken in the subject area . pre viou s action Board o£ Adjustme nt and Appea1s ~ecords show the fo11owing cases: February. 1966-a variance was granted to construct a dup1ex on a 50 foot Lrontage at 2820 South Sherman Street. Comments from Other Departments: Because the requested zoning is within the same c1assification as the existing zoning, R-2. no comments other than the information cited above, bas been obtained. R e1ationship to the Comprehensive P1an : The Comprehensive P1an designates this genera1 area as medium density residentia1. with project p1a ns (1980) f or a possib~y higher density . • The iact that an existing structure bui1t prior to the present zoning ordinance adoption which estab1ishes a minimum f1 oor area o£ 850 squ3re ~eet for a sing1e-fami1y unit, does not make the u se non-conforming . • : • .J r • • • • • - I STAFF REPORT REZONING Pa e -5-Case -17-72 Department o£ Community Deve1opment Ana1ysis: Because the subject area is typica1 o£ the deve1opment in the R-2-A Zone District, it is the opinion of the sta~r that to adequate1y eva1uate the request, it is necessary to ana1yze the R-2-A Zone District. The Bui1ding Department records show that on1y one case has been be£ore the Board of Adjustment and Appea1s: 2820 South Sherman, a variance to construct a two -£ami1y use on a 50 £oot rather than 75 foot frontage. Two pe1~its have been issued for the construction o~ a residentia1 structure containing more than a one-fami1y unit in the R-2-A Zone District since 1963. Both o£ these units are on a 50 foot frontage and the permits were issued based on Board o f Adjustment and Appea1s action permitting a two-family use on a 50 ~oot rather than a 75 foot frontage . O ne o£ these is at 2784-2788 South Sherman Street, constructed in 1964, and the other is at 2820 South Sherman Street.

Of th1s 123 acres, there are apparent1Y on1y 10 two-£am11Y units on 75 foot, or more, frontage~ whi.1e 27 two -:Cami1Y units have been constructed on 1ess than th e minimum 75 ioot :Crontage . Almost sixty-one per- cent of the R -2 -A zone District is developed with si.ng1e-fami1y residentia1 uses, most of them on 50 :Coot frontages . As the o1der, sing1e -:Cami1Y units reach a stage where the cost of maintenance is such that the owner is of the opinion that a :Cair return on his :i.nvestment can no 'l..on ger be rea1ized or the cost to bring the structure up to Code is ex c e ssive, consideration is often g iven to rem oving th e struc~ure and. becau se of today•s hi g h cost of 1and, rep1acing it at a hi~her density. Through this process. a g radua1 redeve 1opment o£ the o1der areas o £ the City can take p1ace with an intermix o f sing1e-£ami1Y and medium dens ity units. A.f:t er con s idering the R-2-A Zone District as a who1e. the conc1usion E reached that it is not deve1oping a s it was intended and if those areas now zoned R -2 -A are desirab1e f or med ium-den si ty deve1opment . it is not going to be achieved I-q[~ I I It- under the present R -2 -A Zone District reg u1at:ions. Tb e R-2-B Zone District. on the other hand, has sho wn more active deve1opmeu~ where a two-fami1Y unir can be con- structed on a 50 foot frontage . It shou1d be no ted that the areas zoned for R-2-B use are a1so the ol...der areas :i..n the City . There are sev era 1 two-fami1Y uses in this b1ock at this time, s o the trend towa1·d the medium density has been establ...ished . By changing the zoning to R-2-B, those two- -fa.mi1Y uses not on 50 f:oot f:rontage wou1d be con'f:orm.ing and at 1 east two new ~wo-fami1Y units cou1d be ccnstructed.

The subject area has been zoned R-2-A, a two-£am11y residentia1 district, since 1955, yet, because of the re- quirements in that Zone District that a two-£ami1Y unit can be constructed on no 1ess than a 75 foot fronta ge, 14 of the 19 owners are prec1uded ~rom constructing a two- fami1Y unit, shou1d they desire to do so, beca u se they have 1ess than 75 foot frontage. 2. There are at 1east two existing two-fami1Y units within the subject area which wou1d conform to the minima1 re- quirements of 50 ~oot frontaFe as set forth in the R-2-B Zone District, which do not con~orm to the minima1 require- ments o£ 75 root frontage in the R-2-A Zone District. 3_ Further deve1opment o'£ at 1east one site within the area cou1d tnke p1ace were the zoning to be change d from R-2-A to R-2-B ... 4... There wou1d be a gre ater possibi1ity of redeve1opment of o1der, sing1e-fami.l..y units, at such time as such redeve1op- cent mny be necessary, were the area to be zoned R-2-B inasmuch as most of the ownerships are 50ft. rather than 75 'foot sites . 5. The present zoning does not permit the highest and best use o~ the 1and. It is ~urther recommended to the members of the P1anning and Zoning Commission, that consideration be given to reviewing a11 areas now zoned R -2 -A to determine whether or not this District shou1d be de1eted £rom the Zoning Ordinan ce and a11 areas now shown on the officia1 zoning map as R-2-A be rezoned to R-2-B, or to another appropriate zone district. -- JAMES L.
