neighborhood
Margaret Sperling, neighborhood planner, announces that the
Capitol Hill and Chessman Park Neighborhood Plans are completed
and were accepted by the Mayor recently.
Early in May, 1973* a 15 member citizens' advisory group was
formed to work with Ms. Sperling in the development of a
neighborhood plan.  This advisory board included representatives
from the major civic associations and interested groups in the
neighborhood.  The group participated in meetings which focused
on land use and zoning, transportation, environment, public
facilities and services and general socio-economic problems.
After initial preparation of the proposed plan, a larger
neighborhood meeting was held.  Suggestions and recommendations
were analyzed and integrated into the plan prior to presentation
to the Planning Board for adoption.  The purposes of the plans
are to provide an official guide to the future development of the
neighborhood for use by the Denver Planning Office, the Denver
Planning Board, the Mayor, the- City Council and other concerned
governmental agencies, residents, property owners and businessmen
of the community, private organizations concerned with planning
and neighborhood improvement, etc.  The plan will also provide
an officially approved reference to be used in connection with
action on various City development matters as required by law.
These plans represent guidelines for future planning and
development in our area.  They contain factual information about
the neighborhood and recommendations for change.  These plans do
not have the force of law and they need government commitment and
citizen action and follow-up to be effective.
These plans were approved by the Planning Board in November
and still have to be adopted by City Council.
Presently the Planning Staff is working on the Congress Park
Neighborhood Plan.  Citizen input is welcomed.
Citizens may get full copies of these plans by writing to
CHUN, P.O. Box 18575,- or the Denver Planning Office, c/o
Margaret Sperling.
Our special thanks and appreciation to Ms. Sperling for
her commitment and concern for our area. All of us who know
her realize that she does much more than her job "requires".
