The next matter before the Commission was the consideration and decision
on the Conifer 313 Development plans which had been the subject of a
detailed study by the Planning Cormission the previous ravening. Mr.
William Fletcher of the firm of Fletcher/Finch Associates, architects
of Portland was present to answer questions and explain the plan.
Mr. Fletcher was advised that informally the project had been denied
the previous evening for a variety of reasons. The particular points
mentioned as a basis for this action were the inadequate consideration
of the flood plain for Griffin Creek, too narrow street for proper
circulation of the potential traffic that would be generated. The
density proposed by the development as it relates to the inherant
problems of parking, traffic, and people was considered to not be in
the best interest of the City. It was pointed out that this project
would increase the population of the City by about 5 percent and
could represent almost a 20 percent increase on the area primary
school. Applying the provisions of City Ordinance No. 1.068; there
appeared little basis for Commission approval of the project. Dis-
cussion continued for approximately one hour after which on a motion
by McBee, seconded by Banks the project was denied under the provisions
of Ordinance No. 1068. Motion was carried by unanimous affirmative vote
of Commissionmembers present and voting.
The sketched plot plan revised of the proposed 24-unit development
bounded by Amy, Oak and Haskell Streets was presented for Commission
consideration and decision on the request to use the front yard
setback as a means of ingress and egress to the off-street parking
requirement. The sketch was presented for examination and the
implication of the request discussed. The- request was denied on a
motion by McMa.nama, seconded by Bradshaw and unanimous affirmative
vote of the Commissionmembers present.
On the telephone request to the City Administrator by Mrs. Tom Y'alot
the proposed plot plan for the five unit development on West Pine
Street adjacent to Griffin Creels was postponed to the November
meeting by common consent of the Commission.
The matter of-,Commission consideration and recommendation to the City
on the request of, Martha E. Krupp to annex property to the City with
the provision for zoning and a use,permit:to construct and operate 1
a mobile home park next came before the Commission. Two designs for
the construction; one consisting of 116 units, the other for 152
units was presented. A general discussion on the advisability of
mobile home park was held with Mr. Larry Horton of the engineering
firm of Marquess & Marquess who had designed the first plan, and
Reverend Russell Rea who indicated he would be the manager of the,
park if constructed, were invited to participate.
The conclusion reached from the discussion was that it appeared
advisable to table this matter until additional information could be
obtained from the Land Use Study presently being conducted with
assistance from the Federal Government and under the leadership of -
Mr. Curtis Weaver of the County Planning Staff. On a motion by
McBee, seconded by Banks this conclusion was adopted as a motion.
The Planning Commission will determine when this request would next
be considered and all interested parties advised. The motion carried
by a unanimous affirmative vote by Commissionmembers present.

Printed Circuits facility in .the 300 block of East Pine Street in
