Mr. E.C. Brittsen, Builder, and representing Todd Coffee, was recognized
by the Chair. Commissioner Emery asked- him if this was still the part time
business that was approved a few months ago. Mr. Brittsen stated that it
.was. Commissioner Emery stated that before going any further tonight, he
would like to establish the use as to whether this is a conditional use or
a ,home occupation. Chairman Banks stated he would suggest putting this off
to a study session. Commissioner Zander said the City Building Dept. should
go down and review this plan on site. Chairman Banks said that the City
Staff should check this out real close and have Mr. Todd present at the
January 20th meeting to discuss and answer any questions that might arise.
Commissioner Zander read Section 17.76.040, Page 270, Municipal Code regarding
findings and .conditions in granting a conditional use permit. Lengthy
discussion followed. Motion was made by 'Lander, seconded by Loveland to table
this until the January 20th meeting along with a Staff report. With all in
favor, motion carried. Commissioner McDowell=made a second motion that the
Staff be given specific .directions.as to what: they >should report to the
Planning Commission. (1) Will this meet the requirements as outlined in the
ordinances as a home occupation? What I would like the Attorney to do at the
January 20th meeting is to give us an opinion as to whether the new ordinance
(LC-LI) would preclude the use in this manner. At this time we will know
whether the ordinance is effective or not. Commission Emery added that the
amount extended on this building exceeds the amount of the residential area
and I would like to know what impact this would have on the conditional usage
that Mr. Todd has right now. Zander seconded the motion. With all in favor,
motion carried.
Mr. J. Bates, representing Allen-Wayne Construction, was recognized by the
Commission. Mr. Bates stated that Allen-Wayne would like to purchase the
building for storage purposes. The building has been used by Mr. Wiley' s
construction company for storage. There would be no outside storage.
Everything would be stored inside the building. At the present time Allen-
Wayne Construction has in earnest money with Wiley Construction to purchase
the building and property to be used in the same manes as it is being used
now. The building has been at 2nd and Cherry for some time and was existing
prior to the zoning (r-3) at the present time. Allen-Wayne Construction does
have plans to utilize the property on the corner for a duplex or triplex.
The plans are in the process. The existing property that is left on the corner
is 100 X 50 ft., and according to the code, is ample space for at least a duplex.
Mr. Bates said that the property is useless for the price Mr. Wiley is asking.
If you wipe the building out the value of the property is worth approximately
' $3,500. Mr. Bates stressed that they have a definite plan for the property on
the corner for a duplex or triplex which is definitely in their plans.
Commissioner Zander said that he would like to comment .on Mr. Bates'
earlier comments regarding the environment *of the area. ,
(1) Clean up of -the lumber and storage, scaffolding, tile and concrete
forms was only done by neighborhood petition a few years ago to
eliminate the conditions of rate, spiders and skunks..
(2) It is a residential area;
(3) Section 17.28.030 does not include storage, repair yards, corporation
yards, warehouses, etc.
Mr. Bates stated that he understands the conditional- use under Section 120
of the same code states that the conditional use is -transferrablet and if he
is not mistaken, the conditional use has not been revoked by the City of
Central Point Planning Commission or Council to this date: He stated that at
this time there is a valid usage occupence 'for-the building and it is trans-
ferrable upon the transfer of'ownership. -Chairman :Bank& said. that it is an
interrupted use and when-a use has been interrupted, it has been cancelled.
Commissioner Emery asked.Mr. Bates if the building would be there permanently
or would it be torn down after the duplex or triplex is built. Mr. Bates-
responded-by saying they-ae willing at such time as they petition the City
or apply for a building 'permit to construct a duplex or'triplex that if it
is the Cityle'wish.to tear down the building then they will. There was a
request for a public hearing .to be held at the January 20th meeting.
Chairman Banks requested that this issue be tabled until- the next meeting
and to have Attorney Carter present along with other interested parties. '
Motion was made by Zander,. seconded by Loveland •to continue this at our next
regular meeting... With all in favor,motion carried.
With no further business to be brought before.the Commission, motion was made
by Emery, seconded by McManama to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
