There were no conflicts of interest expressed by the Commissioners. Chairman Ellard opened the public meeting. The applicant, Maurice Bercot, 5323 South Sixth Street, Klamath Falls, came forward. He asked if the sidewalk requirement would be for both Maple and Eighth Streets. Chairman Ellard stated that it would. Mr. Bercot asked if the sidewalk requirement could be waived in favor of constructing them at a later time under a local improvement district. Chairman Ellard explained that that is sometimes an option depending on the decision of the Planning Commission based on present sidewalk development in the area. Mr. Bercot stated that he had no problem with constructing the sidewalks now as they may be less expen- sive than landscaping the area. There was no one else present to speak in favor of or against the site plan and Chairman Ellard closed the public meeting. Chairman Ellard stated that it is his preference to see the sidewalks put in now along with the development because there are other sidewalks close by and it would be an improvement that is needed in the area. The other Commissioners agreed. Chairman Piland made a motion to approve the site plan submitted by Maurice Bercot subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report dated October 2, 1987, for a duplex residential structure to be located at the southwest corner of North Eighth and Maple Streets, Central Point, in an R-2 zone, on property further described as Jackson County Tax Assessor's Map Page 37 2W 2CB, Tax Lot 3400.
