two more parking spaces at the north side of the property by the tanks. Mr.

Chairman Ellard pointed out that the right-turn-only egress onto Pine Street
should be signed clearly. Mr. Moran stated that they would have no objections to
the signing and that most people coming into their station are traveling north.
Public Works Director Blanchard explained that the double yellow striping at the
intersection prevents left turns. He also stated that some other designs could be
incorporated into the intersection for this reason in addition to the signing.
Commissioner Gilmour asked how many employees will work at the station/store at
one time. Mr. Moran stated that at the most three would be working and always two.
Councilmember Dick Halley, 463 North Sixth Street, Central Point, came forward.
He asked if there would be enough distance between Pine Street and the pumps for
large trucks to pull in completely without blocking traffic on Pine Street. Mr.
Moran stated that there would be 50 to 60 feet which would accommodate large
trucks with trailers. Mr. Moran also stated that there would be 19 feet between
the front of the store and the canopy allowing enough room to get to the first
parking space. Councilmember Halley explained that he had observed a truck access
problem at the site blocking traffic ,and wanted to be sure that it would not con-
tinue to be a problem with the new facility.
No one else came forward to speak in favor of or against the variance request.
Chairman Ellard closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Piland made a motion to pass Resolution No. 133, A Resolution Adopt-
ing Findings and Conclusions and Approving the Variance of Robert W. Hays and

Mr. Moran stated that he and his partner feel their plan is workable and said
there may be some minor adjustments later such as the angling of the island and
pump canopy. The store could.be built somewhat smaller but the current plan is
for the store to be ever 2,000 square feet. There are things that have not been
determined yet such as whether or not they will be getting into the video busi-
TIOSS. The store will definitely be located in the back corner of the property.

Public Meeting - Site plan review for a physical therapy clinic at 512 Manzanita
Street in a C-2 zone (37 2W 2CC tax lot 1900) submitted by Bill Eberling
Mr. Kualer summarized his staff report dated February 22, 1988 and listed the
following exhibits for the record: Exhibit A - Notice of Public Meeting; Exhibit
B - Certificate of Posting of Notice of Public Meeting; Exhibit C Application
for Site Plan Approval; Exhibit D - Site plan (separate document) ; Exhibit E - Tax
Assessor's map; and Exhibit F - Aerial map. Mr. Kugler added that Mr. Eberling
would like to use the improved alley behind his property for parking his personal
i vehicle. Mr. Kugler advised Mr. Eberling that this would be in violation of Cen-
tral Point Municipal Code which states that manuevering vehicles in a public
right-of-way must not be prevented.
Commissioner Gilmour declared a conflict of interest in the matter and excused
himself. Commissioner Hugo stated that she insures the building and the Commis-
sioners agreed that this would not constitute a conflict of interest. There were
no other conflicts declared and Chairman Ellard opened the public meeting. Bill
Eberling, 727 Sandra Lane, Central Point, came forward.
The Commissioners reviewed the site plan. Chairman Ellard asked why Mr. Eberling
is requesting additional parking in the alley. Mr. Eberling stated that he does
not feel the parking of his vehicle in the alley will prevent maneuvering there
because there is ample room. Also, if his vehicle is parked there, it will leave
an additional space in the customer parking area. He stated his car would remain
parked for approximately 12 hours a day. There will be a back entrance to his
building and parking in the alley would allow him separate access.
' Commissioner Hugo stated that she does not see a problem with Mr. Eberling parking
his personal vehicle in the alley. She added that if it were her place of busi-
ness, she could like private parking with the ability to enter the building from
the back. Chairman Ellard stated that he is not in favor of allowing the alley
parking because it would be setting a precedent by allowing something explicity
prohibited in the Municipal Code. Mr. Eberling stated that nine vehicles present-
ly use the alley to access parking spaces. Commissioner Piland asked if it is a

full alley. Mr. Kugler stated that it is 20 feet wide and people are parking
there now; the question is whether or not the Commission wants to formally approve
it.
Commissioner Piland stated that there is now a sidewalk on the Fifth Street side
of the property. Mr. Eberling stated that there are sidewalks on Manzanita and on
Fifth Street by the church.
No one else came forward to speak in favor of or against the site plan and Chair-
man Ellard closed the public meeting.
Commissioner Piland asked what type and how many employees Mr. Eberling plans to
retain. Mr. Eberling stated there would be himself and a receptionist initially
with the possible addition of another therapist in the future.
Commissioner Bitterling stated that she is not in favor of allowing the alley
parking and setting a precedent. Commissioner Piland agreed stating that he would
be totally against allowing alley parking.
Commissioner Piland made a motion to approve the site plan for a physical therapy
clinic to be located at 512 Manzanita Street submitted by Bill Eberling subject to
the conditions and requirements of the Public Works Director as outlined in his
staff report dated February 22, 1988, and with the added condition that the area
adjacent to the alley on Fifth Street be landscaped. Commissioner Bitterling
seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Bitterling, yes; Gilmour, excused; Hugo,
no; Piland, yes. The majority of the Commissioners voted in favor of the motion
and the motion carried.

and retail business to be constructed at 810 South Poont Street in a C-5 zone i37

Co.
Mr. Kugler summarized his staff report dated February 23, 1988 and listed the
following exhibits for the record: Exhibit A - Notice of Public Hearing; Exhibit
B - Certificate of Posting of Notice of Public Hearing; Exhibit C - Application

were no other conflicts expressed by the Commissioners and Chairman Ellard opened
the public hearing. Bill Weide, 1801 Grandview, Medford, came forward represent-
ing Kottke Plumbing and Remodeling. He is an employee of the company and gave a '
demonstration on how the product is made and used.
Chairman Ellard asked how volatile and flammable the product is. Mr. Weide ex-
plained that the gel coat produces fumes when sprayed. During the drying process,
it is not that volatile. The liquid and sand mixture would be difficult to

ignite. Chairman Ellard asked if the odor would carry for any distance. Mr.
Weide stated that there is definitelylan odor during the spraying stage and the
exhaust is vented through 20-foot tall stacks. It takes two minutes to spray a 5'
x 12' table. In regard to dust, Mr. Weide stated that the product is 80 percent
sand which is "dusty" to a point. Flying sand is confined within the booth and
never actually turns to dust. Commissioner Gilmour asked if the fumes would
travel very far. Mr. Weide replied that he honestly does not know but they have
not received any complaints from their neighbors where the business is presently
located on Oak Drive.
Fire Chief/Building Official Mark Servatius stated that this is an approved system
that meets the requirements of the Uniform Fire and Building Codes. It has a self-
contained and sophisticated venting system with fire walls. Mr. Servatius added
that it is basically the same conceptlas a car spray painting booth. He stated
that the sanding booth also contains the siame type of filtering system for dust
and send particles.
Commissioner Gilmour asked what type of i precautions are taken for employees. Mr.
Weide stated that an eye-wash sink and respirators are provided. Commissioner
Gilmour expressed his concern about odor. Mr. Weide stated that they could refer
to a similar business on South Front Street which has been in operation for 15
years.
No one else came forward to speak in favor
iof or against the conditional use appli-
cation and Chairman Ellard closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Gilmour made a motion to approve Resolution No. 134, A Resolution

Public Hearing - Conditional use application for a dwelling group at the intersec-
tion of Scenic Avenue and Upton Road in an R-2 zone (37 21V 3AB tax lot 48001
submitted by Maurice Bercot
Mr. Kugler summarized his staff report dated February 22, 1988 and listed the
following exhibits for the record: Exhibit A - Notice of Public Hearing; Exhibit
B - Certificate of Posting of Notice of Public Hearing; Exhibit C - Application
for Conditional Use Permit; Exhibit D - Legal description; Exhibit E - Plot plan
(separate document) ; Exhibit F - Public Works Director's staff report; Exhibit C -
Tax Assessor's map; and Exhibit H - Aerial map. Mr. Kugler explained that tna
City does not have a lot of history on this type of development. He referred .,
lot size requirements for The Meadows Planned Unit Development and a five-duplex
development approved on Beall Lane for comparison purposes. Mr. Bercot plans to
develop the property in stages. Mr. Kugler explained that a resolution with find-
ings and conclusions has not been prepared as it will depend on the minimum lot
size requirement establised by the Planning commission.
There were no conflicts of interest expressed by the Commissioners and Chairman
Ellard opened the public hearing. Maurice Bercot, 5323 South Sixth Street,
Klamath Falls, came forward.
Chairman Ellard stated that there could be some changes to the intersection of
Scenic and Upton in the future. He also stated that the proposed 3,000 square-
foot minimum-sized lots would create a density that would be too great for that
area. Chairman Ellard stated that he would be more in favor of at least 5,000
s?t.are-foot lots. Commissioner Gilmour expressed his concern about emergency
access within the development. if the lots are only 3,000 square feet. Chairman
Ellard added that ingress and egress to the property would be limited. Commission-
er Piland agreed that 3,000 square-foot lots would not be appropriate as the densi-
ty would be too high for that rural part of town and stated that he is also in
favor of 5,000 square-foot lots.

Mr. Bercot stated that he would like to develop 13 Lots (3,000 square feet in
size) or as many as possible. He stated that he plans to take three to five years
to completely develop the project. By that time, he realizes the Scenic and Upton
intersection may be different. He stated that all over Oregon apartment buildings
are being built with more units in smaller structures and the amount of units he
is proposing would not be a problem in an apartment building. Mr. Bercot added
that he feels lower income people should be able to rent a house and lot.
Chairman Ellard asked if there may be a workable method in which he could increase
the lot sizes to 5,000 square feet. Mr. Bercot stated that he would have to re-
work his conceptual plan in order to tell. His intent was to have all the units
on one level for handicapped tenants but he may have to build some two-story struc-
tures in order to have the number of units he wants on larger lots. He has until
April 2, 1488 to decide whether or not to purchase the property. Commissioner
Piland added that it would be difficult for Mr. Bercot to comply with setback
requirments with 3,000 square-foot lots.
No one else came forward to speak in favor of or against the conditional use appli-
cation and Chairman Ellard closed the public hearing.
Discussion followed regarding access to the development with Mr. Kugler explaining
that the original conceptual plan has been changed.
Commissioner . Piland asked about the parking area for the tenants. Mr. Kugler ex-
plained that it is to discourage people from parking on the right-of-way. Chair-
man Ellard pointed out that details would be discussed during a site plan review.
Commissioner Piland stated that allowances should be made for offstreet visitor
and recreational vehicle parking.
Chairman Ellard asked if the proposed culdesac arrangement would have a negative
effect on emergency access. Fire Chief Servatius stated there would only be a
problem if people parked in the culdesac causing the repositioning of fire equip-
ment to be difficult. He also stated that fire spreading may be a problem if the
dwellings are built too close together.
Commissioner Piland made a motion to approve the conditional use permit applica-
tion for a dwelling group to be developed at the intersection of Scenic Avenue and
Upton Road submitted by Maurice Bercot subject to the recommendations of the Pub-
lic Works Director as outlined in his staff report dated February 22, 1988, and
with the condition that the lots be a minimum of 5,000 square feet. Commissioner
Bitterling seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Bitterling, yes; Gilmour, yes;
Hugo, yes; Piland, yes. All of the Commissioners voted in favor of the motion and
the motion carried.

There were no conflicts of interest expressed by the Planning Commission and Chair-
" man Ellard opened the public hearing. Tom Malot, 525 Renee Circle, Central Point,
came forward along with Dennis Hoffbuhr, Surveyor, 219 North Oakdale, Medford.
The Commission reviewed copies of the utility layout which Mr. Hoffbuhr de-
scribed. Mr. Malot stated that 8,000 square-foot lots are planned because that
seems to be the density people are interested in now. The design of the subdivi-
sion is somewhat different from the Jackson County Neighborhood Development Plan
a approved earlier by the Planning Commission. All the same opportunities exist for
;j circulation in the current plan with two streets venting to the east and one to
the south. Only the configuration of the current plan is different. Elk Farms
currently owns some of the property through which Mr. Malot plans to extend.
Chairman Ellard asked which land Mr. Malot plans to dedicate for a park. Mr.
Hoffbuhr stated that they plan to dedicate a 60' x 350' strip of land (approximat-
ely 1/2 acre) indicated on the utility layout.
Mr. Kugler clarified the statement in the Public Works Director's staff report
dated February 25, 1988 (Exhibit E, page 1, last paragraph) to state that the City
reserves the right to ask for additional right-of-way and roadway as a result of
the traffic analysis indicating increased traffic volume requiring the local
street to be upgraded to a collector street.
Mr. Hoffbuhr stated that 42 lots are proposed for the development. Mr. 'Ia_ot
stated that the land is presently used for farming but is designated by the Cfz•
for urbanization.
Commissioner Piland asked if the 60' x 350' strip of land designated for park area
would meet the park dedication requirements. Mr. Kugler stated that more staff re-
search is needed to determine how much the property is worth in order to see if it
will be feasible for park dedication. Commissioner Bitterling asked who will take
care of the park. Mr. Kugler stated that it will be the City's responsibility.
Public Works Director Blanchard stated that in the area of park inventory, the
City is shy on park land and that is why the requirement for park land or fee was
created. He continued that the City now has three neighborhood parks that do not
involve a lot of acreage.
No one else came forward to speak in favor of the preliminary plat.
Curt Johnson, 1492 Beall Lane, Central Point, came forward representing his par-
ents, F. Lee and Aisne Johnson, who own property at 3436 Hanley Road, Central
Point. He read his letter dated March 1, 1988 giving a background on the property
and the concerns of his parents about the street design of this proposed develop-
ment. The street design propose3 will not provide access to their property and

they would be prefer that the streets be developed according to the Jackson Creek
Neighborhood Development Plan.
Commissioner Bitterling made a motion to call a recess. Commissioner Gilmour
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor of the motion and the
motion carried. A recess was called at 9: 15 p.m. Chairman Ellard called the
meeting back to order at 9:25 p.m.
The Commissioners reviewed maps to familiarize themselves with the Johnsons' prop-
erty and their concerns as they relate to the proposed development. Mr. Blanchard
explained the proposed street design to the Commission. Chairman Ellard added
that the Jackson Creek Neighborhood Development Plan is conceptual to be used as a
guideline and not a definite plan for future development. He also stated that a
study was done recently regarding creek bridging in that area which determined it
would not be feasible, and bridging would be neccessary to access the subdivision
from the west. It was suggested that the development of a street connecting to
Brandon Street may be a means to access the Johnsons' property in the future.
These matters will be discussed in greater detail during the final plat review.
No one else came forward to speak against the preliminary plat. Chairman Ellard
closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Piland made a motion to pass Resolution No. 135, A Resolution Adopt-
ing Findings and Conclusions and Recommending Approval of the Preliminary Plat for
Jackson Creek I, A Subdivision Located at the End of Brandon and Vincent Streets,
and to amend #4 of Exhibit A to include the word "roadway" in the sentence that
reads, "The City reserves the right to ask for additional right-of-way and road-
, way as a result of the traffic analysis indicating increased traffic volume re-
quiring the local street to be upgraded to a collector street. " Commissioner
Gilmour seconded the motion. Roll vote: Bitterling, yes; Gilmour, yes; Hugo,
yes; Piland, yes. All of the Commissioners voted in favor of the motion and the
motion carried.
Discussion on site plan review procedure
Mr. Kugler summarized his staff report dated February 22, 1988 and the Commission
reviewed and discussed the list of options outlined therein. The Commission decid-
ed that site plans should be reviewed at staff level except for commercial develop-
ments containing more than 2,000 square feet, all industrial developments, and
multi-family residences. It was also decided that staff would have the option of
referring any site plan to the Planning Commission that is considered discretion-
ary. In addition, applicants would have the option of appealing staff decisions
to the Planning Commission. This information will be submitted to Wes Reynolds to
draft a document for final review.
