The Planning Commission meeting was called to order by Acting Chairman Ben McManama in the absence of Chairman Don Banks . Roll call found the following members present : Loveland, Emery, Mann , Hillyer and Zander . Absent being Banks , McDowell and Waldron . The minute. of June 15 , 1976 were presented for approval . Motion was made by Zander, seconded by Hillyer to approve the minutes as presented . All in favor, motion carried. Mr. Rob Collins , representing Mt. Pitt Co . , regarding abandonment of right-of-way , Jackson County Account No . 37-2W-10AB , was recognized and came forth . Mr . Collins said that if they were going to build the warehouses there might be the possibility of acquiring 40 feet of land that is owned by Southern Pacific on this side of Amy Street . He said a question was raised as to whether his company might in turn acquire Amy Street and the alleys from the City in exchange for building a road down the middle of that block which would serve as the proposed warehouses . Mr . Collins said if they had access right to the track they would build a different kind of warehouse which would appeal to a different kind of warehouse customer . Mr . Collins said he has already talked with Southern Pacific officials and they are probably willing to sell the property subject to the ideas that this will go ahead. This would involve the City ' s approval of any street changes and a commitment from Mt . Pitt that they would proceed with the construction of the buildings . The property as it now stands is all owned by Mt . Pitt Co . Amy Street is a 20 foot street . Mr . Collins said that none of the streets or alleys are particularly maintained by the City . He stated that if his company is really going to see this through they should try to come to the City with a solution to solve Manzanita and all the alleys and Amy Street all in one package assuming there would be the kind of street the City wanted down the middle of the block in exchange. Mr . Collins said the 1st building they are proposing will cost approx- imately 1/4 million dollars . That is separate from the fencing and paving . Acting Chairman McManama asked City Adm . Young if he had anything he would like to add to the discussion . City Adm. Young explained the process that would have to be taken in regards of abandonment of street right-of-way . This would call for a public hearing before the City Council . City Adm. Young said this would be a recommendation that would have to be submitted at the time that Mr. Collins requests the City Council for a public hearing on the matter. At this time it is really an acquaintance for the Planning Commission to a possible request . City Adm. Young said that the area is presently zoned M-2 and warehousing is a permitted use in that zone. City Adm. Young said the present matter that should be con- sidered by the Commission is the abandonment and the planning of transportation facilities within the City and what the Commission would recommend for future right-of-ways to the City Council . , Discussion was held.

Young said that during the planning process for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan one of the comments received from LCDC was that we did not have a major- minor partition ordinance. In looking at state law we are required to have a partition ordinance. In the ordinance the filing fee would be $40 . City Adm . Young said the Planning Commission would have the authority to make sure any major or minor partitioning complied with zoning and subdivision ordinances along with the City ' s Comprehensive Land Use Plan . Included in the partition ordinance is a section that prohibits flag lots . The City Planning Commission and Council would have the right of variance or to consider any extraordinary requirements that might come up . There is a penalty 'clause within the ordinance.

City Adm . Young said that under the ordinance in an R-1-6 zone, the front setback from the property line to the front foundation line of the building of a single-family dwelling would be 20 feet . In 1965 the Planning Commission and City Council had a request brought before them for a subdivision on the south side of Ash. In the negotiations the City acquired the right-of-way in exchange for a variance for the south side of Ash Street which would allow single-family dwellings a 10 foot setback from the property line instead of 20 feet on the required right-of-way. Acting Chairman McManama opened the public hearing . McManama asked if there was anyone for this . Duane Hutchins , owner, was recognized and came forth .
