Item 9 on page 29, Wetlands; This was included in Phase 8. Jim Bennett stated that the wetlands condition deals with the requirements of the Division of State Lands.

MISCELLANEOUS Jim Bennett stated that Oregon State Police Crime Lab application will be coming back to Planning Commission for review of the site plan. Another application has been received for the southern half of the parcel and that is for the construction of a labor headquarters to represent a number of different unions. They are proposing to rezone to C-5 and apply for a conditional use permit. The area immediately to the south is the Pacific Power substation and a vacant piece. The Planning Department proposes to rezone the whole area to C-5 rather than do a spot rezoning. This rezoning will not effect the OSP Crime Lab since they already have their conditional use permit. The Commission instructed Jim to bring this back to them as a resolution of intent. Commissioner Dunlap stated that the sidewalk outside the Meadows on Mingus Creek should have a guardrail. The Commission instructed Jim Bennett to talk to Paul Worth, Public Works Department concerning this area. - A discussion was held on the letter from Mr. Glen Brady, 1162 Marilee Street, Central Point, OR. concerning the acquiring of park lands.
