<br />COMMITTEE REPORTS
<br />Committee meeting held July 20, 1967:
<br />
<br />"Present: Mayor Cone; Councilmen Purdy, Lauris, Anderson, Lassen, McDonald, and Wingard;
<br />City Manager and staff; and others.
<br />
<br />411 3 '1. Danebo Swimming Pool - The Parks and Recreation Director and Jon Berry, architect, pre-
<br />sented schematic drawings of the proposed Danebo swimming pool to be located adjacent
<br />to Willamette High School. The design is for a 50-meter pool which will accommodate
<br />National swim meets. One end of the pool will be covered, and a movable bulkhead will
<br />separate the enclosed and open areas when the entire length is not in use, thus providing
<br />several teaching stations, two diving areas, and ample swimming areas. A spectator
<br />I balcony is planned for the entire length. The anticipated cost. of the pool as designed
<br />will come within the budgeted amount of $460,000, and estimated operational cost is
<br />comparable to that for Sheldon pool, except for a slight increase in personnel. Members
<br />of the ad hoc committee appointed to work with the architects and the Parks Department,
<br />were present and recommended acceptance of the proposed design. . The Parks Director said
<br />that bids could probably be called before January 1968. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by
<br />Dr. Purdy to accept the schematic plan and concept as presented for a 50-meter pool.
<br />Motion carried.
<br />
<br />Some discussion was held with regard to the depth of the shallow areas in the proposed pool. Council-
<br />man Lassen expressed concern about the safety of very small children using the pool. Jon Berry,
<br />architect, and Jerry O'Malley, member of the ad hoc committee, explained the 3~-foot shallow depth is
<br />necessary for turns in competitive swimming. The Parks and Recreation Director said very small. child-
<br />ren would use wading pools, and that a wading pool no doubt would be included in some future park in
<br />the Danebo area. It was estimated a wading pool would cost about $15,000.
<br />
<br />Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Anderson to approve Item 1 of the committee report. Motion carried.
<br />
<br />4 2. Planning Commission Report - July 5. 1967
<br />a. Rezone to C-3P. Willamette and Donald at 32nd.Hirons - The Planning Commission
<br />recommended denial. Betty Niven, Planning Commission member, explained the Com-
<br />mission's policy of not discussing. rezoning issues individually either with appli-
<br />cants or those opposed to specific rezoning petitions. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded
<br />by Mr. McDonald to grant a variance to allow operation of a retail garden center
<br />I on the property for which C-3P zoning is requested.
<br />
<br />John Hirons, petitioner, and Darrell Smith, architect, gave their views on general
<br />need for such an establishment at this location and or resulting traffic likely to
<br />be generated. Mr. Hirons said he would anticipate assuming the entire cost of im-
<br />provement of the alley running from Wi1lamette to Donald from which access to the
<br />proposed garden center would be taken. Signs were mentioned, and it was generally
<br />agreed any restriction could be placed on signs, as well as ensuring payment for
<br />~ alley improveme~t, through a variance agreement. Vince Farina, Planning Commission
<br />~ chairman, upheld the Commission's recommendation for denial based on the contention
<br />t'hat ample'G':'3P zeD.ing e:xists on Willamette north of 29th Avenue, and rezoning this
<br />particular area would infringe upon the residential area. The Planning Director
<br />read a memo from the Central Lane Planning Council recommending denial of commercial
<br />zoning.
<br />
<br />A vote was taken on the motion to grant a variance, and motion carried, Councilmen
<br />Purdy and Lassen voting no; Councilman Wingard abstaining.
<br />
<br />Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Anderson to approve Item 2a of the Committee report. Motion carried,
<br />Councilmen Purdy and Lassen voting no.
<br />
<br />Councilman Wingard explained his abstention in the Committee action. He said he would rather see the
<br />item referred back to the Planning Commission rather than granting a variance to gain referral to a
<br />joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Council, which is automatic when the Council does not
<br />I approve a Planning Commission recommendation.
<br />
<br />5 b. Rezone to R-3PD. west side of Oak Patch Road between 15th and 18th. Chowning,- The
<br />Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning which would allow a planned
<br />unit development of 134 units. Noble Chowning presented a sketch of the proposed'
<br />development and explained the general concept. The Public Works Director said the
<br />sewer design for this area was based on 12 people per acre, whereas this planped
<br />development anticipates 57 people per acre. A lengthy discussion followed concern-
<br />ing sewer planning based on density of areas as now zoned or on higher densities,
<br />4Il and possible change in policy concerning reassessing for reconstruction or expansion
