Judkins Point Height Restrictions - The Planning Commission submitted a revised recommendation for amendment of the zoning ordinance for height limitation and sign regulation in the Judkins Point area as an interim plan until the City's new general plan and sign ordinance are adopted.

Those owning property along Franklin Boulevard objecting to the previously recommended restrictions were in agreement with this proposed amendment. It was suggested that a copy of the restrictions be sent to State agencies having buildings in the Judkins Point area.

A let- ter was read suggested by Councilwoman Lauris to be sent to the Sanitary Authority rather than the resolution. Considerable discussion took place with regard to the economic benefits of establishment of the plant in this area and whether the Sanitary Authority can gain strict control of probable water and air pollution resulting there- from. It was suggested that the Air Quality Control Officer be asked to express his opinion because of the technical nature of the problem. Mr. Anderso n moved 'seconded by Mr. McDonald to amend the resolution to be sent to tre Sanitary Authority to read ~'. . . approval of what can be considered adequate measures..." instead of "... approval of proposed adequate measures.... " Motion carried. It was understood the Air Quality Control officer would be present at the Sanitary Authority hearings on August 29 and report back to the Council if in his opinion strict control of water and air pollution is not stressed as a part of consideration of American Cants request for permit to construct the plant. I Councilman Anderson said he intended the change in the resolution supporting American Can to read " ...approval of what we consider to be adequate measures. .." instead of ".. . approval of what can be considered adequate measures.... " Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Anderson to approve the resolution as amended. Betty Niven, Planning Commission member, reported on the points brought out in the hearing before the Sanitary Authority earlier in the day. e The City Manager distributed copies of the Community Goals Conference statement with regard to air and water pollution, and read a resolution suggested by Mrs. Niven as a substitute for the one before the Council. He said the Air Quality Control Officer was not prepared to comment from the standpoint of technical recommendations. Councilman Wingard said he felt a decision could not be made without expert help, and Councilwoman Lauris expressed the opinion that industry must demonstrate control of air and water pollution, that it will not be done unless communities insist upon it. Councilman Anderson asked i.f the words "...hopes to be able to support..." in the suggest substitute resolution could be changed to "... will support... '! if questions raised in the hearing were answered by the State Sanitary Authority. The City Manager said that in light of some v.ery important questions raised, probably a statement of the Council's stand could be sent to the Authority, giving time for answers to be found before adoption of a resolution.

It was understood a statement m the effect of the proposed resolution would be directed to the State Sanitary Authority. / 4 S.
