<br />Some discussion took place with Mrs. Niven, Planning Commission chairman, explaining
<br />the City Commission's action in recommending denial. Also, the City Manager said an
<br />informal meeting had been held between auto dealers, the County, and the City with
<br />respect to locating areas which would be acceptable to the auto dealers, but there was
<br />very little progress. No action was taken. It was understood the item could be con-
<br />sidered at a joint meeting of the City Planning Commission and Council in the near future.

<br />Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris that Item 2 of the Committee report be received and filed.

<br />3. Amazon Parkway Access, Rubenstein - The Planning Commission re.quested a meeting with
<br />the Councilto discuss the request for access from the Amazon Parkway to property be-
<br />tween Pearl and Willamette south of 24th Avenue. The Planning Commission opposes
<br />granting the access; the Council has indicated it would favor the overall plan pre-
<br />sented by the architects and planners for the project.
<br />
<br />Wallace Swanson, Council member at the time the Amazon Parkway was created, reminded
<br />the Council of the difficulty encountered in accomplishing the limited access road and
<br />stressed the need for retaining limited access. Mrs. Niven also objected to granting
<br />access from the street on the basis of safety hazards. She also cited the definition
<br />of limited access given by Howard Buford, Central Lane Planning Council planning di-
<br />rector, as limited for public access, if private access is given then standards would
<br />be difficult to set. The City Manager said if it is decided to grant access, it would
<br />be under contractual arrangement so that should traffic increase to the point where
<br />access becomes undesirable, the access couid be removed.

<br />Otto Poticha, architect, again explained the proposed development and the reasons for
<br />their requesting access from the Parkway. The Public Works Director said other than
<br />traffic problems had been taken into consideration in designing the access, engineer-
<br />ing shows it is technically possibl~, and the reason no recommendation is made from
<br />his Department is because whether access is granted is a policy decision to be made by
<br />the Council.
