Kendall Ford Rezoning - The Planning Commission, at a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City Council, reaffirmed its previous recommeridation, and stated it felt the Updated Willakenzie Plan is still valid, since there have been no changes to substantiate a need for additional commercial land. The City Manager explained that the Council has been asked for a recommendation at this time, since the County Commissioners have 'informed him that they rescheduled their hearing to' January 24', 1969 at 10:00 a'.m: and have asked to have action of the City Council before that time. The Council viewed the area this morning. The Manager read a letter of objection from Mr. John R. AXtell, a resident of the Willa- kenzie area. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Council approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding rezoning of the Chase property. Councilman Teague said he thinks Kendall Ford needs help, and that this'proper~y would be ideal for such a dealership. Mr. Gribskov agreed that the property would be ideal for such a use, Council should consider protection of adjacent residential property. allowed here, what is to stop it from spEeading to other property in but felt that the If commercial is ,the area. Mrs. Hayward agreed with Mr. Teague that Kendall Ford is a good citizen and should be helped, but also felt that residential property in. the area should be protected. The Council should assist them to find another location. The Planning Director explained the basis of the Planning Commillssion decision, based on the Interim Willakenzie Plan, and that this plan does not show this area for future commercial development. If one rezoning is granted, there is no basis for not granting other requests in the area. Dr. Purdy thought the problem was stated by the Chairman of the Lane County Planning Commission when ;he said it was his opinion the area north of Coburg Road should be commercial. Actually, this is what would happen if this rezoning was allowed. Dr. Purdy recommended that the County attach a requirement that this area be annexed if this rezoning is allowed. Mr. DeMartini asked if this would be on the basis of service available. r Mr. Hoffman, attorney representing Dale Fisher, opposed this rezoning, and stated that the roning problem remains the same. A revised site plan has been present~~, but this does not alter the original problem. They had asked for a twenty-two acre site,. far in excess of the land needed. Mr. Hoffman said it was a tragedy that a group of non-residents'could create a problem and the city would have to live with it. He said he'thought this group should be concerned with government problems involved, and the best interest for the greatest number of people. Mayor Anderson said this expression of the County Commissioners was a step toward good government, since they had asked for an opinion from the City. ' ~r. DeMartini asked to seLthe record straight that they had requested only seventeen acres for commercial zoning, and that they felt this amount was necessary for their development. Planning Commission member James Pearsan asked that the Council consider that Dr. Purdy's suggestion might create a permissive attitude, and that it would be preferable that the Council just indicate to the County Commission that they are against rezoning and wait until they have made their decision before advocating annexation. 2/3/69 - 6 ~
