r 751 e I 12/27/71 - 'r I " II \' I " poles would be as high as a five story building. " Manager pointed out that the streets being discussed are peripheral streets, designed for cars, and the lighting should be considered in that regard, with consideration for additional lighting of alleys and parking lots. In answer to Mr. Teague, Manager said there will be consiclerable light going into alleys from the 60' poles. Other lighting will be added as required. The parking lots are temporary facilities. Mr. Williams asked whether the number of lights per pole could be reduced, and what the impact would be on the light level. If more light was required in the future, coul<f. additiQnal lights be added? Traffic Engineer said the number had been reduced, and that additional lights could be added. He could not answer what the cost factor would be. Mrs. Campbell said she had become convin'ced more light was pretty important. She person- ally favored the idea of less light in the downtown, but could see the importance of e the high level lights on the periphery. Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to accept the recommendation of the administration and approve Plan No. 1 for high level lights. Motion carried unanimously. B.

Zone Change Not Recommended a) Howard Gibsonr, northeast corner 40th and Donald, R-l to C-l Mr. Howard Gibson had requested this rezoning to allow a small grocery store on the corner. Planning Commission had not felt rezoning would be proper. I Mr. Howard Gibson, Junction City, asked to appeal the Planning Commission rec- commendation. He said the property was no longer usable as residential, since there were service stations and other commercial outlets in the area. He explained plans for the building and that it would be screened from other residences in the area. He said they had no intention to use the property for other than a Dari-Mart store. Phyllis Early, 3945 Mill Street, said requests had been made since 1968 to rezone this ]T'operty. Residents of the neighborhood felt there,was plenty of commercial property in the area and that similar lots across the street have I recently been developed with duplexes. " Mrs. Betty Niven said the Planning Commission was not happy about large commercial ,I areas in single ownership, but the present trend is to such establishments. The Planning Commission had not felt commercial zoning would be compatible " with surrounding residential uses. Mr. Mohr felt Mr. Gibson I s case had been well argued, and reminded the Council that he had requested a brief from the city attorney regarding city authority e with respect to zone changes. Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to uphold the Planning Commission recommen- dation and deny the appeal of Mr. Gibson. Motion carried. I, Mr. Hershner 'abstained from voting. , C.
