He said ~he slope of some of the property varies from 20 to 50 percent and is in close proximity to Nob Hill 9th Addition open area designated as open space land in 1974. e Public hearing was opened. Ray Lindberg, 3110 Emerald, president of the homeowners association in the area and developer of the property, said he was speaking on behalf of the 11th and 12th additions in the area. He said the lots against the park are going up in assessed value and that, in fact, this property would become public property as it cannot be sold and cannot be fenced. He said this area was very much needed as there was no other open space property located in that area. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.

Mr. Haws, in a recapitu- lation of a testimony held at the January 24 eouncil meeting, indicated the testimony heard supported two opposing viewpoints: residents in the area complained of the noise, the unsafe con- ditions created by trucks in the area, and the general impact the trucking movement had in a negative effect on the area; several industries in the area had testified to the effect that the access was necessary to keep their costs down and to maintain access to the various logging and industrial businesses. Mr. Bradley said that he felt that additional testimony should be presented at this meeting. e 2/14/77--6 8~
