said Dunn School was down the hill from her property, that motorists had a clear view down the hill so that the area in front of her home was not a visual hazard. In addition, most children coming up the hill from Dunn School live downhill and reached their homes e before the area in front of her home. Mr. Allen asked if the City would allow him or someone from his staff to meet with the Petersons at their home to settle this issue. Assistant Manager asked Council to authorize this action because of the need caused by a possible hazard to school children. He said if the sidewalk appeared to be a hazard by the City's normal standards, it would require a concrete apron. However. he said if the asphalt sidewalk seemed safe. the City could accommodate the Peterson's request until a concrete sidewalk was needed. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to award bid for this sidewalk to the low bidder. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Allen reviewed the remaining contract bid openings. For Bid No. '2, sidewalk on east side Four Oaks Grange Road between 18th Avenue and Bailey Hill Road (Job 1308), Mr. Allen requested Council hold the contract for 30 days because of several requests concerning it. On all other contract bids, Mr. Allen recommended contract be awarded to low bidders. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to award contracts to low bidders on items 2 through 7, with item 2 contract award delayed for 30 days. Motion carried unanimously. C. Code Amendments re: R-3 and R-4 zoning districts e Assistant Manager explained the Code amendments had been proposed by the Planning Commission for the purpose of clarifying the language in R-3 and R-4 zoning districts. Jim Saul, Planning Department, said the amendments covered three points. Declarification of the status of clinics in R-4 districts so that they would remain a permitted use rather than a conditional use (not technically a change because of prior Code treatment of the issue); private and pUblic parking structures would be conditional in both R-3 and R-4 districts; and universities and colleges would be con- ditional in both R-3 and R-4 districts. He said the proposed amendments had been reviewed by major institutions in the area involved, including Sacred Heart Hospital, Northwest Christian College, and the University of Oregon. and by an appointed review group with members from the City Council, Planning Commission and West University Neighborhood Group. Public Hearing was held with no testimony presented.
