-~ Manager reviewed location and request for zone change. Mr. Saul said the property had been used for a number of years as an . outside storage shed. The area involved is approximately one- half acre in size. He said the bulk of the property on the west and south sides are either owned by the Oregon State Highway Department or developed with rather intensive commercial uses. The Planning Commission did recommend approval with addition of Site Review. Ms. Smith wondered if access would be primarily from Iowa Streett and if there would be any need for additional improvement to the road. Mr. Saul replied Iowa Street is a problem in that it is 20 feet wide and unimproved. He said the real problem with the question of access from Iowa Street was thatt in the need for improving the streett it would be necessary to acquire additional dedication and perhaps acquire additional right-of-way from the state. Howevert he continuedt those problems exist whether the zoning is R-3 or C-2. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Council members. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of October 4t 1977t were received as part of the record by reference thereto. Public hearing was opened. Mrs. Harry Mi11ert 362 Highway 99Nt owner of the propertYt indicated that her home was adjacent to this property zoned C-2. She said access to one piece of the property is off Iowa Street. The property e is now zoned residential but has lost its residential character and cannot be developed in any way that will conform to that zoning. If the zone change is a110wedt the development will be a storage building as an accessory to their business. She clari- fied for Council the business was 75 percent sales and service with only 25 percent well-drilling. She said as far as traffic was con- cernedt the development would not increase the traffic on Iowa Street. She said the lot had lost its identity as a residential 10tt and the request for zone change would appear to be a more legal deve- lopment for this particular piece of land and a more appropriate use. Public hearing was c10sedt there being no further testimony presented. Council Bill 1575--Rezoning from RA to C-2 SR property located west of Highway 99N and south of Elmira Road was read by council bill number and title onlYt there being no Council member present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Haws movedt seconded by Mr. Hamelt that findings supporting the rezoning as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of October 4t 1977t be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by cQuncil bill number onlYt with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously, and the bill was read the second e time by council bill number only. 11/28/77 - 10 ggo
