I Public hearing was closed. e Mr. Saul commented that the issue is whether the sewer can be extended to the property. He said staff maintains those facilities cannot be provided to all of the property. Mr., Obie wondered if all the buildings on the property could be served, even if not all of the property could be served. Mr. Saul said the buildings could all be served. Mr. Alpert commented that City facilities are available to the site. He said he thinks it satisfies the LCDC requirement. He said he is not asking for additional residences. It is not a request for develop- ment. His motivation for the request is that there is a septic tank and drain field that is antiquated. He recognizes that the property could be developed or sold but in terms of motivation that is not his motivation at the present time. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision and enter staff notes and minutes as part of the record. Motion carried, all Councilors present, voting aye, except Mr. Haws and Mr. Bradley abstaining. E. Public Works Bid Awards (attached) (opened 8/22/78 at lO:a.m.) Don Allen, Public Works Director, read a complaint into the record on e project eight which said that the storm sewer on Dillard is of concern to an individual on 1485 East 43rd. They are concerned that the storm sewer is in a rather large water course and that it would be denying use of the stream by wildlife in the area. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to award the bid to the low bidders on all nine projects. Motion carried unanimously. II. ORDINANCES A. Designating as historic landmarks the Preston Building, the Hall Building and the Portland Store located on the east side of Willamette Street between 8th and 9th avenues (C.B. 1732) This council bill was held over from August 18, 1978. Council has, in the meantime, toured the facility. Staff has drafted a proposed motion, copies of which have been distributed to Council members. Mr. Delay said he thought the motion sounded like a perf~ctly adequate resolution of the matter. If Council has to later arbitrate the outcome of the three bui19ings, at least it will have a list of concrete proposals to use. Councilors also received recommendations concerning the three buildings as prepared by Michael Shellenbarger, Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Oregon, a letter from ERA Director Kupper - 8/28/78--9 587
