Should Sandy Follow L e a v e n w o rth ?
It was a real treat to visit
Leavenworth, Wash and see what
that city has done
The merchants and area residents
got together early in the 1960 s to
come up with solutions to save the
economy of the area.
After a 2 4 year study, it was
determined the area should promote
tourism Before this, the area was
based mostly on a logging economy.
To get the increase in tourist
traffic, the city began in 1965 to
develop around the Bavarian Village
theme. In the first year, only two
businesses rem odeled to fit the
theme, but in the next few years
almost every business followed and
now has a Bavarian design
Also, many of the homes in the town
and surrounding area have a similar
design.
Many in the Sandy area are ex
pressing the need for Sandy to
develop around a central design
theme to help the city ’s idenity as the
mass of urban Portland and Gresham
moves this way
Also, it would help promote the city
as a place to stop and visit rather than
a place to drive quickly through.
If the highway department ever
decides to move Highway 26 out of
Sandy, the development of the area
around a theme would make the city a
place for tourists to visit and help
keep the economy of the area going
Sandy has a beautiful natural
setting at the gateway to the Mt. Hood
area and would lend itself very easily
to a Bavarian Village theme or
something similar

Keep Pressure On For Signals
The Sandy Area Cham ber of
Commerce is right in continuing the
pressure for signals on Highway 26 in
Sandy
The letter from the State Highway
Department this week isee page 1)
contirms what Saituy aica ivoidcr.ts
already know: there is a need for
these traffic signals
The highway department states
that "it would appear that under
present funding levels that we would
be able to consider these locations
sometime during the 1974-75 bien
nium.”
If the city and area residents will
pin with the chamber, maybe this
"consider" could be changed to
‘ will” and the city "will" get the
signals.
Let’s hope we do not have to wait
until 1975.
County works to revise
subdivision ordinance
Clackamas County is in the process of
establishing a new subdivision ordinance
The revised ordinance will be brought
before the county planning commission on
Nov 27 at a regular planning meeting
Before this meeting, the county is trying
to get the document out before as many

horhood advisory groups These groups
will only be advisory

through town hall meetings to be held
throughout the county by the com
m iss loners

•eeking more citizen input in the actual

The county subdivision ordinance has
been undergoing s e v e ra l m onths of
revisions to tighten up previous guidelines
according to county officials
One area where the revision work is
being done is called minor subdivisions".
This will be added to the ordinance to keep
a land owner from dividing property into
too many parcels of land
According to county officials, if the
county does not install this into the or
dinance a land owner could legally divide
his land three times in three years
