Sandy to consider design rule
The final reading of Sandy’s proposed
architectural design zone for commercial
districts will be given at a Sandy City
Council meeting Monday a 17:30 p. m.
Passage of the ordinance requiring the
use of natural wood products and other
contrasting materials on the exterior of
buildings in the city's business districts
was delayed at a Jan. S council meeting
when councilmen failed to give it
unanimous approval
If passed the measure would require
submission of plans for all new con
struction and exterior remodeling for
commercially zoned property to a design
review board.
The board would rule on whether or not
the plans conformed with the provisiona of
the measure The ordinance carries an
emergency class and would become ef
fective immediately on passage.

hearing on a proposed zone change
I,ee Irw in, publisher of the Past, has
asked the city to approve a zone change on
a lot located on Bluff Road between US
Highway 26 and Hood Street from high
density residential (R-3) to general
commercial (c-2). The Sandy Com
prehensive Plan designates the area as
general commercial.
Council decision was held over until
Monday pending determination of the
availability of other commercial property,
in the city.
If the zone change is approved Irw in
says he plans to construct an office
building for the Post on the property.
The council’s agenda also calls for
consideration of an application fora liquor
license for H & M Restaurants, Inc. The
firm has informed the city it has plans for
conversion of an incompleted building on
US Highway 26 west of Bluff Road into a
pizza and icecream parlor.
The police department is conducting a
routine investigation into the application
currently.
The council has scheduled discussion of

front of Sandy Union High school for
Monday's meeting.
City Manager Carl Hatfield Jr., leaving
his post in February, has announced that
Sandy has received 84 applications for the
vacancy

states." Hatfield says. "And 26 of those are
from Oregon."

Another election likely
Voters axe MHCC levy
Rockwood Hartley: Yes, 75; No. 79.
Though those figures were toted up early
as results of the Mt. Hood Community
College levy election trickled in Tuesday
night, they represented an omen of things
to come.
Voters in Rockwood Hartley had never
turned down a college money measure
before When the final, unofficial figures
were in Wednesday morning, the five-
year, 111 5 million levy request had failed
by over i ,600 votes
D r E arl Klapstein, MHCC president,
said Tuesday night that he would ask the
college district board at its meeting
Wednesday to reduce the amount of the
levy request, cut it to three years and
place it on the ballot again.
The college's athletic program has been
a target of some angry taxpayers. Yet the
program is really a scapegoat, one sup
porter said: Cost of operating the program
is borne mainly by student fees, he pointed
out.
There is little doubt that the college will
try again Klapstein told the Greater
Gresham Chamber of Commerce several
weeks ago that he would "try , try again”
before seeing to years of work at the
college dismantled
Total but unofficial figures Wednesday
morning showed the levy failed 4,318 to
2.9 ho in Multnomah County. It was ap
proved 52 to 17 in the small portion of the
district that lies in Hood R iver County. The
levy failed 697 to 315 in Clackamas County.
Approximately 10 per cent of the
registered voters in the college district
cast a total of 8,379 ballots.
The board was scheduled to consider the
election results at its 8 p m meeting in the
college board room Wednesday. Jan. 14.
Money from the proposed levy had been
earmarked for operations and equipment
replacement.
Timberline plans approved
A long term management direction and
facility development plan for the T im
berline Lodge complex has been adopted,
announced acting Forest Supervisor
Michael Kerrick, last week
The plan is a result of a tw o y ear study
including facility development alter
natives, draft and final environmental
statements and considerable public In
volvement
The development plans include:
A day lodge to protect existing Lodge by
providing
facilities for skiers
and
mountain climbers.
Overnight accommodations adding 60
rooms under the oval turn-around in front
of Tim berline Lodge
Blossom chairlift, an intermediate lift
to the west of Timberline Lodge
Palm er chairlift, a lift located above the
existing magic mile on the Palm er
snowfield
A retaining wall, for safety in winter
snow playing and also to make available
all theexisting parking lot for parking
Restoration of Timberline Lodge, once
the day lodge is constructed
Landscaping to meet the intent of the
original 1936 landscape plan
"This development best preserves the
original Lodge. It also meets the original
concept behind the Lodge construction:
operation as a ski area," said Kerrick.
Timberline Lodge, built in the 1930s
under the Works Progress Administration,
was added to the Register of National
Historic Sites in November, 1973
Kerrick also expressed thanks to all the
individuals, organizations and Agencies
who participated in the planning process.
Public input was very valuable and
resulted In a plan which w ill best serve the
local, regional and national public, con
cluded Kerrick.
The levy was defeated at moat polling
stations, though there were some notable
exceptions
The levy was approved at Knott
Elementary
School
(93-82),
Russell
Elementary School (77-72), Fairview City
Hall (72-64). Margaret Scott Elementary
School (65-58), Columbia View School <96-
56), Rockwood Park Elementary School
(54-51), Bridal Veil Community Hall (11-8)
and M t Hood Community College (252-
