2 SANOY ( O r * ) POST Thurs Jo nuor y 14 1902 (Sec I) Comprehensive plans: E co n o m ist p red icts fiscal re b o u n d Sandy nears LCDC approval by DAN DILLO N Local officials are confident that Sandy's comprehensive land- use plan will finally be accepted by the state Land Conservation and Development Commission following the creation of a special density for mobile homes “ LCDC staff has indicated they will make a positive recommen dation for the February meeting with the full commission, so it will be in compliance with statewide goals,’* City Manager Roger Jor dan said last week. The decision to create the special density for mobile homes came after protests from LCDC and the mobile home industry The city had taken the stand that mobile homes be placed prim arily in high density areas (10-15 dw elling s per a c re ). However, mobile home develop ment typically occurs in the six to nine units per acre range In Sandy, both the Knollwood Estates Mobile Home Park and Hood Chalet Mobil Park fall in that density range While the city’s high<Jensity designation would be too confin ing, the medium-density range <5-6 dwellings per acre) was thought to be too open, leaving a gap in the density where mobile home parks are developed As a result, the city last week adopted an ordinance for mobile homes only which will allow development in the recommended 6-9 units per acre range The change will not affect other housing types, according to City Planner Don Wilson Another section which the city adopted simply demonstrates that the city has sufficient buildable lands within its high-density area to accommodate both projected mobile home units and projected multiple family housing. “ It is re- quired in order to demonstrate that we are not discriminating against mobile homes by pro viding no land for their use.’’ Wilson said If LCDC agrees with its staff recommendation at the Feb 5 hearing and approves Sandy's plan, it will be the end of nearly three years of study and prepara tion Prior to June i960, when the city first submitted the plan for con sidération. Straam Engineers Inc had worked throughout 1979 com piling the data needed for the document After the initial submission to the state and its review process, LCDC found that the plan needed revisions to comply with four statewide planning goals During a continuance period, the city staff prepared an amend ment package which was adopted and resubmitted to the state Oct 19, 1961. C o u n ty officials rev ise th r e e areas Clackamas County of ficials are working to revise the county’s land use plan which gained partial approval from the state in December Oregon’s Land Con servation an< Develop ment Commt-xion for malized an uO-day ex tension Jan 4 on three parts of the plan that didn’t meet with its ap proval A rd is S tev en so n , assistant director of the Environmental Services Department, said the LCDC wants more work done on rural contested areas, the Mount Hood c o rr id o r and a rea s covered under a new "goal five’’ of the stan dards The only rural con tested area in the north Clackamas County area is C a rm e l E s ta te s , which is more than 20 acres near the intersec tion of U S Highway 26 and Oregon Highway 212 The county claims the land should be zoned for com m ercial use. LCDC members want the land designated for agricultural or forest uses, as do city of Sandy officials who have op posed the commercial zone since it was first designated. The Mount Hood area along Highway 26 out side of the Hoodland lo c a l im p ro v e m e n t district is under study by the LCDC The com mission has requested additional information on the area from the county before land use designations are made tai, economic, energy and social impacts of preserving such sites in the county are She said one c h u rc h in the Damascus-Boring area is the only such struc ture in the area involved in this part of the ex tended land-use plan’s approval process The county has been working on its p a n sine the LCDC was formed, and w ill be among the firs t 10 Oregon counties to com plete the planning pro cess if the commission approves the revisions submitted at the end of the extension Goal 5 of the state’s laws calls for special designation of wetland and historic areas iri the county.

Oregon's economy will hit bottom and rebound all in this year, but Sandy can rebound even faster by at tracting industry. At least that’s the pro gnosis and local advice from Mt Hood College economics instructor Ted Shineman, form er state economic consultant in Maryland His forecasts for 1962 were delivered this week to the Sandy Chamber of Commerce He joined state Labor Commissioner Mary Wen dy Roberts and the city’s own Economic Develop Alarm rate down during recent year Chimney fires during the single month of December accounted for more than one-third of all chimney fires reported during 1981 as winter weather hit the Sandy area. According to year-end statistics released this week by the Sandy Fire D istrict, there were 17 chimney fires last month and 46 during the year During the year there were 152 reported fires, many of them preventable “ T hat’s many more fires than we'd like to see,’’ said F ir e M a rs h a l Jim Gallagher Chimney fires are preventable by proper« operation and maintenan.e of -.he system, he said “ You can prevent them You don’t need to a chimney fire,” Gallagher pointed out Another 30 percent of the y e a r's fire w ere also preventable. Forty-three grass, rubbish and trash fires were reported and those can be stopped “ by people observing some basic common sense,” Gallagher said There were 870 alarms recorded during 1981, com pared to 986 one year earlier A g a in e m e rg e n c y medical services made up the bulk of the calls For the year there were 558 EM Scalls. 152 fire alarms. 76 public assistances, 55 mutual aids with adjacent fire districts, and 29 false alarms ment Commission in urg mg Sandy to attract new in dustry to town, a task eas ed by favorable climate here. Shineman said Major factors cited by in dustrialists who relocate are met locally, he said, with Sandy’s recreational fa c ilitie s , skilled labor force, relatively low hous ing costs and affordable land and taxes For Oregon and the na tion as a whole. Shineman forecasts a slight improve ment by the end of the year, after the economy hits bottom in late spring or summer "Oregon services the rest of the country." he said of Oregon business makeup, “so we can't ex pect to do well if the coun try doesn't. “ W hen W ash in g to n (D C .) sneezes, we get a cold When Washington gets a co ld , we get pneumonia ” S h in em an p re d ic ts Oregon's unemployment soon will hit 11.1 percent, its highest since the Great Depression A third of state sawmills will be closed with another third slowed down this year, he also forecast Non-durable goods will be hit less, he said, but almost all sectors of the economy will be down There are bright spots Agriculture statewide may improve this year with more exports, and inflation alre ad y is slowing on almost everything but final goods to retail consumers. W hile single-family hous ing starts statewide in December totaled only 318 with 63 additional apart ment units, 20 of the Portland metro area's total of 28 apartment units were started here in Sandy Those 20 new Sandy ap artm ents under con struction are part of Sandy builder Ginny Brewster s housing complex for senior citizens Actual employment rate coming out for Oregon, he said, will be up 8 percent i versus the unemployment m ark of 11 I percent), since there are more peo pie here this year The nation's growing $109 million deficit is held at bay now, almost ironically, by high interest rates that keeps the private sector from borrowing, Shineman added So there's even a bright side to the current recession, he said, with pressure on the credit RABIES CLINIC Tuesday, January 19 5-7 p.m .
