API$A JOURNAL c : SalemiHaitriitig Body Approves Annexation 10.9 Acre Tract Land Franzen Advises Gronp to Add To City By DOUGLAS SEYMOUR Capital Journal Writer Members of the Salem Planning Commission gave their approval Tuesday night to the proposed an nexation of 10.92 acres into Hie city. All of the owners of the area signed the petition to bring the property Into the city so an elec tion in the district will not be needed. The tract is located east 1 of the Oregon State Fairgrounds south of Silverton road and ajoins (he site of the future junior high school next to Washington school. In recommending the area be taken into the city the Plats and Subdivision Committee of the Com mission noted that sower and wa ter trunk lines are available to serve the area and that cost of laying the lines in the tract would be borne by the property owners end not the city. Only cost to the city in the proj ect would come from fire and po lice protection, cost of intersec tions and street lights, it was point ed out. Take In Small Areas City Manager J. L. Franzen. in speaking of annexation of outside areas, said that there should be some annexation in progress all of the time. He said It was preferable to take in small areas, such as the one being discussed, because they could be moro easily assimilated into the city. The city manager explained that there is very little area left inside of the city which can be developd for housing and that if the city Is to grow, it must take in the addi tional areas. "If annexations are not in prog ress right along the progress of the city will be stifled, Franzen said In passing on its recommenda tion to the city council the com mission noted that while it is not the policy to favor annexation of a tract with such an irregular boundary under he circumstances there is no objection to this annex ation. Two Variances Approved The commission also approved, following public hearings, two var iances. Carroll II. Erlandson was given permission to construct a duplex on Davidson Street on the third lot south of Wilbur Street and Her man C. Fcddcrn was given a vari ance to build a three unit dwelling on Summer Street between Ship ping and Hood Streets. Only objection to cither request came from 6, L. Fritz, 930 Cross Street, who had mailed a remon stranco protesting the duplex proj ect on Davidson Street saying it would reduce property values in the area. Final approval was given by the commission to the plat for Liberty Garden Annex No. I which is lo cated north of Liberty Gardens on the north side of Boone Itond, a half mile east of Liberty Road. The plat includes 12 lots varying from 10,000 to 12,600 feet on a four acre tract. Developer of the proj-, ect is Felix E. Hiedcl. Present at the meeting was F. W. Gibson, who was seeking a var iance setback for an Associated Oil service station at 17th and Market Streets. He was told to file the variance request with the city recorder and that the matter would come before the commis sion. Members of the commission also discussed informally the need for acquiring property to extend some access streets. A committee will prepare a priority list to submit to the commission.
