7 i. TEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. February 2:), 1!)78 '1 t i O Irrigon Francis Rose The Irrigon City Council has accepted a Planning Commis sion recommendation for an nexation of approximately 10 acres of land lying adjacent to highway 730, west of the present city boundary, at First Street. It is proposed by petitioners Rod Collins and Paul Brown to build a shop ping center and develop an overnight or short-term trailer court on their respec tive properties. A hearing date was set for March 3 for public comment on these annexations propo sals as well as one previously approve for land owned by Joel Stahl. A request by the Adventist Church for vacation of an east-west alley in Block 36 was denied. The council also voted to refrain from disposing of the railroad ties gleaned from the . railroad track through Irri gon, until the job was com pleted. Several individual re quests for ties had been received and the council felt these could not be honored in an equitable manner without a full inventory. In business relating to the police department, the council appointed City Administrator Jack Baisden as Police Com missioner. Purchase of police radios, lights, siren and a radar unit was authorized. Purchases of gas for use in Officer Gilliam's private ve- hide for patrol was also authorized while the police unit is in for repairs. A long standing point of contention was resolved when the council voted to repeal an ordinance sub-section banning the rental of mobile homes within the city.

Previously the owner of a mobile home would either have to live in it, or leave it vacant. No one could rent land outside a mobile home court to place a mobile home on. An ordinance relating to abandoned cars was discussed at length and tabled pending an update comparison of the city's present vehicle ordi nance and the state- statutes now in effect. One of Irrigon 's longtime dreams moved toward fulfill ment the past week when Union Pacific Railroad crews began removing the tracks, rails and ties on the right-of-way within the city limits. The railroad was termi nated at First Street on the west city boundary, many years ago, when the main line was rerouted through Hinkle. The tracks were removed west of Irrigon to Coyote Junction, near the present junction of Highway 730 with 1-80 North, about two miles east of Boardman. The unused portion of tracks has been a constant source of irritation to Irrigon residents and through the years they have sent many letters of protest. Objections have ranged from parking of empty railroad cars, which block the view of the Columbia River from homes south of the railroad, to ignoring requests for the removal of the fence through town, to the presence of unsightly weeds and brush growing on the property.

Since the nature of the area produce is primarily related to agriculture and this is basically handled by truck, the likelihood of rail related shipments for the forseeable future is quite remote. Because the city lies within a designated critical groundwater area, location of industry requiring rail ship ment is not expected because sufficient suitable water is not available. The city's recommenda tion to the commission also included a provision to release all U.P. Railroad right-of-way land within city limits, to the city. It is hoped a city park, can be developed at the old railroad park-site and that a City Hall and other city related buildings can be built on the property.
