mendation to reject the final
plat for a subdivision on South
Chase Street.
J & D Electric of Irrigon
plans to build six single-family
homes on the hillside subdivi
sion. The city planning commis
sion had recommended deny
ing the final plat plan, after a
delegation of residents from
the neighborhood appeared to
complain that the subdivision
would create traffic safety
problems in the area.
Jerry Morrell of Irrigon,
representing J & D Electric,
told the council that the
planning commission acted .
illegally in not approving the
final plat, since he had met all
setback requirements and
carried out all revisions in the
preliminary plat as requested
by the commission. In addi
tion, he noted, the com
mission had approved his
preliminary plat, and city
laws require the planning
commission to approve final
plat plans, if the preliminary
plat and revisions have been
accepted. City Attorney Wil
liam Kuhn concurred that the
planning commission had ap
parently acted illegally in not
approving the final plat.
"We met all the require
ments and complied with the
planning commission," Mor
rell told the council. "We were
turned down because of public
input on a matter that had
nothing to do with the subdivi
sion." A letter to council from 24
residents of the neighborhood
bordering the subdivision sta
ted that they were opposed to
the subdivision because of
"the public safety factor."
The road leading to the
proposed subdivision is ex
tremely narrow, they noted,
and a hazard to negotiate in
the winter. There is no
sidewalk, the protesting resi
dents added, meaning that
pedestrians would have to
walk on the narrow street.
Other residents complained
that the subdivision would not
have adequate water pres
sure, but Fire Chief Forrie
Burkenbine stated that water
pressure at the site exceeds
state minimum require
ments. Council member Carolyn
Cole, stated that Heppner
needs new homes and develop
ment, and that if "roads are a
problem, we can do something
about them in the future." She
moved to approve the final
plat, and was joined in "yes"
votes on the measure by Larry
Mills and Cliff Green. Plo
charsky abstained.
Green, noting that his vote
in favor of approval was
reluctant, stated that "the
homeowners in the area have
valid points.. .the city should
give immediate attention"
towards widening the street
and studying building a new
access route to the area.
The council awarded
plaques to Norman Florence,
Justine Weatherford and
Jimmy Rogers. Florence was
commended for his long-time
efforts at inspecting city wells
to ensure that pumps were
working properly. Mrs.
Weatherford received council
praise for her service as city
librarian, and as a long-time
proponent of library affairs.
She recently resigned her post
at the Heppner library. Rog
ers was commended for his
years of service on the city
council, a position he vacated
recently to devote more time
to his business.
The council passed a mea-,
sure that would require con
tractors to obtain zoning
permits from the city, so that
setback requirements can be
checked on new developments
prior to construction. Zoning
permit fees were set at $5.
City Attorney Kuhn was (
instructed to draw up an
ordinance for first reading on '
a proposed truck route system
through the city limits.
