O Q 0 0 City Planners Favor Shrubbery Ordinance, Annexation of Lots A measure concerning trees or shrubbery which obstruct public property and annexation of two lots in the southwest corner of town were passed on to the city council with favorable recom mendation by the city planning commission last night. The commission unanimously supported a proposed ordinance introduced by Mrs. O. A. Eden. If approved by the council, the measure would give the city the right to trim or remove trees, shrubs, and other growing plants "which endanger or may en danger the usefullness or secur o. ity of a public street, sewer, or sidewalk." Back Annexation Two lots on the northeast cor ner of; Murray st. and Columbus ave., were recommended by the commission for annexation. The owners. Benton "W. Smith and Oscar W. Larson, had requested such action, as the property is now surrounded on four sides by city served land. 0 City Manager Robert Duff promised to take up an alleged violation of the zoning ordinance with City Attorney Frank Far rell this morning. A private citi zen appeared before the plan ning body last night asking that measure be taken to close a boarding house on Willamette ave. The street is zoned 1-A for single family dwellings.

Don Root and Mrs. Eden were appointed to investigate- a re quest that the city vacate a- north-south alley running from QUince st. to the east-west alley between Quince and Rose sts. The latter two committees were to report at a special plan ning commission session set for 5 p.m. Monday. . The commission told James S. Winslow that property on the corner of Saling and Oregon Terrace for which he requested a change of setback had been vacated by the city. Therefore, the planning group had no juris diction. A request by Benton W. Smith to change the setback from 10 feet to nothing on the corner of Eighth and Laurel sts, was denied. A petition from property owners is required be fore action can be taken. Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Hagen, 824 Belmont st., asked. the commis sion if a single dwelling could be constructed on their prop erty next to the present duplex, The commission said it could not. Total square footage of the Hagen buildings, 9,200, would not meet city requirements of 10,000 square foot minimum area for such an arrangement.
