Attorney Gen eral Phil Canale said Thurs day he would investigate. PRINCIPAL CROP Ankara -The most import ant single agricultuial prod uct of Turkey is tobacco. Opposing factions of the Medford city planning com mission Thursday night debat ed a requested variance to a zoning ordinance about two hours before finally deferring the matter to the next regular meeting pending more infor mation on the request. The lengthy debate, which came close to being heated at times, grew out of a request from Virgil Anderson, 1234 Corona ave., asking the city for a variance to erect a car port at his general contracting business at that address. Anderson's contract ing business is presently located in an otherwise residential area which is zoned for single family dwellings. However, the business existed prior to the area's annexation to the city in 1957, and it is there fore his pre-existing right to continue the operation of his business under certain re strictions as to future growth and expansion. According to Anderson's at torney, Karl Clinkinbeard, who represented him at the meeting, he started construc tion on a carport to cover two gas pumps on his business property prior to the area's annexation, but work was slow and visible progress was not being made until last sum mer at which time several property owners in the area complained to the city. He was informed by the city he was in violation of the zoning ordinance, in addition to the fact he did not obtain a build ing permit and must halt work. Clinkinbeard contend ed that as Anderson had start ed the carport prior to the an nexation he could legally con tinue its construction without being in violation of the zon ing ordinance, but not want ing to cause trouble he de cided to seek a variance be fore resuming construction. Clinkinbeard further con tended that Anderson's busi ness was being run properly and the appearance of the es tablishment was such that it actually contributed to the beauty of the neighborhood To support his contention that it would not be object- able for Anderson to continue work, Clinkinbeard presented the commission with a peti tion signed by 22 property owners of the area to the ef fect that he should continue.

NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY ON SATURDAY QUALIFIED BEAUTICIANS AT YOUR SERVICE: IDA AUSTIN (Mgr.) SHIRLEY CARMICHAEL DOROTHY DUBAY VIRGINIA LABORDE ROSALIE MINTZ PHONE SPring 2-6434 and represented by their at torney, Robert Dames, attend ed the meeting and gave the commission an opposing peti tion containing 35 signatures. Many said they are inclined to agree that Anderson's busi ness is not objectionable from the standpoint of appearance but they did not want it to get any larger (the annexa tion automatically restricts him from enlarging his busi ness at that location). They said they felt the carport is a definite extension of his busi ness and a violation of the zoning ordinance. City Planning Consultant Ned Langford showed the commission several colored slides of the area, ' depicting the proposed carport which is probably a little less than half completed. The frames and supporting beams are in place and it is readily visible from the surrounding area. Commission Chairman Jack Edson asked City Attorney I Joel Reeder if the start of con struction before annexation gave Anderson a right to con tinue. In Reeder's opinion it did not, but nevertheless it did not mean the city could force Anderson to tear down what he had already put up, he said. Edson remarked that if the variance were denied it might mean a half completed struc ture which, could neither be completed nor torn down. Commission Member Charles Crary moved twice that the variance be granted on the grounds the carport would actually be an im provement to the appearance of the business and any future expansion would still be in violation of city ordinances and any future construction would require additional variances. But Crary's motions died both times for a lack of a sec ond, principally for the rea son, as expressed by two mem bers of the audience, Bruce Nelson, 1288 Corona ave., and Russell DeForest, 1002 Mt. Pitt ave., that if granted, the variance should contain re strictions on size of the car port and the amount of gas which could be stored under ground on Anderson's prop erty. By including these restric tions in the variance, DeFor est said, future commissions wnnlH havp a caiiffp with which to determine if Ander-I son or a subsequent owner had actually expanded opera tions or not since the present variance. Many of the persons in the audience indicated that if these restrictions as to size were included in the variance, they would go along with it. This time, a motion by Crary that the public hearing be continued until the next meeting, when Anderson should bring exact figures as to size of the contemplated car port and amount of gaso line storage facilities under ground, received unanimous approval of the commission.
