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.

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.
