Commission Recommends
The planning commission
has recommended to the
council that both of these re
quests be approved.
Another request from the
planning commission was
given council approval. This
concerned two requests from
persons who want to oper
ate beauty shops as home oc
cupations at 880 Stewart ave.,
and 1015 Winchester st. The
commission had said a beauty
shop operated by one person
meets the definition of home
occupations as set forth in the
loning ordinance.
Council approval was given
to a park and recreation com
mission recommendation that
the city sell three lots (n Effie
and Bessie sets., and the rev
enue be put into the Park and
Recreation fund. These lots
had been designated for park
purposes and the commission
said that they did not fit into
the general park plan.
Approve Recommendation
The council also approved
a park and recreation commis
sion recommendation that 80
acres be set aside in Prescott
park for the Rogue Camp Fire
council to use for day and
group camping purposes.
The parks and recreation
department would control the
development of the area, and
the Camp Fire Girls council
would bear the cost of the im
provements. A request from L. R. Pil
eher, manager of the Ever
green Bus lines, that he be
allowed to put benches at the
U. S. National Bank and Cen
tral Drug bus stop locations,
was denied by the council.
Councilman Stanley Stark
said he opposed the benches
from an appearance stand
point and also noted the fact
that few cities have bus stop
benches any more.
Amend Rules
The council amended the
council rules, as provided in
the city code, so that subsid
iary motions appearing before
the council for the first time
would not require a three
quarters majority to pass. This
means that only main motions
will now require the three
quarters margin to pass when
they appear before the coun
cil for the first time.
Previously the council had
had to approve all matters
by a three-quarters vote in
order to pass them the first
time they were considered.
The council granted the Na
tional Gunite company and
Holiday Pool Construction
company an eight-day exten
sion in their contract time for
completion of the Jackson
park swimming pool. The con
tractors had requested a 15
day extension time, but the
engineering firm suggested
that only eight days extension
be given. They recommended
this because of the time con
sumed in the coordination of
the wading pool into the pro
ject. Schedule Not Affected
The council noted that the
extension would in no way
affect the city's scheduled
opening day for the pool June
10.
A request from Moore s
Patio and Toy shop, 815 South
Riverside ave., for a 31-foot
extra width driveway was
granted.
Grade lines on several city t
streets were adopted by the
council so buildings which are 1
to be constructed near them ;
will conform to street grades
at the time the streets are
constructed.
The grade lines adopted are
for portions of Narregan St.,
Clark St., Taft St.. Walrut St..
Beatty st., Niantic St., and
Woodlawn dr.
The council pointed out
that there are no present
plans for constructing these
particular portions of the
atreets.
A proposal to approve plans
and authorize the partial pav
ing of Summit ave.. between
Mary place and Clark st., was
postponed until the next

The Taywin Investment
company had previously tak
en over the liquor license of
the Owl club, 32 North Front
st. The spokesman pointed out
that the Owl club and ad
jacent business establishments
would have to move by next
September in order to make
way for a U. S. National Bank
parking lot.
He said the new lounge and
restaurant should be open in
September.

Medford Council Postpones
Action on Proposed Center
The Medford city council
Thursday night postponed for
one month any action on the
proposed Medford civic cen
ter, apparently so it can first
determine the effect of the
center on property in the
area.
The proposed civic center
site is an 11-square block area
bounded by Mistletoe. Main,
10th, and Holly sts. The plan
ning commission last week
unanimously recommended to
the city council that the site
be given preliminary approv
al.
As proposed, the center
would include the existing
county courthouse, west side
park, the library, the proposed
federal building and future
state and city buildings.
A request for a change of
zone appeared to have some
bearing on the council's ac
tion, the request is for a
change of zone to permit a
service station to be erected
on a lot directly across from
the west side park, and in the
eastern portion of the pro
posed civic center site on
Eighth st. between Holly and
Ivy sts.
In Multiple-Family
This lot is located in the
center of a multiple-family
zone and the request is to
change it, and an adjacent lot,
to commercial zones. The
planning commission also con
sidered the request at its last
meeting, and unanimously
recommended to the council
that it be denied.
However, owners of the lots
appealed the commission's ac
tion to the council and re
quested a public hearing. The
council granted the request,
and set the hearing date for
June 2.
Several city and county of
ficials have financial interests
in the lots, including Robert
A. Boyer, a member of the
county planning commission.
District Judge Roy Bashaw, i
Municipal Judge Alan B.
Holmes and City Attorney
Joel Reeder.
Also Have Interest
Also listed as having Inter
ests in the property are At
torney Stanley Jones and C.
W. and Joe Brooks. Boyer was
spokesman for the group at
the planning commission
meeting.
Councilman R. L. Van
Sickle brought the matter up
Thursday night when he said
that the civic center site is
quite a large area to be set
aside for future development
and to do so might have an
adverse effect on property
owners in the area.
City Manager Robert A.
Duff told Van Sickle that the
plan would have no effect on
property at all. It is only part
of a preliminary land-use plan
for the city, he said.
Van Sickle replied that it
does affect property "the
planning commission used the
proposal as one of the reasons
for denial of the zone change."
Duff said this was not so.
that the request was refused
because, if granted, it would
be strip zoning.
Reasons For Denial
At the planning commission
meeting the commission said
its main reasons for denial
were that it would be the be
ginning of a strip commercial
development which would
lead to traffic congestion and
it would be an inter-mixing of
commercial and residential
uses.
The commission, also point
ed out in its recommendation
to the council that it has been
its policy to discourage strip
commercial development
along arterial streets, and the
granting of this request would
make it difficult to deny a
similar request on any other
arterial street in the city.
The civic center idea had
been mentioned in conjunc-
with the request for change of
zone, but was not given as one
of the commission's main rea
sons for denial.
Built Around Plan
Councilman Donald Hanson
pointed out that the civic cen
ter site is built around a plan
originally presented in 1931.
The idea of a civic center
would be a wonderful thing
for the city." he said, and add
ed that it has been "delayed
long enough."
Hanson suggested that the
request for a change of zone
was prompted by the knowl
edge that the federal building
might locate in this area, but
Van Sickle promptly said this
was wrong.
When it became apparent
that a number of the council
men wanted additional time
to study the civic center plan.
Hanson moved that action be
postponed until the second
council meeting in June.
Van Sickle suggested that
the matter be delayed even
longer, but Councilman Al
Bradford said that a month
should be long enough time to
get the facts.
Development Explained
The council requested Plan
ning Consultant Ned Langford
to explain the center develop
ment.
Langford said the plan was
brought to a head by the gov
ernment's proposed federal
building and when the city
began receiving questions like
"where will they put it?" and,
"where would the city like to
have it?"
The area had already been
delineated, he said, on a
rough land-use plan as a civic
center development. It was
selected, he added, because it I
is easily accessible from all ;
parts of the city, it is conven- f
lent to the business area and I
it already has a nucleus in the
courthouse and city park.

Van Sickle asked Langford.
"could you assure me that the
planning commission would
favor legitimate zone changes
in the area" if the thought of
the civic center was before
them?
Langford replied that he
could not answer for the
planning commission.
Move For Change
Hanson moved that the en
tire area included in the civic
center plan be changed from
the present multiple-family to
a Class 1A residential zone
in order to prevent undesir
able uses from being con
structed in the area without
the city being able to do any
thing about them.
Some uses such as office
buildings are presently per
mitted under the existing multiple-family
zone. Boyer told
the planning commission last
week that an office building
has been proposed for future
construction on the lot next
to the one on which they hope
to erect a service station.
Hanson's motion was de
feated by a 6-1 vote. The mo
tion for deferral for one
month passed unanimously,
