MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOBD, OREGON SUNDAY, JUNE 24. 1962 Mayor Given Power To Sign Petition On City's Behalf The Medford city council Thursday night voted to em power Mayor John W. Snider tn sign a petition on behalt of the city calling for improve, ment work on certain sections nf East Main st., Valley View dr and Hillcrest rd. About a month ago, repre sentatives of tne city adminis tration met with residents owning property abutting on the streets involved to ask the owners to join in the project and pay a portion of the cost. The project would call for widening sections of the streets and for the installa tions of curbs and gutters. The owners were advised at the meeting that their cost would amount to about $5 per front foot. Following the meeting, peti tions were circulated by prop erty owners soliciting support of the improvements. City Manager Robert Duff an nounced to the council Thurs day that a petition connected with the East Main st. part of the project had been signed by about 55 per cent of the property owners involved. Since the city owns a piece of property with approximate ly an 180-fnot frontage on East Main st., it was recom mended that Mayor Snider en dorse the petition on behalf of the city. The council vote was unanimous. There is sufficient money in the city's arterial street fund to finance the city's share of the improvement project, Duff said. In other action, the council voted to approve eminent do main proceedings against Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Parlier, 440 Highland dr., in connection with a parcel of land near the intersection of Highland dr. and Siskiyou blvd. Proceedings were also ap proved against Janice and Charles L. Ghelardi and Yvon ne ft. and Bob C. Reynolds, and against Dr. G. N. Gitzen, 313 Whitman ave., in connec tion with planned improve ments nn the Melrose-Barnett street extension project. An ordinance was passed providing for segregation of assessments in connection with the Crater Lake ave. san itary sewer. Action on a proposal to amend the Medford fire code was delayed until the July 19 meeting of the council, but a resolution initiating a 64-hour week for city firemen was passed. Proposed new standards for driveways within the city which were drawn up and submitted by the public works department, were unanimous ly adopted. A power line at the munic ipal airport was assigned to Pacific Power and Light com pany. PP&L will rebuild the deteriorated line so it will serve the fruitgrowers' labor camp and the U. S. forest serv ice aerial fire suppression sta tion at the airport. The council voted to amend the city building code to per mit the use of one hour fire resistant plate glass for win dows in certain interior parti tions in buildings. Several improvement proj ects were voted on by the council: -Plans and specifications for paving Newtown st. from Catherine to Belmont sts were approved. -Plans and specifications were okeyed for curbs and gutters on Walnut, Niantic and Beatty sts. -A contract was awarded to Tru-Mix Concrete company to pave Velia st. from Morrow rd. to Johnson st. -The Velia st. paving fund was established. -A water main assessment ordinance was passed for Oak, Taft and Narregan sts. from McAndrews rd. to Clark st. Street Is Designated UDon recommendation of the city manager's traffic committee, the council voted to designate McAndrews rd. from Riverside ave. to Jack son st. as a through street. The transfer of a number of items in Hie city's 1961-62 fis cal budget was allowed by council vote, but Councilman Donald Hansen asked the ad ministration tn prepare a re port on how certain items which have increased notice ably in cost can be brought back into balance. Upon recommendation of the city planning commission, the council called public hearing for July 5 on a re quest for a change of zone for property which would facili tate the construction of a Safe way store on West Main st. be tween Hamilton and Quince sts. A request to construct and maintain a trailer park on the ' west side of Table Rock rd. north of Berrydale ave., sub ject to a number of conditions set forth by the planning commission, was approved by the council. A request to operate a home occupation known as the Humpty-Dumpty Doll hospital at 16 Western ave. also gained council approval. However, a request by Lew ; Miles, proprietor of Siskiyou Memorial Park for a variance to the city sign regulations was referred to a meeting of the council executive commit-. tee, Miles, and City Planner Ned Langford. An application to transfer a liquor dispenser's license for the Tower Broiler, 1206 North i Riverside ave., from the pres ent owners to the corporation officers of Jcrand Investment j Company Inc., who are ar ranging to purchase the res-' taurant, was approved by the j council.
