MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MLDfOHD. OREGON
SUNDAY. JUNE 1, IMS
Asniand Mom th tn
Bellview property owners
voted unanimously to explore
the possibility of incorporat
ing an area that is up for an
nexation to the city of Ash
land. The decision was made
Thursday night at a meeting
of the anti-annexation com
mittee in the Bellview
Grange hall.
For some months the con
troversial issue has been the
lubject of study by the city
council and the planning com
mission and certain areas of
the six tentatively proposed
districts have filed annexa
tion petitions while . oppo
nents have filed protests and
counter petitions.
On the original petition
presented by Chester Squire
and Harry Hawk were names
ot signers who later asked
that their signatures be re
moved, a request which City
Attorney Harry Skerry de
clared legal. A second peti
tion was then presented to
the council embracing a re
duced area.
Arei 'Whittled Down'
"According to opponents,
the proposed annexation area
has been "whittled down in
order to secure the required
percentage of signers." The
city planning commission
said that public hearings will
be set by the council at its
June 18 meeting.
The consensus of the anti
annexation committee was
that if the property owners
are to eventually have city
rural living conditions they

The Medford planning com
mission Thursday night as
sured itself of a full agenda
for its July meeting. It sched
uled four public hearings, and
deferred action until then on
five other requests.
One other matter-the nam
ing of a street north of Bar

Bear creek-was referred to
the park and recreation com
misson for its recommenda
tion. On the positive side, the
group recommended to the
city council that a request for
annexation of S.4 acres of
property lying east of Murphy

hospital be approved.
A doctor's clinic containing
between 5,000 and 7,000
square feet of floor space is
under construction on the site.
City Planner Ned Langford
noted the clinic at that loca
tion would be consistent with
the city's land use proposals.
Commissioner Larry Horton
moved to recommend approv
al of the request to the city
council with the provision
that the land be brought into
the city as a multiple family
zone.
Afk (or Sewer Survey

mended approval of a request
for annexation of 4.7 acres of
undeveloped land on the south
side of Garfield st. at Ivy st.
with the proviso that a profile
sewer survey be made first.
Final approval of Siskiyou
Village subdivision, Unit No.
1, as revised, was granted by
the group.

to limited commer
cial for property located on

Irrigation Districts
Benefit From Two
California Bills
Yrcka-Two bills Introduc
ed by Sen. Randolph Collier,
on behalf of the Montague
and Grenada Irrigation dis
tricts, have been signed into

Brown.
Collier said Senate Bill 8
legislation was requested by
the Montague Water Conser
vation district to allow it to
contract with the federal
government under the irriga
tion district federal coopera
tion law. The bill allows the
city of Montague to be ex
cluded from such an improve
ment district and permit the
balance of the district, if it
desires, to issue bonds for wa
ter improvements. Any assess
ments resulting would be lev
ied only against the rural
property Included within the
special improvement district.
"This bill Imposes no obli
gations on any of the resi
dents,'" Collier stated. "It
simply gives the rural prop
erty owners and farmers the
authority to bond themselves
for water development if they
desire, in cases where the city
voters do not wish to be In
cluded." Collier's Senate Bill 10 al
