K. Osborn - Rezoning property west of Hilltop Drive, north of "G" Street This being the time and place, as advertised, for a public hearing on t~e appeal of H. K. Osborn to the action of the Planning Commission in denying him a zone change from R-l-B-12 to R-1 for property on the west side of Hilltop Drive, north of "G" Street, Mayor Menzel declared the hearing open. Attorney Albert Boyer, representing Mr. M. M. Weakland, referred to his letter read at the last hearing whereby he stated that the appeal which was filed was not in order as it did not point out facts which would justify the Council reversing action of the Planning Commission as required by the ordinance. It was his contention that the rezoning would be incompatible to the area. Attorney Duane Wilson, representing Mr. Osborn, in urging the Council to approve the rezoning, stated that in his opinion the appeal was in order because the Council was the body that started the rezoning proceedings by its Resolution of Intention No. 3214 adopted October 1, 1963. No others wishing to be heard either for or against the proposed rezoning, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. A letter of protest was read from Lee Jo Morgan, 15 "G" Street. The Planning Com~nission report of findings was read. It was moved by Councilman McMains and seconded by Councilman M~Allis- ter that the rear seventy-five feet of the Osborn property be rezoned to R-1 because it is adjacent to R-1 property on two sides. The motion f~led to carry by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen McMains, McAllister, Smith Noes: Councilmen Menzel, DeGraaf Absent: None t~AFETY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION FOR CHANNELIZATION OF EAST "L" STREET BETWEEN ~/~,~MELROSE AND NACION The Safety Council having recommended the installation of concrete channelization on "L" Street from Melrose to Nation, City Engineer Cole re- viewed the three alternate methods for alleviating the safety hazard in the area as discussed by the Safety Council. Mr. John Brennan was of the opinion the problem of pedestrian traffic had been overlooked by the engineers when recommending channelization of the street. He suggested for an interim solution the installation of a stop sign at the peak of the hill rather than the channelization. Mr. Richard Simia was of the opinion the channelization would not work in front of Mission Avenue. Mr. Terry Saville spoke against the channelization but stated he would go along with the idea advanced by Mr. Brennan. Mr. Rodney Weakland stated that, in his opinion, grading down of the area would be the only solution to the problem and that stop signs should be used only until this can be done. Mr. Richard Gaomond was of the opinion that grading down of the area would only tend to speed traffic on on "L" Street, as would channelization. He favored stop signs at the crest of the hill with a pedestrian crosswalk. Mro Duane Hughes favored the channelization as recommended by the Safety Council but suggested fencing the channel to prevent pedestrians from crossing "L" Street. Mro James Hayden, Chairman of the Safety Council, stated that the Council had exhausted all means of finding a true solution to the problem. It was their opinion crosswalks would be most dangerous and that channeliza- tion would be the best solution to the problem. He further stated that the Safety Council opposed stop signs at the crest of the hill and felt that to grade the area down would be prohibitive cost-wise and value-wise to the property owners. Councilman'McMains suggested that twenty-five-mile-an-hour signs be p~sted immediately. It was moved by Councilman Smith~ seconded by Councilman DeGraaf, and carried that the matter be referred back to the Engineers for a study of all recommendations made at this meeting and report back to the Council in two weeks.
