Linda Burns (Journal No. 5-77-86) Located at 460 North 21st Street on the southwest corner of 21st and 'D' Streets (Church of the Brethren). The CUP, which was granted on November 2, 1977, allows the operation of a day care center in the R-l District. The CUP received a six month extension on June 21, 1978 and is now due for consideration of another ex- tension to allow the operation of the day care center to continue. Linda Burns, 1826 'F' St., was present to represent this request and stated that she wished to continue operating the day care center. Dick Johnson.said that he wasn't aware of the status of the CUP but noted that the City had not received any complaints from the neighbors. Mac Matsler reported that the building had been inspected two weeks ago and was found to be in satisfactory condition. Dick Gassman asked Ms. Burns if she operated a school on the property. Ms, Burns said yes. Mr. Gassman asked if she planned to continue the operation. Ms. Burns said yes, but ex- plained that another organization planned to use the center, too. She was in the process of looking for another location for the day care center. MOTION: It was moved by Dick Gassman and seconded by Mel Suit to grant a one year extension, so that Linda Burns would be able to operate the day care center while searching for another location. The motion carried unanimously. George Travess (Journal No. 5-77-12) ( Located at 6364 Main Street on the north side of the street. between 60th and 66th Streets. This property has a CUP which was approved on February 2, 1977 to allow the construction of a church in the RA District. Construction is complete and the Planning Commission may wish to remove all time limits from this CUP. There was no one present to represent this request. MOTION: It was moved by Mel Suit and seconded by Dick Gassman to remove all time limits from the CUP. Chairman Adams asked Dick Johnson if all the requirements for the CUP had been completed. Mr. Johnson said that the Building Division had reported that construction and landscaping were completed. The motion carried unanimously. Frederick R. Frey (Journal No. S-77-76) Located at 3001 Main Street, A CUP was granted October 5, 1977 to allow a towing and auto service facility in the M-3 district. The towing and auto service facility is operating and a slatted fence has finally been installed,; as required by the CUP, However, the installation of sidewalks along-Main Street and the signing of a street light agreement, both requirements of the CUP, have not been met and the owner of the property has so far refused to meet these tHO conditions. The Planning-Commission must now deal with this issue as the Staff, through repeated tries, has not been able to gain compliance with the conditions of the CUP. { '\ Joe Leahy reported that Dick Johnson had received information which may have obviated Page 52 or ?lanning Commission Mi~S ~ Conditional Use Permits February 21, 1979 the need for a public hearing at this time. Dick Johnson read the following letter from George Wingard: Thank you for your letTer of February 12, 1979 regarding the property on 3001 Main Street in Springfield. It is possible that . somewhere in the transferral of conversations that some misunderstanding may have been formed. It is my rec- ollection that I agreed to installing sidewalks adjacent to Main Street property when sidewalks were installed upon the adjacent properties and I will agree to do that. I don't believe I did agre~ to street light improvement contracts in my conversation with the council members. I did not receive a copy of the improvement agreement with your letter. I would appreciate you sending me one. I will sign the sidewalk.improvement agreement when you send it. I appreciate your courtesy in this matter. . Mr. Johnson explained that some members of the City Council were up in Salem to meet with a local delegate for various legislations. He understood that Mr. Wingard had agreed to sign improvement agreements for street lights and sidewalks. ~ MOTION: It was moved by Dick Gassman and seconded by Sylvia Hoffman to direct the Secretary to send another letter and copy of the conditional use permit conditions to George Wingard. :bick Johnson is authorized to change the requirement from instal- ling sidewalks to signing an improvement agreement for sidewalks along Main Street! and that the .owner has a maximu~ time limit of five years to install sidewalks. Mr. ~ohnson is to point out to Mr. Wingard that it is necessary to sign an improvemerit agreement for street lights, also. The mOTi?n also includes a 30 day-extension of the conditional use permit so that Mr.l F~ey can continue his auto towing service./ The cUP is to be placed on the agenda for the second Planning Commission meeting in March. Chairman Adams asked Frederick Frey if he understood the motion. Mr. Frey said he thought so, but complained that he had been receiving mail from the City at his home address rather than 3001 Main St. Chairman Adams pointed out that there seemed to be a problem with lessees and lessors agreeing to conditions for CUP's. It puts lessees into a difficult situation. He' suggested that the Planning Commission discuss the problem and perhaps agree to a policy. The motion carried unanimously. 2.
