Shirley Collins spoke in opposition to the alignment proposed by staff stating that it would de -evaluate her property considerably. The proposal would destroy 20 feet of usable property for the entire length of her lot. Gene Wilson spoke in opposition to the proposal stating the problem of land locked passes should have been solved before Curtis Development was allowed to built this tract of homes. Bobby Cornelius, representing Pacific Properties, commented that the City Council approved the Curtis Development tract with full knowledge of the easement on record. He added that the four proposals were useless. Guy VanPatten stated that the city should purchase the lot for a city park and have the land owners help with the maintenance. John Schuelser felt the solution to the problem is for the city to purchase the property. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. Chairman Livengood felt the issue did not concern the Commission because of litigation in the courts. He said he would like to wait until the courts made a decision. Commissioner Erskine asked staff to refresh his memory as to why the City Council brought this item to the Commission. Secretary Palin stated that the City Council instructed staff to solve the problem by preparing needs of necessary alternatives. The City Council indicated they did not want something this controversial back to them again unless a solution to the problem had been arrived at. Attorney Art Folger stated that this item could be tabled for three to five years, and if the Commission chooses to table this item to include in the motion for staff to keep the Commission informed of the court action.

Planning Commissioner Porter has challenged this approval by the Board of Zoning Adjustments initiating an appeal to the Planning Commission because access lanes for parking, loading and unloading and driveway access for two-way traffic is not adequate adjacent to the westerly and southwesterly portions of the building adjacent to the doors shown on the plans. Also, there is inadequate parking adjacent to the warehouse office for inquiries, visitors and customers. Staff concurs with this assessment. These items were automatically continued from the Planning Commission's July 16, 1985, meeting because of a tie vote (3/3) on .the applications.

Commissioner Erskine complimented the applicant on his presentation. Commissioner Winchell requested input from staff.
