Commission
Says ‘No’ To
Lutheran Church
The city council, sitting in regular
session Monday night, heard a re
port from the Planning and Zoning
Commission to the effect that the
Fairanks Evangelical Lutheran
Church not be allowed to purchase
block 136 in Weeks" Field subdi
vision for the construction of a
•ew church.
The commission report stated.
"We are in sympathy with the
Cnany organizations seeking suitable
Hites for new facilities: however,
•very request for land in the
Weeks’ Field area must be viewed
with caution. The area is open and
unsopiled by haphazard construc
tion. It should be remembered, more
over. that at least eight lots are
Already owned by religious groups.”
The commission recommended
that the block be retained for the
eventual development of a neigh
borhood shopping center.
President of the Lutheran con
gregation Anson Pratt said that a
member of the commission had told
him that the issue would not be
brought up until last night’s meet
ing, so they had made no effort to
present their case to the planning
and zoning authorities. He clearly
resented the fact that the commis
sion had made their decisions when
the church had no spokesman pres
ent
Pastor of the church. Rev. Jess
Thompson, stated that although
block 135 is presently tied up as a
bus barn, he had understood that
that was the spot being considered
for the shopping center. He coun
tered the commission’s statement
about “haphazard construction”
with “we’re not just going to put
up an old shack, you know.”
New councilman Harvey Ander
son showed pictures of several
shacks located on Weeks' Field,
"just to show you how beautiful
the area is now.” He concluded that
the planning and zoning commis
sion had been “possibly a little
high handed" and “taken action
ferred to the City Manager for
prematurely.” The matter was re
study.
