ZONING DISCUSSED AT CHAMBER MEETING
Between 40 and 50 city proper
ty owners turned out for the
public meeting called by the Pal
mer Planning Commission last
Thursday evening.
Following a report by Ralph
Moore, Commission president,
property owners were requested
to take each proposal in order
and offer suggestions in regards
to their property.
O. N. Smith and A. L. Smith
objected to the first proposal;
that all of the area North of
Glenn highway be zoned as resi
dential, except the south half of
Blocks 1-2-3 of Smith subdivision
for business and those proper
ties adjoining the railroad right
of-way on either side, which
should be zoned as industrial or
business. The two Smiths stated
they believed that the property
facing the highway should be
zoned as restricted business area,
and offered various reasons why
they felt the highway frontage
property should be zoned busi
ness.
Jack Maze, representing, Mr.
Hartley, requested that property
south of the highway, just south
of the Westiside Service Station
east of Bailey Hill street and
North of Moose Creek road, be
zoned business instead of the pro
posed residential. “The property
was purchased for future busi
ness use,” he said. Maze also
requested, on behalf of Mr. Hart
ley, that Moose Creek road be
straightened out as the City
agreed to do when they accepted
the easement for the property
line.
Questioning about the right of
petition to change zoning, City
Attorney John Shaw stated that
if enough people convince the
Council that it is their desire to
change the zoning, “it should be
alright.” The right of petition is
one of our Constitutional rights,
he pointed out.
F. M. Morton suggested that
Valley Street be designated as
business area to the highway.
In answer Dr. C. C. Bailey,
member of the Planning Commis
sion, stated that the Commission
gave it considerable thought.
There are many residences on
that street; there would be
trouble widening the street. He
pointed out that it is almost im
possible to widen the street at
Koslosky’s and the Palmer Drug
store and that we are already
having traffic problems there.
Other comments were offered
by Mayor Charles Wilson, Mrs.
Keith Lovejoy, Alfred Hagen,
who also carried letters of pro
tests from property owners un
able to be present; John Weisen
berger, Ed Smith, A1 DeJulio,
Mrs. Robert Hardisty, Mrs. James
Smith, Mrs. Gene Kirsch, Henry
LaRose, Dan Sullivan, Mrs. Mar
garet Cope, Ray Lancaster, James
Hurley, Mrs. Cloycine Driggars,
Don Ingalls, and Claude Want.
With few exceptions, those ob
jections to the recommended zon
ing, were in protest of property
zoned as residential.
Mrs. Kope stated that “I am
apparently in the minority. I
bought my property 18 years ago
for a home and as soon as it is
zoned as business the taxes will
go up. I do not doubt that a lot
of people are tying up property
for speculation—I do not want
to stop the wheels of progress but
until this potential business is
developed it seems to me it is
kind of unjust to pay business
property taxes on property that
may in the next 10 years become
business”. Ray Lancaster stated
‘‘I want my property to be used
as residential”.
Property owners requesting
business zoning stated they had
purchased property with business
use in mind. That if the areas
were zoned residential, the in
vestments were lost.
Minutes of the meeting were
turned over to the City Council
for study. Recommendations will j
be returned to the Planning
Commission and additional work
will be done. Other meetings are |
expected before final zoning is j
accepted.
