REHEARING APPEAL OF LANDIS MORGAN
FROM PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL
OF USE PERMIT NO. 66-20
Public hearing was declared open at 8:14 P.M. for the purpose of
rehearing the appeal of Landis Morgan from Planning Commission
denial of Use Permit No. 66-20 extending Use Permit No. 4-61 to
include the parcel zoned C-2 located at the southwest corner of
Norton and Mason Streets for truck and trailer parking. Affidavit
of Publication giving notice of the hearing was placed on file.
The City Attorney also filed as an exhibit the Petition For Re-
Hearing as filed by Mr. Morgan's attorney.
The following persons testified in opposition to granting the
proposed use permit because of the noise, dust and bright light
produced by the operatior~ of the trucks adjacent to residential
uses, and that the manner in which they are parked on the property
in question obstructs the view at the intersection of Norton and
Mason Streets constituting a hazard to both motorists and pedes-
trians. The opinion that Mr. Morgan has no genuine intention of
relocating his trucking business was also expressed by severai of
the protestants.
Mr. W. L. Allenthorp
Mrs. Adelia Morgan
Mr. Merle Morgan
Miss Grace Morgan
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jensen
Mr. Leo Foster
Mr. Jeff Jacobs
Mr. and Mrs. Fidel Royval
The Petition For Rehearing was read in full by the City Attorney
which states that "petitioner hereby applies for a use permit only
for the period of time necessary to conduct said relocation,
said period of time in no event, and under no circumstances,
to extend beyond one year." Mr. Irish also reviewed the state-
ment made by Mr. Morgan I S attorney at the Counc i 1 meet i ng of
June 15th to the effect that in the event the temporary permit
is granted, at its expiration petitioner would simultaneously
discontinue operations on the property covered by Use Permit No.
4-61.
The Council was also advised by Mr. Foster and other members of
the audience that conditions imposed by the Planning Commission
for the continuance of Use Permit No. 4-61 relative to paving and
drainage had not been complied with by Mr. Morgan within the
time allowed. They were advised these matters should be called
to the attention of the Planning Commission at its next meeting,
and Mr. Morgan s~ted that it had been his intention to request
modification of the requirement for paving to permit dust oiling
of the area in the event the subject temporary permit is granted.
Considerable discussion was held in an effort to work out an
alternate solution to the one proposed by the petitioner which
would be satisfactory to all concerned, including a reduction in
the time permitted for relocation. However, Mr. Morgan stated
that he would definitely need the full year from May 11, 1966
when the permit was originally denied to locate and develop other
property for his use.
A motion by Councilman Scotto that the application of Landis
Morgan for a Use Permit for one year be denied died for lack of
a second.
Further discussion followed during which the petitioner agreed
to furnish the City with a written statement guaranteeing relin-
quishment of both Use Permit No. 4-61 and the subject permit,
if granted, and that he would forego logal action to pursue the
matter further.

On a mOtion by Councilman Harlowe, seconded by Councilman Crook,
it was carried by the following roll call vote the City Attorney
be directed to prepare a resolution granting Use Permit No. 66-20
to Landis Morgan for a period of one year from May 11, 1966,
subject to receipt of written guarantee from the applicant that

will forego legal action in further pursuit of the matter.
