COUNCILMAN BRITSCHGI ENTERED THE MEETING AT 8 :45 P. M. PERSONAL APPEARANCE. HENRY McGARVEY RE: PROPOSED WIDENING SPRUCE STREET. A CONDITION SET BY PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN ISSUING USE PERMIT TO TRUSTY & KREISS FOR PERMIT TO OPERATE STOR- AGE YARD AT SHASTA AND SPRUCE. Mr. Bond, representing Mr. McGarvey, appeared before the Council stating that this matter involves the issuance of a use permit to Trusty & Kreiss to continue a business of making redwood shakes. One of the contingencies of issuing a Use Permit is that the property owner deed 10 feet of the property along Spruce Street for the purpose of widening Spruce Street. The property owners feel that the deeding should not be completed until such time as the widening takes place. After discussion regarding the deeding of this 10 foot strip, and the feasibility of acquiring the deed now rather than wait until the widening is to be accomplished and have to remove the buildings, Coun- cilman Spillers brought up the idea of setting plan lines for the 10 foot set back on Spruce Street and a permit be granted to allow these people to operate their business. City Attor- ney advised the Council that the plan lines have been set, and the use permit was authorized providing the owners of the property give •a deed to the property and reserving the right to use it until such time as the City wants it for public use. If the Council decides to do otherwise, the owners have the right to appeal and a public hearing should be set. Mr. Bond stated his appearance was an appeal from the issuing of the use permit under the con- ditions of deeding property to the City. He stated that Mr. McGarvey is asking that the II Council consider removing this one contingency for a use permit. Councilman Spillers moved that public hearing be set for May 31st, seconded by Councilman Royer and carried. Build- ing Inspector advised the Council that the existing building is non - conforming and that Mr. McGarvey was informed of this fact in the Building Inspector's Office. Motion carried. City Attorney advised that if the 30 day period from the time the use permit was issued had expired, then the people will have to make a new application, but if the period has not expired, then the appeal is good and public hearing will be set. He checked in the minutes of the Planning Commission and found that the use permit was granted April 26th, therefore
