R.V. Park at Bridge & Leonard Rd Okayed & HBDC’s Denial of Mural Upheld
The Grants Pass City Council denied an appeal of the Urban Area Planning Commission’s approval of an R.V. Park at the corner of Bridge Street and Leonard Road.
Consolidated Land Holding, L.L.C. will move forward with phase one of the R.V. Park which will initially create a 63-space facility with an almost 3,000 square foot utility building containing showers, laundry and recreation room. Phase two will add an additional 24 spaces that will be added once a wetlands area is mitigated.
The vote to uphold the Planning Commission’s approval was 6 to 2 with Brian DeLaGrange and Rob Pell casting the dissenting vote.
Later in the meeting the land for the R.V. was annexed into the City of Grants Pass.
The Council then heard a second appeal, this from the Committee on Public Art, after the Historic Building and Sights Commission denied a request for a mural designated for the alleyway that connects the Beaver Parking lot at the corner of 7th and ‘G’ to Northwest 6th Street. The proposed mural depicted dogs in various historic apparel. The vote to overturn the HBSC’s denial failed on a five to three vote.
The council vacated property lines all within city owned Baker Park because the installation of the new Portland Loo fell inside the set back criteria to one of the property lines.
Then the council approved an annexation request of 4.69 acres at 948 Northeast Hillcrest Drive owned by the Mid-Rogue Foundation into the city limits. The request passed on a five to two vote and will be have the second reading at the next business meeting.
