City Planner Plescher explained the location of the rezone and answered questions of the
C~,,~issioners regarding the location and use of the land.
Mayor Jarstad inquired whether there were anyone present who wished to speak in favor of the

in opposition of the rezone. ~tr. Charles Ullock spoke against the rezone.
Mr. Davily, Chairman of the Building CuJ,,,,ittee and Past Exalted Ruler of the B.P.O.E., was
present to answer questions.
Conmissioner Clark stated that the presentation of the rezone, illustrated by maps and the recommend~
tion of the Planning Conmission, etc., and the testimony given, did not indicate sufficient
grounds for denial of the rezone.
Motion by Conmissioner Clark and Conmissioner Schoneman to approve the rezone for the Elks. Under
~s~sion, Mr. Ullock inquired whether the City would have any control over the land's use after
the rezone was granted, and the reply was affirmative. Motion carried unanimously.

-~/rOR REZONE
Mayor Jarstad announced it was the time and place set for the delivery of a decision on the
Mentor rezone, which was delayed at a previous meeting in order to investigate allegations made
regarding an illegal parking lot. Mayor Jarstad stated the allegations regarding the illegal
parking lot had been investigated at the July 21, 1970 meeting and found to be false.
Mayor Jarstad opened the floor for comment on the rezone. A resident in the area requested
to know what would be built on the lot if the rezone were granted. Mr. Mentor stated that informa-
tion was included on the application for rezone and the City Clerk may read it aloud. City Clerk
stated the application read "office space and parking space." Mr. Mentor stated the lot was a
small one and the parking facilities would be under the building for this reason.
Mrs. Justesen spoke in opposition to the rezone and Mr. Mentor personally. Mayor Jarstad
requested Mrs. Justesen to confine her remarks to the issue at hand--which was not Mr. Mantor's
character or business ethics but a request for rezoning of an area on Pacific Avenue.
Mrs. Justesen continued to direct remarks against Mr. Mentor, and Mayor Jarstad requested she
speak no more, as she could not abide by his request. Mr. Thorne, 903 Pacific, spoke against
the rezone and Mr. Mentor personally.
Commissioner Clark stated he felt the testimony given at the public hearing, and here today,
had been primarily against Mr. Mentor personally and not pertaining to the rezone. Mr. Clark
also stated he felt the rezone was a natural growth of the business district and in keeping with
the Comprehensive Plan, and that perhaps this land should be rezoned a portion at a time but with
the residents in this area being made aware of the eventual zoning change; also, that this rezone
was a logical move.
Motion by Cu,~dssioner Clark and C~issioner Schoneman to approve the rezone. Under discussion,
~sioner Schoneman stated business is moving out on Pacific, also moving out Sixth Street.
Comnissioner Clark stated ~r. Mentor will be expected to follow the Building Code and its
requirements on this building, just as any other resident of the City or contractor who builds
in the City. Mayor Jarstad stated that the value of older homes in this area would not
depreciate, as it has the potential of becoming commercial property and the value does not
depreciate. Motion carried unanimously.

Waterhouse Co., to submit preliminary report. Copies were given to all the members of the

sentatives of Price Waterhouse were doing. Subsidy for July, August, and September: $10,658.
