Members present were McGee, Hankins, Hunt, Anderson, Driscoll and Strange. Also present was City Engineer John Warder. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. First order of business was the consideration of an application of the TI~CA for the vacation of a north-south alley from 3rd street to the east- west alley between-erd street and 4th street, Block 3, Cain's Subdivision. The location of the allay in question is immediately west of the TIroA building. During the discussion it was pointed out that this amall section of alley could serve no useful purpose as far as the public is concerned and that the irregular layout of alleys such as this, pose a problem for the Engineering Dept. and their records. It was regularly moved an unanimously passed that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Coumcil that the application be approved. Chairman read a letter from Mr. C. K. Glaze, principal planngmg engineer of the State of Washington Highway Dept. in which he recommends that the Planning Commission secure two or three books from the Public Administration Service to aid us in making a study of the parking problem. Chairman was authorized to send for the books. - Application of Mrs L. G. Lowry for a zoning variance on property located between Alder Street and Penn street, First Street and 2nd Street, to permit the construction of a trailer court was read. General discussion centered around City's authority to insist, if permission is granted, that the court be constructed not only meeting the State Health regulations, but also in a manner that would be attractive in appearance. It was generally agreed that if this were done, favorable consideration w('uld be given as this area would well lend itself to that type of improvement. Matter was layed on the table f or future consideration. Chairman suggested that inasmuch as we were entering a new year with new members on the board of the Planning Co~~ission, that election of new officers was in opder. After discussion, it was regularly moved and passed that Fred C. Strange be re-elected as chairman and H.H. Hankins as secretary. No further business ap~aring, meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
