Commission Says No To Lutheran Church

The city council, sitting in regular session Monday night. heard re- port from the Planning and Coming Commission to the effect that the Fairanks Evangelical Lutheran Church not be allowed to purchase block I36 in Weeks" Field subdi- vision for the construction of a new church
 The commission report stated, ssWe are in sympathy with the many organizations seeking suitable sites for new facilities: however, every request for land in the Weeks Field area must be viewed with caution. The area is open and unsopiled by haphazard construc- tion. It should be remembered, more over. that at least eight lots are already owned by religious groups" :"
 The commission recommended that the block be retained for the eventual development of a neigh borhood shopping center.
 President of the Lutheran con- sregation Anson Pratt said that a member of the commission had told him that the issue would not be brought up until last nights meet ing, so they had made no effort to present their case to the planning and zoning authorities. He clearly resented the fact that the eommis- sion had made their decisions when the church had no spokesman pres ont.
 Pastor of the church, Rev. Jess Thompson, stated that although block 1855 is presently tied up as bus barn, he had understood that that was the spot being considered for the shopping center. He coun- tered the commissions statement about ''haphazard construction" with we're not just going to put up an old shack, you know"
 New councilman Harvey Ander- son showed pictures of several shacks located on Weeks Field, sjust to show you how beautiful the area is now He concluded that the planning and zoning commits sion had been possibly a little high handed and taken action ferred to the City Manager for prematurely.n The matter was re- study.
