At the Nov. 19 Planning Commission meeting, a representative described the scope of the proposed addition to the Oregon Fire Department building at 100 W. Washington Street. According to the account recorded in the meeting, the addition would "double the size of the building and include sleeping space, new offices, and pull-through bays."
The speaker (identified in the minutes as Mike Knoup) said the fire district plans to finance the project with a combination of existing funds, grants and local lenders. Knoup also stated that the addition "will not impact the Farmer's Market area," and commissioners discussed excluding the two parcels used for the market from the variance application and considering a 20-year time limit on any granted variance.
