Planners ponder Lebanon's new zone ordinance ll 0 1 .6 if Bryant Park's book meetings starttonight The first of three book discussions for young adults takes place at 7:30 tonight at Bryant Park. The group will meet northwest of the boat ramp. Gary Hunt, assistant to Albany's city manager, will moderate discussion of "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" by Lorraine Hansberry. The Albany Public Library program is coordinated by Mary Shreve. Discussions are open to the public and those attending need not have read the books being discussed.

Other discussions this summer are "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse, moderated by George Bikman, Albany businessman, July 20; and Eugene O'Neill's play, "Long Day's Journey into Night," with Robert Stalick, Albany Union High School District administrator, as moderator. Materials for discussions are available at the downtown library or the library branch at South Albany High School. He said he and Linn County's planner, Richard Rauber, agree densities more than 29 units per acre would be a mistake. Rauber provided much of the ordinance text used in the new ordinance. Planners agreed to meet with the council at 7:30 p.m.

Monday if the council agrees to the session. In other business, planners gave tentative okay to a proposed restaurant-motel-apartment complex at Russell Drive and1 Highway 20. Developers are Juhn Fulton of Interstate Realty and Myron Kauffman, both of Albany, The planners' blessing, however, is contingent on annexation of the four-acre parcel to the city and on presentation of an acceptable final plat to the commission and the council. Linn continues flood disaster relief drive About 14 per cent of the goal to help disaster relief work for South Dakota flood victims has been received by the Linn County chapter of the American Red Cross. Carol Davis, executive secretary, said about 10 contributions totaling $168 have been received.

The county's share in the relief work is $1,189. Contributions may be sent to the chapter office, 425 W. Third Ave. The office has handled inquiries about the health and-welfare of persons in the disaster area. Several were about mid-valley families vacationing in the Rapid City-Black' Hills vicinity.

Man arrested for shoplifting Michael Floyd Middleton, 20, 127 Williams Lebanon, is in the Albany jail on a charge of shoplifting. Bail was Bet at $205. Middleton was apprehended by security personnel at Payless' drugstore, 300 W. Second Ave. He allegedly failed to pay for a bottle of antihistamine tablets.

Two men are in Linn County jail on charges of criminal trespass. Peter Howard Denton, 31, of Cambridge, Mass. and Saul David Levine, 34, of Boston, Mass. were arrested early this morning by Linn County's sheriff's deputies. i LEBANON City planning commissioners here are having second thoughts about density provisions for multiple-family developments as outlined in a three-month-ad zoning ordinance.

Planners agreed Monday a meeting should be held with city councilmen to discuss altering the new provisions for densities. The city's ordinance, adopted in March, sets out densities of 1,250 square feet as "high" density. Suggestions for change came in the face of several requests for building of duplexes and apartments on lots now zoned single-residential. Another factor is recent controversy over the 40-unit Coe apartment complex at North Main and Morton streets. Don Driscoll, city planner, estimates the density of that structure would be 29 units (1,500 square feet each) per acre of the property.

While the ordinance says that would be "medium" density, Driscoll agreed it in fact would be high for that property. Lehgh Park has initial plan has $20,000 available for development through a federal parks grant. Bidding for the work is expected in mid-July. The Salem architectural firm of William K. Riesland and Associates now is completing the working drawings for park improvements.

Lehigh area citizens have been working toward a park for more than 12 years. Preliminary design for development of Lehigh Park has been approved by a neighborhood committee which has been working with the Albany Parks and Recreation Department on the project. This layout for the 4.8-acre site at the southwest corner of 17th Avenue and Center Street is available for inspection at the parks office in city hall, according to Jim Preston, chairman of the Lehigh neighborhood advisory committee.
