Mr. Whitlow suggested that Mr. Sercombe and Mr. French meet to develop an e appropriate course of action. Mr. Sercombe explained that the City Council had changed the vacation procedures to allow for a different process for unimproved alley and street vacations. He stated that the seven-day notice of the assessment as required by the new ordinance had not been performed. In addition, he stated that no agreement on the assessment had been reached by the City and the applicant. Mr. Sercombe stated that the suggestion to postpone the item was based on that failure to notify and the lack of any agreement on the assessment. With regard to the constuction schedule of the applicant, he recommended that the City Manager issue a temporary occupancy permit under Chapter 5 of the Eugene Code for the property to be vacated effective from September 1 through 15. He said the permit could be issued if the City and the applicant were able to agree on an assessment amount and that amount was paid by the applicant. He said staff hoped that this process will allow the vacation to proceed while still allowing the applicant to meet his construction schedule. He said Public Works and Planning Department staff will meet with the applicant after the council meeting. In response to a queston by Mr. Peting regarding the approval of the vacation, Mr. Sercombe stated that the council has not yet approved the vacation. He said his proposal was for an administrative permit which would allow the applicant to occupy the property prior to the council's consideration of the issue. He stated that there was usually no impediment to council approval of the vacation if the assessment issue was resolved. Councilor Ball entered the meeting at this time. e ORDINANCE FOR SECOND READING: IV. DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CODE AMENDMENT Assistant City Manager David Whitlow introduced the agenda item.
