e specializing in wetlands and forest management. He said the environmental damage to the east pasture and stream is a result of what he said Bob Schutz, PARCS Director, refers to as "really intense usage." He said that the coun- cil should have received photos of the area. He said the City should be concerned about the increased erosion accelerating soil deposits in the Ama- zon channel. Charles Lynch, 420 West 13th Avenue, requested that the yellow stripe prohib- iting on-street parking along a ISO-foot frontage on 13th Avenue be removed to allow additional parking spaces that were eliminated when the avenue was widened. e John Replinger, 41 West 35th Avenue, introduced himself as a member of the Wayne Morse Ranch Off-Leash Association. He said over the past six months, dog owners using the park have been accused of a number of allegations, but that they have been responsible and have been willing to work with the City to alleviate legitimate concerns. He felt that opponents of the dog-off- leash use were taking a "not in my backyard" stand. James Kirk, 1960 East 17th Avenue, expressed concern about a two-hour parking zone that has been created east of the University of Oregon (U of 0), noting that there are times he cannot park in front of his house. He said that parking problems in his neighborhood actually began two years ago, when park- ing meters were installed in the neighborhood. He said he understood that he could purchase a parking permit at an annual rate of $15 and that the City will waive this cost for tenants who reside in the neighborhood and attend the U of O. He said he also understood that the City recently directed the Parking Control Officers to not enforce the two-hour program. He noted that he aired his concerns at the last neighborhood association meeting. He asked that the council address these concerns. David Miller, 1690 South Brooklyn Drive, said he is subjected to being cited for selling his joke books because he cannot obtain a street vending license. He expressed concern about the City not issuing him a license to sell his hand-crafted product but will issue licenses to vendors who sell balloons. He felt it was unfair that he is subject to being cited while a decision regarding this issue is awaiting from the Oregon Court of Appeals. II. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
