McDonald and Teague, Mrs. Hayward, Mr. <br />Messrs. Mohr and Williams. <br /> <br />was called to order by Council <br />March 9, 1970, with the following <br />Gribskov, Mrs. Beal and <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />The City Manager distributed a questionnaire prepared by Mr. Ali Alidjani, who is doing a study <br />community priorities. It is requested that these be returned to the City Manager's 6ffice. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />City Manager said Mayor Anderson has agreed to call a special council meeting .Friday, March 13 at <br />12:00 noon in City Hall Council Chambers for further consideration of this petition. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Public Hearing, Appeal to Conditional Use = In a letter to the Eugene City Council Mrs. Gordon <br />Barron has asked to appeal the decision of the Eugene Planning Commission not to revoke the <br />conditional use permit of Lakewood Mobile Home Park, and'has protested that some conditions of <br />the Planning Commission have not been met. The matter has been reviewed' with the City Building <br />Department and the City Attorney's office. Building Department indicates tree heights are not <br />in compliance with plans previously approved. Regarding turn-arounds, it is understood Eugene <br />Sand and Gravel is to construct them, but is awaiting favorable weather conditions. In answer <br />to Councilman Williams, Assistant City Attorney said that the pr0vision of the zoning ordinance <br />quoted by Mr. Williams deals specifically with revocation of license and provisions of zoning <br />ordinance. This matter pertains to conditions of the permit ,which have not been complied with. <br />The Council has no means for enforcement except revocation. <br /> <br />In answer to Councilman Gribskov, City Manager said the only alternatives the Council has are <br />to revoke or refuse to revoke the Conditional Use Permit. If it is revoked the operator must, <br />within a reasonable period of time, abandon the park or discontinue its use. It is the intent <br />of the Planning Commission to develop revisions to conditional use permit procedure to give <br />alternatives and enforcement powers. <br /> <br />In answer to Councilman'~eague's question, City Manager said a permit could be revoked for a <br />specified period of time. <br /> <br />Morvan Thomas, President of the Planning Commission, explained the Planning Commission action. <br />He commented that the Mobile Home Ordinance will certainly need amendment,. and that the Planning <br />Commission is in the process of studying that ordinance. He said the Planning Commission had been; <br />concerned at putting people out of their homes, and felt revocation was too drastic for the condi-i <br />tions not complied with. The Plannigg Commission sympathised with neighbors, but were unable ! <br />to obtain compliance. <br /> <br />Regarding Councilman Teagues suggestion for revocation for a specified period, Assistant City <br />Attorney suggested continuing the public hearing for 60 days, at which time the Council could <br />consider again the matter of revocation. Owners should understand that if the situation has <br />not been improved, the Council will revoke the permit. The building department would be notified <br />the property must be vacated, and that it can no longer be used as a mobile home park. <br /> <br />Mr. Gordon Barron, 1540 Hughes, agreed with the Attorney's proposal. He said they felt this <br />would be a reasonable approach. He advocated amendment of the ordinance so that some other <br />course could be followed to enforce compliance. <br /> <br />Mr. Jim Britton said he was an engineer doing work for Lakewood Mobile Home Park, He agreed that <br />some procedural matters needed change, not because of errors in the past, but because of lack of <br />experience. He outlined problems and expense incurred, and explained that turn-arounds will be <br />constructed when weather permits. He commented on the 'Sign, and said the Board of Appeals had <br />recently permitted a vari~nce. <br /> <br />There was some discussion about Mr. Britton's statement concerning drawings and problems in <br />arriving at agreement on construction of paving. Public Works Director said his office had just <br />today received drawings, and that they had not been examined. <br /> <br />Councilman Mohr observed that if a vote were taken at this time he would vote for revocation. He <br />wanted the developers to know exactly where the Council stood and the seriousness with which the <br />Council views the matter. If the conditions are not changed, the Council will have no alternative <br />but to revoke the permit. <br /> <br />il <br /> <br />Ii <br />,: <br />Ii <br />'I <br /> <br />Mr. Gribskov, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Beal agreed with Mr. Mohr. <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Loper explained to the Council problems in planting trees, and said they would gladly <br />put up a fence, if the Council required them to do so. <br /> <br />Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to continue the public hearing on appeal to Conditional <br />Use Permit, Lakewood Mobile Home Park, until May 11, 1970. Motion carried. <br /> <br />March 9, 1970 - 1 <br /> <br />...... <br />
