ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 53-13-12-F of the City Manager of the City of Eugene ADOPTION OF TEMPORARY CONESTOGA HUT RULE AS A PERMANENT RULE AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 53- 13 -09. The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (EC) authorizes the City Manager to adopt rules for administration of provisions of the Eugene Code. B. On May 30, 2013, Administrative Order No. 53 -13 -09 was issued establishing temporary minimum standards for Conestoga huts for the purpose of implementing Ordinance No. 20503, which temporarily allowed overnight sleeping in a Conestoga but where overnight sleeping would be allowed in a vehicle pursuant to EC 4.816(1). C. On September 25, 2013, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 20517 adopting a permanent amendment to EC 4.816(1) to permit the use of Conestoga huts in overnight camping areas. Due to the adoption of Ordinance No. 20517, and the upcoming expiration of Administrative Order No. 53 -13 -09 on November 26, 2013, it is necessary to adopt the Conestoga but standards as a permanent Rule. D. On October 28, 2013, I issued Administrative Order No. 53 -13 -12 proposing to adopt the temporary Consestoga but standards as a permanent Rule. Notice of the proposed adoption was given by making copies of the Notice that was attached as Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 58 -13 -12 available to any person who had requested such notice, and by publication of the Notice in the Register Guard Newspaper on November 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, 2013. The Notice provided that written comments or objections to the proposed Rule be submitted within 15 days of the first date of publication of the Notice. E. One written comment was received in response to the Notice. A summary of the comment and my findings to the comment are as follows: Comment An e -mail was received expressing concern over the appearance and aesthetics of the Conestoga huts and the impact on neighborhoods from that perspective. The e- mail also opined that the temporary standards should not simply be allowed to become permanent standards, as they will further detract from the beauty of the community.
