The City Manager pro tem of the City of Eugene finds that: A, Sections 2.019 and 6.645 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorize the CityyManager to adopt rules deemed necessary for the administration and enforcement of the provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971. B. Pursuant to that authority andbased on the findings eonta nedinAdministrative flrdex No. 58-03-01 issued on January 15,2003, 1 proposed the amendment of the Erosion Prevention and Construction Site ManagementPracticesAdministrativeRule andrepealofAdministrative Order No. 59-00-26-F. C. Notice ` of the proposed amendment was given by making -copies available to any person who had requested such notice and by publication for five consecutive days in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the City, on January 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23, 2003. Notice provided that written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of the first publication. - Two comments were ;received to which I make the following findings: Comment l: The definitionof'MaximumExtent Practicable" provides that apractice or action shall be considered "`cost-effective" so long as the cost is less than or equal to $1.50 per square foot of disturbed area. Costs to be considered include implementation and maintenance ofconstructonsite management measures. Costs not consideredinclude: design -preparation, preparation of construction site management plan/tenTlate, actions taken to correct violations, -including any civil penalties imposed, and permanent landscaping and associated fees. Why shouldn't design andproces sing costs be included in the per square foot cost? Findin : The revised definition of "Maximum Extent Practicable" removed permit fees from the costs that will be considered cost-effective in order to focus on the implementation and maintenance ofBMPs. Design preparation, preparation of construction site management plan/template, actions taken to correct violations, including any civil penalties imposed, and permanent landscaping and associated fees, have never been included in the $1.50 calculation. The $1.50 per square foot of disturbed area is to represent the effective implementation which is strictly material and installation costs to protect a site. No changes were made to this rule as a result of this comment. Administrative Rule 1 C:CIIMPV03F,i i*iouYn v-2dt>.wpd
