<br />ATTACHMENT B <br /> <br /> <br />B. WORK SESSION: <br /> <br />Delta Sand and Gravel Metro Plan Amendment <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy asked if any councilors needed to declare ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark indicated that prior to his being seated as a councilor he had reviewed the record and had <br />attended the other hearings as a spectator. While he did not believe he had a conflict or a potential conflict <br />of any kind, he was acquainted with one of the neighbors involved in the issue. He said he had spoken of <br />the issue with his friend, but he did not believe anything of substance had transpired nor had he engaged in <br />any further conversations with his friend since being seated on the council. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka noted that he had also familiarized himself with the record and attended the public hearing as <br />he had also not been seated on the council when this was first initiated. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor stated for the record that she had asked the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency (LRAPA) to <br />send information about complaints that had been received and she had been present at LRAPA meetings at <br />which area residents had complained regarding the activities of Delta Sand and Gravel. <br /> <br />Kurt Yeiter, Principal Planner for the Planning and Development Department (PDD), stated for the record <br />that after Ms. Taylor’s contacts had become known to staff the PDD had advertised it to all of the parties <br />involved during the public review process and those parties were given an opportunity to respond. He <br />believed it was no longer a conflict. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said Mr. Yeiter would review where the process was in time with the council. He <br />noted the record had been closed and the County was in charge of the process. <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter explained that this was the first opportunity for an elected body to deliberate the application <br />from Delta Sand and Gravel for a Metro Plan amendment, zone change, and variances to allow an <br />expansion of its existing operation. He noted it was located just outside of the Urban Growth Boundary <br />(UGB) but just inside the Metro Plan boundary. This required that the amendment had to be approved or <br />denied by both the City and the County. He said the zone change, the variance, and the opportunity to <br />impose conditions rested with the County and this would be deliberated after the Lane County Board of <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 21, 2007 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
