She noted that the <br />driveway definition had been changed so that it only reflected driveways on privately owned property. She <br />said the warranty period had been redefined and 7.145 had been changed so that it would read that there <br />would be at least a one-year warranty period. She related that there were also construction standards in <br />place and there were several types of construction activity that might require more than a one-year warranty. <br />Ms. Keppler stated that staff determined that the driveway approach length was not a problem; the curb cut <br />length created issues and the language had been changed accordingly. She recalled that there was a question <br />as to how access ramps would impact the property owner and it had been determined that they would only <br />be required if a sidewalk was being built along the property. She underscored that if there was just an <br />addition it was exempt according to code. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing. Seeing no one who wished to speak, she closed the public hearing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council July 16, 2007 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
