Mrs. Beal was not sure the Council should act in this matter. Dr. Purdy explained that people had expected to be able to vote in May, and that his motion would enable the Council to call an election 'without making a, recommendation. I[ I, I' II I! " , i I Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. d. caurel Hill Citizens Committee - Mr. Williams asked if it would be proper for the Council to defer development for a reasonable period of time on conditional use permits and PUD developments in this particular area, and whether it would be appropriate to prohibit issuance of building permits for C-l property in that area, to defer development until such time as a plan was developed for the entire area. The City Attorney said the City would be legally required to issue a ,building permit for any outright use on any property. A moratorium could be called with regard to conditional use or planned unit developments, which are subject to criteria. Mrs. Hayward asked if building permits comilld be denied because of lack of sewers. Director of Public Works said Lane County Sanitarian could deny building permit because of health hazard, but it was his opinion that this area was entirely sewered. In reply to:Mr. Williams, Planning Director said he would like the Council to take some action, and had suggested that Mr. Durchanek come to the Council. He felt the Planning Commission was an advisory body of the Council, and that estab- lishment of a citizens committee would have to be sanctioned by the City Council. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Council endorse the request of the Laurel Hill Citizens group to meet with the Planning Commission and develop a general plan for the area, and that the. Council ask the Planning Commission to take their views into consideration when developing a g~neral plan for that area. This should be completed by July 1st. Conditional Use Permits should be restricted while the plan is being developed. Mr. Allen pointed out that use of septic tanks is not a basis for denying a permit in the City. If they are required, they must meet the approval of the Lane County Health Department, even though they are inside the City. Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. Mayor Anderson left the meeting and Vice President Teague took the chair. Mr. McDonald moved seconded by Mr~ Teague that the Council direct the Planning Commission to work with residents of the Laurel Hill area to develop a general plan for the area by July 1, and that no conditional use permits be issued in the interim. Councilwoman Hayward said she had read testimony presented by citizens of Laurel Hill at a previous meeting, and had some questions relating to the area. In answer to her question, the Manager said the City of Eugene is still operating under the 1959 General Plan, which inrlludes the Laurel Hill Area. This plan will be in use until the new General Plan has been adopted. He said the questions of traffic, schools and parks were all considered by the Planning Commission at the public hearing for zone change. Mr. Harold R. Holets, 1702 Riverview Street, said he was a member of the Laurel Hill Citizens Association, and invited the Council to attend a meeting Thunsday evening, when they will attempt to get acquainted and get the General Plan for the area started. He discussed the changes the suggested housing project will create in their valley, and suggested that there may be better understanding of suggested zoning when they have met and studied the proposed general plan. In answer to Councilwoman Hayward's question, Planning Director said a portion of Mr. Weaver's property is zoned C-l and this allows density up to R-4 under the old plan.
