R~.: ~~ If; W recommendation. The Eugene Planning Commission is trying to add to the ability to keep that balance by minimizing the impact of the sand/gravel operation. There were no more questions from the Eugene City Councilors. Otto t'Hooft declared the Commissioners had spent approximately 2-1/2 hours earlier this morning, going over the various concerns.
