<br />~ ~@fE: <br />-- La~ Council of Governments <br /> <br />. NORTH PLAZA LEVEL PSB-I125 EAST EIGHTH AVENUE / EUGENE. OREGON 97401 /TELEPHONE (503) 687-4283 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />December 11, 1985 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Metropolitan Elected Officials <br />FROM: Gary Darnielle, L-COG Program Manager <br />SUBJECT: Public Hearing Testimony on the Proposed Periodic Review Order <br /> <br /> <br />On Thursday, December 5, 1985 the Metropolitan Area Planning Advisory <br />Committee (MAPAC) held a public hearing on the Proposed Local Periodic Review <br />Order. The public hearing was opened and closed without any members of the <br />public requesting to speak. Because of a prior comittment, Mr. Jon Silvermoon <br />was unable to attend that portion of the public hearing which was open for <br />public testimony. Since Mr. Silvermoon's request to reopen the hearing for <br />public testimony was refused, staff feels that fairness dictates that Mr. <br />Silvermoon's concerns be conveyed to the metropolitan planning commissions and <br />. governing bodies. The following is a brief discussion of Mr. Silvermoon's <br />comments: <br /> <br />1. Mr. Silvermoon felt that Section A.3. of the Proposed Local Periodic Review <br />Order, which deals with decisions by the local government to delay or not <br />carry out plan policies which relate to goal requirements, should address <br />the following Plan policies: <br /> <br />a. Environmental Resource Element Policy #9 (page 111-C-8) requires a <br />study of the protection and buffering of agricultural lands prior to <br />the next Plan Update. <br /> <br />b. Transportation Element Policy #4 (page III-F-5) encourages the <br />development of automobile-free urban areas and transportation <br />corridors. Mr. Silvermoon felt that the reconversion of the Downtown <br />Mall on Willamette Street, between 10th and 11th, was an example <br />where this policy was violated. <br /> <br />c. Public Utilities, Services and Facilities Element Policy #10 (page I I 1- <br />G-5) "encourages support for central city schools. Mr. Silvermoon <br />stated that the closure of various schools near the downtown core of <br />Eugene indicated that this policy was not being implemented. <br /> <br />d. Public Utilities, Services and Facilities Element Policy #13 (page IJI- <br />G-G) requires a metropolitan-wide Water Master Program. <br /> <br />. e. Parks and Recreation Facilities Element Policy #1 (page 111-H-5) <br />requires a metropolitan recreational facilities plan. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br />
