. e e A. Legislative Subcommittee Recommendations - February 24, 1975, submitted by Council- man Haws. Mobile Home Legislation - Draft of form letter was submitted to Council members for approval. It would be sent to Lane County legislators and others as needed calling attention to Eugene's concerns about several mobile home bills introduced in the Legislature, some of which would require municipal governments to place mobile homes on single lots and others which would preempt local control. Mr. Haws said the subcommittee was not opposed to mobile homes themselves, rather it was felt more informa- tion was needed before a stand taken. H.B.2692 - Oppose, since it provides for exemption from subdivision or land parti- tion regulations those lands in agricultutral use at time of subdivision or partition and which continue in that use for one year. H.B.2573 - Support, with modification, the provision in this legislation which would prohibit division of assessment against property in city or county unless applicant for such assessment provides evidence that division met requirements of partition regulations. The subcommittee felt that segre- gation of assessments should be permitted even if partition resulted in substandard building lots, and that the fact that lots were or were not substandard at the time of segregation should be recorded with the County prior to segregation. Oppose the provision in this legislation which would allow a majority of landowners objecting to a nonisland or health hazard annexation to nul- lify such annexation. The subcommittee position was based on absence of restrictions in the bill upon definition of landowners, such as amount of land they were required to own. H.B.2l4l - Support. Would allow 10% income tax credit for home improvement. H.B.2299 - Support, Would require distribution of revenues l1Onthly, rather, than quarterly, within five working days of end of preceding month. H.B.2420 - Oppose. Would place time limit of five years within which former owners could reclaim property taken in eminent domain. The subcommittee felt this legislation would hinder long-term development of airports, parks, etc. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Murray to approve subcommittee recom- mendations as presented, including proposed letter with regard to mobile home legislation. Motion carried unanimously. Comm 2/26/75 Approve S.B.5510 - Council was asked for authorization to present city's stand in opposi- tion to this legislation at hearing Thursday, February 27.
