the company has been mining for 40 years and the land has been owned by the company <br />for over 100 years. He commented that it was not a multi national corporation; it is not <br />doing anything except what it had been for the past 40 years, and as a family for over 100 <br />years. <br /> <br /> Cornacchia believed that at the Planning Commission level they had met their burden and <br />could minimize all potential impacts and do what they were doing with the mining <br />previously. <br /> <br /> Alan Babb, Delta Sand and Gravel, Eugene, stated their application stands on its own <br />merits. He indicated the rules are clear and allow what they are asking for. He said that <br />all goals had been addressed and any conflicts will be mitigated. He said they are asking <br />for only an addition to an existing site. He indicated there would be no change in their <br />operation, no new plants, no additional trucks or truck routes. He said what they are <br />asking for is a longer life for an existing company. He said the land has been owned by <br />various members of the Babb family for over 100 years. He indicated the island they <br />zoned to the north was sand and gravel in 1967. He said the greenway law came in and it <br />took them eight years to solve the issues it brought up. He said as part of their <br />agreement, they gave up 45 acres of mining land to protect the Blue Heron Rookery. He <br />said they have been trustworthy all of their lives. He said they have family wage jobs. <br />He indicated their lowest pay scale is $17.00 per hour and it goes up to $28.00 per hour. <br />He added their benefits are over $700 per month per employee and they are company <br />paid. He stated they are not asking for any public money, but for another 10 to 15 years. <br /> <br /> Doug DuPriest, Eugene, stated he represented the Narvas. He said by participating <br />tonight, they do not intend to waive the objection they raised at the last meeting. He said <br />there were other issues of concern to the planning commission, including agricultural and <br />wells, groundwater, wetlands, flooding, and the applicants made the point that they <br />supplied another set of the applicant’s documents in the form of a binder. He noted at the <br />Planning Commission hearing, the opponents provided their own rebuttal packet. He said <br />they provided a detailed rebuttal of the evidence before the Planning Commission and <br />legal analysis (letter of March 17). He provided a summary of what the Planning <br />Commissions did. He indicated it lists the steps, the sub issues and the jurisdiction. He <br />noted on Step 2, the Lane County Planning Commission found that the rock was not <br />sufficient. He said in Step 3, with both jurisdictions, the impacts that were of concern <br />were dust, noise, groundwater, wetlands, sensitive habitat and agricultural. He added the <br />Lane County Planning Commission was concerned about flooding. He said neither was <br />concerned about traffic. He said the City of Eugene Planning Commission said no only <br />to dust. He noted the Lane County Planning Commission has concerns as to dust, <br />groundwater, wetlands, sensitive habitat, agricultural and flooding. He said neither had <br />concerns about noise. He thought there were serious concerns about noise that had not <br />been minimized. He noted there was no ESEE analysis related to noise. <br /> <br /> DuPriest said the question is whether this is the right place. He noted if the elected <br />officials do not agree it is the right place then they must deny it. He said they could try <br />again or try another location. He said the application is based upon a fiction. He said <br />Page 5 – Joint Elected Officials' Meeting – December 12, 2006 <br />WD bc/m/06121/T <br /> <br />
