<br /> Howe recalled the Board of Commissioners and the city councilors have heard the <br />presentation by the applicant and opposition and the planning commission had heard the <br />same information, but it had been refined on both sides for tonight’s presentation. He <br />said the planning commission came up with recommendations. (Copy in file). <br /> <br /> Pape asked what they could accept with regards to traffic impacts and noise levels. <br /> <br /> Howe said for each identified impact, there has been information presented that those <br />could be minimized. He added if they are minimized within the required regulations, <br />then under the Goal 5 Rule, the impact has been minimized. <br /> <br /> Pape asked if a minimization meant a smaller increase in it of to drop below what existed <br />prior to the application. <br /> <br /> Howe responded that it meets the agency standard. <br /> <br /> Pape recalled there was testimony regarding agriculture. He asked if that should be taken <br />into account. <br /> <br /> Howe said that impacts on agriculture need to be significant to the point that they are <br />affecting the farm management practices or increasing the cost for those farm <br />management practices. He said if they thought the operation would have those types of <br />effects, he said then those would need to be minimized. <br /> <br /> Pape asked if there were Class 1 or Class 2 soils if they take into account taking the soils <br />out of farm production or if it was not a criterion. <br /> <br /> Howe said it is not a criterion. He said the standard under the rule says if it is certain soil <br />classifications then it can’t be of a certain depth and the volume of the aggregate resource <br />has to be significant. He added if it is significant and meets the volume and depth <br />requirements, then that eliminates whether it should be farmland or sand and gravel. He <br />added if it is a significant sand and gravel resource, then that is the direction they should <br />go. <br /> <br /> Morrison noted there was an e-mail about a question raised regarding the subject site that <br />was included in the City of Eugene’s residential land study in 1999 from Dan Revelle. <br />She asked if it was really included in the residential land study. She indicated they were <br />supposed to have a specific supply of those. <br /> <br /> Kurt Yeider, City of Eugene, didn’t think it would have been included because it is <br />located outside of the urban growth boundary. <br /> <br /> Morrison recalled in Nefler’s testimony he was commenting about the complaints that <br />were filed with LRAPA. He mentioned one was Irvington. Morrison said Irvington was <br />Page 14 – Joint Elected Officials' Meeting – December 12, 2006 <br />WD bc/m/06121/T <br /> <br />
