Carol Heinkel, Project Coordinator, LCOG, entered into the record two <br /> letters, one from the Eugene Water and Electric Board and the other from Oregon <br /> Communities a Voice in Annexations by Jerry Ritter. <br /> <br />Geor.qe Grier, 13421/2 N. 66th Street, Springfield, was concerned about the public process <br /> for siting urban facilities outside of the urban growth boundary. He noted the focus <br /> was policy G 29. He said siting urban facilities on resource land is new, with not a <br /> lot of processing. He said it was appropriate to consider the siting of urban facilities <br /> on resource lands not as a director's decision but an opportunity to have something <br /> heard before the planning commission or hearings official. He noted the urban <br /> facilities process would have to be run through Lane County. On storm water <br /> system improvements (page 102), he said there are a series listed for Cedar Creek <br /> and the East Springfield area. He said that carrying capacity for Cedar Creek did <br /> not meet current build out and would not meet anticipated build out. He said those <br /> problems needed to be addressed. He added if this was the land use decision for <br /> the projects, there wasn't a lot that the public could provide testimony about. He <br /> noted these involve projects on private land where the property owners had not <br /> been notified. He said when these items come back in a more detailed form, the <br /> public has the opportunity to have public hearing. <br /> <br /> Grier said the projects that are anticipated by the policy change occurred at <br /> the legislature (HB 2865, referenced in staff notes and in responses to his previous <br /> testimony.) There were several attempts at the legislature to address the potential <br /> to site urban facilities on resource lands and the version that was passed wasn <br />'t clear. He stated the language said that a utility facility was necessary for public service <br /> but it wasn't clear whether an urban storm water detention or treatment facility <br /> would be allowed. He added there was an application for a build out in an area <br /> adjacent to a floodplain and the developer proposed storm water detention and <br /> treatment offsite. <br /> <br /> Grier explained if this wasn <br />'t discussed, an application would come to Lane County where it is the director's decision <br /> (and discretionary use) and could be approved without a public hearing. He said <br /> these facilities are sited in the floodplain, agricultural or forestland and they could <br /> impact the way people live. He said there are serious issues that affect people who <br /> live adjacent to the urban area. He said it would be a good opportunity for the <br /> people in the neighborhood to interface with the design process so any <br /> unanticipated consequences could be mitigated. He asked for a public hearing <br /> when an urban facility is to be sited on rural resource land. <br /> <br />There being no one else signed up to speak; Mayor Torrey closed the Public Hearing for <br />the City of Eugene. <br /> <br /> <br />
