Councilor Kelly offered a correction to page 6 of the minutes of September 11, noting that text related to items from the mayor and council were erroneously added to sections one and three. In the minutes for the Joint Elected Officials Work Session of September 13, he noted that on the first page, the reference to Ward 5 should be a reference to Ward 3. On page 2, he said that there was a statement, attributed to him, that he did not make regarding supporting the addition of the Friends of Eugene text related to the location of a node in an area who's residents generate no more than 12 vehicle miles traveled daily. On page 7 of the September 18 minutes, Councilor Kelly changed the phrase "...religious services that exceed 25,000 square feet of total structure area..." to "... religious services, on residentially zoned land, that exceed 25,000 square feet of total structure area." Regarding Item E, Councilor Kelly he said that the language relating to Ballot Measure 84 should read retains Section 15, Article 11, rather than repeals. The motion to adopt the Consent Calendar passed unanimously, 7:0. IV. PUBLIC HEARING: An Ordinance Concerning Assessment Procedures; Amending Sections 7.175 and 7.407 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and Providing an Effective Date Councilor Kelly noted that the ordinance that was before the council had undergone extensive revision in response to public input. He noted that the proposed ordinance had been reviewed by the County's Roads Advisory Committee and the City's Public Works Rates Advisory Committee. He added that the Board of County Commissioners approved the proposal by a 4:1 vote in recent weeks. Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. Ron Cooper, 3019 Delta Pine Drive, said that there were 17 to 19 homes adjacent to North Delta Highway that had no access to the highway by County edict. He noted that the City of Eugene wanted to charge assessments to these homes that had no access to the highway from their property and that was not fair. He commented that access to North Delta Highway was provided off of Delta Pines Road. Jerry Thompson, 110 South Garden Way, said that he had no idea of the revisions that were made to the ordinance. He commented that he got no benefit from Garden Way and did not want to pay an assessment. He called for more information. Mary Wirtz, 3756 Berkshire Street, commented that she had worked with the committee that set up the assessment recommendation. She said that it was a good policy recommendation that brought City and County assessments together. Mayor Torrey closed the public hearing. Councilor Kelly thanked Ms. Wirtz for her work. Addressing Mr. Thompson, Councilor Kelly said that he should have gotten a mailing announcing the public hearing that provided a fact sheet with the revised proposal and outlined changes. Mr. Thompson indicated he had received that information. MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 10, 2000 Page 4 Regular Meeting
