Ms. Berrian said that the City Charter requirement of public notice precluded action on the item on <br />that evening as the third and final notice would be running this week. <br />Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. Seeing no one wishing to speak he closed the public <br />hearing and called questions from the council regarding the issue. There were no requests to <br />speak. <br /> <br /> IV. PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLE ACTION: ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS <br /> 7.010, 7.705, 7.715, 7.720, 7.725 AND 7.740 OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971 <br /> <br />City Manager Jim Johnson noted that the title should have made mention that these revisions are <br />necessary to allow for proposed amendments to methodology for the existing systems <br />development charges. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Eric Hall, 304 Waite Street, addressed the elimination of language in section 7.725. He raised a <br />concern that elimination of the language would thwart the efforts of policy 14 in the Growth <br />Management Study. As an example, he cited a building at 11th Avenue and Jefferson Street, he <br />said that the systems development charges had been calculated at $10,000 for $25,000 to <br />$35,000 worth of improvements. He said that the owner would have been better off to demolish <br />the existing building and build a new structure. <br /> <br />David Hinkley, 1308 Jefferson Street, also addressed the language in section 7.725 regarding <br />exemptions for Iow-income housing. He spoke against the exemptions saying that, while he <br />supported public subsidy of Iow-income housing, the methodology used was not the way to do it. <br />He suggested paying systems development charges for Iow-income housing from the general <br />fund to eliminate shortages in the SDC fund. As an alternative to that idea he suggested placing <br />"lOU's" in the SDC fund to be paid by the general fund. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey closed the public hearing and called for questions from the council. <br /> <br />Councilor Lee questioned City Manager Johnson regarding the use of general funds to <br />compensate for the SDC waivers for Iow-income housing. He suggested an allowance in the <br />general fund that would cover anticipated SDC gaps. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly asked Les Lyle to address Mr. Hall's concerns regarding section 7.725 and <br />whether passage would go against goal 14. Mr. Lyle said that he did not believe that would be the <br />case. He said that the language that was proposed to come out of the code would go into the <br />administrative rules that the City Manager would be adopting verbatim. He said that the owners <br />Mr. Hall was referring to could go through the appeals process to request the SDCs be adjusted. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly asked about the public notification and input process was for the administrative <br />rules. Mr. Lyle said that staff was required to notify interested parties 45 days in advance of the <br />proceeding to make the changes. He added that 30 days prior to the proposed changes being <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council August 9, 1999 Page 4 <br /> 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
