The amendments all appear to be housekeeping in nature. The HBA gives <br />special support to the following amendments: <br /> <br />9.0500 which (among other things) broadens the definition of canopy trees to <br />allow for the use of conifers <br /> <br />9.2761 (5)(d) which would provide an additional exception to the maximum lot size to <br />enable the protection of natural resources. (Question: Natural resources <br />are not defined in Chapter 9. If this is limited to only Goal 5 resources in <br />riparian areas, we would encourage a larger definition to include such <br />natural resources as trees, etc.) <br /> <br />9.2761(6) which clarifies that specific percentages of duplex, triplex, and fourplex <br />lots are permitted in R~ 1 subdivisions. <br /> <br />9.2775(1) which eliminates the language in the purpose section pertaining to the <br />screening of flag lots <br /> <br />9.2795 which changes the solar setback exemption to those building lots which <br />would shade adjacent lots because of the lot orientation. <br /> <br />9.5500 which makes the amount oflandscaped area for multifamily construction <br />equal to the amount required to be in open space under 9.5500(9). <br /> <br />9.6650(3){c) which penuits a permanent sign for a manufactured dwelling park. <br /> <br />2053 Laura Street Springfieldf OR 97477 (541) 484-5352 FAX: (541) 484-5386 <br />
