HomeMy WebLinkAbout03/13/1978 Meeting - M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL March 13, 1978 Regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 7:30 p.m. on March 13, 1978, in the Council Chamber, with the following Councilors present: D. W. Hamel, Ray Bradley, Eric Haws, Jack Delay, Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith. Councilor Tom Williams was absent. I. Public Hearings A.Amendments to Tree Cutting Ordinance Proposed amendment distributed to Council. Manager said this was basically the ordinance which Council had adopted at its February 22 meeting, with the refinement of those amendments which include prohibition of cutting on less than a 20,000 square-foot lot unless a building permit is issued, no more than five trees per year from a lot of 20,000 or more square feet, with a tree defined as a 25-inch instead of 36-inch circumference. e Kay Holbo, 2090 Broadview, Chairperson, Tree Preservation Committee, reviewed for Council the process it had gone through in recognizing the need to preserve the trees in Eugene, especially in the South Hills area. She explained the major .changes in the amendments to Council. No tree can be cut in Eugene without a permit except: 1) on lots or parcels less than 20,000 square feet on which a building exists or a building permit has been applied for, in which case the individual property owner may cut as many trees as he wishes; 2} on street rights-of-way or public utility easements during the installa- tion of improvements such as sewers and streets; 3} only five trees per year may be removed on lots or parcels over 20,000 square feet. The City will monitor cutting of trees through the Building Department and it would be hoped the amendments would prevent unrestricted tree cutting in the City. - Stan Long, City Attorney, said the ordinance presented to the Council for this evening's meeting represented the entire tree cutting ordi- nance in a complete comprehensive package. The ordinance addresses occupied parcels of land (one that has a dwelling or a building permit for a dwelling); Tree Appeal Board; the size of tree has been reduced; same procedure for obtaining a permit; same criteria under which a permit is to be issued; and the appeal section is the same. He noted the exceptions which were changed somewhat included two pro- hibitions: 1} an emergency situation; and 2} an occupied parcel of private property consisting of less than 20,000 square feet do not need a permit for felling trees. There was a slight rewording in Section 6.330(g} in that any felling necessary to install or maintain improvements such as streets and sewers within publicly-owned rights-of-way or utility easements are not subject to the restrictions of the other sections in the Code. Also, an exception has been made in that a permit is not needed for cutting trees in the. final approval for a PUD. 3/13/78--1 155 Mr. Haws wondered how the exceptions work and who would determine whether or not they were applicable. Mr. Long said an individual would cut a tree at his own risk, and if he were to make an error in judgment he would do so at his own peril. Mr. Long said the Parks Department and the Building Department probably would be receiving many requests asking for advice before trees were removed. He also noted private citizens usually do not cut on rights-of-way, but the City and EWEB would be responsible for clearing trees in those areas. - Mr. Bradley wondered if there were anything in the Code to prevent the following situations: a developer who owned 50 acres and subdivided it into 100 parcels with 20,000 square feet or less from applying for building permits and clear cutting the area. Mr. Long said there was nothing to prevent such a situation, but the practical economic constraints of a person obtaining that many permits and the fact that the lots would be worth less with no trees would probably curtail such activity. Public hearing was opened. Those speaking in favor of the tree cutting amendment were as follows: . Jerry Jaqua, 2490 West 21st Avenue, Hawkins Highlands Neighborhood Organization, referred to the Zellner tree cutting in the South Hills. He felt the proposed tree ordinance would tighten the restriction and will eliminate further wholesale cutting. Jim Johnston, 179 West 37th, Crest Drive Neighborhood Association, 4IIt expressed that Association's concern about the saving of trees especially in the South Hills area. He referred to the Zellner cutting of trees in that area and said it was his understanding that Mr. Zellner was going to cut 60 more trees recently. Additional cutting of trees is contrary to the Cityls planning and at odds with the proposed ordinance. He urged Council to adopt the proposed ordinance to prevent further deterioration of the valuable resource in the City. Those speaking against the tree cutting ordinance were as follows: Robert Horne, 2333 West 29th, who cited the recent ice storms and the danger of trees falling on his house. He questioned who would be liable if in a strong wind storm or a subsequent ice storm a tree were to fall across his house. He was also concerned about the safety regarding cutting of dangerous trees. He noted he was a member of the Lane County Safety Commission and asked, again, who would be liable for the trees falling on other people's property. George Zellner, 92456 Coburg Road, addressed the question of dangerous trees. He noted if houses were built under or next to large trees and strong winds were to occur, there could be a danger involved to the houses located in such an area. He refuted the statements that he had clear cut in the Panorama Subdivision area. He said all small - 3/13/78--2 '5~ Ii -- trees 12 inches and under are still standing and he has never had the intention of cutting smaller trees. He also said if a person were to look at the Third Addition of Panorama, it. would be very difficult to see where the trees had been cut. Regarding the statement he was going to cut 60 trees, he said he had plans to cut only 21 trees which was what the law permitted. He had also notified all involved of his plans to cut those trees and had complied legally. Regarding fir trees, he noted it was impossible to top them as sucker limbs would grow and create a danger in that strong winds would possibly cause them to fall through roofs of houses. He noted in December 1977 during the heavy winds and ice, there were many instances, not only in Eugene but in the Beaverton area, where trees fell through houses. He cited a feeling of responsibility to those persons who live in the Panorama area to protect them from trees falling on their houses. He said he would demand the City pay a bill if he were to be sued because of trees falling if he were not allowed to remove the ones he considered to be dangerous. Also, he noted that some people buy a lot from him but do not build for several years. He questioned what will happen to those dangerous trees on that lot that might endanger the houses in the adjoining lots before a building permit is obtained so that trees could be cut. He felt his subdivision in the Panorama area was one in which plans were made ahead to clear out the dangerous trees and to save the hardwood trees. He felt he had done a very good job in clearing the trees without leaving scars and had been very careful to locate the roads parallel to the hills so that there would be no erosion. He noted this most recent instance of cutting 21 trees would be more costly to him than any profit he might accrue. e Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. In response to the question of liability, manager said it was his assumption that the liability would be that of the property owner where.the tree is located. In the instance of dangerous trees in the streets, that would be the City's liability. Regarding dangerous trees, there was a provision in the ordinance for removing same if there is an appeal made to the Tree Appeal Board. Thus, it would be possible to take care of dangerous tree situations. , Torn Slocum, 2125 Fairmount Boulevard, member of the Tree Preservation Committee, questioned what would happen if a permit was requested, denied, and the person went ahead and cut the trees. City Attorney replied he could not see a case where a permit would be denied if a dangerous tree were involved. He said it is a discre- tionary decision to be made by the City, and the City would not be liable; however, he doubted such a situation would occur. - 3/13/78--3 \51 Regarding liability, City Attorney said the general rule about cases involving tree cutting is that generally there is no liability because the owner has to know the tree is dangerous and refuses to do anything about it. It is difficult to determine that the owner does know a ~ tree is dangerous. Suing public bodies for failing to cut trees has generally been unsuccessful. However, he said it was theoretically possible. With respect to street trees, he said the City is usually responsible and does take care of those dangerous tree situations. However, he noted again that it was at the discretion of the City whether or not the tree was dangerous and whether or not it should be cut. C.B. 1621--Concerning tree preservation; amending Sections 6.300, 6.305, 6.310, 6.315, 6.320, 6.325, and 6.330 of Code 1971; and declar- ing an emergency was read by council bill number and title, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in fu 11 . Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council and that enactment be considered at this ti me. Mr. Obie said in response to Mr. Zellner's concern about felling of dangerous trees, the ordinance covers that. . Mr. Bradley expressed a concern in that the ordinance does not permit massive removal of trees as he illustrated earlier. He felt it was a balancing question of preservation of trees in the South Hills as ~ opposed to increasing housing supply in Eugene. He wondered if the ... ordinance could be amended or changed to prevent full-scale removal of trees on occupied lots less than 20,000 feet. Mr. Lieuallen had some concern with the ordinance if it applied only to the diameter, thus being aimed only at Douglas firs as they are measured in a different way than others. He wished the ordinance were tighter, but felt it was a stop-gap measure and perhaps a more comprehensive approach could be reached later. Ed Smith, Parks Director, said the ordinance was not aimed at one specific tree, but at all trees. They are measured at 4-1/2 feet above the ground, the standard way to determine diameter on any tree. He said that requirement of diameter would apply to all species of of trees including maple, alder, and oak. Ms. Smith asked a member of the Tree Preservation Committee to explain how it arrived at the 20,000 square feet figure. Kay Holbo said it was a process of compromise. Mr. Slocum clarified if a person has a one-half acre lot, he could not clear cut, but could cut only five trees until he had applied for a building permit; at that time he 3/13/78--4 e (58 e could cut as many trees as he wished. The ordinance provides that an owner of an improved lot could cut all trees down in order to plant lawn or do as he wished with his property. He said the Committee had attempted to minimize the work of the Parks Department having to look at every single tree-cutting situation. Also, the ordinance amend- ments would give the individual property owner the right to do as he wishes with his property, and the ordinance would prevent indiscrimi- nate tree cutting. The principal problem was cutting a large number of trees within a subdivsion. He felt the ordinance was adequate and Mr. Bradley's concern was something that probably would not happen. Ray Wiley, 2100 Shields, member of the Tree Preservation Committee, noted that a 20,000 square foot lot was a large lot for the City of Eugene, there being very few that size in subdivisions. He said if an individual owner had a acreage or a 20,000 square-foot lot, he could cut five trees per year. The Committee originally wanted the building permit application to be the key for cutting trees. He noted. the time between the application for a permit and actual starting of construc- tion would allow a developer to clear a building site without a building permit and thus allow him to complete the house three to four days earlier. Before a person applied for a building permit, a set of plans with a site plan must be submitted. The individual then applies for the permit and pays the permit fee. He said in regard to Mr. Bradley's hypothetical situation, it was highly unlikely that a person would apply for 100 permits as it would be too expensive. In response to another question from Mr. Bradley, Mr. Wiley said most builders and developers build a house one at a time. However, he noted two situations in which there was a builder/developer or just a developer. The developer sells the lots to the builder. The builder- developer might take out a permit for two to three houses at one time, and he noted most of the houses in the South Hills area are pre-sold situations. - Mr. Delay reminded the Council that it was dealing with an ordinance specifically addressing a particular kind of problem. The intent of the ordinance is to try to move how the vegetation is to be dealt with to people who will be living on the property. He thought the ordinance addressed that very issue. Mr. Bradley was still concerned about his hypothetical situation in that there was no protection to prevent someone from clear-cutting in those areas. He felt the ordinance was placing a higher priority on certain parts of the city, in this instance on the hillsides. He also felt it was restricting what a person would do with his own property. He noted for the record that he was totally opposed to the provision dealing with 20,000 square-foot lot size. He felt the ordinance was not doing what it should be doing if Council wanted to place a high value on tree preservation as opposed to what a person can do with his own property. . 3/13/78--5 15~ Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be ~ approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All Councilors . present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18123. B. Amendments to Taxi Deregulation Ordinance Amendmends distributed to Council. Manager said the major aspect of the amendments would be to deregulate rates in that cabs will be able to have taxi meter or zone rate charges. A 30-day notice requirement prior to changing rates is included, with rates to be published in the newspaper prior to the change. Rates are to be prominately displayed in printed type, with the zone or taxi meter charge system indicated on the outside of the cab. The dome light need not be on when the taxi is for hire; also included were the tightening of regulations on the condition of the vehicle. Manager said these were changes requested by Council when it considered the ordinance at its February 22 meeting. Public hearing was opened. Alan Wagner, 4502 River Road, supported passage of the ordinance. However, he had some questions he wished Council to consider and delegate staff to answer. First, he wondered if the cabs operated by any company had to be exactly the same color. Second, he wondered what rates must be posted: Discounts and special services or just rates for local transportation. Third, he wondered what constitutes machine lettering and how that is to be placed on the side of the car. He felt it would be better to have block lettering. Fourth, he wondered what constitutes a major dent, noting this would be a subjective decision made by law enforcement officers. He was in favor of deregulation in rates and expressed hope that it would not be a mistake that a minimum rate was not set. He felt the City and the cab companies could work together to make the ordi- nance work. - Johnnie Miller, 1141 Main; and James Perkins, 360 W. 1st Ave., both supported the ordinance. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Manager said as he understood the present ordinance, it required merely an indication on the outside of the cab whether it is zoned or metered. The rates themselves were to be on printed cards inside the cab. Sherm Flogstad, Finance Director, said the ordinance required indications as to whether or not it was a metered or zoned rate as well as rates that could be observable from the outside of the cab. 3/13/78--6 . f~ I: - City Manager noted the emergency clause had been eliminated, thus allowing the taxicabs 30 days to comply. C.B. 1609--Regarding taxicabs; amending Sections 3.005, 3.010, 3.353, 3.355, 3.360, 3.365, 3.375, 3.380, 3.385, 3.390, 3.405, 3.410, and 3.415 of Code 1971; repealing Sections 3.370 and 3.420; adding Sections 3.363, 3.380, 3.383, 3.391, and 3.392 was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at thi s time. In regard to the block lettering versus machine lettering, Mr. Flogstad said he felt they were identical. The intent was to eliminate hand lettering. Vote was taken on the motion, which passed unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be approved and given final passage. e Mr. Bradley said he would vote no because he did not believe in deregulation of rates in this industry. Mr. Haws said he was glad the City had taken this small step to deregulate rates in this business. Roll call vote was taken on the motion, which passed with all Councilors voting aye except Mr. Bradley voting no. The bill was declared passed and numbered 18124. C. Code Amendment re: Placement of Facilities for Care of Alcoholics Unanimously recommended by the Planning Commission February 7, 1978. Manager said current zoning requires conditional use permits in RP, R-4, and C-1 zones in which other group-care homes are outright uses. The amendment would allow alcoholic care facilities to be in the same category as other group-care facilities which remain condi- tional uses in some zones. Jim Saul, planner, said the amendment was initiated by the Planning Commission and in effect would be to treat the facilities for alcoholics as a conditional use in RA, R-1, R-2, R-3, RG, C-2, and C-3 zones; and would allow as an outright use in R-4, RP, and C-1 zones. He said currently the classification of facilities for the care and/or lodging of a1cholics is different e 3/13/78--7 , ~I from that placed on any other kind of group-care home in the city. He said the Planning Commission received no testimony in opposition, but considerable support for the amendment from many organizations ~ in the area. He noted the amendment had been referred to all neighbor- ,.., hood organizations with only Churchill and Fairmount responding. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. C.B. 1622--Concerning placement of facilities for the care and/or lodging of alcoholics; amending Code 1971; deleting Section 9.492(3} was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at th i s time. Mr. Bradley felt it more wise to have conditional use of the alcoholic group-care homes in commercial and retail areas. Mr. Saul said the emphasis on locating them in C-1 or C-2 zones was misplaced because, as a general rule, group-care facilities are not located within either of those zone districts. He said the emphasis should be on the question of whether facilities for alcoholics should be treated differently than other group-care facilities are treated within the ci ty . Mr. Delay noted the testimony given before the Planning Commission by Sarah Mahler, representing the West University Neighbors in which ~ it was felt by the neighborhood organization that group-care facili- ~ ties should be treated equally in all zones. He wondered why these facilities should be outright uses in one zone and conditional uses in others, and questioned whether or not they should simply be all conditional uses in all zones or outright uses in all zones. He referred to outright use in R-4 zones, and felt perhaps this zone district was becoming "second class." Mr. Saul replied the Planning Commission had considered those questions on four different occasions. However, he felt that was a different subject than what was before the Council this evening. He said the problem is that there are any number of uses within an R-4 District, which for a variety of reasons are permitted as outright uses and are either not permitted at all or treated as conditional uses in other zone areas. He said by nature of the. facilities, group-care homes were usually located near the down- town area close to the services required by the clientele. Mr. Delay said he wanted to alert Council that there are other kinds of problems in various parts of the city as it looks to the future. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. 3/13/78--8 e Ib1. I - e - I l...
