Mr.
Martin stated that he is confused as this meeting was advertised as a
first reading and evidentiary hearing, and asked if there will be a second
reading? George Burke answered
that there has to be a unanimous decision to have a second reading.

regarding the procedure.

ordinance will be at the City Council meeting and this is not an

Document
by Judy Martin.
Martin said he is concerned about Public participation and opinion
regarding the Planning Commission, and that the Planning Commission is not
allowing public participation. Martin
said the citizens were not allowed to be on the committee for CCI.
Martin said the committee should not influence the out come of a
meeting, they should not participate in the decision of the meeting, and
that Council should only be in attendance to learn about the issue.
Commissioner
Lee Riechel moved, seconded by Commissioner Bill Tizzard to
have the City Attorney
review Norman's documents and the legality of the CCI and have that
process reviewed and have said documents will be forwarded to Attorney
Gary Darnielle for review.
The
Motion was adopted unanimously 6-0
Mark
Chandler 4934
Lakeshore
Drive
,
Florence
,
OR
97439
Chandler
said this ordinance has been worked on for one year, and there were two
sub-committee's working on it, the second committee was appointed by City
Council after openings were advertised and public processed.
Chandler
said an effort
has been made to contact every general contractor and excavating company
to attend meetings.
Chandler
said a model was used to draft the ordinances to
protect water usage and there was a lot of public input, but the
subcommittee was not happy with the model used.
Theresa Saffee??
8550
Lake Road
,
Florence
,
OR
97439
Saffee said she is concerned about health issues in the community
and healthy
organic gardens. Saffee
requested to exclude the controlling of gardens from the
erosion ordinance. Saffee
said the notice on the Dunes City Web site informing
the public of the final erosion draft was only emailed to certain
people and was
not noticed properly in the newspaper. Saffee said it was
advertised as a CCI
meeting and was before a Council not the public.
Theresa requested that any
notice be advertised via newspaper because not every one has a
computer, and
that most of the people who normally attend these meetings were not
present due
to
improper notice and that we need to have public participation.
The Planning Commission
decided that the ordinance needs more discussion, revised and evaluated, and that City liability
information should be included. Any
contracted work by the city needs to have guidelines to protect the city.
There is a loop hole in the ordinance that if you build 10,000 sq.
ft at a time you could avoid the ordinance.
A plan must be submitted when the permit is issued but if the
development is phased right you would be able to avoid the ordinance
altogether. After much
discussion a consensus was made to continue the revision of this ordinance
to
Tuesday, May 1, 2007
at
6:00 a.m.
The meeting adjourned at
11:00 p.m.
