away from the resourcie, and, if that .were nal enioughl, the provisior.i that allowed cmel

Planning Commission and the Clity Counail to provide guidance on what "'single-family

that most of the lots around hlens were civeir 20,000 sq. ft., and eaafl of therm had ]tela
potential to be two building la1s. She asked how many priopertias Ser.isilive Lands
Overlays afflicted, and she askeid fbr eies of hove the neva ordir.iance would be
applied. She said most of Her neighbors would bei shookedto find out they ware hiving on

Carolyne Joncs, 2818 Poplar Way, a Glanmorrie Naighlbarhood Assoaiat:ion board
member, asked. the Commissioners to axamirie the code ahangas "linie by 1 inie" i nsteiad of
relying on the summaries. She op:inelc that publ:ia open houses should nal be utilized
because thlere was no public record cifI what happenad ]hare. She questioned why staff
had not explained why the newly, mapped dasignations were not :inialudeic in tha aurrent
praposal.. Stela said tha City) treated owner, oft plroparty affllcteld ly a stream corridor
ciffarently; than lakafront plroplarty awners. The former lost land they aould othi iise
enjoy, but thei latter arijoyed their boat docks on the water. She said tha City should
aomplenisate stream aorridor landowneins. She neplorted that hem propurty was on the
market and stile had lost pjrospacitiva buyers after they found auil how rr, uah of thea property
was un-bui.:l dal 1 e beclausa it was i n a stream buffer. H aw evar, she noted 1 flat the C:i q had
atiowed applicant, Sistaiis of tha Holy Names, to aut many trees and aoclate a atnatuie 15

William Murphly, 49 Briarwood, voiced several objections. He said thel notice of
Sensitive Lands Crdinanae ahangas was not adaquate and should have baelr.i mailed to all
owners within the] Urban Growtf. Boundary]. He saic thle naw regulations should aflply to
everybody, not just the peopla who were davelloplirig their property. He said the] invasive
pllant.removal raquirelment shlould not be an ordinance, and be felt all it took was making
awners aware) of tha problelm and enicounagiing them to remove ivy by offering them a
disaaunil or..i storm water rr.anagemelnl feels. He objelated 10 the prohibition against putl:inig
a light in a Selnsitive Lands Overlay area, and to the] wildlife fence, whiah hlel said could

subdivision where a neighbor had tried to landsciafle and fenice offlthle natural arca.
Jim Bc llan d, 804 5th Sltret t, said the amiendment summan as were inadequate. He
suggested 1 he Manning Commission address significant policy Tissues first. He explained
that the inifill a.miendments addressed what was to happan when a blousa burned down, but
other amendmanls conifusad tha tissue, because thaiy also addressee demiolitilon. He

amendments. Ha said ilho blousakeepling amendments acntailned a llcl of policy-railatck
changas, such as eliminating the 30% cpen splaae requirement dawntown, and ahimiiniating
the lot depth requiramer . He said a lot of people would be shloGmed to :learn that all
residential zones allowed zano lot hire davelopmennl. He said the code was uninlellligible
and confusing, and adding mora revisioris would not change 1hat. He said testi) riiony
high;lighled the facet that Chapter SIO naoded to be completely rawritfen. During tha

Tka Commissianars described the cunienrt approach) as picking the "low -hanging fruit"
first. Commissiianar Siegel suggested the Commissioners atllempt to "plare it down" 10
arylN those chlanges that were truly hlousekeoping issues and try to edit them so they ware
more logical, uridarstandab le, and easier to explain at the Manning Department countar.
He suggested after that, ilhay address the most prassirng policy issues. Commissioner

Filann ng Commission needed to ldecsp the neighborhlood chains informed so they were all
aware of what was going on.
The Commissioners wondered ifl the Sensilive Lands Atlas should be considered all the
same tine as the Sens:ilive IJands Overlay Dlistricil arnandmients. Mn. Egnen suggested that
al the time the proposed mappling changes were examined it might be found to be
necessary to neoplen csansidenalion of the relaled csode. He explaiIned thle Goal 5
designation plrsocess required a new Bconomic, Sacial, Environmental arc Energy (JESHE)
analysis of each site to nesclve aonifllicts between pnotecilioni and :indivicual owner uses,
and that might necessitate creating some new zone on removing the overlay from a siita.
Fon example, the amendmnnl s assumed that the RFI deis:i gnat ion would be applied along
do Willamette RJvar, and that water -dependent uses would be allowed in thle RP zana.
Howavar, thle analysis mighlt conclude a neva arid different type of rivar-nesounce zone was
warrant etd.
Chaffin Glissan asked ifl stream corridor plrclections should be relaxed on pnoplerties that
were alneacy ceveloped. Mn. Elgnan said the BSEH analysis and designatian prccesss
might conclude that a drainage -way thall_ was cleanly intarmiittanl and going through
managed ground coven did not requiiie as muah regulation. He said the people who
testified that they knew the mapping ahlanges the Clit} was considering appllied to thein
prsoplerty would be included in the mailing of nalica afl thlat heariinig. Commissioner
Brockman indieaited it would make sense to give a stream thal fed into and floated
sediment into the lake a difftmerit classif call ion and greater selbackls than ai dr inage ditch].
l Commissianer S:ieoal wanted tc see the map and the text changes together, sole case
® studies, and test the codec t efbra it was adopted. Mr. Egnen expllaincid 1ha sansitivc lands
code was comphix, buil it m cit state and Mcifto requirements. He offered to provide a ]list
of :ilems in lhcs amendmenis th at would be neicessar) to aornplly with Metro Title 13 at the
next meeting. Commissioners Siegel ssuggeisted loaking at thle Wc9t Hinn ordinance.
Commissioners Brockman stressed the glial was not riecesssanily to nciduce lhle number of
pagcis of codec, but to make it simpllers to nciad. Clcmmiisssionen Olson commenled that C:it)l
stafflr.icieded to be able to explain ill to the public.
Clhaiir Glisson askled how the Cammissicincirs wanted to address' hlausekeepling
amendments. Commissianar Brockman suggested ftsrmiing a study graup to meet ,just
teifore the negul.lar Monday Alanning Commission meetings, go lhrcughl the amendmenls,
and serve as an advisory group to the full Clomur ission, Mn., Bolland voluirleeneid to
participate in thle study group]. The Comer iasionerss notac' there were still some poliay-
related changes in thcs housekeeping portion that should be sorted aul and heard later,

historic structure in a residential neighborhood; tt. a "`wildlife ftinae," and how la deal with

Chain Glisson dinecsted stafflto rseplort at the next meetingl what sensitive lands changes
ware necessary to comply wilhl Mcstno Title 13. She urged all] Commissioneris to take lime
