But not state agency rules. 375 00:12:45,995 --> 00:12:47,794 Not stated. 376 00:12:47,794 --> 00:12:50,149 So you're saying they would challenge 377 00:12:50,149 --> 00:12:51,289 the harks 378 00:12:51,289 --> 00:12:53,480 rulemaking straight 379 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,534 to the Court of Appeals prayer. 380 00:12:55,534 --> 00:12:56,959 And we I mean, 381 00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:58,520 we intentionally tried to do this. 382 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,519 It's simply breaking new ground 383 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:02,824 legally, but would be a whole period. 384 00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:04,264 There's a point of option one 385 00:13:04,264 --> 00:13:05,644 is to eliminate a step. 386 00:13:05,644 --> 00:13:08,555 Eliminate if you want to do this. 387 00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:11,059 If you want to give parks the final say, 388 00:13:11,059 --> 00:13:12,140 we tried to design it so they 389 00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:13,564 could have the final say. 390 00:13:13,564 --> 00:13:15,350 And generally appeals 391 00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:16,639 would be to the parks rule. 392 00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:17,960 All the testimony would go 393 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,069 before the parks gets done. 394 00:13:19,069 --> 00:13:20,479 In other words, we just leave 395 00:13:20,479 --> 00:13:22,355 the process at the state park rulemaking. 396 00:13:22,355 --> 00:13:23,509 So what are the criteria? 397 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:25,370 It's not the local comprehensive plan 398 00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:27,710 and it's all the goals except for 3.4. 399 00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:28,970 If they are consistent 400 00:13:28,970 --> 00:13:30,155 with their leaves list. 401 00:13:30,155 --> 00:13:32,179 Criteria for the appeal are the goals and 402 00:13:32,179 --> 00:13:33,755 the master planning criteria 403 00:13:33,755 --> 00:13:35,089 and any other necessary statute, 404 00:13:35,089 --> 00:13:37,490 I suppose, but no local plan policy. 405 00:13:37,490 --> 00:13:40,775 Now, I will also an option too. 406 00:13:40,775 --> 00:13:42,079 The other thing to recall 407 00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:43,489 is what we've done with option two is 408 00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:44,690 we've actually done something we 409 00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:46,429 haven't done with any interstate agency. 410 00:13:46,429 --> 00:13:48,199 Option two is crafted to say that 411 00:13:48,199 --> 00:13:50,119 local government does 412 00:13:50,119 --> 00:13:51,634 make the final decision. 413 00:13:51,634 --> 00:13:55,069 But if they disagree with 414 00:13:55,069 --> 00:13:56,840 parks master plan on something that 415 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,149 has nothing to do with the state goals, 416 00:13:59,149 --> 00:14:01,625 they lose that ability. 417 00:14:01,625 --> 00:14:03,799 Let me, let me give you an example. 418 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:06,005 I think for a state highway, 419 00:14:06,005 --> 00:14:07,610 the local government has to approve 420 00:14:07,610 --> 00:14:09,739 that comprehensive plan amendment 421 00:14:09,739 --> 00:14:10,850 or in some other way 422 00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,274 allow that state highway. 423 00:14:12,274 --> 00:14:14,164 But local governments say, 424 00:14:14,164 --> 00:14:14,780 you're going to put 425 00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:16,429 all that Red Asphalt in there. 426 00:14:16,429 --> 00:14:17,495 We would rather it was great. 427 00:14:17,495 --> 00:14:18,785 We don't like the color. 428 00:14:18,785 --> 00:14:20,510 They can deny that. 429 00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:22,069 But under this option 430 00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:23,239 to have local government 431 00:14:23,239 --> 00:14:24,500 says We don't like the color 432 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:26,180 of the bathrooms in the park. 433 00:14:26,180 --> 00:14:28,999 Option two would not allow local governments 434 00:14:28,999 --> 00:14:32,539 to change the master plan for that reason. 435 00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:34,789 They can only change the master plan for 436 00:14:34,789 --> 00:14:39,184 a statewide goal reason or to 96 or 296. 437 00:14:39,184 --> 00:14:41,614 So even option to 438 00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:43,369 limit the authority of local government. 439 00:14:43,369 --> 00:14:44,899 You don't have to write it that way. 440 00:14:44,899 --> 00:14:46,355 We wrote it that way because 441 00:14:46,355 --> 00:14:48,379 the local government representatives 442 00:14:48,379 --> 00:14:49,985 on the committee had said 443 00:14:49,985 --> 00:14:52,085 that was their main their main concern. 444 00:14:52,085 --> 00:14:55,220 I just don't see any point and I 445 00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:56,930 don't understand taking it 446 00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:59,700 out of the comprehensive plan. 447 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,544 Clarify that. 448 00:15:06,544 --> 00:15:14,194 If you master planning department authorizes 449 00:15:14,194 --> 00:15:17,989 only those users that are consistent 450 00:15:17,989 --> 00:15:21,740 with the list rule. 451 00:15:21,740 --> 00:15:23,254 The commission would have said 452 00:15:23,254 --> 00:15:24,800 that's consistent with gold. 453 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,909 Three. 454 00:15:25,909 --> 00:15:30,320 Local government did not say, 455 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,505 we're not going to approve 456 00:15:31,505 --> 00:15:33,049 your master plan because we 457 00:15:33,049 --> 00:15:34,639 don't like the list of users. 458 00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,275 We think Goal three, 459 00:15:36,275 --> 00:15:40,280 making an independent validation to go three. 460 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,379 Further limit the Elizabeth used. 461 00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:50,300 We're not going to approve the master plan 462 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:56,150 because it could say that in 463 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:57,799 parks could go to Luba and 464 00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:00,184 argue that our rule 465 00:16:00,184 --> 00:16:02,389 said that math that clock I'm as county could 466 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:04,759 only say that if goal three was violated, 467 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:06,049 Luba would then decide 468 00:16:06,049 --> 00:16:08,180 whether the proposal from parks did or 469 00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:10,100 did not violate goal three of 470 00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,515 Luba decided it didn't violate goal three. 471 00:16:12,515 --> 00:16:13,940 Black in this county would not have 472 00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:16,320 been able to limit that list. 473 00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:18,379 I think they would have 474 00:16:18,379 --> 00:16:19,775 to challenge power rule. 475 00:16:19,775 --> 00:16:21,110 And if they if 476 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:22,520 they wait and if they don't challenge 477 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,749 our rule is inconsistent with 478 00:16:23,749

First of all, 1161 00:45:05,035 --> 00:45:07,449 it contains the text of Goal 11, 1162 00:45:07,449 --> 00:45:09,219 As you'll see from 1163 00:45:09,219 --> 00:45:15,099 the underlined and bold middle of that, 1164 00:45:15,099 --> 00:45:16,554 there is what we are proposing. 1165 00:45:16,554 --> 00:45:18,489 I'll just walk you through 1166 00:45:18,489 --> 00:45:20,470 that and then we'll see if you 1167 00:45:20,470 --> 00:45:21,340 need some other background 1168 00:45:21,340 --> 00:45:22,179 would try to provide 1169 00:45:22,179 --> 00:45:26,225 them for sewer systems. 1170 00:45:26,225 --> 00:45:28,325 Most of that is 1171 00:45:28,325 --> 00:45:30,170 the first half of that amendment, 1172 00:45:30,170 --> 00:45:31,849 concerns sewer systems outside 1173 00:45:31,849 --> 00:45:33,244 of urban growth patterns. 1174 00:45:33,244 --> 00:45:35,600 Right now, the Commission's rules 1175 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,390 prevent counties. 1176 00:45:38,390 --> 00:45:39,589 We think it should be all 1177 00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:41,000 over government from 1178 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,909 extending a sewer line 1179 00:45:43,909 --> 00:45:45,230 from an urban growth boundary 1180 00:45:45,230 --> 00:45:47,224 to land outside of boundary. 1181 00:45:47,224 --> 00:45:50,270 And right now, gold 11 prohibits 1182 00:45:50,270 --> 00:45:52,624 the establishment of a new sewer system 1183 00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:55,229 in rural areas. 1184 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:58,279 If there's a health hazard and there are 1185 00:45:58,279 --> 00:46:00,319 health problem as there are a number 1186 00:46:00,319 --> 00:46:03,065 of those out in rural areas. 1187 00:46:03,065 --> 00:46:06,394 Exceptions process must be used. 1188 00:46:06,394 --> 00:46:10,895 And for some time now we've been hearing 1189 00:46:10,895 --> 00:46:13,790 about how complicated it 1190 00:46:13,790 --> 00:46:16,535 is to solve a health problem anyway. 1191 00:46:16,535 --> 00:46:20,030 And once residents finally agree, 1192 00:46:20,030 --> 00:46:21,170 and often it's very 1193 00:46:21,170 --> 00:46:22,640 difficult to get agreement on 1194 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,084 a sewer system or some other solution 1195 00:46:25,084 --> 00:46:26,659 to a rural health problem. 1196 00:46:26,659 --> 00:46:28,864 They then fell face the task 1197 00:46:28,864 --> 00:46:31,835 of an exception to go 11. 1198 00:46:31,835 --> 00:46:33,619 And it's not real clear 1199 00:46:33,619 --> 00:46:35,210 how one takes that exception. 1200 00:46:35,210 --> 00:46:36,965 So we could have opted for 1201 00:46:36,965 --> 00:46:39,769 a much more clear path for an exception. 1202 00:46:39,769 --> 00:46:41,360 And what we've opted to do is to 1203 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,829 propose to you just simply to amend 1204 00:46:42,829 --> 00:46:47,195 Goal 11 so that for a health problem, 1205 00:46:47,195 --> 00:46:49,220 sewer lines could be 1206 00:46:49,220 --> 00:46:51,769 provided system or an extension from 1207 00:46:51,769 --> 00:46:54,109 a UDP or some other solution of 1208 00:46:54,109 --> 00:46:55,670 that nature would be authorized 1209 00:46:55,670 --> 00:46:57,590 without an exception to the goal. 1210 00:46:57,590 --> 00:47:01,189 We intend this to be, 1211 00:47:01,189 --> 00:47:02,929 first of all, only for something 1212 00:47:02,929 --> 00:47:04,490 that's legitimately a health problem. 1213 00:47:04,490 --> 00:47:07,415 And we don't have we have in statute, 1214 00:47:07,415 --> 00:47:09,320 a way to declare 1215 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,410 a health hazard that's rarely used. 1216 00:47:12,410 --> 00:47:14,479 It is, it is highly controversial and it 1217 00:47:14,479 --> 00:47:16,130 contains some timelines so 1218 00:47:16,130 --> 00:47:17,269 that once you get a declaration, 1219 00:47:17,269 --> 00:47:18,590 you have to resolve the problem in 1220 00:47:18,590 --> 00:47:20,434 60 days or something of that nature. 1221 00:47:20,434 --> 00:47:22,999 We don't didn't want to 1222 00:47:22,999 --> 00:47:27,245 insert ourselves into that mandatory process. 1223 00:47:27,245 --> 00:47:30,184 But what we are trying to do here is invent 1224 00:47:30,184 --> 00:47:32,990 something whereby dq would 1225 00:47:32,990 --> 00:47:34,339 be in charge declaring 1226 00:47:34,339 --> 00:47:36,155 something in a rural area 1227 00:47:36,155 --> 00:47:38,374 a health problem because 1228 00:47:38,374 --> 00:47:42,960 of existing development. 1229 00:47:43,390 --> 00:47:46,340 Probably unfailing septic systems, 1230 00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:47,959 which is usually what occurs. 1231 00:47:47,959 --> 00:47:49,609 We don't intend this to be 1232 00:47:49,609 --> 00:47:50,735 used prospectively. 1233 00:47:50,735 --> 00:47:52,369 That is, somebody who had come 1234 00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:53,419 forward and say we want to 1235 00:47:53,419 --> 00:47:54,499 develop in a rural area. 1236 00:47:54,499 --> 00:47:55,970 If we develop it at this density, 1237 00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:57,019 it's going to be a health problem. 1238 00:47:57,019 --> 00:47:57,890 So we're a health problems 1239 00:47:57,890 --> 00:47:58,955 will get a sewer line. 1240 00:47:58,955 --> 00:48:00,560 That's not the intent. 1241 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,390 One of the things we've heard in 1242 00:48:02,390 --> 00:48:04,640 our ten hearings around the state that we've 1243 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,119 now completed is we need to make a lot of 1244 00:48:08,119 --> 00:48:09,799 the details more clearly that with 1245 00:48:09,799 --> 00:48:11,044 definitions or with 1246 00:48:11,044 --> 00:48:12,529 additional detailed language. 1247 00:48:12,529 --> 00:48:14,660 So that's what we will 1248 00:48:14,660 --> 00:48:16,999 be providing for you for your next meeting. 1249 00:48:16,999 --> 00:48:18,559 But for now, I thought I'd raised to you 1250 00:48:18,559 --> 00:48:20,824 some of the main concerns we have. 1251 00:48:20,824 --> 00:48:23,119 So in a nutshell, all we're doing here is 1252 00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:25,190 streamlining provision of sewer 1253 00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:27,184 to rural health problem areas. 1254 00:48:27,184 --> 00:48:29,330 The second piece of this, 1255 00:48:29,330 --> 00:48:32,119 which is the water, rural water systems. 1256 00:48:32,119 --> 00:48:34,460 You chose in 94 when 1257 00:48:34,460 --> 00:48:37,445 you adopted amendments to go 11. 1258 00:48:37,445 --> 00:48:42,170 To not really, to land solidly one 1259 00:48:42,170 --> 00:48:43,505 way or another on when 1260 00:48:43,505 --> 00:48:46,625 a water system is an urban use. 1261 00:48:46,625 --> 00:48:48,335 You didn't declare that. 1262 00:48:48,335 --> 00:48:50,420 What you did declare was 1263 00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:54,065 that county may not use 1264 00:48:54,065 --> 00:48:55,909 an extension or an establishment 1265 00:48:55,909 --> 00:48:57,319 of a water system in 1266 00:48:57,319 --> 00:48:59,795 a rural area as 1267 00:48:59,795 --> 00:49:03,245 a reason to raise the density. 1268 00:49:03,245 --> 00:49:05,990 And what prompted that discussion 1269 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:07,069 was that we understand there's 1270 00:49:07,069 --> 00:49:10,009 about ten counties with a set of 1271 00:49:10,009 --> 00:49:13,070 dual it's a very old process 1272 00:49:13,070 --> 00:49:15,450 of a dual zoning for 1273 00:49:15,450 --> 00:49:17,375 a residential areas whereby 1274 00:49:17,375 --> 00:49:19,684 the plan might say five acres. 1275 00:49:19,684 --> 00:49:21,319 However, if water is 1276 00:49:21,319 --> 00:49:23,329 available and it's water system is available, 1277 00:49:23,329 --> 00:49:25,625 that jumps to one acre or half-acre. 1278 00:49:25,625 --> 00:49:28,325 So this dual provision where 1279 00:49:28,325 --> 00:49:30,979 you were stating through 1280 00:49:30,979 --> 00:49:32,479 your goal 11th Amendment, 1281 00:49:32,479 --> 00:49:34,430 you can't use a water system 1282 00:49:34,430 --> 00:49:36,020 as a reason to up the density. 1283 00:49:36,020 --> 00:49:37,204 We don't want densities 1284 00:49:37,204 --> 00:49:39,289 in rural areas to be that high. 1285 00:49:39,289 --> 00:49:41,599 That's as far as you went it 1286 00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:43,820 went to court in Lincoln County, 1287 00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:48,664 where a very fairly large subdivision that 1288 00:49:48,664 --> 00:49:51,199 looked to be fairly dense and fairly 1289 00:49:51,199 --> 00:49:54,800 urban was appealed by the department, 1290 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,080 where the court got concerned 1291 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,250 about whether that 1292 00:49:58,250 --> 00:49:59,780 was an extension or 1293 00:49:59,780 --> 00:50:01,700 an establishment of a water system. 1294 00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:03,919 Since there was a large water line 1295 00:50:03,919 --> 00:50:04,969 going down the highway, 1296 00:50:04,969 --> 00:50:08,879 pass this large 60 acre parcel. 1297 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,764 Parcel touch that waterline. 1298 00:50:11,764 --> 00:50:13,730 The rule on your golden apply it 1299 00:50:13,730 --> 00:50:16,039 wasn't an extension, wasn't an expansion. 1300 00:50:16,039 --> 00:50:17,390 And the court went ahead 1301 00:50:17,390 --> 00:50:18,574 and interpreted the language. 1302 00:50:18,574 --> 00:50:19,849 I think we think in a way 1303 00:50:19,849 --> 00:50:21,860 that mission hadn't intended. 1304 00:50:21,860 --> 00:50:24,724 And so what we've done as reward that. 1305 00:50:24,724 --> 00:50:26,990 And the main thing we've 1306 00:50:26,990 --> 00:50:29,240 changed is that just the presence of 1307 00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:31,459 a water system cannot be used as 1308 00:50:31,459 --> 00:50:35,270 a basis to allow that density raised. 1309 00:50:35,270 --> 00:50:36,619 And so then we don't have 1310 00:50:36,619 --> 00:50:37,820 to argue about whether 1311 00:50:37,820 --> 00:50:40,114 it's an extension or an establishment if, 1312 00:50:40,114 --> 00:50:42,980 if it's just there for whatever reason. 1313 00:50:42,980 --> 00:50:45,470 And we think that solves most of 1314 00:50:45,470 --> 00:50:49,020 the issue that was raised by the court. 1315 00:50:50,530 --> 00:50:53,299 And there's some details 1316 00:50:53,299 --> 00:50:54,739 we can go into if you wish, 1317 00:50:54,739 --> 00:50:56,554 but that's that's the main point. 1318 00:50:56,554 --> 00:51:00,860 Now, we did not have a policy in 94. 1319 00:51:00,860 --> 00:51:03,680 We never adopted a policy that clearly 1320 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,620 stated what happens to 1321 00:51:06,620 --> 00:51:08,794 those sewer systems that are 1322 00:51:08,794 --> 00:51:12,080 already in rural areas 1323 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,470 or that already serve rural areas because 1324 00:51:15,470 --> 00:51:16,909 they straddle an urban growth boundary 1325 00:51:16,909 --> 00:51:19,114 and partially serve rural areas. 1326 00:51:19,114 --> 00:51:20,974 We just use 1327 00:51:20,974 --> 00:51:23,389 your rule prohibited the extension, 1328 00:51:23,389 --> 00:51:25,114 new extension to rural areas, 1329 00:51:25,114 --> 00:51:26,555 and the establishment of a new system, 1330 00:51:26,555 --> 00:51:27,635 but it left silent. 1331 00:51:27,635 --> 00:51:31,579 What happens to those 31 sanitary authorities 1332 00:51:31,579 --> 00:51:33,410 that already exist in the state, 1333 00:51:33,410 --> 00:51:35,570 some of which were not sure how 1334 00:51:35,570 --> 00:51:38,945 many serve rural areas. 1335 00:51:38,945 --> 00:51:41,420 We know about a couple of them clearly do. 1336 00:51:41,420 --> 00:51:43,084 So. 1337 00:51:43,084 --> 00:51:47,074 We proposed to you 1338 00:51:47,074 --> 00:51:48,440 a policy in this in 1339 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:49,909 this set of goal amendments that 1340 00:51:49,909 --> 00:51:52,759 were authorized districts to 1341 00:51:52,759 --> 00:51:54,980 serve areas 1342 00:51:54,980 --> 00:51:57,200 within the boundaries of that district. 1343 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,589 We did so harshly with 1344 00:52:00,589 --> 00:52:02,480 the understanding that generally where 1345 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,240 there's already sewer lines and rural areas, 1346 00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:06,665 they pretty much fill 1347 00:52:06,665 --> 00:52:08,254 the district boundaries. 1348 00:52:08,254 --> 00:52:10,310 And we now have a survey. 1349 00:52:10,310 --> 00:52:13,355 So far I've only 16 of the 31 districts. 1350 00:52:13,355 --> 00:52:14,899 And we find that most of 1351 00:52:14,899 --> 00:52:17,780 them don't have land outside the boundaries. 1352 00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:19,340 We think that where that is, 1353 00:52:19,340 --> 00:52:22,129 they're generally the district boundaries 1354 00:52:22,129 --> 00:52:23,884 are already served by sewer lines, 1355 00:52:23,884 --> 00:52:25,774 but we have discovered 1356 00:52:25,774 --> 00:52:27,410 recently that there are 1357 00:52:27,410 --> 00:52:28,744 a couple of districts. 1358 00:52:28,744 --> 00:52:32,479 One for sure, where there is quite a bit of 1359 00:52:32,479 --> 00:52:34,190 land within the boundary 1360 00:52:34,190 --> 00:52:36,680 but not currently served. 1361 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,419 And so those areas under 1362 00:52:38,419 --> 00:52:40,535 the proposal and those proposals, 1363 00:52:40,535 --> 00:52:41,629 those folks that are within 1364 00:52:41,629 --> 00:52:43,280 the district could have sewer line in 1365 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,755 the future even though 1366 00:52:45,755 --> 00:52:47,270 there's not a health hazard. 1367 00:52:47,270 --> 00:52:48,709 So I wanted to point out that 1368 00:52:48,709 --> 00:52:50,450 we've got this side issue 1369 00:52:50,450 --> 00:52:52,520 here about those district 1370 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:53,750 areas and what will we do? 1371 00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:55,940 And we have we just sort of throw 1372 00:52:55,940 --> 00:52:57,170 something out there and 1373 00:52:57,170 --> 00:52:58,399 we've got some testimony. 1374 00:52:58,399 --> 00:52:59,150 I think you'll receive 1375 00:52:59,150 --> 00:53:00,664 some more on that today. 1376 00:53:00,664 --> 00:53:04,805 We also amended very brief way, 1377 00:53:04,805 --> 00:53:06,169 the public facilities planning 1378 00:53:06,169 --> 00:53:07,970 rule that implements Goal 11, 1379 00:53:07,970 --> 00:53:09,799 because it only right 1380 00:53:09,799 --> 00:53:12,155 now it only applies to urban areas. 1381 00:53:12,155 --> 00:53:14,449 We want to I think especially 1382 00:53:14,449 --> 00:53:15,320 based on the testimony 1383 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,340 that we received in hearings, 1384 00:53:16,340 --> 00:53:18,984 we may want to make some definition to 1385 00:53:18,984 --> 00:53:22,040 some other clarifying of this goal language. 1386 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,450 Typically that should go into 1387 00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:24,994 rule rather than the goal. 1388 00:53:24,994 --> 00:53:27,014 So we've made a brief amendment 1389 00:53:27,014 --> 00:53:28,640 and next page you'll see that we have 1390 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,169 mended that golden rule so 1391 00:53:30,169 --> 00:53:31,850 that the intro also 1392 00:53:31,850 --> 00:53:33,350 allows that rule to interpret 1393 00:53:33,350 --> 00:53:35,870 requirements for rural areas. 1394 00:53:35,870 --> 00:53:37,820 And then we'll dump definitions 1395 00:53:37,820 --> 00:53:40,219 and such into there as we 1396 00:53:40,219 --> 00:53:42,455 go out with our next round of rules 1397 00:53:42,455 --> 00:53:46,140 or of a golden rule and for hearing. 1398 00:53:50,740 --> 00:53:56,060 Finally, we also have proposed amendments 1399 00:53:56,060 --> 00:54:01,879 to 660 division for Section 18. 1400 00:54:01,879 --> 00:54:04,114 Those are the rules that apply to 1401 00:54:04,114 --> 00:54:05,509 exception areas when accounting 1402 00:54:05,509 --> 00:54:07,820 takes an exception to both 3.4. 1403 00:54:07,820 --> 00:54:10,190 They also have We also tell 1404 00:54:10,190 --> 00:54:12,754 them how to plan that exception area. 1405 00:54:12,754 --> 00:54:15,169 And those rules hadn't been 1406 00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:18,739 touched since, I think 1981. 1407 00:54:18,739 --> 00:54:21,410 And of course since then we've had 1408 00:54:21,410 --> 00:54:23,589 Curry County case that 1409 00:54:23,589 --> 00:54:25,130 right on target as to what's 1410 00:54:25,130 --> 00:54:26,704 supposed to happen in exception areas. 1411 00:54:26,704 --> 00:54:28,489 And we've also made amendments to go 11, 1412 00:54:28,489 --> 00:54:30,170 including those that we propose. 1413 00:54:30,170 --> 00:54:31,940 So we're proposing some amendments 1414 00:54:31,940 --> 00:54:33,589 to division 18. 1415 00:54:33,589 --> 00:54:34,579 As you look at it, 1416 00:54:34,579 --> 00:54:35,570 you'll see that the main thing 1417 00:54:35,570 --> 00:54:37,685 we're talking about there is services. 1418 00:54:37,685 --> 00:54:39,349 Find that by that we mean 1419 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:40,639 the facilities and services 1420 00:54:40,639 --> 00:54:42,350 such as sewer and water lines, 1421 00:54:42,350 --> 00:54:45,425 uses and density or something 1422 00:54:45,425 --> 00:54:47,675 for exception areas where 1423 00:54:47,675 --> 00:54:50,360 we want to make sure that they are rural. 1424 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,994 That if there are later, 1425 00:54:51,994 --> 00:54:53,719 there are changes that are proposed and 1426 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,895 an exception area after it's acknowledged. 1427 00:54:55,895 --> 00:54:58,400 Most of them are that 1428 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,669 they would only authorized uses, 1429 00:55:01,669 --> 00:55:03,080 services and densities which are 1430 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,580 the same as those which were there 1431 00:55:04,580 --> 00:55:06,020 during the time the exception was 1432 00:55:06,020 --> 00:55:09,049 taken or that meet all the all the goals 1433 00:55:09,049 --> 00:55:11,839 including Gulf 14 or 1434 00:55:11,839 --> 00:55:16,139 completely rural as we interpret them. 1435 00:55:16,139 --> 00:55:18,324 I'll stop there. 1436 00:55:18,324 --> 00:55:20,620 Unless you want me to go into some details 1437 00:55:20,620 --> 00:55:23,199 here and on through, 1438 00:55:23,199 --> 00:55:25,029 as I mentioned, ten hearings. 1439 00:55:25,029 --> 00:55:26,379 We didn't get a lot of 1440 00:55:26,379 --> 00:55:27,699 testimony will be giving you 1441 00:55:27,699 --> 00:55:29,739 that haven't had time between the 1442 00:55:29,739 --> 00:55:31,989 last those to prepare the final report. 1443 00:55:31,989 --> 00:55:33,609 You'll get that in the mail soon. 1444 00:55:33,609 --> 00:55:35,500 And we will send out another draft of 1445 00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:37,435 these within a couple of weeks. 1446 00:55:37,435 --> 00:55:39,219 And then you'll have another hearing at 1447 00:55:39,219 --> 00:55:41,649 the end of May where you would 1448 00:55:41,649 --> 00:55:44,410 be affecting that to 1449 00:55:44,410 --> 00:55:46,910 be your final hearing and adoption. 1450 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:51,324 Bob, line 11. 1451 00:55:51,324 --> 00:55:53,379 No one-twenty one of the goal and 1452 00:55:53,379 --> 00:55:56,080 then for the purpose 1453 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,129 of serving development on 1454 00:55:57,129 --> 00:55:58,845 land outside of those boundaries. 1455 00:55:58,845 --> 00:56:01,774 That's the language we're relying upon. 1456 00:56:01,774 --> 00:56:03,530 As I understand the staff report, 1457 00:56:03,530 --> 00:56:07,609 that would allow a service provider to extend 1458 00:56:07,609 --> 00:56:09,859 land lines through rural lands from 1459 00:56:09,859 --> 00:56:11,179 one urbanized area to 1460 00:56:11,179 --> 00:56:13,774 another provided there were no hookups. 1461 00:56:13,774 --> 00:56:15,080 And I've run into that in 1462 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,040 a number of places where 1463 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,929 the local service provider to 1464 00:56:17,929 --> 00:56:20,059 save cost instead of having to run a line, 1465 00:56:20,059 --> 00:56:22,520 an extra 2 mi can stay within a boundary. 1466 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,065 And a couple of cases 1467 00:56:24,065 --> 00:56:26,284 spread over a larger area. 1468 00:56:26,284 --> 00:56:27,979 They wanted to run a line with 1469 00:56:27,979 --> 00:56:30,154 absolutely assurances have no hookups, 1470 00:56:30,154 --> 00:56:31,370 and there was an ambiguity 1471 00:56:31,370 --> 00:56:32,720 as to whether it was allowed. 1472 00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:33,170 Ms. 1473 00:56:33,170 --> 00:56:34,279 Solves, this is

1866 01:10:49,159 --> 01:10:51,619 We don't have a defined health 1867 01:10:51,619 --> 01:10:54,689 and the health division. 1868 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,650 There are a definition at this. 1869 01:10:58,650 --> 01:10:59,790 You have to distinguish 1870 01:10:59,790 --> 01:11:03,669 between health hazard problem. 1871 01:11:10,970 --> 01:11:13,470 The problem is that health hazard is 1872 01:11:13,470 --> 01:11:15,119 in the statute as it is a process. 1873 01:11:15,119 --> 01:11:16,350 That's I mean, it's it's 1874 01:11:16,350 --> 01:11:17,984 technical, it's political. 1875 01:11:17,984 --> 01:11:19,320 It's very complicated. 1876 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:20,550 It hardly ever gets used. 1877 01:11:20,550 --> 01:11:22,770 I don't know all the reasons why it's so 1878 01:11:22,770 --> 01:11:25,410 hard to declare an apparently some things 1879 01:11:25,410 --> 01:11:26,745 that are very serious and we still, 1880 01:11:26,745 --> 01:11:28,800 it's very difficult to get a declaration 1881 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:29,519 of a health hazard 1882 01:11:29,519 --> 01:11:30,870 because it's so rarely used, 1883 01:11:30,870 --> 01:11:32,099 because it's so hard to use. 1884 01:11:32,099 --> 01:11:36,209 We don't want to use it. What we're doing. 1885 01:11:36,209 --> 01:11:40,019 Well, I don't think that will excuse. 1886 01:11:40,019 --> 01:11:41,969 I guess what we're exploring is 1887 01:11:41,969 --> 01:11:43,320 can we come up with something else? 1888 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,150 We could use it. You guys 1889 01:11:45,150 --> 01:11:46,709 could decide you think that's what we 1890 01:11:46,709 --> 01:11:48,149 ought to define health problem 1891 01:11:48,149 --> 01:11:49,739 as we're going to propose 1892 01:11:49,739 --> 01:11:53,505 to you some other kind of definition. 1893 01:11:53,505 --> 01:11:56,640 The sidebars to the health hazard declaration 1894 01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:57,810 or that if you declare 1895 01:11:57,810 --> 01:11:59,490 something a health hazard. 1896 01:11:59,490 --> 01:12:01,620 Now, those residents have to 1897 01:12:01,620 --> 01:12:03,555 solve that in 60 days. 1898 01:12:03,555 --> 01:12:05,444 And there's a man, 1899 01:12:05,444 --> 01:12:07,980 you're mandated once that declaration occurs, 1900 01:12:07,980 --> 01:12:10,425 It's mandated that it'd be solved 1901 01:12:10,425 --> 01:12:11,999 within a very short timeframe, 1902 01:12:11,999 --> 01:12:13,545 usually very expensive. 1903 01:12:13,545 --> 01:12:16,110 And because of all that, 1904 01:12:16,110 --> 01:12:18,405 you think you may recall some 1905 01:12:18,405 --> 01:12:19,650 years ago the big 1906 01:12:19,650 --> 01:12:20,924 controversy in North Albany, 1907 01:12:20,924 --> 01:12:22,574 which was going to be 1908 01:12:22,574 --> 01:12:24,299 a declaration on the result 1909 01:12:24,299 --> 01:12:25,529 was gonna be annexation to Albany. 1910 01:12:25,529 --> 01:12:28,050 I mean, there's always so many sort 1911 01:12:28,050 --> 01:12:29,099 of side issues to 1912 01:12:29,099 --> 01:12:30,629 that declaration and there's 1913 01:12:30,629 --> 01:12:32,880 no funding by the way, to the process. 1914 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,500 Currently, legislature hasn't funded it 1915 01:12:34,500 --> 01:12:36,420 probably because it's so controversial. 1916 01:12:36,420 --> 01:12:39,945 We don't necessarily want to use it. 1917 01:12:39,945 --> 01:12:42,869 You may think it would be better. 1918 01:12:42,869 --> 01:12:43,979 Would it be better to 1919 01:12:43,979 --> 01:12:45,659 describe a health problem, 1920 01:12:45,659 --> 01:12:47,819 to have the EQ be 1921 01:12:47,819 --> 01:12:49,979 in the driver's seat to declare these. 1922 01:12:49,979 --> 01:12:52,679 There's no obligation once you've declared 1923 01:12:52,679 --> 01:12:54,015 a health problem that it's 1924 01:12:54,015 --> 01:12:55,680 going to be served by sewer. 1925 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,554 In fact, we would rather it wasn't. 1926 01:12:57,554 --> 01:13:00,165 But we we we think that there should be 1927 01:13:00,165 --> 01:13:01,410 an objective process to 1928 01:13:01,410 --> 01:13:04,440 decide what are the 40 or 50. 1929 01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:05,864 I don't know the numbers exactly. 1930 01:13:05,864 --> 01:13:07,470 Areas in rural areas and 1931 01:13:07,470 --> 01:13:09,899 Oregon that we know are have 1932 01:13:09,899 --> 01:13:12,420 serious problems that nobody is able 1933 01:13:12,420 --> 01:13:14,070 to resolve and may 1934 01:13:14,070 --> 01:13:15,360 still not be able to resolve it. 1935 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,179 And if we do this because they can't afford 1936 01:13:18,179 --> 01:13:19,560 or can't get agreement among 1937 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,555 the residents are for a variety of reasons. 1938 01:13:21,555 --> 01:13:22,979 There isn't a sewer or 1939 01:13:22,979 --> 01:13:24,509 some other solution being put forth, 1940 01:13:24,509 --> 01:13:26,354 but once in awhile 1941 01:13:26,354 --> 01:13:27,539 and this just recently 1942 01:13:27,539 --> 01:13:28,740 happened in Douglas County, 1943 01:13:28,740 --> 01:13:30,794 you do get the residents able to 1944 01:13:30,794 --> 01:13:33,525 get together and propose a solution. 1945 01:13:33,525 --> 01:13:36,480 And the legislative, couple of 1946 01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:37,769 legislators actually brought this to 1947 01:13:37,769 --> 01:13:38,609 our attention and we'd heard 1948 01:13:38,609 --> 01:13:39,479 it from other quarters. 1949 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:40,844 And once that's done, 1950 01:13:40,844 --> 01:13:43,605 now, they faced the prospect of an exception. 1951 01:13:43,605 --> 01:13:45,930 You have one resident didn't like 1952 01:13:45,930 --> 01:13:47,280 the notion that they were going to have 1953 01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:48,960 to pay for sewers in their area. 1954 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,259 And they can and will appeal in that case. 1955 01:13:52,259 --> 01:13:55,709 As we hear often about appeals to exceptions. 1956 01:13:55,709 --> 01:13:57,119 And I guess there are 1957 01:13:57,119 --> 01:14:02,114 some easier to win those kinds of appeals. 1958 01:14:02,114 --> 01:14:04,620 So we're just simply proposing we 1959 01:14:04,620 --> 01:14:07,275 remove the epsilon requirement. 1960 01:14:07,275 --> 01:14:08,790 I don't think we are 1961 01:14:08,790 --> 01:14:10,275 definitely not trying to mandate 1962 01:14:10,275 --> 01:14:12,615 any sewer solution anywhere 1963 01:14:12,615 --> 01:14:14,939 as the health hazards statute does. 1964 01:14:14,939 --> 01:14:25,380 We just wanted to hear from folks that 1965 01:14:25,380 --> 01:14:26,910 they don't have that many to take testimony 1966 01:14:26,910 --> 01:14:27,989 and we can keep the discussion 1967 01:14:27,989 --> 01:14:36,869 going back and having a lot more discussion. 1968 01:14:36,869 --> 01:14:39,239 Just remind folks in the audience we're 1969 01:14:39,239 --> 01:14:42,209 taking sign-ups on this till 145. 1970 01:14:42,209 --> 01:14:43,170 So if there's anybody 1971 01:14:43,170 --> 01:14:44,235 else who wants to sign up, 1972 01:14:44,235 --> 01:14:46,559 you need to do it before that time. 1973 01:14:46,559 --> 01:14:49,995 First-person as Roy Burns. 1974 01:14:49,995 --> 01:14:52,650 Because we do have one other major item 1975 01:14:52,650 --> 01:14:53,609 is happening and I am going to put 1976 01:14:53,609 --> 01:14:54,599 the timer on this time. 1977 01:14:54,599 --> 01:14:56,265 I didn't last time, so 1978 01:14:56,265 --> 01:14:59,200 I'll let you know when your 3 min is up. 1979 01:15:06,530 --> 01:15:08,565 Be covered. 1980 01:15:08,565 --> 01:15:09,974 For the record. 1981 01:15:09,974 --> 01:15:11,399 My name is Roy Burns. 1982 01:15:11,399 --> 01:15:13,379 I'm intergovernmental relations coordinator 1983 01:15:13,379 --> 01:15:14,594 for Lane County. 1984 01:15:14,594 --> 01:15:17,549 This testimony has been submitted previously, 1985 01:15:17,549 --> 01:15:19,110 but I did want to talk 1986 01:15:19,110 --> 01:15:20,639 briefly to the commission about 1987 01:15:20,639 --> 01:15:22,365 a couple of concerns 1988 01:15:22,365 --> 01:15:24,360 dealing with the sewer extension. 1989 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,069 And that is number one, 1990 01:15:26,069 --> 01:15:28,589 I think there are issues. 1991 01:15:28,589 --> 01:15:31,664 Beyond public health concerns, 1992 01:15:31,664 --> 01:15:36,240 which sewer extension need to be considered? 1993 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,655 In our area. 1994 01:15:38,655 --> 01:15:42,180 We have a regional landfill that 1995 01:15:42,180 --> 01:15:45,599 serves primarily the metropolitan area, 1996 01:15:45,599 --> 01:15:49,320 that 80% of the garbage goes there. 1997 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,089 We have a leachate problem. 1998 01:15:51,089 --> 01:15:52,350 There are a number of 1999 01:15:52,350 --> 01:15:54,704 feasible alternatives ranging from 2000 01:15:54,704 --> 01:15:58,050 on-site treatment to transport 2001 01:15:58,050 --> 01:15:59,894 and trucks of the leachate. 2002 01:15:59,894 --> 01:16:04,109 However, one alternative is the potential for 2003 01:16:04,109 --> 01:16:07,110 a transport of the waist by 2004 01:16:07,110 --> 01:16:08,370 a pressure line back to 2005 01:16:08,370 --> 01:16:10,690 the regional treatment facility. 2006 01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:14,209 This we are concerned is a type 2007 01:16:14,209 --> 01:16:17,389 of extension that would be prohibited. 2008 01:16:17,389 --> 01:16:20,119 Language word to stay as you 2009 01:16:20,119 --> 01:16:22,985 have a prepared We'd like 2010 01:16:22,985 --> 01:16:24,455 consideration for 2011 01:16:24,455 --> 01:16:27,110 perhaps a broader definition of 2012 01:16:27,110 --> 01:16:29,779 the types of situations 2013 01:16:29,779 --> 01:16:33,240 in which problems need to be solved. 2014 01:16:34,210 --> 01:16:38,270 The second issue is 2015 01:16:38,270 --> 01:16:42,349 that it wouldn't fall 2016 01:16:42,349 --> 01:16:48,029 within what we consider to be L potential. 2017 01:16:48,070 --> 01:16:51,349 And finally, we think 2018 01:16:51,349 --> 01:16:54,149 that no feasible alternative isn't. 2019 01:16:54,740 --> 01:16:56,940 Pragmatically when 2020 01:16:56,940 --> 01:16:59,669 evaluating alternatives quite often, 2021 01:16:59,669 --> 01:17:01,979 we make a preferred selection 2022 01:17:01,979 --> 01:17:03,090 based on what's the most 2023 01:17:03,090 --> 01:17:04,290 environmentally sound, 2024 01:17:04,290 --> 01:17:13,244 cost-effective alternatives that are 2025 01:17:13,244 --> 01:17:17,649 looking at some way of not making. 2026 01:17:21,650 --> 01:17:23,730

--> 01:21:31,335 in this rulemaking process. 2114 01:21:31,335 --> 01:21:33,209 Distinct development and new 2115 01:21:33,209 --> 01:21:35,760 development with existing development, 2116 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,310 we would like to see an improved process for 2117 01:21:38,310 --> 01:21:41,714 resolving sewer system or on-site system, 2118 01:21:41,714 --> 01:21:44,589 areas that have failing systems 2119 01:21:46,850 --> 01:21:49,485 in rural lands. 2120 01:21:49,485 --> 01:21:52,379 And secondly, with new development, 2121 01:21:52,379 --> 01:21:55,364 we would like to re-examine 2122 01:21:55,364 --> 01:21:57,674 the individual on-site 2123 01:21:57,674 --> 01:21:59,429 limitation for 2124 01:21:59,429 --> 01:22:00,959 some new development if there are 2125 01:22:00,959 --> 01:22:03,569 other sewer service options 2126 01:22:03,569 --> 01:22:06,074 that may be environmentally sound. 2127 01:22:06,074 --> 01:22:09,509 Dennis and I have worked with the DLC 2128 01:22:09,509 --> 01:22:14,010 to have developed some language 2129 01:22:14,010 --> 01:22:16,739 that I believe is in your packet. 2130 01:22:16,739 --> 01:22:19,379 We have not had an opportunity 2131 01:22:19,379 --> 01:22:21,449 to review our language with DLC, 2132 01:22:21,449 --> 01:22:23,429 the staff or the health division, 2133 01:22:23,429 --> 01:22:25,680 which is Chindia in our language. 2134 01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:28,380 And we at this point 2135 01:22:28,380 --> 01:22:29,879 would like to continue working on 2136 01:22:29,879 --> 01:22:33,600 these issues and concern in 2137 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,389 terms of some options 2138 01:22:36,389 --> 01:22:38,535 by me adoption adopting, 2139 01:22:38,535 --> 01:22:41,414 hoped that this would be possible. 2140 01:22:41,414 --> 01:22:45,270 The first issue that is addressed in 2141 01:22:45,270 --> 01:22:46,860 the deal CDS staff in 2142 01:22:46,860 --> 01:22:48,765 the division 15 amendments, 2143 01:22:48,765 --> 01:22:51,944 I'm relating to creating 2144 01:22:51,944 --> 01:22:54,960 an exemption to the exception process 2145 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,640 for existing failure areas. 2146 01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,110 I would like to go through 2147 01:23:01,110 --> 01:23:03,329 the reasons why we develop 2148 01:23:03,329 --> 01:23:06,509 some alternative language to give you 2149 01:23:06,509 --> 01:23:08,759 a better understanding of our perspective of 2150 01:23:08,759 --> 01:23:11,160 the issue under the four conditions, 2151 01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,530 the need to protect public health. 2152 01:23:13,530 --> 01:23:16,169 We would very much like to see 2153 01:23:16,169 --> 01:23:19,125 that include environmental problems. 2154 01:23:19,125 --> 01:23:24,344 It's not specified that it does, 2155 01:23:24,344 --> 01:23:25,829 that it, that it would 2156 01:23:25,829 --> 01:23:28,500 get to environmental issues. 2157 01:23:28,500 --> 01:23:30,210 So we would like to 2158 01:23:30,210 --> 01:23:31,200 see that change to include 2159 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,379 human health and environmental pollution. 2160 01:23:34,379 --> 01:23:36,480 The condition where there's 2161 01:23:36,480 --> 01:23:39,009 no feasible alternative. 2162 01:23:41,810 --> 01:23:46,245 Would like to see that 2163 01:23:46,245 --> 01:23:48,990 expanded to address economic factors 2164 01:23:48,990 --> 01:23:51,719 as well as technological factor. 2165 01:23:51,719 --> 01:23:53,909 As stated, we feel that 2166 01:23:53,909 --> 01:23:56,590 it's a bit too restrictive. 2167 01:23:57,260 --> 01:23:59,340 And the next, 2168 01:23:59,340 --> 01:24:02,760 the third condition is 2169 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,939 no adverse impacts to farm in forest land. 2170 01:24:05,939 --> 01:24:08,114 This is a very appropriate condition. 2171 01:24:08,114 --> 01:24:10,049 But again, we wonder 2172 01:24:10,049 --> 01:24:11,970 if it would be interpreted to 2173 01:24:11,970 --> 01:24:14,940 rigidly in that there would be situations 2174 01:24:14,940 --> 01:24:18,570 where mitigation would be, would be required. 2175 01:24:18,570 --> 01:24:21,300 And the same is 2176 01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:22,740 true for the fourth condition, 2177 01:24:22,740 --> 01:24:25,889 efficient function of UVB. 2178 01:24:25,889 --> 01:24:27,660 Again, in some ways it 2179 01:24:27,660 --> 01:24:29,190 seems this is really counter to 2180 01:24:29,190 --> 01:24:32,099 the purpose for the exemption for 2181 01:24:32,099 --> 01:24:34,470 an exception in that there may be 2182 01:24:34,470 --> 01:24:38,140 a need and some paid system apps. 2183 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:44,839 Then the second issue that I referred 2184 01:24:44,839 --> 01:24:48,890 to relating to redevelopment, 2185 01:24:48,890 --> 01:24:50,540 this is an issue that 2186 01:24:50,540 --> 01:24:51,229 the work group has 2187 01:24:51,229 --> 01:24:52,730 said very little discussion 2188 01:24:52,730 --> 01:24:56,690 on and we need to continue on this. 2189 01:24:56,690 --> 01:25:00,290 We would like to to 2190 01:25:00,290 --> 01:25:02,749 end up with a policy that would ensure 2191 01:25:02,749 --> 01:25:06,650 environmentally sound decisions that 2192 01:25:06,650 --> 01:25:07,730 they are made that will not 2193 01:25:07,730 --> 01:25:11,179 threatened the protection of resource land. 2194 01:25:11,179 --> 01:25:14,660 And we would recommend perhaps 2195 01:25:14,660 --> 01:25:16,250 taking this issue back to 2196 01:25:16,250 --> 01:25:18,365 the community solutions team. 2197 01:25:18,365 --> 01:25:21,689 Bison, how to proceed without issue? 2198 01:25:26,570 --> 01:25:30,189 That's that's all I have for today. 2199 01:25:32,090 --> 01:25:34,629 I have a question. 2200 01:25:34,730 --> 01:25:36,555 What's an exam? 2201 01:25:36,555 --> 01:25:37,589 I guess my sense is there 2202 01:25:37,589 --> 01:25:38,909 must be some situations where 2203 01:25:38,909 --> 01:25:40,680 the public health hazard also solves 2204 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,855 a parallel environmental problem. 2205 01:25:42,855 --> 01:25:43,829 But I take it there 2206 01:25:43,829 --> 01:25:45,059 situations where there may be 2207 01:25:45,059 --> 01:25:47,009 an environmental problem to the agency, 2208 01:25:47,009 --> 01:25:48,120 but we don't rise to 2209 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:49,679 the level of the public health problem. 2210 01:25:49,679 --> 01:25:51,390 What's an example of those? 2211 01:25:51,390 --> 01:25:52,080 And what's 2212 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,029 the environmental damage you'd be trying 2213 01:25:54,029 --> 01:25:56,460 to we could have nutrients, 2214 01:25:56,460 --> 01:25:57,810 dissolved oxygen, that type 2215 01:25:57,810 --> 01:25:58,980 of thing in a stream that's 2216 01:25:58,980 --> 01:26:01,934 actually killing the stream. 2217 01:26:01,934 --> 01:26:04,810 Not allowing any fisheries in. 2218 01:26:06,500 --> 01:26:09,660 State and federal standards. 2219 01:26:09,660 --> 01:26:13,499 It wouldn't necessarily be a bacterial load. 2220 01:26:13,499 --> 01:26:15,479 That would be a risk 2221 01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:18,399 to public health directly. 2222 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,284 Again, what we're asking, 2223 01:26:21,284 --> 01:26:23,070 what we're discussing here are, 2224 01:26:23,070 --> 01:26:25,649 are hoping to limit the discussion to, 2225 01:26:25,649 --> 01:26:27,239 in this particular language is 2226 01:26:27,239 --> 01:26:30,540 existing public health 2227 01:26:30,540 --> 01:26:33,210 and existing environmental concerns, 2228 01:26:33,210 --> 01:26:34,530 magnitude and extent 2229 01:26:34,530 --> 01:26:36,494 of those environmental problems. 2230 01:26:36,494 --> 01:26:38,339 We talked about 1,000 2231 01:26:38,339 --> 01:26:40,665 situations or I don't think so, 2232 01:26:40,665 --> 01:26:42,495 20 situations around the, well, 2233 01:26:42,495 --> 01:26:44,310 with the public health ones, 2234 01:26:44,310 --> 01:26:46,650 the ones that we can identify that 2235 01:26:46,650 --> 01:26:50,910 generally relate to public health concerns. 2236 01:26:50,910 --> 01:26:52,110 I believe we came up with 2237 01:26:52,110 --> 01:26:53,700 a list of around 20, 2238 01:26:53,700 --> 01:26:55,829 I believe are so half a dozen. 2239 01:26:55,829 --> 01:26:56,969 Half dozen or dozen. 2240 01:26:56,969 --> 01:26:58,320 There's about two days. Two days. 2241 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:04,409 We've identified question. 2242 01:27:04,409 --> 01:27:06,840 You heard Roy Burns 2243 01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:08,100 from Lane County talk about 2244 01:27:08,100 --> 01:27:09,720 the leachate issue 2245 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,910 from a landfill potentially idea 2246 01:27:11,910 --> 01:27:13,140 of being able to pump that back 2247 01:27:13,140 --> 01:27:14,700 into a sewer system disposal 2248 01:27:14,700 --> 01:27:16,184 instead of but didn't go. 2249 01:27:16,184 --> 01:27:18,090 That would seem to 2250 01:27:18,090 --> 01:27:20,130 be to be an environmental issue. 2251 01:27:20,130 --> 01:27:23,640 Any comment on that issue 2252 01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:24,809 of you talked about it as 2253 01:27:24,809 --> 01:27:26,849 an issue that you visited a doll, 2254 01:27:26,849 --> 01:27:29,054 not discussed that issue in 2255 01:27:29,054 --> 01:27:30,209 the workgroup or in 2256 01:27:30,209 --> 01:27:32,385 the ape or within the agency. 2257 01:27:32,385 --> 01:27:34,245 Would you be willing to do that? 2258 01:27:34,245 --> 01:27:35,370 Certainly. 2259 01:27:35,370 --> 01:27:37,470 Let me be clear why I'm asking 2260 01:27:37,470 --> 01:27:40,289 that question hadn't occurred to me before, 2261 01:27:40,289 --> 01:27:41,940 but I know that our solid waste folks 2262 01:27:41,940 --> 01:27:43,935 were talking to the city of wood-burning 2263 01:27:43,935 --> 01:27:50,550 about the idea of pumping spirit spray, 2264 01:27:50,550 --> 01:27:52,905 irrigating it, which is what we're doing now. 2265 01:27:52,905 --> 01:27:54,390 The problem is Perrier getting 2266 01:27:54,390 --> 01:27:56,009 it's heavy and salts. 2267 01:27:56,009 --> 01:27:58,529 And so we can't continue to let 2268 01:27:58,529 --> 01:27:59,579 the salt buildup and 2269 01:27:59,579 --> 01:28:01,215 destroy the productivity of the soil. 2270 01:28:01,215 --> 01:28:03,569 So other than that, it's not a problem, 2271 01:28:03,569 --> 01:28:05,309 but that is a problem. 2272 01:28:05,309 --> 01:28:07,095 Soil productivity. 2273 01:28:07,095 --> 01:28:08,804 So they were starting to explore 2274 01:28:08,804 --> 01:28:11,370 some just very preliminary discussions with 2275 01:28:11,370 --> 01:28:12,389 the folks and would burn about 2276 01:28:12,389 --> 01:28:15,179 maybe what would be the feasibility? 2277 01:28:15,179 --> 01:28:19,230 Those prayer getting wood-burning facility? 2278 01:28:19,230 --> 01:28:21,629 It never occurred to me that 2279 01:28:21,629 --> 01:28:25,560 it would meet the definition of a sewer line. 2280 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,020 I want you to say, Yeah, 2281 01:28:28,020 --> 01:28:28,979 it makes sense, but it just 2282 01:28:28,979 --> 01:28:30,660 didn't occur to me. 2283 01:28:30,660 --> 01:28:32,190 So when I mentioned that I 2284 01:28:32,190 --> 01:28:34,289 my ears obviously perked up and I'd be 2285 01:28:34,289 --> 01:28:35,759 interested if the department 2286 01:28:35,759 --> 01:28:36,839 would be willing to discuss that 2287 01:28:36,839 --> 01:28:38,850 a little bit and see 2288 01:28:38,850 --> 01:28:40,259 if see what you think about that. 2289 01:28:40,259 --> 01:28:41,624 I mean, clearly we don't want 2290 01:28:41,624 --> 01:28:42,719 to create a situation. 2291 01:28:42,719 --> 01:28:44,009 I want to make that clear 2292 01:28:44,009 --> 01:28:46,410 that we're anybody can hook onto that line. 2293 01:28:46,410 --> 01:28:48,880 That's not our interests. 2294 01:28:48,980 --> 01:28:51,285 Anyway, that you can 2295 01:28:51,285 --> 01:28:52,875 limit that and restrict that. 2296 01:28:52,875 --> 01:28:54,959 But again, it seems to me there, 2297 01:28:54,959 --> 01:28:57,060 there may be some limited situations 2298 01:28:57,060 --> 01:28:59,250 that are environmental more than 2299 01:28:59,250 --> 01:29:01,049 public health that it 2300 01:29:01,049 --> 01:29:03,899 would make sense to be able to do that. 2301 01:29:03,899 --> 01:29:05,220 I don't think there are many, very 2302 01:29:05,220 --> 01:29:06,810 many of them around and we'd have to 2303 01:29:06,810 --> 01:29:09,735 approach it very carefully, 2304 01:29:09,735 --> 01:29:11,760 I think, with a lot of caution, 2305 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:12,989 but at least like to have 2306 01:29:12,989 --> 01:29:14,429 that dialogue continue. 2307 01:29:14,429 --> 01:29:16,860 And let's try to tease that out a little 2308 01:29:16,860 --> 01:29:18,000 bit more and see if there's 2309 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,350 something there that make sense. 2310 01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,749 The only challenge I'd put two years if you 2311 01:29:24,749 --> 01:29:26,924 could develop some side boards 2312 01:29:26,924 --> 01:29:28,950 are parameters or definitions on 2313 01:29:28,950 --> 01:29:30,390 this environmental problem that 2314 01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:30,960 we would add to 2315 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,539 the public health side as opposed to 2316 01:29:33,539 --> 01:29:36,569 the very subjective term environmental. 2317 01:29:36,569 --> 01:29:38,339 Know, I don't know whether it's involving 2318 01:29:38,339 --> 01:29:39,660 dissolved oxygen and 2319 01:29:39,660 --> 01:29:41,369 ten other things or something else. 2320 01:29:41,369 --> 01:29:43,740 But if you could get out, even 2321 01:29:43,740 --> 01:29:45,449 if it's for purposes of this rule, 2322 01:29:45,449 --> 01:29:48,570 environmental problems include that 2323 01:29:48,570 --> 01:29:49,800 would help me because 2324 01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:50,850 environmental problems 2325 01:29:50,850 --> 01:29:52,840 is a pretty broad term. 2326 01:29:54,140 --> 01:29:56,849 And the other thing I guess I'd like to 2327 01:29:56,849 --> 01:29:59,294 know would be the magnitude of it. 2328 01:29:59,294 --> 01:30:01,560 Not that it's not 2329 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:02,669 worth dealing with if 2330 01:30:02,669 --> 01:30:03,899 it's of lesser magnitude. 2331 01:30:03,899 --> 01:30:04,919 There's only ten examples 2332 01:30:04,919 --> 01:30:06,240 around the state and set of 100. 2333 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,684 But that we do have the exceptions process. 2334 01:30:08,684 --> 01:30:11,220 And frankly, would Roy came up my reaction to 2335 01:30:11,220 --> 01:30:14,099 the unique problem they had was, 2336 01:30:14,099 --> 01:30:15,989 well, you probably go 2337 01:30:15,989 --> 01:30:17,160 the exception route rather than 2338 01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:18,989 fixing rule to solve one unique problem. 2339 01:30:18,989 --> 01:30:20,129 And then Randy raises it, 2340 01:30:20,129 --> 01:30:21,030 maybe I'm wrong, maybe 2341 01:30:21,030 --> 01:30:22,485 they're a bunch of these around. 2342 01:30:22,485 --> 01:30:23,909 By the same token, if you had 2343 01:30:23,909 --> 01:30:25,469 20 of these iron Greeks around the state, 2344 01:30:25,469 --> 01:30:27,359 it may not warrant rule fix. 2345 01:30:27,359 --> 01:30:28,529 If there's more than that, it may 2346 01:30:28,529 --> 01:30:30,480 be make more sense to putting 2347 01:30:30,480 --> 01:30:34,199 have discussed that in a broader concept. 2348 01:30:34,199 --> 01:30:36,360 That very thing where 2349 01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,164 there is just another tool, 2350 01:30:39,164 --> 01:30:42,344 the exception process is still there. 2351 01:30:42,344 --> 01:30:46,229 And this is what we want to do is 2352 01:30:46,229 --> 01:30:47,534 limit this to very 2353 01:30:47,534 --> 01:30:50,759 specific existing problem areas. 2354 01:30:50,759 --> 01:30:54,359 If it doesn't fit within that parameter. 2355 01:30:54,359 --> 01:30:57,720 They use another tool to get what they need. 2356 01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,879 We wouldn't have a problem 2357 01:30:59,879 --> 01:31:03,219 using tailoring the exception process. 2358 01:31:10,970 --> 01:31:13,920 You have problem with other pollutants 2359 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:15,180 other than sewer, your 2360 01:31:15,180 --> 01:31:16,214 environmental statement. 2361 01:31:16,214 --> 01:31:18,105 I mean, I'll use limiting your 2362 01:31:18,105 --> 01:31:22,350 environmental to sewage a cell alone. 2363 01:31:22,350 --> 01:31:24,269 We have been in 2364 01:31:24,269 --> 01:31:25,950 our discussions regarding 2365 01:31:25,950 --> 01:31:27,419 the Goal 11 amendments. 2366 01:31:27,419 --> 01:31:30,250 We've been limited it to sue each image. 2367 01:31:34,070 --> 01:31:39,490 You didn't get to farm pesticide spraying? 2368 01:31:40,130 --> 01:31:42,150 I didn't know what they were going to 2369 01:31:42,150 --> 01:31:43,559 use this rule to that, 2370 01:31:43,559 --> 01:31:44,849 to that to try to attack 2371 01:31:44,849 --> 01:31:48,520 that problem. Just checking. 2372 01:31:50,810 --> 01:31:53,025 Thanks. 2373 01:31:53,025 --> 01:31:55,709 Phil fell again. 2374 01:31:55,709 --> 01:32:00,879 And Suzy Smith, city of Springfield. 2375 01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,509 Randy, how far it would 2376 01:32:03,509 --> 01:32:05,670 burn sewer from your side? 2377 01:32:05,670 --> 01:32:09,039 20 mi across farm country. 2378 01:32:09,050 --> 01:32:14,069 No. Foreign country? Yes. 20 mi. 2379 01:32:14,069 --> 01:32:17,759 No. We'd stay within 2380 01:32:17,759 --> 01:32:19,740 That's what I'm guessing. Five to ten. 2381 01:32:19,740 --> 01:32:20,789 I'm terrible at distance, 2382 01:32:20,789 --> 01:32:25,210 but we'd stay within the road right away. 2383 01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,219 The structures, commission members, 2384 01:32:32,219 --> 01:32:34,739 i'm I'm sure I detected excitement in your 2385 01:32:34,739 --> 01:32:35,969 in your voice when you 2386 01:32:35,969 --> 01:32:38,535 indicated that we were back again. 2387 01:32:38,535 --> 01:32:40,694 I'm actually very pleased to see you. 2388 01:32:40,694 --> 01:32:41,325 It's very good. 2389 01:32:41,325 --> 01:32:42,794 I don't see the city's enough. 2390 01:32:42,794 --> 01:32:43,754 We don't. 2391 01:32:43,754 --> 01:32:46,440 I'm Philip fell in league of Oregon cities. 2392 01:32:46,440 --> 01:32:47,699 And with me is ms. 2393 01:32:47,699 --> 01:32:50,519 Suzy Smith, who's the General Manager for 2394 01:32:50,519 --> 01:32:52,199 the Metropolitan wastewater 2395 01:32:52,199 --> 01:32:53,370 management program, 2396 01:32:53,370 --> 01:32:55,229 as well as the Environmental Manager 2397 01:32:55,229 --> 01:32:57,235 for the city of Springfield. 2398 01:32:57,235 --> 01:33:00,170 Suzy is here because she understands all of 2399 01:33:00,170 --> 01:33:01,249 those things and will be 2400 01:33:01,249 --> 01:33:02,989 available for questions. 2401 01:33:02,989 --> 01:33:05,240 Let me you should 2402 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,249 have been passed out a letter from 2403 01:33:07,249 --> 01:33:08,600 the league and let me also 2404 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:10,459 note that I have served as a courier 2405 01:33:10,459 --> 01:33:14,420 for Aqua Tawny out. 2406 01:33:14,420 --> 01:33:16,219 I expect that's why they are not 2407 01:33:16,219 --> 01:33:19,369 here on the legs. 2408 01:33:19,369 --> 01:33:21,229 But half, we think that the rules 2409 01:33:21,229 --> 01:33:23,690 continued to be somewhat incomplete. 2410 01:33:23,690 --> 01:33:26,509 We think that the major issues here are 2411 01:33:26,509 --> 01:33:28,114 no inappropriate development 2412 01:33:28,114 --> 01:33:30,305 outside urban growth boundaries. 2413 01:33:30,305 --> 01:33:32,600 Local plans, I've said in 2414 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:34,759 here the sanctity of local plans. 2415 01:33:34,759 --> 01:33:36,140 I think we should be allowed to 2416 01:33:36,140 --> 01:33:38,509 follow those plans and not diverted 2417 01:33:38,509 --> 01:33:42,599 from them by unexpected large projects. 2418 01:33:42,599 --> 01:33:44,489 And finally, we do not think 2419 01:33:44,489 --> 01:33:46,110 that city taxpayers should bear 2420 01:33:46,110 --> 01:33:47,939 the financial burden of correcting 2421 01:33:47,939 --> 01:33:50,264 a problem they did not solve. 2422 01:33:50,264 --> 01:33:52,334 We would like to see 2423 01:33:52,334 --> 01:33:56,400 external UVB extensions restricted to 2424 01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,729 currently developed lots in those areas in 2425 01:33:59,729 --> 01:34:01,139 which a hazard to 2426 01:34:01,139 --> 01:34:03,644 the public health is declared to exist. 2427 01:34:03,644 --> 01:34:05,640 Let me defer if I may, 2428 01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:07,889 from preceding speakers here and note 2429 01:34:07,889 --> 01:34:11,760 that we would like a definition 2430 01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:13,305 that would prohibit service 2431 01:34:13,305 --> 01:34:14,415 which would rectify 2432 01:34:14,415 --> 01:34:16,125 a potential health hazard 2433 01:34:16,125 --> 01:34:18,404 or an environmental hazard. 2434 01:34:18,404 --> 01:34:21,000 We are concerned that attempts to define 2435 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,550 such additional categories may have 2436 01:34:23,550 --> 01:34:24,929 the unintended effect of 2437 01:34:24,929 --> 01:34:27,150 allowing additional developments rather than 2438 01:34:27,150 --> 01:34:29,474 simply eliminating health hazards 2439 01:34:29,474 --> 01:34:32,594 that result from existing development. 2440 01:34:32,594 --> 01:34:34,679 We do not believe that 2441 01:34:34,679 --> 01:34:36,809 the commission should make a final decision 2442 01:34:36,809 --> 01:34:38,624 on these proposed amendments 2443 01:34:38,624 --> 01:34:40,350 until there is agreement with 2444 01:34:40,350 --> 01:34:41,640 dequeues language 2445 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,460 describing the problems to be addressed. 2446 01:34:44,460 --> 01:34:46,799 And I do, Mr. 2447 01:34:46,799 --> 01:34:48,010 Chair, 2448 01:34:56,060 --> 01:34:57,599 I think there 2449 01:34:57,599 --> 01:34:59,415 are more than five or ten 2450 01:34:59,415 --> 01:35:02,804 around the the state e.g. 2451 01:35:02,804 --> 01:35:04,080 a couple of subdivisions 2452 01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:05,880 outside of the urban growth boundary until 2453 01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,010 the county had been approved for 2454 01:35:08,010 --> 01:35:10,530 50 lots and for 27 lines. 2455 01:35:10,530 --> 01:35:12,764 They're small, they're planted. 2456 01:35:12,764 --> 01:35:15,074 But they are not Seward. 2457 01:35:15,074 --> 01:35:16,620 They want to be annexed to 2458 01:35:16,620 --> 01:35:18,720 the Pacific City Sanitary District. 2459 01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:19,979 There's an intervening property 2460 01:35:19,979 --> 01:35:21,975 owner that doesn't want 2461 01:35:21,975 --> 01:35:24,629 question I would think from 2462 01:35:24,629 --> 01:35:25,979 a city perspective would be 2463 01:35:25,979 --> 01:35:28,420 why are those lots there? 2464 01:35:30,410 --> 01:35:33,405 In cases where sewer extensions 2465 01:35:33,405 --> 01:35:34,620 are considered? 2466 01:35:34,620 --> 01:35:36,180 We think it's important to 2467 01:35:36,180 --> 01:35:38,039 assure that the extension will 2468 01:35:38,039 --> 01:35:41,325 not impose a financial hardship 2469 01:35:41,325 --> 01:35:43,524 on current city residents. 2470 01:35:43,524 --> 01:35:45,530 We are willing to help 2471 01:35:45,530 --> 01:35:47,345 to the degree that we can help. 2472 01:35:47,345 --> 01:35:48,620 But we do think that 2473 01:35:48,620 --> 01:35:50,629 state agencies should be able to assure 2474 01:35:50,629 --> 01:35:53,314 that providing municipality that 2475 01:35:53,314 --> 01:35:54,829 the costs related to 2476 01:35:54,829 --> 01:35:56,540 line extension as well as 2477 01:35:56,540 --> 01:35:58,460 treatment capacity and 2478 01:35:58,460 --> 01:36:02,239 maintenance of the extension 2479 01:36:02,239 --> 01:36:05,060 will be covered in cost and will be built 2480 01:36:05,060 --> 01:36:06,830 the city standards with 2481 01:36:06,830 --> 01:36:09,349 the possible exception of the line itself, 2482 01:36:09,349 --> 01:36:11,329 which may be smaller to prevent to 2483 01:36:11,329 --> 01:36:12,170 assure that there will 2484 01:36:12,170 --> 01:36:14,479 be no additional hookups. 2485 01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,639 And we think that the providing 2486 01:36:16,639 --> 01:36:18,155 local government should be 2487 01:36:18,155 --> 01:36:20,419 involved in evaluating 2488 01:36:20,419 --> 01:36:22,429 the proposed solutions, 2489 01:36:22,429 --> 01:36:24,170 including the feasibility and 2490 01:36:24,170 --> 01:36:25,990 cost of the extension. 2491 01:36:25,990 --> 01:36:28,139 And finally, as I 2492 01:36:28,139 --> 01:36:30,389 said in the penultimate sentence, 2493 01:36:30,389 --> 01:36:32,279 I think we need to scratch 2494 01:36:32,279 --> 01:36:33,494 some stuff out here. 2495 01:36:33,494 --> 01:36:35,160 Let me note that we believe that we are in 2496 01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:35,700 agreement with 2497 01:36:35,700 --> 01:36:37,484 the Department on these issues. 2498 01:36:37,484 --> 01:36:40,229 We may well be on most of the issues. 2499 01:36:40,229 --> 01:36:41,550 I don't think all 2500 01:36:41,550 --> 01:36:43,605 after listening to the testimony, 2501 01:36:43,605 --> 01:36:45,644 we would be happy to answer. 2502 01:36:45,644 --> 01:36:46,949 Susie wouldn't be very happy. 2503 01:36:46,949 --> 01:36:48,060 I'm sure I answer any 2504 01:36:48,060 --> 01:36:49,754 questions that you may have. 2505 01:36:49,754 --> 01:36:51,519 Actually. 2506 01:36:55,130 --> 01:36:58,079 My role in this has been one of 2507 01:36:58,079 --> 01:37:00,149 a crossover rule between working 2508 01:37:00,149 --> 01:37:06,220 with planning and the state wastewater. 2509 01:37:10,370 --> 01:37:13,185 Discussion between 2510 01:37:13,185 --> 01:37:16,180 public works oriented wastewater, 2511 01:37:17,300 --> 01:37:22,330 responsibility on the concerns seen. 2512 01:37:23,300 --> 01:37:32,339 One, highly supportive ice that staff is 2513 01:37:32,339 --> 01:37:36,149 not proposing any requirements on 2514 01:37:36,149 --> 01:37:41,054 cities or half to sewer. 2515 01:37:41,054 --> 01:37:45,480 However, the local politics involved once 2516 01:37:45,480 --> 01:37:51,330 sewers are such that 2517 01:37:51,330 --> 01:37:54,525 we even are in our local area. 2518 01:37:54,525 --> 01:37:57,539 Short mountain landfill leachate project. 2519 01:37:57,539 --> 01:37:58,844 We have seen 2520 01:37:58,844 --> 01:38:02,529 the political debate that arises. 2521 01:38:03,980 --> 01:38:07,590 Potential rural development type 2522 01:38:07,590 --> 01:38:10,184 up and growth expansion. 2523 01:38:10,184 --> 01:38:12,990 So while we appreciate it's enabling, 2524 01:38:12,990 --> 01:38:14,909 we also want to express 2525 01:38:14,909 --> 01:38:17,220 our apprehension that we are 2526 01:38:17,220 --> 01:38:19,755 concerned at the presence 2527 01:38:19,755 --> 01:38:23,610 of sewer in platted subdivisions where 2528 01:38:23,610 --> 01:38:24,899 there are still lots of 2529 01:38:24,899 --> 01:38:27,000 record that are not develop 2530 01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:29,279 the pressures that will come to bear on 2531 01:38:29,279 --> 01:38:32,664 local governments to continue to expand. 2532 01:38:32,664 --> 01:38:37,040 And, and that the concerns 2533 01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:41,165 that arise for us involve planning certainty, 2534 01:38:41,165 --> 01:38:43,340 financial capability, 2535 01:38:43,340 --> 01:38:46,070 financing mechanism capability. 2536 01:38:46,070 --> 01:38:49,024 But also, I'm not aware 2537 01:38:49,024 --> 01:38:52,579 of urban water providers that 2538 01:38:52,579 --> 01:38:56,225 provide wastewater collection and 2539 01:38:56,225 --> 01:38:57,784 treatment services outside 2540 01:38:57,784 --> 01:38:59,075 urban growth boundaries 2541 01:38:59,075 --> 01:39:02,789 that have the administrative mechanism. 2542 01:39:05,020 --> 01:39:09,364 It's something from a cost recovery 2543 01:39:09,364 --> 01:39:13,580 and ongoing maintenance, 2544 01:39:13,580 --> 01:39:16,365 but ongoing upkeep role that, 2545 01:39:16,365 --> 01:39:18,240 that urban government government 2546 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,700 would be taking on in. 2547 01:39:20,700 --> 01:39:25,200 So that we could 2548 01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:28,139 be involved in the preparation of 2549 01:39:28,139 --> 01:39:32,109 financing or feasibility analysis 2550 01:39:33,110 --> 01:39:36,240 developed to suggest what 2551 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:40,570 the practicable or reasonable. 2552 01:39:40,790 --> 01:39:44,715 We could ensure that construction, 2553 01:39:44,715 --> 01:39:47,340 maintenance and jurists side 2554 01:39:47,340 --> 01:39:50,319 urban growth boundaries would still meet. 2555 01:39:55,220 --> 01:39:57,390 We'd like to continue to 2556 01:39:57,390 --> 01:39:58,649 work with staff just to 2557 01:39:58,649 --> 01:40:07,080 nail down some questions. 2558 01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:10,425 Just a final thought, If I may, Mr. chair, 2559 01:40:10,425 --> 01:40:12,330 as we have looked at at 2560 01:40:12,330 --> 01:40:16,170 the example of the seams, 2561 01:40:16,170 --> 01:40:17,759 that one way of limiting 2562 01:40:17,759 --> 01:40:19,590 the extension into the into 2563 01:40:19,590 --> 01:40:22,049 the other areas would be to use 2564 01:40:22,049 --> 01:40:23,459 a definition that applied it to 2565 01:40:23,459 --> 01:40:25,110 existing lots health hazard, 2566 01:40:25,110 --> 01:40:27,344 only, some kind of 2567 01:40:27,344 --> 01:40:30,060 cost and feasibility analysis. 2568 01:40:30,060 --> 01:40:31,440 And if you all 2569 01:40:31,440 --> 01:40:33,030 think that that will not do it, 2570 01:40:33,030 --> 01:40:35,700 I guess I would Support 2571 01:40:35,700 --> 01:40:37,230 some kind of limitation there 2572 01:40:37,230 --> 01:40:39,299 to make sure that we aren't allowing that 2573 01:40:39,299 --> 01:40:42,459 to happen outside the urban growth boundary. 2574 01:40:43,220 --> 01:40:46,440 Both of you brought up the issue of worrying 2575 01:40:46,440 --> 01:40:49,199 about being able to cover cost. 2576 01:40:49,199 --> 01:40:50,610 And I'm assuming this is 2577 01:40:50,610 --> 01:40:53,849 mainly for a city 2578 01:40:53,849 --> 01:40:56,115 if it was a sanitary district. 2579 01:40:56,115 --> 01:40:58,170 I assume that you're not you're 2580 01:40:58,170 --> 01:41:00,029 not representing a special districts, 2581 01:41:00,029 --> 01:41:02,099 so you're you're talking about if a city 2582 01:41:02,099 --> 01:41:05,409 is the one to whom this sewage goes. 2583 01:41:05,750 --> 01:41:08,025 What's puzzles means I don't see 2584 01:41:08,025 --> 01:41:09,149 what would prevent you 2585 01:41:09,149 --> 01:41:11,654 from recovering the cost lately. 2586 01:41:11,654 --> 01:41:12,780 I mean, I just seems to me that 2587 01:41:12,780 --> 01:41:13,860 would be instead of 2588 01:41:13,860 --> 01:41:15,419 sewer rate and you can't 2589 01:41:15,419 --> 01:41:17,910 recover it, whatever it was. 2590 01:41:17,910 --> 01:41:20,399 It sounds like though you are 2591 01:41:20,399 --> 01:41:21,735 really worried that you might not 2592 01:41:21,735 --> 01:41:22,784 and I can't figure out why. 2593 01:41:22,784 --> 01:41:25,245 Well, Mr. Chair, our jurisdiction 2594 01:41:25,245 --> 01:41:27,179 ends at city boundaries, 2595 01:41:27,179 --> 01:41:28,589 which means we would need 2596 01:41:28,589 --> 01:41:29,849 some kind of contract. 2597 01:41:29,849 --> 01:41:30,794 Am I correct? 2598 01:41:30,794 --> 01:41:32,549 Well, why don't I take this one? 2599 01:41:32,549 --> 01:41:33,869 Good idea? 2600 01:41:33,869 --> 01:41:37,034 Right now, the, the practical 2601 01:41:37,034 --> 01:41:40,469 mechanisms for cities class 2602 01:41:40,469 --> 01:41:43,289 both in terms of capital cost 2603 01:41:43,289 --> 01:41:44,744 for capacity 2604 01:41:44,744 --> 01:41:47,429 through system development charges. 2605 01:41:47,429 --> 01:41:49,709 And typical rate 2606 01:41:49,709 --> 01:41:53,399 recovered costs involve relationships with 2607 01:41:53,399 --> 01:41:57,989 local going out and reading 2608 01:41:57,989 --> 01:42:00,779 water meters as the measure of 2609 01:42:00,779 --> 01:42:05,249 flow to determine what sewer rates are. 2610 01:42:05,249 --> 01:42:06,960 Those utilities, 2611 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,330 typically their municipal water utilities, 2612 01:42:09,330 --> 01:42:10,979 they don't serve outside 2613 01:42:10,979 --> 01:42:13,320 the urban growth boundary area. 2614 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:16,275 These these plots may be on wells. 2615 01:42:16,275 --> 01:42:18,464 We don't so we don't have meters, 2616 01:42:18,464 --> 01:42:20,219 we don't have meter reader, 2617 01:42:20,219 --> 01:42:22,020 meter reading capability. 2618 01:42:22,020 --> 01:42:23,490 We don't have data. 2619 01:42:23,490 --> 01:42:26,669 We don't have billing and connect collections 2620 01:42:26,669 --> 01:42:28,679 infrastructure because the utilities 2621 01:42:28,679 --> 01:42:31,125 also provide that for us. 2622 01:42:31,125 --> 01:42:32,850 And we don't have the capability 2623 01:42:32,850 --> 01:42:34,260 to collect SDC 2624 01:42:34,260 --> 01:42:38,610 is planning and building authority within. 2625 01:42:38,610 --> 01:42:40,515 Boundary areas, 2626 01:42:40,515 --> 01:42:44,220 the counties do not provide that function. 2627 01:42:44,220 --> 01:42:46,575 So unless we explore 2628 01:42:46,575 --> 01:42:48,090 different relationships 2629 01:42:48,090 --> 01:42:49,860 in those jurisdictions that 2630 01:42:49,860 --> 01:42:54,480 enable cities to I don't know 2631 01:42:54,480 --> 01:42:57,270 what Counties 2632 01:42:57,270 --> 01:43:01,379 collect some kind of mechanisms. 2633 01:43:01,379 --> 01:43:03,869 These are just their questions for us. 2634 01:43:03,869 --> 01:43:05,759 We haven't faced it before. 2635 01:43:05,759 --> 01:43:08,324 We

A sewer system? 2905 01:53:15,584 --> 01:53:18,014 Well, we've at this point, 2906 01:53:18,014 --> 01:53:19,409 I think I understand 2907 01:53:19,409 --> 01:53:21,269 EQ to be recommending that. 2908 01:53:21,269 --> 01:53:25,770 It's that definition is two or more homes 2909 01:53:25,770 --> 01:53:29,040 up to the same Greenfield 2910 01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,030 would be a sewer system. 2911 01:53:31,100 --> 01:53:34,499 So just to remind you that e.g. 2912 01:53:34,499 --> 01:53:35,909 in the environmental hazard, 2913 01:53:35,909 --> 01:53:38,924 maybe we have I'm thinking of Clear Lake e.g. 2914 01:53:38,924 --> 01:53:40,694 down in Lane County. 2915 01:53:40,694 --> 01:53:42,569 And there's been an awful lot of litigation 2916 01:53:42,569 --> 01:53:45,489 they're involving. 2917 01:53:45,860 --> 01:53:48,480 Know that it's a healthy I don't think it 2918 01:53:48,480 --> 01:53:50,160 is rises to the point of the health hazard. 2919 01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:52,949 And Mike, that's an example of if all of 2920 01:53:52,949 --> 01:53:54,480 the development currently in 2921 01:53:54,480 --> 01:53:57,224 that very small basin was Seward, 2922 01:53:57,224 --> 01:53:58,980 that lake would remain 2923 01:53:58,980 --> 01:54:02,230 clear lake it's going to become cloudy link. 2924 01:54:03,950 --> 01:54:07,020 Night. When we talk about a sewer system, 2925 01:54:07,020 --> 01:54:11,250 it might be three or four rings or something. 2926 01:54:11,250 --> 01:54:12,990 I mean, it might not generally talking 2927 01:54:12,990 --> 01:54:15,509 about a treatment plan and 2928 01:54:15,509 --> 01:54:19,409 certainly very very quickly 2929 01:54:19,409 --> 01:54:20,999 get out of my area of expertise. 2930 01:54:20,999 --> 01:54:22,799 I haven't dealt with these things. 2931 01:54:22,799 --> 01:54:26,460 And so what we're 2932 01:54:26,460 --> 01:54:27,780 dealing with when we talk about trying 2933 01:54:27,780 --> 01:54:29,250 to solve an environmental hazard. 2934 01:54:29,250 --> 01:54:30,359 It's certainly not something 2935 01:54:30,359 --> 01:54:32,145 that discussion in the work. 2936 01:54:32,145 --> 01:54:32,969 It is. 2937 01:54:32,969 --> 01:54:33,839 There have been a little bit 2938 01:54:33,839 --> 01:54:35,054 of reference to it. 2939 01:54:35,054 --> 01:54:38,820 There's no data that we've collected about. 2940 01:54:38,820 --> 01:54:40,619 What is environmental hazard? 2941 01:54:40,619 --> 01:54:41,940 How many of them are there? 2942 01:54:41,940 --> 01:54:43,259 How big are they, and 2943 01:54:43,259 --> 01:54:45,225 what might we be opening? 2944 01:54:45,225 --> 01:54:46,259 So I think we're going 2945 01:54:46,259 --> 01:54:47,700 to proceed very cautiously. 2946 01:54:47,700 --> 01:54:49,200 If we can get to some agreement 2947 01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:50,939 about some definition, 2948 01:54:50,939 --> 01:54:54,255 will present that to you at your May hearing. 2949 01:54:54,255 --> 01:54:56,099 We may we may give you 2950 01:54:56,099 --> 01:54:57,944 an option on that maybe that 2951 01:54:57,944 --> 01:54:59,910 whereby these rules only 2952 01:54:59,910 --> 01:55:01,079 authorized for health hazard 2953 01:55:01,079 --> 01:55:03,370 and we leave that one off. 2954 01:55:04,850 --> 01:55:07,439 We have health hazards for 2955 01:55:07,439 --> 01:55:09,330 single-family or maybe two or three, 2956 01:55:09,330 --> 01:55:11,879 and then a small area that can be declared 2957 01:55:11,879 --> 01:55:13,199 a health hazard as opposed 2958 01:55:13,199 --> 01:55:14,639 to what I think a health hazard, 2959 01:55:14,639 --> 01:55:19,349 I think a large subdivision type situation. 2960 01:55:19,349 --> 01:55:25,799 And I don't know generally, 2961 01:55:25,799 --> 01:55:26,489 I think but that is 2962 01:55:26,489 --> 01:55:27,869 a formal process that health 2963 01:55:27,869 --> 01:55:29,459 hazard and then we've 2964 01:55:29,459 --> 01:55:30,480 got something to tie it to. 2965 01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:31,889 One way we save that. 2966 01:55:31,889 --> 01:55:35,100 I think of all of rural septic tanks that are 2967 01:55:35,100 --> 01:55:36,569 not working well and then 2968 01:55:36,569 --> 01:55:38,250 there are ways to take care of that. 2969 01:55:38,250 --> 01:55:38,640 In fact, 2970 01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:40,769 the small diameter pressure sewer line 2971 01:55:40,769 --> 01:55:41,880 is not that expensive to 2972 01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:43,019 run for quite a distance. 2973 01:55:43,019 --> 01:55:46,740 So it is an option if that thinking, 2974 01:55:46,740 --> 01:55:48,434 doing things like that or not, 2975 01:55:48,434 --> 01:55:51,010 or permitting that possibly. 2976 01:55:51,140 --> 01:55:54,240 Share blocks are commissioner Macpherson 2977 01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:55,559 this Denesoline worth 2978 01:55:55,559 --> 01:55:56,609 department incremental quality. 2979 01:55:56,609 --> 01:56:00,404 Your question regarding public health hazard. 2980 01:56:00,404 --> 01:56:02,430 We take it a step further and look 2981 01:56:02,430 --> 01:56:04,289 at it as a public health hazard, 2982 01:56:04,289 --> 01:56:06,164 which means it's an area 2983 01:56:06,164 --> 01:56:09,450 I'm area wide type situation, 2984 01:56:09,450 --> 01:56:12,465 community, neighborhood, something like that. 2985 01:56:12,465 --> 01:56:16,154 Somebody was to have a failing system. 2986 01:56:16,154 --> 01:56:18,884 We look at it as 2987 01:56:18,884 --> 01:56:23,249 an potential health hazard if it's in 2988 01:56:23,249 --> 01:56:26,430 combination with others or if it's happens to 2989 01:56:26,430 --> 01:56:28,424 be running down the street, 2990 01:56:28,424 --> 01:56:29,700 something like that. 2991 01:56:29,700 --> 01:56:31,289 I mean, those things do happen but then we 2992 01:56:31,289 --> 01:56:33,480 look at fixing that onsite. 2993 01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:37,050 It's not something that we even consider 2994 01:56:37,050 --> 01:56:39,600 sewer Ford's wondered if 2995 01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:40,889 you had any size thing. 2996 01:56:40,889 --> 01:56:43,155 In other words, if three people in an area, 2997 01:56:43,155 --> 01:56:46,274 would you think about that are proposed, 2998 01:56:46,274 --> 01:56:48,105 maybe a sand filter or something like that, 2999 01:56:48,105 --> 01:56:49,364 which you could do on site, 3000 01:56:49,364 --> 01:56:52,500 on the sweater is there are ways of 3001 01:56:52,500 --> 01:56:54,150 fixing most everything now by 3002 01:56:54,150 --> 01:56:57,220 a septic tank if you just spend enough money. 3003 01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,960 Well, we've all we've 3004 01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:03,210 all heard from we've all heard 3005 01:57:03,210 --> 01:57:04,440 snake oil salesmen in 3006 01:57:04,440 --> 01:57:06,029 the past that talk about 3007 01:57:06,029 --> 01:57:07,604 the eyeballs of newts and 3008 01:57:07,604 --> 01:57:10,305 black boxes for sewage disposal systems. 3009 01:57:10,305 --> 01:57:12,149 Whether they're really effective 3010 01:57:12,149 --> 01:57:14,339 and how long they really work. 3011 01:57:14,339 --> 01:57:16,949 And whether they alert word for long-term, 3012 01:57:16,949 --> 01:57:19,080 whether they work without a great deal of 3013 01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,979 maintenance is another is another issue. 3014 01:57:22,979 --> 01:57:25,949 We are not interested in 3015 01:57:25,949 --> 01:57:28,200 allowing any technology to 3016 01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:30,119 be placed on that site. 3017 01:57:30,119 --> 01:57:33,990 If the person wants to spend $100,000 or not, 3018 01:57:33,990 --> 01:57:35,909 if he's not going to take care of it. 3019 01:57:35,909 --> 01:57:37,890 If there's not an ongoing operation and 3020 01:57:37,890 --> 01:57:39,029 maintenance program for 3021 01:57:39,029 --> 01:57:40,770 their that system can be 3022 01:57:40,770 --> 01:57:43,139 an environmental problem after 3023 01:57:43,139 --> 01:57:46,605 day two or a public health concern. 3024 01:57:46,605 --> 01:57:52,199 So there are technological fixes. 3025 01:57:52,199 --> 01:57:56,550 But there's also the practical side of that, 3026 01:57:56,550 --> 01:57:59,174 where that line is. 3027 01:57:59,174 --> 01:58:01,650 But basically we're not trying to solve 3028 01:58:01,650 --> 01:58:03,239 those particular problems with what 3029 01:58:03,239 --> 01:58:05,219 we have before us here now. 3030 01:58:05,219 --> 01:58:08,370 And we're we're we're 3031 01:58:08,370 --> 01:58:09,989 doing onsite sewage disposal 3032 01:58:09,989 --> 01:58:11,129 with sand filters. 3033 01:58:11,129 --> 01:58:16,600 We have sand filters, pressurized systems. 3034 01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:21,360 In some places, the state environmental or 3035 01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:24,795 a buyer transformation systems. 3036 01:58:24,795 --> 01:58:26,460 We have a variety of 3037 01:58:26,460 --> 01:58:29,324 different methods of doing onsite system. 3038 01:58:29,324 --> 01:58:31,874 But like anything else, 3039 01:58:31,874 --> 01:58:36,729 on-site will not solve all the problems. 3040 01:58:38,570 --> 01:58:41,580 Bob, on the same point. 3041 01:58:41,580 --> 01:58:43,679 I'm sitting here thinking that 3042 01:58:43,679 --> 01:58:45,239 we're looking at this from 3043 01:58:45,239 --> 01:58:46,800 on-site is one end of the spectrum 3044 01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:48,269 and sewer systems on the other. 3045 01:58:48,269 --> 01:58:49,380 And I looked for a definition, 3046 01:58:49,380 --> 01:58:50,760 the sewer system and I 3047 01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:51,450 see a definition of 3048 01:58:51,450 --> 01:58:52,439 water system and the goal, 3049 01:58:52,439 --> 01:58:53,610 but I don't find a definition of 3050 01:58:53,610 --> 01:58:55,994 the rule or the goal of sewer system. 3051 01:58:55,994 --> 01:58:58,679 Maybe I misread will have a definition. 3052 01:58:58,679 --> 01:59:00,629 In fact, dq just recently 3053 01:59:00,629 --> 01:59:02,835 gave us some because, well, that's my point. 3054 01:59:02,835 --> 01:59:04,109 We don't have when we're using 3055 01:59:04,109 --> 01:59:06,719 the operative term sewer systems throughout. 3056 01:59:06,719 --> 01:59:09,840 And I know in within that continuum, 3057 01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:11,129 there are other types of 3058 01:59:11,129 --> 01:59:12,930 systems where 3059 01:59:12,930 --> 01:59:14,909 multiple dwellings will hook up, 3060 01:59:14,909 --> 01:59:16,560 multiple single-family detached will 3061 01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:18,209 hook up to a common error, 3062 01:59:18,209 --> 01:59:19,380 whether you call it, whether it's 3063 01:59:19,380 --> 01:59:21,299 a giant sand filter or something else. 3064 01:59:21,299 --> 01:59:23,789 Are those sewer systems for 3065 01:59:23,789 --> 01:59:26,384 purposes of this or is it just pi? 3066 01:59:26,384 --> 01:59:28,530 I mean, there are situations where I have 3067 01:59:28,530 --> 01:59:30,839 20 units and we want to cluster for 3068 01:59:30,839 --> 01:59:33,239 environmental reasons on this to 100 acres. 3069 01:59:33,239 --> 01:59:35,220 It's got one unit per five acres. 3070 01:59:35,220 --> 01:59:36,450 Rather than go out and plug 3071 01:59:36,450 --> 01:59:38,280 one unit per five acres and spread it out 3072 01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:39,990 throughout the 100 with 3073 01:59:39,990 --> 01:59:41,460 all kinds of negative implications. 3074 01:59:41,460 --> 01:59:43,200 And five acres you're 3075 01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:44,789 saying or you're you're dirt works, 3076 01:59:44,789 --> 01:59:48,945 you'll have individual onsite systems, 3077 01:59:48,945 --> 01:59:50,580 but they want to cluster. 3078 01:59:50,580 --> 01:59:52,109 The density is still the same, 3079 01:59:52,109 --> 01:59:53,070 it's still 20 units, 3080 01:59:53,070 --> 01:59:54,539 but they're going to that in a 3081 01:59:54,539 --> 01:59:56,505 third or a quarter of the area, 3082 01:59:56,505 --> 01:59:57,869 but they don't have enough of 3083 01:59:57,869 --> 01:59:59,610 those individual quarter acre lots and the 3084 01:59:59,610 --> 02:00:00,794 longer have acre lots 3085 02:00:00,794 --> 02:00:02,219 to do an on-site filter. 3086 02:00:02,219 --> 02:00:03,989 So they want to combine into a big one. 3087 02:00:03,989 --> 02:00:06,900 Is that prohibited by where we're going here? 3088 02:00:06,900 --> 02:00:07,950 Is that a sewer system 3089 02:00:07,950 --> 02:00:09,209 or is it something else? 3090 02:00:09,209 --> 02:00:10,815 Two things. 3091 02:00:10,815 --> 02:00:13,470 First, you're describing something 3092 02:00:13,470 --> 02:00:14,249 that sounds an awful lot 3093 02:00:14,249 --> 02:00:15,614 like Marion County case 3094 02:00:15,614 --> 02:00:17,445 that happened sometime back where 3095 02:00:17,445 --> 02:00:18,990 that cluster was declared 3096 02:00:18,990 --> 02:00:21,284 to be in violation of the 14. 3097 02:00:21,284 --> 02:00:24,600 As it begins to look like an urban use. 3098 02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:27,659 And in fact, the PUD clustering provisions of 3099 02:00:27,659 --> 02:00:28,860 curry County where the 3100 02:00:28,860 --> 02:00:31,054 subject of them famous County case. 3101 02:00:31,054 --> 02:00:33,650 So I think we 3102 02:00:33,650 --> 02:00:34,760 don't necessarily want to 3103 02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:36,694 encourage that clustering and rural areas. 3104 02:00:36,694 --> 02:00:38,780 At least court seemed to think 3105 02:00:38,780 --> 02:00:40,985 that in many cases, 3106 02:00:40,985 --> 02:00:42,859 zoning that encourage that, 3107 02:00:42,859 --> 02:00:43,879 but certainly closer to 3108 02:00:43,879 --> 02:00:45,455 a rural level, forget to the turbine. 3109 02:00:45,455 --> 02:00:46,130 They're clustering, 3110 02:00:46,130 --> 02:00:47,405 do an acre and a half lot. 3111 02:00:47,405 --> 02:00:48,020 I'm sorry. 3112 02:00:48,020 --> 02:00:49,760 I'll get to your answer, your question. 3113 02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:50,599 And that is that we don't have 3114 02:00:50,599 --> 02:00:51,919 a definition yet of a sewer system. 3115 02:00:51,919 --> 02:00:53,239 We could define those 3116 02:00:53,239 --> 02:00:54,875 as not being a sewer system. 3117 02:00:54,875 --> 02:00:56,210 We've had to make that call 3118 02:00:56,210 --> 02:00:57,170 already in a couple of 3119 02:00:57,170 --> 02:00:59,615 cases and shoots County, e.g. 3120 02:00:59,615 --> 02:01:01,189 was asking similar questions to us 3121 02:01:01,189 --> 02:01:02,974 while back I had to say, 3122 02:01:02,974 --> 02:01:04,250 we don't have a definition. 3123 02:01:04,250 --> 02:01:05,674 We don't know. If you 3124 02:01:05,674 --> 02:01:07,699 connect ten lots to have common drain field, 3125 02:01:07,699 --> 02:01:10,145 whether that's a sewer system and we will, 3126 02:01:10,145 --> 02:01:12,959 we will be giving you a definition 3127 02:01:13,090 --> 02:01:14,719 when we send out 3128 02:01:14,719 --> 02:01:15,770 the next graph with these rules. 3129 02:01:15,770 --> 02:01:17,614 Okay, That's all I need is point. 3130 02:01:17,614 --> 02:01:19,489 I think where we're heading 3131 02:01:19,489 --> 02:01:21,289 is that the example 3132 02:01:21,289 --> 02:01:24,754 you described would be a sewer system? Yeah. 3133 02:01:24,754 --> 02:01:26,750 We'll have some discussion about well, 3134 02:01:26,750 --> 02:01:27,290 I don't want to talk 3135 02:01:27,290 --> 02:01:27,980 about them because there are 3136 02:01:27,980 --> 02:01:29,389 plenty of instances where 3137 02:01:29,389 --> 02:01:30,814 set aside urban versus rural 3138 02:01:30,814 --> 02:01:32,540 because that line is still somewhat vague. 3139 02:01:32,540 --> 02:01:33,859 There are plenty of instances 3140 02:01:33,859 --> 02:01:34,879 where if you compete with 3141 02:01:34,879 --> 02:01:36,109 natural resource values 3142 02:01:36,109 --> 02:01:37,130 are other implications. 3143 02:01:37,130 --> 02:01:38,810 Clustering may very well be in 3144 02:01:38,810 --> 02:01:40,400 a rural setting where 3145 02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:41,810 it's one unit per five or one unit 3146 02:01:41,810 --> 02:01:43,384 per two-and-a-half on the base zone 3147 02:01:43,384 --> 02:01:44,989 may make more sense from 3148 02:01:44,989 --> 02:01:46,969 all perspectives only to find we run a foul 3149 02:01:46,969 --> 02:01:49,069 of a goal 11 prohibition on it, 3150 02:01:49,069 --> 02:01:50,780 on a unique and innovative system. 3151 02:01:50,780 --> 02:01:52,759 I don't see a dequeue definition here. 3152 02:01:52,759 --> 02:01:54,470 I see for others on-site, 3153 02:01:54,470 --> 02:01:55,970 you're going to come up with one though, 3154 02:01:55,970 --> 02:01:56,929 but I don't see one in here. 3155 02:01:56,929 --> 02:01:59,070 He is.

02:20:07,999 --> 02:20:10,534 the existing municipal water system. 3573 02:20:10,534 --> 02:20:14,764 What the county requires under the applicable 3574 02:20:14,764 --> 02:20:17,209 that in 3575 02:20:17,209 --> 02:20:20,899 ground community water system, provided. 3576 02:20:20,899 --> 02:20:23,390 And that system design 3577 02:20:23,390 --> 02:20:25,579 so that it can be connected to 3578 02:20:25,579 --> 02:20:27,770 the cities or system when 3579 02:20:27,770 --> 02:20:31,204 it reaches that development. 3580 02:20:31,204 --> 02:20:34,310 But that in the interim between where 3581

02:20:56,720 --> 02:20:58,100 that is you do not have 3591 02:20:58,100 --> 02:21:00,410 the same fire flows the present 3592 02:21:00,410 --> 02:21:04,655 inside until for one system disconnect. 3593

taken in the morning. 3741 02:29:03,784 --> 02:29:05,750 If you'll look at the language 3742 02:29:05,750 --> 02:29:10,950 on page those border, 3743 02:29:11,740 --> 02:29:15,830 12.3 in line three on page 20 3744 02:29:15,830 --> 02:29:20,239 of that agreement, in my view, 3745 02:29:20,239 --> 02:29:21,409 made it pretty clear that 3746 02:29:21,409 --> 02:29:28,339 the petitioners arguments that the full range 3747 02:29:28,339 --> 02:29:30,080 of urban services can be provided at 3748 02:29:30,080 --> 02:29:32,299 the time of approval was 3749 02:29:32,299 --> 02:29:34,010 inconsistent with this agreement and 3750 02:29:34,010 --> 02:29:37,469 disagreement consistent with that position. 3751 02:29:37,690 --> 02:29:41,339 Number one makes it stays. 3752 02:29:41,590 --> 02:29:45,934 Urbanizing areas, potentially be serviced. 3753 02:29:45,934 --> 02:29:49,159 Describes those services 3754 02:29:49,159 --> 02:29:51,350 being provided to citizens. 3755 02:29:51,350 --> 02:29:55,039 Request, identifies 3756 02:29:55,039 --> 02:29:58,670 the candy role role in facilitating 3757 02:29:58,670 --> 02:30:03,439 translation from turning to 3758 02:30:03,439 --> 02:30:07,680 the urban growth period zoning ordinance. 3759 02:30:08,920 --> 02:30:12,529 Identify one criterion that's 3760 02:30:12,529 --> 02:30:15,239 included in that ordinance. 3761 02:30:15,250 --> 02:30:17,480 In approving these developments, 3762 02:30:17,480 --> 02:30:21,905 the county does dress 3763 02:30:21,905 --> 02:30:25,339 whether there is adequate capacity to serve, 3764 02:30:25,339 --> 02:30:29,399 develop adequate public facilities. 3765 02:30:30,310 --> 02:30:33,990 But the ordinances require 3766 02:30:36,040 --> 02:30:39,724 count and ensure an urban level of services. 3767 02:30:39,724 --> 02:30:41,869 Either they are available 3768 02:30:41,869 --> 02:30:44,060 at the time the applications submitted or 3769 02:30:44,060 --> 02:30:51,649 providing currently the approval site. 3770 02:30:51,649 --> 02:30:53,599 The middle of the page 21 3771 02:30:53,599 --> 02:30:56,300 sections that describe generally 3772 02:30:56,300 --> 02:30:58,129 transportation civil war as one 3773 02:30:58,129 --> 02:31:02,569 of those sections specifically 3774 02:31:02,569 --> 02:31:05,779 provide where developments are 3775 02:31:05,779 --> 02:31:11,354 located beyond the water system, e.g. 3776 02:31:11,354 --> 02:31:15,530 the systems provided the condition 3777 02:31:15,530 --> 02:31:16,940 that they ultimately connect to them. 3778 02:31:16,940 --> 02:31:23,240 This consistent discussion of 3779 02:31:23,240 --> 02:31:25,910 the subdivision or this begins on page 21. 3780 02:31:25,910 --> 02:31:27,379 And if that ordinance 3781 02:31:27,379 --> 02:31:30,659 carries the same approach. 3782 02:31:36,640 --> 02:31:39,604 Okay, beginning of 22, 3783 02:31:39,604 --> 02:31:43,829 discussion seven policy. 3784 02:31:46,210 --> 02:31:49,849 I think it's important to note that under 3785 02:31:49,849 --> 02:31:51,619 the counties and cities 3786 02:31:51,619 --> 02:31:53,780 regulatory scheme that goals, 3787 02:31:53,780 --> 02:31:57,499 goals are not approval 3788 02:31:57,499 --> 02:32:00,600 criteria to directly apply to development. 3789 02:32:01,060 --> 02:32:03,649 In fact, the goal 3790 02:32:03,649 --> 02:32:05,209 in policy, can you read them together? 3791 02:32:05,209 --> 02:32:06,829 Presley's estate, but they're 3792 02:32:06,829 --> 02:32:10,409 implemented through other ordinances. 3793 02:32:11,920 --> 02:32:14,729 Ordinances. 3794 02:32:15,640 --> 02:32:18,094 The goal of policy referred 3795 02:32:18,094 --> 02:32:21,109 to are the subdivision ordinance. 3796 02:32:21,109 --> 02:32:26,194 And look at those provisions, 3797 02:32:26,194 --> 02:32:28,189 they make it very clear that 3798 02:32:28,189 --> 02:32:29,750 the government wanted to 3799 02:32:29,750 --> 02:32:31,849 prove the sewer have 3800 02:32:31,849 --> 02:32:33,770 to be in place with the other services, 3801 02:32:33,770 --> 02:32:36,394 particularly water, is an important one. 3802 02:32:36,394 --> 02:32:39,019 If the development is beyond 300 ft, 3803 02:32:39,019 --> 02:32:41,479 exist anymore names and 3804 02:32:41,479 --> 02:32:45,680 installed, constructed, and tested. 3805 02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:47,780 But the connection can be 3806 02:32:47,780 --> 02:32:51,750 deferred until you decide. 3807 02:33:00,430 --> 02:33:02,930 I think probably the critical point. 3808 02:33:02,930 --> 02:33:05,839 And we knew this goal 3809 02:33:05,839 --> 02:33:07,639 77 policy 3810 02:33:07,639 --> 02:33:09,695 learning contexts for these ordinance. 3811 02:33:09,695 --> 02:33:11,900 It was my conclusion basically simply could 3812 02:33:11,900 --> 02:33:16,910 not require the current division 3813 02:33:16,910 --> 02:33:21,649 of water zoning ordinance 3814 02:33:21,649 --> 02:33:22,670 specifically provided 3815 02:33:22,670 --> 02:33:30,360 other skipping over section. 3816 02:33:31,450 --> 02:33:34,620 On page 25. 3817 02:33:41,410 --> 02:33:42,979 This section 3818 02:33:42,979 --> 02:33:45,540 was included to address an argument. 3819 02:33:47,530 --> 02:33:54,769 Or S1 requires that goal 3820 02:33:54,769 --> 02:33:56,090 setting and goal setting policy 3821 02:33:56,090 --> 02:34:00,860 is interpreted consistently with goals 11. 3822 02:34:00,860 --> 02:34:04,019 Stay wet fundamental level. 3823 02:34:05,260 --> 02:34:09,050 The initial or first response 3824 02:34:09,050 --> 02:34:11,689 to that argument is that for S1, 3825 02:34:11,689 --> 02:34:15,065 S2, 7829, governance Louisville review 3826 02:34:15,065 --> 02:34:17,360 simply doesn't apply in this. 3827 02:34:17,360 --> 02:34:19,819 But the department took the position 3828 02:34:19,819 --> 02:34:21,874 I agree with the department. 3829 02:34:21,874 --> 02:34:24,289 And even an acknowledgement 3830 02:34:24,289 --> 02:34:29,169 deceiving pretty close. 3831 02:34:29,169 --> 02:34:29,874 Go ahead. 3832 02:34:29,874 --> 02:34:31,920 Go ahead, wrap up. 3833 02:34:33,430 --> 02:34:35,749 I agree with the department that even 3834 02:34:35,749 --> 02:34:37,564 in an Enforcement Order preceding, 3835 02:34:37,564 --> 02:34:41,330 you must address an ambiguous complaints. 3836 02:34:41,330 --> 02:34:43,039 And finally, lands regulation division, 3837 02:34:43,039 --> 02:34:45,055 as you frequently issue, 3838 02:34:45,055 --> 02:34:48,904 certainly that such an 3839 02:34:48,904 --> 02:34:51,125 ambiguous provision ought to be injured. 3840 02:34:51,125 --> 02:34:53,819 The goals and the staff. 3841 02:34:53,950 --> 02:34:56,120 The issue that I thought was 3842 02:34:56,120 --> 02:34:58,099 presented in proceeding when it 3843 02:34:58,099 --> 02:35:02,819 hit in a drastic and addressing it. 3844 02:35:04,480 --> 02:35:06,979 Essentially, if you included, 3845 02:35:06,979 --> 02:35:09,350 you have to have an ambiguity to 3846 02:35:09,350 --> 02:35:13,655 put arguments that you have, 3847 02:35:13,655 --> 02:35:14,894 that you have to interpret 3848 02:35:14,894 --> 02:35:16,279 it in a particular way. 3849 02:35:16,279 --> 02:35:17,554 There must be an ambiguity and 3850 02:35:17,554 --> 02:35:19,520 you would allow you to make 3851 02:35:19,520 --> 02:35:22,430 that interpretation applying the principle at 3852 02:35:22,430 --> 02:35:25,399 the Court of Appeals in that little mustache. 3853 02:35:25,399 --> 02:35:29,269 And my conclusion was 3854 02:35:29,269 --> 02:35:30,860 that there simply wasn't an ambiguity in 3855 02:35:30,860 --> 02:35:32,330 this comprehensive plan that 3856 02:35:32,330 --> 02:35:34,039 would allow you to make that interpretation 3857 02:35:34,039 --> 02:35:38,539 because goal related implemented policies 3858 02:35:38,539 --> 02:35:41,105 directly contrary to the interpretation, 3859 02:35:41,105 --> 02:35:45,694 confusion regarding even if you believe 3860 02:35:45,694 --> 02:35:47,150 the goal is obtain 3861 02:35:47,150 --> 02:35:48,799 the required current division 3862 02:35:48,799 --> 02:35:51,290 of urban services and all case. 3863 02:35:51,290 --> 02:35:53,210 I conclude in this section 3864 02:35:53,210 --> 02:35:55,099 the order that you couldn't read them 3865 02:35:55,099 --> 02:35:56,375 with blaming him because 3866 02:35:56,375 --> 02:35:57,770 the goal and the 3867 02:35:57,770 --> 02:35:59,869 implemented Gordon's our knowledge 3868 02:35:59,869 --> 02:36:06,980 and they provide a little more quickly 3869 02:36:06,980 --> 02:36:09,020 turned into the interpretation 3870 02:36:09,020 --> 02:36:11,189 Goal 11 and go for 3871 02:36:13,810 --> 02:36:16,879 the petitioner cited some land we can go in 3872 02:36:16,879 --> 02:36:19,745 and argue that based on that language, 3873 02:36:19,745 --> 02:36:22,939 concurrent provision of all urban level of 3874 02:36:22,939 --> 02:36:25,309 services provided the time 3875 02:36:25,309 --> 02:36:27,509 you approve them at all. 3876 02:36:29,290 --> 02:36:31,669 I noted that there is 3877 02:36:31,669 --> 02:36:33,635 at least one case 3878 02:36:33,635 --> 02:36:38,000 where the city had adopted that approach. 3879 02:36:38,000 --> 02:36:42,740 And that's the Act required. 3880 02:36:42,740 --> 02:36:44,105 The currency has standards that are 3881 02:36:44,105 --> 02:36:46,669 required to be available, 3882 02:36:46,669 --> 02:36:51,389 provided with development committed prior to. 3883 02:36:53,650 --> 02:36:55,925 But I also noted that 3884 02:36:55,925 --> 02:36:58,099 beginning on page 29 and goal, 3885 02:36:58,099 --> 02:36:59,240 that is other language that 3886 02:36:59,240 --> 02:37:01,205 makes it reasonably clear. 3887 02:37:01,205 --> 02:37:05,015 Standard, more subjective, standard. 3888 02:37:05,015 --> 02:37:06,440 Wire the time, 3889 02:37:06,440 --> 02:37:09,030 the orderly, inefficient arrangement. 3890 02:37:10,240 --> 02:37:16,160 Language does not require based on language, 3891 02:37:16,160 --> 02:37:19,070 I tend to go on and require that there be 3892 02:37:19,070 --> 02:37:20,239 concurrent provision 3893 02:37:20,239 --> 02:37:24,019 of services in all cases. 3894 02:37:24,019 --> 02:37:26,849 There's more flexibility. 3895 02:37:29,950 --> 02:37:34,849 And begin on page three, 3896 02:37:34,849 --> 02:37:35,899 I dressed as a similar 3897 02:37:35,899 --> 02:37:41,209 argument there that there's nothing 3898 02:37:41,209 --> 02:37:44,074 and go 14 requires 3899 02:37:44,074 --> 02:37:46,430 the full range of services 3900 02:37:46,430 --> 02:37:48,660 to be provided before you, 3901 02:37:50,560 --> 02:37:54,500 literally a quick trip through the border. 3902 02:37:54,500 --> 02:37:57,840 But during that time, 3903 02:38:00,430 --> 02:38:02,779 the petitioner contraceptions, 3904 02:38:02,779 --> 02:38:05,030 as I indicated in the department, 3905 02:38:05,030 --> 02:38:08,210 based on the procedure that was laid out, 3906 02:38:08,210 --> 02:38:11,749 the parties shouldn't be I'll give 3907 02:38:11,749 --> 02:38:15,560 them an opportunity to be exceptions to you. 3908 02:38:15,560 --> 02:38:17,119 I'm available for questions now. 3909 02:38:17,119 --> 02:38:21,919 If you have the 3910 02:38:21,919 --> 02:38:25,020 petitioner reserve some time for them, 3911 02:38:26,710 --> 02:38:30,799 why don't we unless people have a burning, 3912 02:38:30,799 --> 02:38:32,510 need to ask a question while we try and 3913 02:38:32,510 --> 02:38:34,459 hold questions until we get here, 3914 02:38:34,459 --> 02:38:36,479 but everybody and then we can 3915 02:38:38,560 --> 02:38:41,495 get quite a bit of testimony it take okay. 3916 02:38:41,495 --> 02:38:42,484 Well, wait. 3917 02:38:42,484 --> 02:38:48,110 Somebody next person who 3918 02:38:48,110 --> 02:38:49,789 would speak to us would be Steve. 3919 02:38:49,789 --> 02:38:52,144 Do I understand you're going to 3920 02:38:52,144 --> 02:38:55,474 reserve five-minutes of your 20 for rebuttal. 3921 02:38:55,474 --> 02:38:57,319 Since I gave him a couple of extra minutes, 3922 02:38:57,319 --> 02:38:59,639 you'll have a few extra minutes to. 3923 02:39:12,010 --> 02:39:17,689 So honorable commissioners. Of course, 3924 02:39:17,689 --> 02:39:19,160 I was disappointed with 3925 02:39:19,160 --> 02:39:23,779 the hearings officers proposed order 3926 02:39:23,779 --> 02:39:29,030 because it seems to me that it's 3927 02:39:29,030 --> 02:39:32,044 not going to get city services 3928 02:39:32,044 --> 02:39:35,030 put into the urbanizing area. 3929 02:39:35,030 --> 02:39:38,359 And it's been a long process 3930 02:39:38,359 --> 02:39:40,414 and a very costly process. 3931 02:39:40,414 --> 02:39:43,279 County estimated $20,000. 3932 02:39:43,279 --> 02:39:45,020 It's been thousands of dollars of 3933 02:39:45,020 --> 02:39:49,409 my my own personal money and time. 3934 02:39:51,730 --> 02:39:55,370 And perhaps I attack 3935 02:39:55,370 --> 02:39:57,710 the wrong, the wrong target. 3936 02:39:57,710 --> 02:40:01,520 In this case, I saw that the city 3937 02:40:01,520 --> 02:40:03,830 was being created and 3938 02:40:03,830 --> 02:40:05,449 it wasn't being provided services. 3939 02:40:05,449 --> 02:40:08,119 And somehow I didn't think that that could 3940 02:40:08,119 --> 02:40:09,229 happen and it certainly 3941 02:40:09,229 --> 02:40:11,435 wouldn't be legally sanctioned. 3942 02:40:11,435 --> 02:40:14,150 But I have great respect for 3943 02:40:14,150 --> 02:40:16,580 the hearings officers opinion. 3944 02:40:16,580 --> 02:40:18,350 And I think that 3945 02:40:18,350 --> 02:40:20,730 I think that it was sanctioned. 3946 02:40:23,230 --> 02:40:26,269 I think Josephine County has followed 3947 02:40:26,269 --> 02:40:28,489 its comprehensive plan, has followed. 3948 02:40:28,489 --> 02:40:29,929 It's what I call 3949 02:40:29,929 --> 02:40:32,600 so-called implementing, for instance. 3950 02:40:32,600 --> 02:40:38,000 And has allowed property 3951 02:40:38,000 --> 02:40:39,529 within the urbanizing area to be 3952 02:40:39,529 --> 02:40:43,110 developed according to its standard. 3953 02:40:43,930 --> 02:40:47,630 I don t feel how I still feel, 3954 02:40:47,630 --> 02:40:51,095 however, that the city should be serviced. 3955 02:40:51,095 --> 02:40:52,714 It's going to be created. 3956 02:40:52,714 --> 02:40:57,049 And the LCD and it's brief, 3957 02:40:57,049 --> 02:40:59,000 stated that services did 3958 02:40:59,000 --> 02:41:00,079 not have to be provided 3959 02:41:00,079 --> 02:41:01,519 either before or even 3960 02:41:01,519 --> 02:41:04,025 concurrently with development. 3961 02:41:04,025 --> 02:41:05,929 So to me, that means there's 3962 02:41:05,929 --> 02:41:07,220 only one other possibility 3963 02:41:07,220 --> 02:41:08,930 that services well, 3964 02:41:08,930 --> 02:41:10,159 first of all, services maybe wouldn't 3965 02:41:10,159 --> 02:41:11,600 have to write it at all. 3966 02:41:11,600 --> 02:41:12,590 But if they do have to be 3967 02:41:12,590 --> 02:41:13,820 provided and they don't have to be 3968 02:41:13,820 --> 02:41:16,160 provided either concurrently or before. 3969 02:41:16,160 --> 02:41:18,499 Then they'd be provided afterwards. 3970 02:41:18,499 --> 02:41:20,720 And by that prescription, 3971 02:41:20,720 --> 02:41:22,460 Josephine County has done 3972 02:41:22,460 --> 02:41:23,809 everything it should do. 3973 02:41:23,809 --> 02:41:25,849 It It's been 13 years 3974 02:41:25,849 --> 02:41:27,484 since the plan was acknowledged. 3975 02:41:27,484 --> 02:41:29,240 Lots of development is taking place. 3976 02:41:29,240 --> 02:41:31,309 If you look carefully around those red dots, 3977 02:41:31,309 --> 02:41:33,079 you will see that the urbanizing areas 3978 02:41:33,079 --> 02:41:34,295 then approximately half, 3979 02:41:34,295 --> 02:41:38,280 50% filled with urban development. 3980 02:41:38,890 --> 02:41:43,070 A key services have not been provided. 3981 02:41:43,070 --> 02:41:45,350 Here are a few key urban 3982 02:41:45,350 --> 02:41:47,780 levels of services have not been provided. 3983 02:41:47,780 --> 02:41:50,810 But according to the LCD 3984 02:41:50,810 --> 02:41:51,829 that there's nothing wrong 3985 02:41:51,829 --> 02:41:53,840 with that because services 3986 02:41:53,840 --> 02:41:55,700 can be provided after development. 3987 02:41:55,700 --> 02:41:57,199 Well, here it's 13 years 3988 02:41:57,199 --> 02:41:59,735 after services have been provided yet. 3989 02:41:59,735 --> 02:42:01,549 Maybe in another 13 years, 3990 02:42:01,549 --> 02:42:02,390 the area will be 3991 02:42:02,390 --> 02:42:04,129 completely filled with development. 3992 02:42:04,129 --> 02:42:07,415 But still, there is no time limit on after. 3993 02:42:07,415 --> 02:42:10,670 And according to I saw nothing in DLC, 3994 02:42:10,670 --> 02:42:14,165 these brief that put a time limit on it. 3995 02:42:14,165 --> 02:42:17,270 The time limit I saw in Goal 11. 3996 02:42:17,270 --> 02:42:22,220 Was that services have to be 3997 02:42:22,220 --> 02:42:29,219 provided to guide and support development. 3998 02:42:29,500 --> 02:42:32,480 In dosing counties plans 3999 02:42:32,480 --> 02:42:34,534 incarnation of Goal 11. 4000 02:42:34,534 --> 02:42:36,530 It said that the services 4001 02:42:36,530 --> 02:42:37,894 have to be provided in 4002 02:42:37,894 --> 02:42:45,050 a way which forgotten the exact language, 4003 02:42:45,050 --> 02:42:49,984 but not as a framework. 4004 02:42:49,984 --> 02:42:51,560 I mean, the goal 11 says as 4005 02:42:51,560 --> 02:42:53,974 a framework but similar, similar to that. 4006 02:42:53,974 --> 02:42:55,849 Basically the development is 4007 02:42:55,849 --> 02:42:58,235 guided by by services, 4008 02:42:58,235 --> 02:42:59,824 not the other way round. 4009 02:42:59,824 --> 02:43:01,970 But if services aren't provided 4010 02:43:01,970 --> 02:43:03,560 than in-house development 4011 02:43:03,560 --> 02:43:04,970 going to be guided by it. 4012 02:43:04,970 --> 02:43:10,729 And apparently, the golf seven says 4013 02:43:10,729 --> 02:43:17,600 that the implementing ordinances, 4014 02:43:17,600 --> 02:43:20,520 Josephine counties implementing ordinances, 4015 02:43:20,710 --> 02:43:25,429 say that services have to be provided when 4016 02:43:25,429 --> 02:43:28,219 the citizens request them 4017 02:43:28,219 --> 02:43:32,045 and when there's financing for them. 4018 02:43:32,045 --> 02:43:35,000 But that doesn't provide for 4019 02:43:35,000 --> 02:43:38,465 the economic inefficient way that services, 4020 02:43:38,465 --> 02:43:39,979 that development is supposed to 4021 02:43:39,979 --> 02:43:42,650 proceed, proceed from services. 4022 02:43:42,650 --> 02:43:47,000 And also services need never be provided 4023 02:43:47,000 --> 02:43:48,770 if they have to wait for citizens to 4024 02:43:48,770 --> 02:43:51,515 request for financing to become available. 4025 02:43:51,515 --> 02:43:55,910 And I just can't believe that Goal 11, 4026 02:43:55,910 --> 02:44:00,604 which I guess if you created, 4027 02:44:00,604 --> 02:44:02,389 it would allow for a city to be 4028 02:44:02,389 --> 02:44:04,684 created without without services. 4029 02:44:04,684 --> 02:44:07,520 At urban services. 4030 02:44:07,520 --> 02:44:10,625 Namely municipal water, 4031 02:44:10,625 --> 02:44:14,194 police protection, fire protection. 4032 02:44:14,194 --> 02:44:17,824 Streets with sidewalks and urban streets, 4033 02:44:17,824 --> 02:44:21,785 drainage, the parks and 4034 02:44:21,785 --> 02:44:24,020 recreation facilities and open space. 4035 02:44:24,020 --> 02:44:25,370 I just can't believe 4036 02:44:25,370 --> 02:44:27,649 that a state like Oregon would 4037 02:44:27,649 --> 02:44:30,140 allow would 4038 02:44:30,140 --> 02:44:33,890 sanction the cities without without services. 4039 02:44:33,890 --> 02:44:34,819 I thought that if 4040 02:44:34,819 --> 02:44:35,929 cities are going to be created, 4041 02:44:35,929 --> 02:44:36,709 they have to be created 4042 02:44:36,709 --> 02:44:38,194 within urban growth boundary, 4043 02:44:38,194 --> 02:44:41,090 but they also work to be serviced. 4044 02:44:41,090 --> 02:44:43,429 Dlc D appears to 4045 02:44:43,429 --> 02:44:45,110 be saying and it's brief that they don't 4046 02:44:45,110 --> 02:44:46,729 have to be serviced because 4047 02:44:46,729 --> 02:44:48,455 services can be provided after, 4048 02:44:48,455 --> 02:44:51,260 after development and after. 4049 02:44:51,260 --> 02:44:54,300 There's no time limit on after. 4050 02:44:54,460 --> 02:45:00,619 So I am disappointed with this this process, 4051 02:45:00,619 --> 02:45:03,364 but I think that it was conducted fairly 4052 02:45:03,364 --> 02:45:06,439 and I'm quite happy 4053 02:45:06,439 --> 02:45:10,865 with the hearings officers findings. 4054 02:45:10,865 --> 02:45:15,755 I do think though that period 4055 02:45:15,755 --> 02:45:17,449 that I would hope that 4056 02:45:17,449 --> 02:45:20,209 the commission finds that it did not mean 4057 02:45:20,209 --> 02:45:21,889 for Goal 11 to allow 4058 02:45:21,889 --> 02:45:24,094 cities to be created without services, 4059 02:45:24,094 --> 02:45:26,285 and that it would direct 4060 02:45:26,285 --> 02:45:30,289 DLC D2 through periodic review, I guess, 4061 02:45:30,289 --> 02:45:34,079 to force the county too, 4062 02:45:35,740 --> 02:45:40,760 to change its implementing ordinances 4063 02:45:40,760 --> 02:45:42,064 so that they do indeed 4064 02:45:42,064 --> 02:45:43,040 implement the goal if 4065 02:45:43,040 --> 02:45:43,849 they are supposed to be, 4066 02:45:43,849 --> 02:45:45,650 that they are designed to implement. 4067 02:45:45,650 --> 02:45:47,134 Because as it stands right now, 4068 02:45:47,134 --> 02:45:49,895 the the goal goal seven 4069 02:45:49,895 --> 02:45:51,409 is not implemented by 4070 02:45:51,409 --> 02:45:53,825 its implementing ordinances. 4071 02:45:53,825 --> 02:45:55,805 That in name only. 4072 02:45:55,805 --> 02:46:00,390 As I've said, an exception document. 4073 02:46:06,730 --> 02:46:09,350 The hearing officer said that there is 4074 02:46:09,350 --> 02:46:12,110 no ambiguity ambiguity ambiguity 4075 02:46:12,110 --> 02:46:16,145 in that the for the 4076 02:46:16,145 --> 02:46:17,749 for the county to make 4077 02:46:17,749 --> 02:46:21,379 an a erroneous interpretation. 4078 02:46:22,270 --> 02:46:25,040 The County's rules clearly 4079 02:46:25,040 --> 02:46:27,409 state that services don't have to be 4080 02:46:27,409 --> 02:46:30,110 provided until the city until the citizens 4081 02:46:30,110 --> 02:46:31,429 request to my report and 4082 02:46:31,429 --> 02:46:33,965 until financing is available. 4083 02:46:33,965 --> 02:46:36,980 That, however, is a prescription 4084 02:46:36,980 --> 02:46:39,395 for not getting services at all. 4085 02:46:39,395 --> 02:46:44,570 And I just would hope 4086 02:46:44,570 --> 02:46:46,550 that you would somehow 4087 02:46:46,550 --> 02:46:48,769 correct the misapprehension that 4088 02:46:48,769 --> 02:46:50,179

authority of 4235 02:54:43,279 --> 02:54:45,635 the commission in the context 4236 02:54:45,635 --> 02:54:47,870 of an enforcement proceeding. 4237 02:54:47,870 --> 02:54:50,720 This is an issue that has not been 4238 02:54:50,720 --> 02:54:54,409 litigated in the courts at this time. 4239 02:54:54,409 --> 02:54:57,650 The hearing officer's order 4240 02:54:57,650 --> 02:55:00,770 essentially sets out a framework 4241 02:55:00,770 --> 02:55:03,964 that applies the same limitations 4242 02:55:03,964 --> 02:55:05,750 to the commission that had 4243 02:55:05,750 --> 02:55:07,595 been applied to Luba. 4244 02:55:07,595 --> 02:55:10,610 In the context of its review of 4245 02:55:10,610 --> 02:55:14,885 local interpretations, Local Code provisions, 4246 02:55:14,885 --> 02:55:17,059 It's the department's recommendation 4247 02:55:17,059 --> 02:55:18,799 that since this issue has not yet 4248 02:55:18,799 --> 02:55:20,900 been litigated in this portion 4249 02:55:20,900 --> 02:55:22,670 of the order is not necessary to 4250 02:55:22,670 --> 02:55:24,350 the decision that the 4251 02:55:24,350 --> 02:55:26,270 commission strike this portion of 4252 02:55:26,270 --> 02:55:27,890 the proposed order and not 4253 02:55:27,890 --> 02:55:31,200 included in the adopted final order. 4254 02:55:39,760 --> 02:55:42,050 And just to go into 4255 02:55:42,050 --> 02:55:44,420 a little bit of the reasoning on that, 4256 02:55:44,420 --> 02:55:47,824 there are specific statutes limiting 4257 02:55:47,824 --> 02:55:51,394 lupus authority to interpret, 4258 02:55:51,394 --> 02:55:54,004 local code and plan provisions. 4259 02:55:54,004 --> 02:55:56,689 There's also a series of court cases, 4260 02:55:56,689 --> 02:55:59,420 the most famous of which is the Clark case, 4261 02:55:59,420 --> 02:56:01,925 which again only apply to Luba. 4262 02:56:01,925 --> 02:56:04,715 There are no similar statutes or 4263 02:56:04,715 --> 02:56:06,739 court cases applying to 4264 02:56:06,739 --> 02:56:08,150 the Commission in the context 4265 02:56:08,150 --> 02:56:10,440 of an enforcement proceeding. 4266 02:56:15,850 --> 02:56:19,669 The second exception that I want to 4267 02:56:19,669 --> 02:56:23,659 touch on real briefly is on page 28, 4268 02:56:23,659 --> 02:56:26,749 lines 18 through 25, 4269 02:56:26,749 --> 02:56:29,400 again proposed for deletion. 4270 02:56:30,670 --> 02:56:32,944 And related to that, 4271 02:56:32,944 --> 02:56:34,940 there are some deletions proposed 4272 02:56:34,940 --> 02:56:38,810 an exception number seven on page 29. 4273 02:56:38,810 --> 02:56:43,684 All of these exceptions 6.7, 4274 02:56:43,684 --> 02:56:47,960 deal with the commission's interpretation 4275 02:56:47,960 --> 02:56:52,230 of Goal 11 and what it requires a localities. 4276 02:56:54,100 --> 02:56:58,505 The language suggests a fairly high degree 4277 02:56:58,505 --> 02:57:00,964 of flexibility on the part 4278 02:57:00,964 --> 02:57:03,499 of local governments as to 4279 02:57:03,499 --> 02:57:05,240 when they have to 4280 02:57:05,240 --> 02:57:08,939 provide public facilities and services. 4281 02:57:09,700 --> 02:57:11,930 Again, in this case, 4282 02:57:11,930 --> 02:57:14,270 since the hearing officer 4283 02:57:14,270 --> 02:57:15,800 is concluded in the department 4284 02:57:15,800 --> 02:57:17,270 recommends that the Commission 4285 02:57:17,270 --> 02:57:18,979 also conclude that there's 4286 02:57:18,979 --> 02:57:20,330 no ambiguity in 4287 02:57:20,330 --> 02:57:23,180 the local code provisions that you again, 4288 02:57:23,180 --> 02:57:24,560 not reached the issue of 4289 02:57:24,560 --> 02:57:26,750 exactly how much flexibility 4290 02:57:26,750 --> 02:57:28,700 is allowed under Goal 11, 4291 02:57:28,700 --> 02:57:30,350 and leave that issue to 4292 02:57:30,350 --> 02:57:31,670 a subsequent case that 4293 02:57:31,670 --> 02:57:33,964 presents that issue squarely. 4294 02:57:33,964 --> 02:57:35,930 So those are those are 4295 02:57:35,930 --> 02:57:37,805 the departments proposed exceptions. 4296 02:57:37,805 --> 02:57:40,350 I'd be happy to take any questions. 4297 02:57:46,920 --> 02:57:50,170 We'll take petitioners final rebuttal. 4298 02:57:50,170 --> 02:57:51,580 Then. We will 4299 02:57:51,580 --> 02:57:54,080 have questions and deliberation. 4300 02:57:54,360 --> 02:57:56,589 Got all 12 min. Do you want to 4301 02:57:56,589 --> 02:58:05,980 take it all again? 4302 02:58:05,980 --> 02:58:07,044 Thank you. 4303 02:58:07,044 --> 02:58:17,589 Respond.

John Kelly. 5048 03:30:10,499 --> 03:30:11,699 I'm just going to run out of town 5049 03:30:11,699 --> 03:30:13,170 on a rail for 5050 03:30:13,170 --> 03:30:15,270 his As idea of 5051 03:30:15,270 --> 03:30:17,985 focused public investments, opera. 5052 03:30:17,985 --> 03:30:19,290 But an orderly development to 5053 03:30:19,290 --> 03:30:20,640 me is mean that you've got 5054 03:30:20,640 --> 03:30:21,959 a sewer that you've got if 5055 03:30:21,959 --> 03:30:23,340 you've got a development all here, 5056 03:30:23,340 --> 03:30:24,615 you've got to run the sewer to it. 5057 03:30:24,615 --> 03:30:25,875 You may have to run it. 5058 03:30:25,875 --> 03:30:28,139 Maybe you need to put that on the guy who's 5059 03:30:28,139 --> 03:30:29,880 developing also the road 5060 03:30:29,880 --> 03:30:31,140 now, obviously down there, 5061 03:30:31,140 --> 03:30:33,509 they didn't even tie in the roads that are in 5062 03:30:33,509 --> 03:30:36,809 the subdivision back with the city. 5063 03:30:36,809 --> 03:30:38,279 It seems to me things like that, 5064 03:30:38,279 --> 03:30:40,889 orderly development which in 5065 03:30:40,889 --> 03:30:43,740 the future should do that. 5066 03:30:43,740 --> 03:30:45,074 So I think there are some things 5067 03:30:45,074 --> 03:30:46,650 that you might refer to, 5068 03:30:46,650 --> 03:30:48,119 things that you should 5069 03:30:48,119 --> 03:30:49,709 know and maybe noticed already, 5070 03:30:49,709 --> 03:30:51,779 negotiations are currently going on 5071 03:30:51,779 --> 03:30:55,785 between brands pads and Josephine County. 5072 03:30:55,785 --> 03:30:58,679 Similar to negotiations that have gone on 5073 03:30:58,679 --> 03:31:00,524 between counties and cities 5074 03:31:00,524 --> 03:31:01,710 probably for a long time, 5075 03:31:01,710 --> 03:31:02,909 but spurred by 5076 03:31:02,909 --> 03:31:05,115 the passage of Senate Bill 122, 5077 03:31:05,115 --> 03:31:08,130 where the legislature directed 5078 03:31:08,130 --> 03:31:09,360 city to Kennedy to come to 5079 03:31:09,360 --> 03:31:10,560 agreement about provision of 5080 03:31:10,560 --> 03:31:12,599 urban services inside or the movement in 5081 03:31:12,599 --> 03:31:14,790 those negotiations were helping 5082 03:31:14,790 --> 03:31:17,415 to pay for the patient. 5083 03:31:17,415 --> 03:31:21,360 And for a time they were going very well. 5084 03:31:21,360 --> 03:31:23,640 At least those were the reports coming back. 5085 03:31:23,640 --> 03:31:27,720 I don't have the latest up-to-date 5086 03:31:27,720 --> 03:31:28,890 report on how they're going, 5087 03:31:28,890 --> 03:31:30,119 but they could potentially 5088 03:31:30,119 --> 03:31:32,520 resolve the question of who 5089 03:31:32,520 --> 03:31:34,320 provide services and in questions of 5090 03:31:34,320 --> 03:31:37,449 timing of provision of services. 5091 03:31:37,750 --> 03:31:41,645 Some communities are tackling 5092 03:31:41,645 --> 03:31:44,509 this set of issues and they're on their 5093 03:31:44,509 --> 03:31:46,774 own without direction from 5094 03:31:46,774 --> 03:31:49,789 this commission are addressing 5095 03:31:49,789 --> 03:31:53,369 the provision of urban services inside. 5096 03:31:54,460 --> 03:31:56,660 And we spent a lot of 5097 03:31:56,660 --> 03:31:59,255 our transportation and goes management 5098 03:31:59,255 --> 03:32:01,339 dollars to address this 5099 03:32:01,339 --> 03:32:02,540 and to help local government to 5100 03:32:02,540 --> 03:32:06,779 address it in a variety of ways. 5101 03:32:07,000 --> 03:32:09,949 But we have not, you have 5102 03:32:09,949 --> 03:32:13,699 not adopted a currency requirement. 5103 03:32:13,699 --> 03:32:14,930 You really haven't gone 5104 03:32:14,930 --> 03:32:17,609 very far down the path to do that. 5105 03:32:20,240 --> 03:32:22,844 And if you think about it, 5106 03:32:22,844 --> 03:32:26,760 if you're thinking HIPAA, scratch your head. 5107 03:32:26,760 --> 03:32:28,649 Financing mechanisms, but they 5108 03:32:28,649 --> 03:32:30,554 lead to local government. 5109 03:32:30,554 --> 03:32:31,559 I was wondering if 5110 03:32:31,559 --> 03:32:32,849 the homebuilding as you rise and fall. 5111 03:32:32,849 --> 03:32:34,079 But Chairman, I suggest that 5112 03:32:34,079 --> 03:32:35,369 maybe they ought to be paying 5113 03:32:35,369 --> 03:32:36,239 for some of the things 5114 03:32:36,239 --> 03:32:37,740 that they really should have 5115 03:32:37,740 --> 03:32:41,040 their chair more and 5116 03:32:41,040 --> 03:32:43,200 more as a systems development charges 5117 03:32:43,200 --> 03:32:45,610 getting higher and higher. 5118 03:32:47,300 --> 03:32:49,859 I can't remember which document, 5119 03:32:49,859 --> 03:32:51,089 but we've dealt with this issue 5120 03:32:51,089 --> 03:32:52,650 locally and I could life of me, 5121 03:32:52,650 --> 03:32:54,989 I can't remember which document we 5122 03:32:54,989 --> 03:32:57,539 did it in some agreement between the city 5123 03:32:57,539 --> 03:33:00,629 and county on this development 5124 03:33:00,629 --> 03:33:03,615 and essentially here in Salem. 5125 03:33:03,615 --> 03:33:06,360 If it's outside the service district, 5126 03:33:06,360 --> 03:33:09,375 can we have one in the Salem area? 5127 03:33:09,375 --> 03:33:11,370 It doesn't develop unless 5128 03:33:11,370 --> 03:33:14,129 the city is ready to provide the services. 5129 03:33:14,129 --> 03:33:16,919 And Andy, it's annex to the city. 5130 03:33:16,919 --> 03:33:19,410 I should say that when you were looking at 5131 03:33:19,410 --> 03:33:21,600 the goal 14 work program, 5132 03:33:21,600 --> 03:33:22,680 if you remember, they were 5133 03:33:22,680 --> 03:33:24,419 the two issues that we've highlighted. 5134 03:33:24,419 --> 03:33:26,039 One was population 5135 03:33:26,039 --> 03:33:27,449 coordination and allocation, 5136 03:33:27,449 --> 03:33:29,250 and the other was urban design 5137 03:33:29,250 --> 03:33:30,450 and so on and so forth. 5138 03:33:30,450 --> 03:33:32,639 We have thought of that topic 5139 03:33:32,639 --> 03:33:34,874 is large enough to 5140 03:33:34,874 --> 03:33:37,664 embrace questions of the timing 5141 03:33:37,664 --> 03:33:38,790 of the provision of 5142 03:33:38,790 --> 03:33:40,090 public facilities and services. 5143 03:33:40,090 --> 03:33:43,139 So we will have a process 5144 03:33:43,139 --> 03:33:46,575 underway which you can 5145 03:33:46,575 --> 03:33:49,440 get to that set of issues. 5146 03:33:49,440 --> 03:33:52,690 We don't have a solution yet. 5147 03:33:53,120 --> 03:33:55,740 Debate, I never saw myself on where 5148 03:33:55,740 --> 03:33:58,229 this goes. This way. 5149 03:33:58,229 --> 03:34:01,019 My argument myself, the one hand, 5150 03:34:01,019 --> 03:34:03,435 the folks living out in this area, 5151 03:34:03,435 --> 03:34:06,269 there, taxes are probably considerably 5152 03:34:06,269 --> 03:34:09,090 lower than they would 5153 03:34:09,090 --> 03:34:10,455 be if you live in Grants Pass. 5154 03:34:10,455 --> 03:34:11,759 And a lot of that's due to the fact 5155 03:34:11,759 --> 03:34:13,350 that they aren't getting the services. 5156 03:34:13,350 --> 03:34:16,360 But if they don't want the services, 5157 03:34:17,390 --> 03:34:19,619 shouldn't feel I'd be the one to tell 5158 03:34:19,619 --> 03:34:23,084 them what happened. Hello. 5159 03:34:23,084 --> 03:34:25,919 I'm driving in and using Grant's path. Okay. 5160 03:34:25,919 --> 03:34:28,845 Then the other hand, I argue 5161 03:34:28,845 --> 03:34:31,529 for this brown jelly 5162 03:34:31,529 --> 03:34:33,944 or property I bought, sit on your shoulder. 5163 03:34:33,944 --> 03:34:37,110 The other one says, 5164 03:34:37,110 --> 03:34:39,029 these people are probably 5165 03:34:39,029 --> 03:34:40,290 using the services of 5166 03:34:40,290 --> 03:34:43,079 the city and not 5167 03:34:43,079 --> 03:34:44,924 paying for them. Is that fair? 5168 03:34:44,924 --> 03:34:47,050 No, that's not fair either. 5169 03:34:47,930 --> 03:34:50,219 So I pardon? 5170 03:34:50,219 --> 03:34:55,259 Board is and what isn't 5171 03:34:55,259 --> 03:34:56,789 the primary issue in 5172 03:34:56,789 --> 03:34:58,139 the absence of urban levels 5173 03:34:58,139 --> 03:34:59,280 observed as equals and 5174 03:34:59,280 --> 03:35:01,174 inefficient use of verbalizable way. 5175 03:35:01,174 --> 03:35:02,790 And the larger the 5176 03:35:02,790 --> 03:35:04,709 growth boundary then we need to add. 5177 03:35:04,709 --> 03:35:06,614 Management is not necessarily 5178 03:35:06,614 --> 03:35:08,130 because you look at East Baltimore County, 5179 03:35:08,130 --> 03:35:09,300 which you know very well. 5180 03:35:09,300 --> 03:35:11,564 Those are all 5,000 square foot lines. 5181 03:35:11,564 --> 03:35:13,320 Very efficient use of labor. 5182 03:35:13,320 --> 03:35:14,279 Well, I suspect the number 5183 03:35:14,279 --> 03:35:15,419 were undeveloped bubble because you 5184 03:35:15,419 --> 03:35:17,730 can't get a Perkins to know. 5185 03:35:17,730 --> 03:35:19,890 But there we put sewer in and so forth now. 5186 03:35:19,890 --> 03:35:21,660 Yeah.

That's fine as well. 5190 03:35:25,080 --> 03:35:26,370 I've thought that the next mid 5191 03:35:26,370 --> 03:35:27,960 County Sewer project exactly. 5192 03:35:27,960 --> 03:35:30,630 I don't know what size 5193 03:35:30,630 --> 03:35:32,070 velocities are developing yet, 5194 03:35:32,070 --> 03:35:35,699 but probably like Dunbar 5195 03:35:35,699 --> 03:35:37,870 for cephalic or smaller. 5196 03:35:38,030 --> 03:35:40,259 But then you get down there and maybe 5197 03:35:40,259 --> 03:35:41,610 the areas could be sold 5198 03:35:41,610 --> 03:35:42,915 for single-family with 5199 03:35:42,915 --> 03:35:45,060 an on-site except here. 5200 03:35:45,060 --> 03:35:47,070 Maybe if you had urban levels 5201 03:35:47,070 --> 03:35:48,360 of services to you could 5202 03:35:48,360 --> 03:35:50,940 come in with mid-rise. 5203 03:35:50,940 --> 03:35:54,794 And it just seems to me the only 5204 03:35:54,794 --> 03:35:55,799 but one of 5205 03:35:55,799 --> 03:35:57,479 the most compelling arguments that I've ever 5206 03:35:57,479 --> 03:35:59,939 seen for concurrency in my mind right now. 5207 03:35:59,939 --> 03:36:02,759 Doesn't that avoiding negative isn't as 5208 03:36:02,759 --> 03:36:05,159 urban form from serious 5209 03:36:05,159 --> 03:36:06,239 about them and it'll come 5210 03:36:06,239 --> 03:36:08,264 out within 14 worked for. 5211 03:36:08,264 --> 03:36:10,260 One of the things that will come out of 5212 03:36:10,260 --> 03:36:11,759 that will be if we have guidance 5213 03:36:11,759 --> 03:36:12,840 is we're reporting to 5214 03:36:12,840 --> 03:36:14,010 give local governments on 5215 03:36:14,010 --> 03:36:17,370 urban form enhanced potential. 5216 03:36:17,370 --> 03:36:18,780 Somewhere in there is going to be 5217 03:36:18,780 --> 03:36:19,949 a facilities analysis, 5218 03:36:19,949 --> 03:36:22,724 but they can get what they are. 5219 03:36:22,724 --> 03:36:25,800 I've debated is whether we shouldn't give 5220 03:36:25,800 --> 03:36:28,530 cities kinda veto power 5221 03:36:28,530 --> 03:36:30,989 over that kind of thing happening. 5222 03:36:30,989 --> 03:36:36,315 And maybe the safe harbor is your vision. 5223 03:36:36,315 --> 03:36:40,349 No development unless there's annexation and 5224 03:36:40,349 --> 03:36:44,730 certainly you don't want to do that, 5225 03:36:44,730 --> 03:36:46,739 then there has to be some quid pro quo. 5226 03:36:46,739 --> 03:36:48,854 Would the city where there's 5227 03:36:48,854 --> 03:36:50,190 adequate payments with city of 5228 03:36:50,190 --> 03:36:52,290 whatever services it's providing. 5229 03:36:52,290 --> 03:36:56,800 Such as shopping centers. 5230 03:36:57,290 --> 03:36:59,700 The county government is probably an 5231 03:36:59,700 --> 03:37:01,889 acidic not they make connections 5232 03:37:01,889 --> 03:37:05,670 for delay that Act 5233 03:37:05,670 --> 03:37:08,049 section one of the tools you use. 5234 03:37:08,600 --> 03:37:10,919 I'm fine. 5235 03:37:10,919 --> 03:37:12,900 Of course, annexation by 5236 03:37:12,900 --> 03:37:14,325 boat was one of the other tools 5237 03:37:14,325 --> 03:37:16,169 designed to basically pulled to the back of 5238 03:37:16,169 --> 03:37:18,969 the moratorium because of that situation. 5239 03:37:21,440 --> 03:37:24,160 It's a tough week. 5240 03:37:24,200 --> 03:37:27,059 We've been at a number of years ago. 5241 03:37:27,059 --> 03:37:30,000 Think that most of the Bastille had 5242 03:37:30,000 --> 03:37:33,090 my Hannah city urban 5243 03:37:33,090 --> 03:37:34,410 service agreements that have 5244 03:37:34,410 --> 03:37:36,569 followed on the heels of the one-twenty 5245 03:37:36,569 --> 03:37:39,210 to answer those questions, 5246 03:37:39,210 --> 03:37:42,270 they talk about which services and 5247 03:37:42,270 --> 03:37:43,859 when it essentially they 5248 03:37:43,859 --> 03:37:46,754 give either party to the agreement. 5249 03:37:46,754 --> 03:37:48,644 Some sort of say. 5250 03:37:48,644 --> 03:37:51,340 And when development happen, 5251 03:37:52,300 --> 03:37:55,549 it would be wonderful if every city 5252 03:37:55,549 --> 03:37:57,590 and county to have such an agreement, 5253 03:37:57,590 --> 03:37:59,930 but particularly if you 5254 03:37:59,930 --> 03:38:02,959 have more than one service districts involved 5255 03:38:02,959 --> 03:38:04,729 in negotiations are very beginning 5256 03:38:04,729 --> 03:38:08,555 is they take a lot of unwanted energy. 5257 03:38:08,555 --> 03:38:09,979 And I don't know if you remember during 5258 03:38:09,979 --> 03:38:11,209 the testimony about 5259 03:38:11,209 --> 03:38:13,969 the urban growth management package 5260 03:38:13,969 --> 03:38:15,620 of recommendations that came in, 5261 03:38:15,620 --> 03:38:17,120 you got a lot of testimony 5262 03:38:17,120 --> 03:38:19,880 about if you want 5263 03:38:19,880 --> 03:38:22,490 these Senate Bill 122 agreements, 5264 03:38:22,490 --> 03:38:24,320 you better give us some grant money is 5265 03:38:24,320 --> 03:38:26,809 because it's really tiny. 5266 03:38:26,809 --> 03:38:28,459 I remember Bob Stacey was 5267 03:38:28,459 --> 03:38:30,574 planning director of the City of Portland 5268 03:38:30,574 --> 03:38:32,959 coming forward and they had 5269 03:38:32,959 --> 03:38:35,189 a Dickey counted scores 5270 03:38:35,189 --> 03:38:38,279 and scores of districts 5271 03:38:38,279 --> 03:38:40,545 that he was going to have to negotiate with? 5272 03:38:40,545 --> 03:38:43,379 Only the three counties. 5273 03:38:44,360 --> 03:38:46,799 The other question in my mind, 5274 03:38:46,799 --> 03:38:48,149 that both Mr. Mr. 5275 03:38:48,149 --> 03:38:55,770 Jenkins, these are things that DLC why Mr. 5276 03:38:55,770 --> 03:38:59,759 do encourage you to do this and why was 5277 03:38:59,759 --> 03:39:04,155 our staff to do the enforcement? 5278 03:39:04,155 --> 03:39:08,219 Well, we took I don't recall the testimony, 5279 03:39:08,219 --> 03:39:09,510 but what happens is 5280 03:39:09,510 --> 03:39:10,679 that we take testimony from 5281 03:39:10,679 --> 03:39:12,839 all departments and then 5282 03:39:12,839 --> 03:39:13,980 on the basis of testimony, 5283 03:39:13,980 --> 03:39:15,120 we make a decision on whether there's 5284 03:39:15,120 --> 03:39:16,454 a basis for enforcement. 5285 03:39:16,454 --> 03:39:18,720 But what we would 5286 03:39:18,720 --> 03:39:21,270 be logical for our staff to tell us that, 5287 03:39:21,270 --> 03:39:23,429 you know, well, we heard that work. 5288 03:39:23,429 --> 03:39:24,839 No. Well, we heard from 5289 03:39:24,839 --> 03:39:26,460 our staff are heard Mr. Duvall here, 5290 03:39:26,460 --> 03:39:27,720 the county or the 5291 03:39:27,720 --> 03:39:30,795 city or county, who argued against it. 5292 03:39:30,795 --> 03:39:32,399 And we wait at all, 5293 03:39:32,399 --> 03:39:33,615 we came to this conclusion. 5294 03:39:33,615 --> 03:39:35,024 I don't remember. 5295 03:39:35,024 --> 03:39:36,434 I unfortunately don't remember. 5296 03:39:36,434 --> 03:39:39,540 Well, the first is John put it 5297 03:39:39,540 --> 03:39:40,995 a low threshold if it's 5298 03:39:40,995 --> 03:39:43,679 there or could there be sufficient grounds? 5299 03:39:43,679 --> 03:39:44,024 Yes. 5300 03:39:44,024 --> 03:39:45,270 And then you get to the next step, 5301 03:39:45,270 --> 03:39:47,309 which is the hearings officers rolling That's 5302 03:39:47,309 --> 03:39:50,610 decide whether I mean, 5303 03:39:50,610 --> 03:39:52,994 I think you'd probably use it low threshold, 5304 03:39:52,994 --> 03:39:54,330 but I'm not sure if it's 5305 03:39:54,330 --> 03:39:55,559 proper for the arguments 5306 03:39:55,559 --> 03:39:58,079 are just a series of images. 5307 03:39:58,079 --> 03:39:59,970 What you heard today, 26 developments. 5308 03:39:59,970 --> 03:40:02,070 We've known urban services to speak up, 5309 03:40:02,070 --> 03:40:03,660 which does that give rise and 5310 03:40:03,660 --> 03:40:05,189 we weren't in a position to debate 5311 03:40:05,189 --> 03:40:06,659 whether Goal 11 required 5312 03:40:06,659 --> 03:40:08,685 confined to your NADH time? 5313 03:40:08,685 --> 03:40:10,650 It was more a matter of 5314 03:40:10,650 --> 03:40:13,154 Wasn't it comes up again. 5315 03:40:13,154 --> 03:40:14,384 We know. 5316 03:40:14,384 --> 03:40:17,099 That's my wish. 5317 03:40:17,099 --> 03:40:21,069 We had known before your work program. 5318 03:40:21,260 --> 03:40:23,729 And we actually have a draft of it 5319 03:40:23,729 --> 03:40:25,545 in our hands so that becoming too 5320 03:40:25,545 --> 03:40:28,214 soon to say draft rules that 5321 03:40:28,214 --> 03:40:30,284 would govern 5322 03:40:30,284 --> 03:40:33,914 the citizen enforcement procedure? 5323 03:40:33,914 --> 03:40:35,789 I can't remember which 5324 03:40:35,789 --> 03:40:37,320 particular proceeding it was, 5325 03:40:37,320 --> 03:40:38,580 but it was after that. 5326 03:40:38,580 --> 03:40:40,724 I think it was the couple that we got from 5327 03:40:40,724 --> 03:40:42,270 the mores Sanchez petitions 5328 03:40:42,270 --> 03:40:44,350 from the north coast, 5329 03:40:44,570 --> 03:40:48,899 recognizing that people could get into 5330 03:40:48,899 --> 03:40:51,329 this process without knowing very 5331 03:40:51,329 --> 03:40:54,000 much about the process. 5332 03:40:54,000 --> 03:40:57,045 What's possible results might be. 5333 03:40:57,045 --> 03:40:59,430 If you adopted a rule in the rule, 5334 03:40:59,430 --> 03:41:01,664 you could define the cause. 5335 03:41:01,664 --> 03:41:03,359 And you can also lay out 5336 03:41:03,359 --> 03:41:05,280 the entire process so that somebody 5337 03:41:05,280 --> 03:41:07,019 thinking about it would know 5338 03:41:07,019 --> 03:41:09,285 better what he or she is getting into it. 5339 03:41:09,285 --> 03:41:10,949 I think that will help. 5340 03:41:10,949 --> 03:41:14,294 It doesn't change the threshold. 5341 03:41:14,294 --> 03:41:16,469 Threshold is in the statute, 5342 03:41:16,469 --> 03:41:19,109 but at least they can offer 5343 03:41:19,109 --> 03:41:20,444 guidance to people about 5344 03:41:20,444 --> 03:41:22,050 how to meet nutritional. 5345 03:41:22,050 --> 03:41:24,075 It might be the budgeted cost 5346 03:41:24,075 --> 03:41:29,009 came to threshold. Yeah. 5347 03:41:29,009 --> 03:41:31,419 Good point. Forgotten that we did that. 5348 03:41:31,419 --> 03:41:33,930 We did remember the same thing we 5349 03:41:33,930 --> 03:41:35,609 were going to tell him 5350 03:41:35,609 --> 03:41:38,589 just having your argument correctly. 5351 03:41:41,540 --> 03:41:43,800 I think the word growing 5352 03:41:43,800 --> 03:41:46,749 calls for you to ask them in the fall. 5353 03:41:47,450 --> 03:41:50,679 Actually start earlier, I believe, 5354 03:41:50,679 --> 03:41:52,995 but I mean, we've now had a grant. 5355 03:41:52,995 --> 03:41:56,140 We will begin the public process. 5356 03:42:01,100 --> 03:42:03,090 Everybody has one, right. 5357 03:42:03,090 --> 03:42:03,509 Okay. 5358 03:42:03,509 --> 03:42:04,889 And you want to just tell people what it is. 5359 03:42:04,889 --> 03:42:08,790 But yesterday I mentioned 5360 03:42:08,790 --> 03:42:12,060 that we are beginning the process of 5361 03:42:12,060 --> 03:42:14,309 developing ideas that we 5362 03:42:14,309 --> 03:42:15,810 would take her bills that we 5363 03:42:15,810 --> 03:42:20,445 would take to the legislature and 97 session. 5364 03:42:20,445 --> 03:42:22,950 And I think I mentioned that there 5365 03:42:22,950 --> 03:42:27,014 were 12 items on it. 5366 03:42:27,014 --> 03:42:31,694 Several of them have to do with hazards. 5367 03:42:31,694 --> 03:42:33,314 You'll recognize it. 5368 03:42:33,314 --> 03:42:36,570 A couple of them are 5369 03:42:36,570 --> 03:42:38,430 spurred by what happened 5370 03:42:38,430 --> 03:42:40,395 with the capes development. 5371 03:42:40,395 --> 03:42:44,280 We're recommending a an improved process 5372 03:42:44,280 --> 03:42:46,184 of inner agency treatment 5373 03:42:46,184 --> 03:42:47,969 of beach front protective structures. 5374 03:42:47,969 --> 03:42:49,469 Right now there are two, sometimes 5375 03:42:49,469 --> 03:42:51,449 three agencies involved. 5376 03:42:51,449 --> 03:42:55,724 We're going to have an idea there about 5377 03:42:55,724 --> 03:42:57,930 requiring a different way of 5378 03:42:57,930 --> 03:43:01,210 doing geotechnical reports for development. 5379 03:43:01,430 --> 03:43:06,014 And then a repeat of what was last session, 5380 03:43:06,014 --> 03:43:09,029 cynical when 98, dealing with 5381 03:43:09,029 --> 03:43:10,560 disclosure of known hazards 5382 03:43:10,560 --> 03:43:13,480 and property transactions. 5383 03:43:21,170 --> 03:43:23,939 Let's see regional problem-solving 5384 03:43:23,939 --> 03:43:26,579 that continue the program. 5385 03:43:26,579 --> 03:43:28,349 But instead of treating it as 5386 03:43:28,349 --> 03:43:30,419 an adjunct to the land use process, 5387 03:43:30,419 --> 03:43:32,550 we would fit it into 5388 03:43:32,550 --> 03:43:33,959 the periodic reviews that 5389 03:43:33,959
