A timely appeal was tiled by Art Bullock;however, Mr. Bullock has failed to identify any specific issues as to why this planning action does not meet the applicable criteria. Mr. Stalheim explained the Council Findings contained on page 65 of the planning action record address the alleged traffic mitigation errors and noted that no changes have been made between the preliminary plan approval and the final plan. Mr. Stalheim commented that both the Planning COIllIll ission and staff find that the planning action complies with the criteria for approval of final outline plan. Mr. Stalheim explained the Council must base their decision on the criteria listed in AMC Section 18.88.030(B)(5)(g) and noted they cannot go back and address the layout of the subdivision or any other issue that has been concluded. He stated the basis of the appeal is whether or not the project complies with the street standards and noted that Council had extensive discussion and resolved this issue at the preliminary plan approval. APPLICANT'S PRESENT A nON Devian Aguirre and Kerry KenCairn addressed the Council. Ms Aguirre stated they are uncertain how to proceed because they are unaware of what the specific issues are. She noted the outline plan was approved and their final plan is substantially the same. Ms. Aguirre stated she believes they are in compliance and stated they are interested in finding out what the appellant's issues are. Ms. KenCairn clarified the changes to the sidewalks were done in order to protect the wetlands and trees. It was also clarified they would be installing a pervious concrete path and noted the pavement would need to be cleaned periodically to maintain its perviousness. OPPONENTS AND THEIR REPRESENT A TIVES Art Bullock addressed the Council and questioned if the packets, record, and DVDs for the prior proceedings before the City Council and the Planning Commission were included in the current record. Mr. Appicello clarified the minutes of the Planning Commission meetings as well as the packet information is included in the record. He stated the videos are not included unless they are specifically incorporated or someone presents them and enters them into the record. Mr. Bullock requested the record be kept open for an additional seven days in order for him to present this information; however, if Council decides to enter this information themselves, he will consider withdrawing his request. Mr. Bullock provided the following seven alleged errors regarding the planning application: ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 2 1,2007 PAGE 3 of9 I) Swimming Pool Leak. Mr. Bullock stated the neighborhood has had a problem with this for decades and it has leaked for so many years that it has created a permanent wetland on the north side ofthe poolhouse. He stated the outline plan requires this to be resolved with a utility and stormdrain plan, and stated this is not included in the record. Mr. Bullock also comment~:d that the wetland needs to be held in perpetuity. 2) Wetland Runoff. Mr. Bullock stated the wetlands flood the curb and gutters and overflows into the stormdrain, which empties at the end of Glendower Street. He stated the water from the hot springs creates a different kind of ecosystem and stated the environmental solution required by the outline plan has not been met. He also noted the runoffs proximity to Bear Creek. 3) Pedestrian Path. Mr. Bullock stated the Plann ing Commission did not resolve the issues regarding the surface, depth, and tree protection of the path and stated the specifics mentioned by the applicant are not included in the plan. He also commented that this should have gone before the Tree Commission and it would be a legal error to approve this without the Tree Commission's approval. 4) Access Streets. Mr. Bullock stated the Ashland Municipal Code requires the developer to improve major development access streets to City standards; however, this information is not included in the plan. He commented on the concentration of traffic on Drager and Laurel Streets, and stated neither are shown in the plan to be improved to City standards. He also questioned if Drager Street would be changed to "Draeger" Street inside the subdivision. Mr. Bullock commented on the developer's participation in a Local Improvement District (LID) for Laurel Street. He stated the application shifts the financial burden of improving Laurel Street from the developer to the property owners and he feels that the developer should be required to bring Laurel Street up to City standards. Mr. Bullock noted under Resolution # 1999-09, the developer could revoke their participation agreement. He also commented that the final plan should show the documents in detail that will satisfy the conditions of the outline plan and this has not been done. 5) Water Permit Requirement. Mr. Bullock stated this requirement has not been met. Mr. Bullock clarified the plan does not include a sidewalk from the development to Laurel Street and stated the sidewalk only covers the area on Otis Street next to the development. Comment was made questioning what Mr. Bullock's sIxth and seventh alleged errors are. Mr. Bullock stated the application has not been signed by the property owner and the identity of the signer is not clear, and the seventh error is regarding the delegation of discretion. He commented on the improper transfer of discretionary authority from the Council to staff and stated the Council needs to maintain this authority. THOSE WISHING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY (None) REBUTTAL BY THE APPLICANT Devian Aguirre and Kerry KenCairn commented that the alleged errors listed by Mr. Bullock are not relevant to the approval criteria. Ms. KenCairn noted that aside from this, they would still take this opportunity to respond to Mr. Bullocks claims. Issue # I - Swimming Pool Leak. Ms.KenCairn explained the drainage issue of the pool and the wetland is addressed in the outline plan and the final plan. and the final engineering plans are a condition of approval. She stated it is standard for conditions of approval to be met after the approval of the Planning Commission and stated it is staffs discretion to work with the applicant to make sure these conditions are carried out. ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGrJST21,2()()7 PAGE -/ of9 Issue #2 - Wetland Runoff. Ms. Aguirre noted the wetland on the west side of the property will be maintained and Ms. KenCairn explained the runoffwill be collected into a drainage system. It was noted that it is natural for these waters to flow into Bear Creek and it was clarified that the wetland itself cools the water. Issue #3 - Pedestrian Path. It was expalined that the entire project was approved at outline plan and the path has not been altered. Ms. KenCairn noted the Tree Commission did review this application at one time. She stated it was not taken back before the Tree Commission for a second time; however, they do not see this as an issue since the plan did not change. Ms. KenCairn also noted she is a Landscape Architect and used to serve on the Tree Commission and understands how to properly build a path under trees. Issue #4 - Access Street. Ms Aguirre explained the access path does extend to Laurel from both Randy and Drager Streets, and noted this is shown in the narrative portion of the plans.

Ms. Aguirre clarified they signed as an agent and this is included in the record. Issue #6 - Delegation of Discretion. Ms. KenCairn eXplained that conditions of approval are the way planning actions are carried out and stated it is the discretion of staff to work with the applicant to finalize details after it is approved with conditions. She stated this is not illegal as claimed by the appellant and noted that most of the issues dealt with at that point are highly technical and are typically worked out with the City's Engineering Department. Ms. Aguirre clarified they agreed to extend the sidevialks to Laurel Street from Otis and Randy Streets, not Drager as incorrectly mentioned earlier. She also noted they are not trying to sl~parate themselves from the neighborhood and will participate in any LID and are prepared to pay their share of the costs. Ms. Aguirre clarified based on the traffic study that was completed, the access streets do comply with the street standards, with the exception of the sidewalk. She added there is no evidence that suggests these streets are overburdened from a transportation standpoint. Councilor Hartzell questioned if the applicant would be willing to include the use of pervious concrete in Condition 15. Both Ms. Aguirre and Ms. KenCairn stated"yes". Councilor Hartzell also noted a typographical error in Condition 15, and stated it should read ",.. fencing should be a minimum of3 feet".

Ms. KenCairn clarified "Drager" was spelled incorrectly in their materials and it is not their intention to change the spelling of the street name.

Mr. Jordan commented on the work that has been done since the failure of the Library Levy and stated many things have happened over the last week. He explained the County does not know what the actual amount of the reauthorization from the Federal Government will be. but they believe it will be within I % of what they received last time, which was $23 Million. Mr. Jordan explained of that money, $15.3M would go to General Fund Services, and $8.3M would go towards library services. Mr. Jordan commented on the legal boundaries regarding the facilities and clarified the County does not have 15 libraries; it has one library with 15 branches. He commented on the unique circumstances regarding the various facilities and stated these circumstances limit their ability to consolidate and have fewer branches. Mr. Jordan stated the recommendation to their Budget Committee is to appropriate out of the General Fund Reserve $2.3M in addition to the $1.5M they have already budgeted and open all 15 branches ofthe library at ASHLAll/f) CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST21,2007 PAGE 6 of9 a reduced level of operating hours. He eXplained five of the branches would be open 24 hours per week, four would be open 8 hours per week, and the remainder would be open 16 hours per week. Mr. Jordan stated Ashland is one of the five branches to be open 24 hours per week. Mr. Jordan provided an explanation of the criteria used to evaluate the proposals and noted that LSSI was the successful bidder. He stated the County is currently in contract negotiations with LSSI and clarified if Ashland wishes to increase the hours of operation to 40 hours per week, it would cost an additional $240,000 and to go from 24 hours to 48 hours per week would cost $360,000. Mr. Jordan stated the base contract with LSSI allows the County to negotiate, by jurisdiction, individual desires from the various communities and cited examples of how other jurisdictions are considering supplementing the system. He added the County plans on opening all of the libraries at the noted service levels this November. Mr. Jordan clarified the contract would guarantee the price for 5 years; however, they would renew the contract annually. Comment was made questioning LSSI's record in other communities. Mr. Jordan noted the 2004 report and stated there were issues, both positive and negative, listed about LSSl's performance. He explained he performed a considerable amount of background work and stated LSSI' s proposal addressed the issues raised in the 2004 report. He noted other government agencies working with LSSI, including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute and stated that any issues would need to be handled through contract compliance. He commented on the need to build a contract that addresses all of the issues and noted the contract would have a 60-day termination clause. Councilor Navickas expressed his concerns regarding privatization and outsourcing and questioned if it is possible for Ashland to have a certain level of independence regarding book purchases and staffhiring, while maintaining a level of connectivity. Mr. Jordan commented on a possible "hybrid" option and stated if Ashland has a proposal, he would take it to the Board of Commissioners for consideration. He also eXplained that the book-buying element would be a palt of the contract and LSSI would be required to work with each of the local advisory committees and Friends of the Libraries for each jurisdiction in terms of multiple issues within the contract, and not just the book-buying element. Mr. Jordan clarified that as the contractor, the County does not control the number of employees, what they are paid, or how they get the work done; all they have control over is what they are requiring as the outcome. Mayor Morrison noted the City's ballot measure and stated that he believes this is something the City still wants to do, even give the County's decision. Mr. Jordan confirmed the City could use the funds from a local tax levy to seek enhanced services from LSSI. Comment was made questioning ifLSSI would be required to pay the City's living wage. Mr. Jordan stated it would difficult for LSSI to hire employees unless they offer a competitive wage package. Mayor Morrison noted the intent to open the libraries as soon as possible and to find a long-term solution and thanked the County for the efforts in working towards this direction. City Administrator Martha Bennett noted there are some choices that the Council must make. She stated there is no option at this point to remove the ballot measure and they do not have an option to not certify the property tax levy by October 1,2007. Ms. Bennett listed the following options the Council does have, and noted they do not need to make a decision tonight: Option # I: Augment the services the County is proposing to purchase through LSSI by adding hours. Option #2: Do nothing. Option #3: Attempt a hybrid option, which would entail the City hiring its own employees, but still using the County's collection and infrastructure system. Option #4: Go it alone and have Ashland operate its own library. ASHLAND C/7T COUNCIL MEE7JNG AUGUST:: I, 2()()7 PAGE 7of9 Councilor Hartzell suggested the Council hold a Special Meting to take public input on this issue. Amy B1ossom/140 Susan Lane/Commented on the importance of the levy to operate Ashland's library and stated it is essential that this levy passes so that Ashland can expand on the basic level of service to be provided by the County. Ms. Blossom noted the need to bring the service level back up to where it was when the library closed and encouraged everyone to vote. Pam Vavra/457 C Street/Noted she is Co-chair of the Committee to Open Ashland Library. She noted this committee has been holding meetings every week to gather input from the public and stated they have received mixed views regarding the benefits and disadvantages of outsourcing and privatJization. Ms. Vavra stated the community needs to come together and pass the Ashland levy to augment the County's service level and encouraged the citizens to vote. Joshua Gordon/945 Cedar WayN oiced support for passing the levy and keeping the City's options open. He stated that 24 hours a week is not what the community wants, and stated the library should be open a minimum of 40 hours per week. Mayor Morrison stated it is important for the citizens of Ashland to understand that the City is asking for the passage of a levy that will authorize the expenditure of up to $0.58 per $1,000 assessed property value, and clarified that the City has no intentions of spending more than is necessary. Council offered their comments and input regarding the options before them. Councilor Silbiger voiced support for focusing on getting the levy passed. He stated the service levels the County is offering are not acceptable to the citizens of Ashland. He requested clarification on whetherthe City's Living Wage Ordinance would apply and voiced support for holding a public meeting to take public testimony and provide clarification. Councilor Navickas commented on the importance of the passage of the levy, and voiced support of a hybrid option in the long run. Councilor Hardesty voiced support for holding an additional meeting and agreed that it is very important for the levy to pass. Councilor Hartzell requested legal guidance on how the ballot language would be impacted by their choices, and which of the choices would gain them the highest likelihood of getting the ballot levy passed. Mayor Morrison reiterated the key issues and stated that augmenting what the County is offering is the best way to proceed. He noted that this is not a permanent solution and once the libraries are back open they can begin working on a long-term solution. Mr. Jordan commented that there are job positions that would not qualify for the City's living wage and stated that the County cannot expect the contractor to pay more than they did. Ms. Bennett questioned what date the Council would like to hold the Special Meeting on. Council agreed on Monday, June 27,2007. Ms. Bennett recapped the Council discussion and stated: I) Council is interested in local community input and influence over the service, 2) Council is interested in the quality and content of the materials and services being offered, 3) Council is interested in fairness to the employees, and 4) Council is interested in preserving a local option and the potential independence of the Ashland branch or the potential for a new governing structure to be formed.
