(] ( I( P1~A AI d To Ashland City Council Steven Daneman 250 Sunnyview Street, Ashland 12/18/07 Thank you for this opportunity to provide testimony in regard to the proposed regulations for pervious surfaces and lot coverage. I testify in support of allowing 10% of lot coverage as pervious surfaces, including driveways. Staff has proposed only a 5% amount of pervious surface, excluding driveways. There are several reasons why the 10% amount, including driveways, is a better solution, while also meeting the goals and rationale for lot coverage limitations. The City has a legitimate interest in managing storm water runoff and limiting peak flows to reduce flooding. Using performance standard criteria, allowing pervious surfaces that do not count against lot coverage complies with the goal of reducing peak flows since pervious surface driveways actually have a water retention capacity. Pervious driveways also have the added benefit of minimizing sediment and pollution runoff. I would also ask that you consider this regulation in light of the proposed expansion of the fire truck turnaround requirement. If driveways are not included in allowed pervious surfaces, turnaround areas could have substantial negative impact on some property owners by unreasonably limiting the use of their property without serving any public interest. Allowing the use of pervious surfaces for driveways would give property owners an alternative that would promote the beneficial and efficient use of their property while still controlling storm water runoff. In addition, including driveways in the definition of pervious surfaces would likely have a beneficial impact in increasing the use of pervious concrete in general. As pervious concrete usage becomes more common the relative cost compared to standard surfaces should be reduced and become more cost competitive. If pervious surfaces could be encouraged in driveways and fire truck turnaround areas, owners would be more likely to use pervious surfaces voluntarily in adjacent areas like flag driveways and garage entries due to economies of scale, thus providing a multiplier effect of benefits. Finally, since the use of pervious surfaces in driveways and fire truck turnaround areas will satisfy the City's interest in managing storm water runoff, the allowed area should not be arbitrarily set at a 5% level that may be too small to include the entire driveway and turnaround areas, in addition to walkways and decks. It would be counterproductive to place the City in the position of trying to micro-manage the square footage of garden paths because the standard was set too low. Since the City's legitimate interests are satisfied by pervious surfaces, you should permit a 10% lot coverage amount that would provide the benefit of economic scale necessary to encourage adoption of this emerging construction technique. I encourage you to adopt a 10% pervious surface standard that includes driveways. Thank you. RECEIVED To: Ashland City Council From: Bonnie Brodersen, 635 Wrights Creek, Ashland, OR Date: December 17, 2007 Re: Comments Concerning Amendments to the ALVO's (Chapter 18, et al) DEe 1 8 2007 City of Ashland Community DeveloptllEll1t Response to Ashland Land Use Ordinances -- Proposed Draft Amendments. Section: 18.08.160 Coverage The proposed definition of "coverage" will now permit driveways to be excluded from lot coverage requirements (up to 5%) because the proposed definition of "porous solid surface" now includes pervious asphalt and pervious concrete - materials from which driveways can be constructed. If the city wants driveways included as "coverage," then the defmition needs clarification. Driveways, even permeable driveways, do not allow for normal infiltration. Permeable driveways get clogged with dirt. Even permeable driveways that are well maintained and from which dirt has been removed, do not provide normal infiltration. Does the city really want to eliminate pervious driveways from the coverage requirement. These driveways are relatively untested and provide us with a false sense that something is being done to address the issue of runoff? It's incumbent upon the City to seek information from those who have experience and expertise in the use of pervious driveways/surfaces before it defmes "pervious asphalt" and "pervious concrete" as "porous surfaces" or concludes that a permeable driveway will permit normal infiltration. If there is not normal infiltration, there will be runoff into our streams and creeks. Runoff, carrying oil, sediment, pesticides, etc., pollutes our wetlands and streams and causes bank erosion. All surfaces which cause runoff should be included in the definition of "coverage The proposed amendment allows for greater coverage of lots when, if we are concerned about preserving our natural resources, we should be encouraging further reduction of coverage. For example, in the R-l zone the proposed amendment would allow 45% of the lot to be covered. The definition of coverage as revised, will increase the likelihood of flooding and pollution of our waterways and will promote destruction of the natural flora. And from a visual standpoint, natural flora, and live greenery win hands down over asphalt and concrete. As Jom Mitchell wrote: "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." The proposed revisions violate Ashland's Comprehensive Plan which has as two of its Goals: to "[p]rotect the quality of riparian resource lands..." and "[t]o preserve and protect significant wetlands, and to mitigate potential impacts on these areas due to development and conflicting uses." CP page IV-II & 13 a. "This objective shall be used consistent with the desire to preserve land by using the smallest lot coverage possible." CP Housing Goal 6.10 (3) Finally, was it the intent to use the words "or other solid surfaces" rather than "and other solid surfaces" in the first sentence of the proposed amendment? the more impact it has on a neighborhood and on resources: there is greater impact during construction, more coverage, larger percentage of impervious surface, greater disturbance of natural areas, etc. Larger homes, in general, use more of our natural resources; i.e., the larger the home, the greater the consumption of electricity to light it, water for maintaining the yard/flora, natural gas to heat it, etc. And a large home is more likely to visually impact a neighborhood than does a smaller home. It is incumbent upon the city to continue to give neighbors the opportunity to be heard concerning impacts of homes in excess of2500 square feet. The Type I procedure offers neighbors an opportunity for notice and to be heard. But the proposed amendments to the Type I procedure will eliminate this avenue for citizen input. Finally, for both ecological reasons and for getting the most benefit from the land available for development in Ashland, the City should discourage the construction of large homes. Subjecting homes in excess of2,500 sq. ft. to a site review may be one of several avenues for doing that. 3 Motion to approve the Public Arts Master Plan following additions: 1. Staff should draft an ordinance that would incorporate the Policies and Procedures section in Appendix A, to be reviewed by the Public Arts Commission and subsequently approved by Council. 2. The first three lines of paragraph 4 on p. 19 should be deleted and replaced with the following language: "Public Art should be located in areas where large numbers of people gather or pass through. This includes the downtown, high-use parks, and shopping areas throughout the City." 3. The Public Arts Commission will return to the Council with proposed funding and project options in late February or early March. f!3-arJt;/Jm~ Suggested redraft of "Gentleperson' s Agreement" Alice Hardesty 12-16-07 I.

Mavor/Councilors - ResDonse from City Recorder The proposed policy was meant to meet the new State law requiring that city's formally adopt a Public Records Request procedure and fee schedule. The proposed policy only reflects or captures how we currently process records requests, which works well as it is now. The policy was not meant to make any changes but only to reflect what the current process IS. Hartzell Questions / ProDosal on Public Records Policv Explanatory comments are in italics. Value and Concern: There's a fundamental issue of balancing the public's right to access public information with the cost of implementing that right. QUESTIONS 1. Section 6. Will this cost extra or will cost be adjusted? Example: Large print uses more paper, potentially more time. Cost of copying would be based on number of pages. Because copiers are more "user friendly" these days it is not difficult or time consuming to change the set-up on the copier for larger print. 2. Section 9.a. paragraph two: What is meant by "extraordinary" or "significantly disrupt normal discharge?" What protections can be added here to protect public access in times when material requested is controversial? If the city is short-staffed, such a request is going to be disruptive, but from no fault of citizen. Is there a cap on time spent on futile research? "Extraordinary" etc. was used to help define the "30 minute test" Controversial materials are public records regardless of their nature. The only exception would be if the public records are exempt from disclosure under ORS 192.410 to 192.505 State law does not require "on demand" requests for public records the timeline is governed by the ORS statute which we are required to follow regardless of staffing "Futile research" - If the public records request is a "legitimate" the request it will include specificity on the records being requested. 3. Section 9.b. What change could be made to include time spent applying ORS 192.410-.505 in the initial 30 minutes? Or reducing the cost? It is very unlikely that a request for records that requires the City Attorney's review would result in less than 30 minutes. The 30 minutes begins when the request is initially reviewed by the department and then the determination of review by City Attorney is made. 4. Section 10.a. Who is the "City Records Officer?" What are examples of waivers? Private media outlets? Is Section 1O.b. also supposed to read City Records Officer instead of Department Head? The attempt here is to involve the department that is providing the records. The "City Records Officer" is the City Recorder, but Department Heads should also be allowed to make decisions that effect their own department. Examples of waivers include local news media, private publications of newspapers, councilor requests, special interest groups, etc. 4\ c;:..M.nn 1 (),. \X!h"t'" "n "v",,"n!.. nf'" nnn_rnl1t.n.. "",,t..ri,,!? Non-routine items are identified differently in each department. 6. As written, who decides on whether or not requested material is needed to act in one's official capacity? This is a political decision and as such should be protected as much as possible from political influence. I leave this for the council to discuss. The policy is written purposely to be general and flexible and allow departments to make common sense decisions. PROPOSED CHANGES 1. Section 2.1. end sentence after". . . during usual business hours." It strikes me that facilitating public access to public information is part of job of public official. Have no problem with proposed change. 2. Section 5. Add: "This requirement shall not be a barrier to a timely opportunity to view documents. " Do not see the need to add this statement. Please explain what your mean by "barrier" ~ Section 9.a. "Copies of documents provided by a routine file search [ADD: of30 minutes or l7 less] will be charged..." Good suggestion. ~ection 9.c. "... and the requestor confirms [ADD: in writing] that s/he wants the City to ~roceed... " Good suggestion. (). Section IO.b.

Give V examples. Have no problem moving the definition but hesitate adding examples as this should remain flexible. Business changes over time, along with types of documents. I believe we should deter from specifying certain types of documents in the policy in order to remain flexible. 7. Section 11. ADD subsection "a. The City will maintain a record of requests, time used, and the assessed costs." Don't find this sentence necessary. Any requests that are submitted in writing will be subject to the Public Records Law and the State Archivist Retention Schedule. The public records request will include the time used and cost associated. I do not support maintaining a record for all requests, only those that are submitted in writing. It would be more time consuming for staff to maintain a file of all requests if it included those that took less than 30 minutes.
