1. Proposed Amendment and Reformat of the Springfield Development Code.
ORDINANCE NO. 6206 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND REFORMATTING THE
SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE, ADOPTING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND
DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
City Planner Gary Karp presented the staff report on this item. The SDC was adopted in May,
1986. In the 21 years since its adoption, the City has made piecemeal amendments to the SDC to
implement both State and local planning mandates and local planning priorities. Over time, these
SDC amendments have resulted in a document that has become cumbersome and difficult to
understand for both staff and potential developers.
In order to address these issues, the City contracted with Eaton Planning Services to perform an
audit of the SDC in early 2005. That project was funded by the Oregon Department of Land
Conservation and Development (DLCD) with a Technical Assistance Grant. The results of the.
audit were reviewed by the Planning Commission and Council in Spring 2005. Staff was
authorized to proceed with the SDC Edit and Reformat Project in order to make the SDC more
contemporary and user-friendly. Staff established a technical advisory committee to assist with
the project.

The proposed reformatted SDC is generally based on a layout used for the "Model Development
Code for Small Cities" and converts the current 44 articles into 6 chapters. The proposed
reformatted SDC also places current text describing various standards into tables, combines
Subdivision and Partition regulations into one Section and reduces redundant language, for
example, "consistency with the Metro Plan" is placed in one location and deleted from each
individual zoning district description.
The proposed reformatted SDC does not include any "policy" changes, such as additions to use
lists or new development standards. These issues will be addressed later this year or early next
year, in work sessions with the Planning Commission and Council.
On June 5, 2007, the Planning Commission held a work session and public hearing on this matter.
There was no public testimony. The Planning Commission voted 5-0, with 2 absent to advise the
Council to approve the proposed SDC amended and reformatted Ordinance.
In July, due to the size of the document, staff provided the Council an opportunity to become
familiar with the reformatted SDC in advance of this scheduled public hearing. Staff is
requesting the adopting Ordinance include an emergency clause for this reason and in order to
meet the time line for Lane County adoption, which is scheduled in October. Lane County must
adopt amendments to the SDC as specified in the Intergovernmental Agreement which gives the
City zoning authority between the city limits and the urban growth boundary.
Mr. Karp said this was discussed during the work session and asked if Council had further
questions. He said adding headings to the document would not affect the ordinance.
Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing.
No one appeared to speak.
Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing.

Mayor Leiken noted the ,amount of information in this code and acknowledged the positive
feedback he received from a citizen who commended staff on their quick response to their call.
2. Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution Amending Fees for Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
RESOLUTION NO. 07-41- A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SPRINGFIELD ADOPTING AN AMENDED MASTER SCHEDULE OF
RATES, PERMITS, LICENSES, AND OTHER FEES AND CHARGES AS
ESTABLISHED BY THE SPRINGFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE.
Budget Officer Bob Brew presented the staff report on this item. At the May 21, 2007 City
Council meeting, Council adopted an amended Master Schedule of Rates, Permits, Licenses, and
Other Fees and Charges as Established by the Springfield Municipal Code. The Grading Plan

Mr. Brew explained. Mr. Brew said staff would be coming back to Council for new fees and
charges at a later date.

BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE
1. Curtiss Greer, 357 55th Street, Springfield, OR. Mr. Greer discussed the position postedon
Craig's List for a Latino Liaison in the Library. He discussed the issue of people speaking
their own language and not learning the English language. He noted the cost of this position
and disagreed with encouraging people to speak their native language rather than learning
English. He made reference to a higher power on which this country was based and the book
inspired by that greater power. The founders created a nation of one language, one culture
and one loyalty, which he felt was based on Genesis 11:6 from the Bible. He quoted that
verse. He recited from four quotes from President James Madison, President Theodore
Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Vaclav Havel. He said he could only surmise that staff and
Council felt the citizens were more powerful than the government.
2. Fred Simmons, 312 South 52nd Place, Springfield. Oregon. Mr. Simmons spoke on the
Downtown Urban Renewal District. He referred to the July meeting and said there seemed to
be a difference in opinion regarding the direction from that meeting. Staff said they were
directed to include the largest boundary out to 23rd Street, but he didn't recall it that way;
There was a substantial avoidance of the fmancial reality of the urban renewal district. The
numbers were confusing. There had been no public hearing on this process since the data had
been presented. The boundaries didn't include the south portion of the Booth Kelly property,
yet the SEDA Board would still include two County Commissioners. He felt the boundary
should expand to the south because it could be beneficial to them in the future. He was not
sure ifhe should support the urban renewal district because of the validity to the community
or oppose it due to the lack of information and facts. Citizens deserved to have the facts.
3. Jeff Thurn, North Star Coin and Jewelry, 643 Main Street, Springfield, OR. Mr. Thurn said
he understood Council was voting, ,and indeed had already voted, on the Used Merchandise
ordinance tonight. He said he sent an email to the Council today with his feelings about that
ordinance. He said it was a fine thing that they were doing and he commended everyone on
their professionalism. He did have concerns about the second hand ordinance and the fees. He

said it was tough to raise taxes these days, but it was easy to raise fees and service charges.
He didn't feel fees and charges were a permanent way to run the government.
4. Julian Walker, 158 18th Street, Springfield, Or. Mr. Walker said he had a business called
Numbers Aglow, a curb painting service. He felt his business was being discriminated against
by Developmental Services, which refused to grant a solicitor's license. He said his business
was a service that aided the ambulance, fire and police department. He said the police knew
him well and called him their curb painter. He said ifthere was a law against helping police
,and fire, he would like to know what it was. He discussed the history of curb painting. He
said he started in this business in California following a fire at an apartment building. He said
he was a responsible business operator, offered guarantees for his work and asked only for
'donations. His business was the first to have fluorescent numbers. He said he was a solicitor
and wanted a solicitor's license and would like to be treated in a democratic fashion.
Mr. Grimaldi said staff would look into this issue and report back to Council.
5. Norm LeCompte, 180 East 11 th Avenue, Eugene, OR. Mr. LeCompte was an attorney with
Herschner Hunter and represented the prospective purchaser of the Weyerhaeuser Springfield
Plywood Mill. As part of the proceeding for closing that sale, some old real estate restrictions
were discovered that affected the use and operation of that property and that would derail this
transaction unless the City was willing to waive the restrictions. Both Weyerheauser and he
had been in contact with City Attorney Joe Leahy over the last couple of weeks to discuss
this. Mr. Leahy suggested Mr. LeCompte come to Council to give background on the people
buying that mill and their plans for the mill. Assuming the limitations were released and the
sale closed, the mill would become part of Pacific States Industries companies. That was a
privately owned group of forest product companies headquartered in San Jose, California.
The original business was called Redwood Enterprises. This company was founded in 1971.
He described some of the products manufactured by the different divisions and noted that
they owned timberland in northern California. The first entry into Oregon was Bald Knob
Veneer in Creswell about three years ago. Since ownership by Pacific States, production and
jobs had increased and they had been a good citizen of Creswell. The company hoped to
acquire Weyerhaeuser's Springfield Plywood Mill.
Although the three minute time limit was up, Mayor Leiken invited Mr. LeCompte to
continue and asked that he remain for the rest of the Council meeting in case questions came
up when they discussed this item. Mr. LeCompte said he would be glad to stay.
Mr. LeCompte continued with his presentation. He said Pacific States had an excellent
reputation and fit well with their other operations. Initially, their plan was to start up the
drying facility and employ 25-50 people. Longer term, they planned to restart plywood
production and would expect to employ 80-85 people, which was about the number of
employees Weyerhaeuser had when it owned the mill. Pacific States had no expansion plans,
although they did plan to open a sales officeat that site which would service that site as well
as the Bald Knob site and another mill in northern' California. Mr. LeCompte said his
association with the company went back to 2004, and he had been very impressed with them
as individuals and business people. He felt they would be good corporate citizens for
Springfield.

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL
1. . Business from Council
a. Committee Reports
1. Councilor Pishioneri asked that staff be directed to look at waivmg the fees for non-
profit organizations that have Fireworks Stands and Christmas Tree Lots. He would
like to look at setting a window of time for legal fIreworks to be set off, such as two
week prior and two weeks after national holidays. Special events could still have
permits.
Councilor Ralston asked if that would include N ew Years.
Councilor Pishioneri said it would - any national holiday.
2. Councilor Lundberg said she attended the Fiesta Latina on behalf ofthe City. It was a
great event with great food and was well attended. She said they had great fIreworks.
3. Councilor Woodrow reported on the recent concert held at the Wildish Theater. He
complimented the Springfield Renaissance Development Corporation (SRDC) and
noted that the three downtown restaurants that stayed open that evening were full. He
said the concert was full with about 250 people attending. It was great to see the
Springfield downtown so full with people from this event as well as the Fiesta Latina.
4. Councilor Ballew referred to Councilor Pishioneri's suggestion to waive fees for non-
profits for Fireworks Stands and Christmas Tree Lots. She said she would not be .
supportive of not charging non-profits. The City needed to treat everyone equally.
Councilor Pishioneri said he would like this discussion brought back to Council in
time for a decision to be made before the Christmas Tree season.
Mayor Leiken asked staff to bring this to council leadership arid then schedule it on
the Council agenda.
5. Mayor Leiken spoke regarding the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) Meeting.
It was clear that SpringfIeld needed to be on our toes. There were different issues
coming forward and changes. There would be debate on how the funds would be
used: for projects or maintenap.ce. He discussed federal funding that should have
, gone to the counties from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) that
was already committed to projects. Overall Springfield's goals had been strongly
identified. It was helpful to have the Council united on transportation projects.
Councilor Ballew added that there was an effort to intermingle land use planning and
transportation. When it came to federal requirements, however, it didn't apply. There

. seemed to be an effort to tangle Federal requirements with State requirements, which
was not a good thing.
6. Mayor Leiken spoke on the Oregon Business Magazine tour and said they had a blog
on the internet, with very positive comments about Springfield. It was fun to see
people from outside the area come to Springfield. They were very impressed with the
RiverBend Hospital, Glenwood and other areas of our City. They toured BRING
Recycling and saw that Springfield was practicing sustainability. The tour was
outstanding. He thanked Niel Laudati and Courtney Griesel for coordinating the tour
and John Tamulonis for his expertise as they took the people on the tour.
BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. Declaration of Real Property as Surplus.
RESOLUTION NO 07-42 - A RESOLUTION DECLARING CERTAIN REAL
PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD SURPLUS AND DIRECTING
THE CITY MANAGER TO OFFER SUCH PROPERTY FOR SALE.
Assistant Public Works Director Len Goodwin presented the staff report on this item. In 1993, the
City acquired property which had been abandoned railroad right of way from the Sycan B Corp.
The principal purpose of the acquisition was to facilitate the improvement of Pioneer Parkway,
including the ultimate expansion ofthe parkway to connect with Beltline Road. The extension,
Martin Luther King, Jr., Parkway, has now been constructed. The alignment of the Parkway
followed the right of way for a substantial portion, but did not use this parcel of approximately
0~45 acres at the northern end of the property acquired from Sycan B. The parcel is burdened by a
number of easements and is not suitable for construction or for any other public use. One owner
of abutting property has expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The interested party is
now constructing the Women; s Care facility and intends to use this parcel, if acquired, for
additional parking.
Staff recommends that the property be offered for public sale consistent with the provisions of
Municipal Code Section 2.714 and the relevant provision of Oregon Revised Statutes regulating
the disposal of public property.
Councilor Pishioneri asked if this property abutted commercial property.
Mr. Goodwin said it bordered the Women's Care pavilion on the north and a private residence on
the south.
Councilor Pishioneri asked if that site could be used for a billboard.
Mr. Goodwin said if there were no code restrictions, it could.
Mr. Leahy said Council could make a reservation that no billboards could be placed on this
property. Council could, make that decision during their public hearing on this subject.
Councilor Ballew asked if the easements would be accessible. Yes.

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY
1. Release of Deed Restriction.
City Attorney Joe Leahy presented this item. Mr. Leahy noted that the City had originally owned
this property in 1937 and 1941 and had a restriction that a sawmill had to be placed on one of the
parcels and there could be no mortgage. Pacific States now wanted to purchase this property from
Weyerheauser and discovered these restrictions. There was now zoning and the zoning on that
property was heavy industrial which would allow a sawmill, plywood mill or any other heavy
industrial use. Mr. Leahy said he talked with Development Services Director Bill Grile and found
that this was consistent with what should be done in this case. Staff recommended that the City , .
release the condition.
Councilor Ballew referred to the original costs of that property.
Mayor Leiken thanked Mr. LeCompte for staying and for the information he shared. He
appreciated Pacific States making the investment to buy this facility and bring jobs back to
Springfield.
Councilor Pishioneri asked about the safety records for the other plants this company had
purchased.
Mr. LeCompte.said he didn't know. He was not a full time employee, but served as Counsel. His
observations about Pacific States were that they were good operators and he knew they were
concerned about safety in their plants. They had asked for all of Weyerhaeuser safety records and
policies for this site.
Councilor Pishioneri asked if the labor unions were in favor of this purchase.
Mr. LeCompte said he did not know.
