Subject: RE Justice Center B Street Vacation
Scott, thanks for your comments Regarding the vacation of B Street, there is no definitive tlmeframe for this
action and It will not be presented dunng the time you are away (Oct 13 - Nov 13, 2006) Among other
considerations, the City IS awaiting the outcome of the levy for mUnicipal jail operations that IS on the November
elections ballot
We already have you on record as objecting to the vacation of B Street, and are stili committed to sending a
public heanng notice to you as requested I regret the oversight In not sending a notice of the site plan application
to you However, the file IS available for you to examine If desired, and a notice would have arrived at Branch
Englneenng I would note the site plan review only Involves the Single city block containing the eXisting police and
courts bUilding, commercial lease space, and the alley and parking lots No site plan approvals have been Issued
that Involve the utilization of B Street or the current employee parking lot north of B Street
Please be advised the site plan review application matenals were prepared and submitted by Robertson
Sherwood Architects and KPFF Englneenng, not staff There was only one comment received from the 300-foot
notification to adjacent landowners/occupants, and It dealt With the vacation of B Street - which was not part of
the proposed site plan
Your prevIous oral and wntten testimony related to the vacation of B Street will be entered In the record when any
vacation application for B Street IS received and processed Your emall of September 20,2006 and thiS response
also will be entered In that record
I trust thiS addresses you inquiry and please let me know If you have any questions Thanks
Best Regards,
Andy Llmblrd

Subject: Justice Center B Street Vacation
Andy,
What IS the schedule for the proposed vacation of B Street? Please conSider thiS a formal request to be sent
notice of any land use applications associated With the Justice Center Project I was disappointed not to have
received notice of the site plan review after I orally requested being put on your list following the Planning
Commission heanng last spnng Please send notice to my home address, 1127 B Street, Spnngfleld, OR,
97477 I would much appreciate a response to the current schedule inquiry and an acknowledgement that I will
receive notice In the future
I remain committed to appealing any decIsion to vacate the street. I will be out of the state and unreachable
October 13 until November 13 If somehow the city schedules the proceedings In a way that I am unable to
partiCipate In, I request now that my prevIous oral and wntten testimony related to thiS Issue be entered Into the
record My position and objection remains the same With additional complaint about the manner In which my
testimony was Inappropnately dismissed by staff In the earlier proceedings I also Intend to raise objections about
the conflict of Interest In the city having the same indiViduals prepanng applications and staff review I think the
city should have referred the decIsions to a heanngs officer
