IV. PUBLIC APPEARANCES Bob Bestul, SJL Construction Mr. Bestul asked about the issue regarding stumps buried in Central Point East Subdivision. He was not present at the last meeting when the Council made their decision. Mr. Bestul stated that he was also concerned about comments made by staff to the news papers concerning the fact that he knew about the debris and still proceeded with constructing houses. He feels that city staff knew about the debris and should have done something about it sooner. Community Development Director Tom Humphrey explained the decision the Council made at the last meeting instructing staff to proceed with citations for burying the debris according to CPMC. He also stated that SJL approached the City fast year and asked if the easement for a berm could be vacated. At that time staff informed him that it was a private easement and he would have to discuss it with Mr. Grove. Apparently, Mr. Grove proceeded with the vacation. The buried debris was located in that easement. He stated that the Code Enforcement Officer and the City Attorney have decided there are no grounds to site Mr. Grove regarding the debris. DEQ has jurisdiction over this violation and they have fined Mr. Regan. Staff did not know the debris was buried until Mr. Bestul brought it to the attention of Code Enforcement Officer Ron Barnett and Building Official Lois DeBenedetti. Mayor Williams stated that the city did not know about the debris until it was brought before the Council a few months ago. There is nothing else for the city to do regarding this issue. V.

The development proposes private streets with access from Snowy Butte Lane. One lot will be late in open space and sidewalks will be extended into the development. The Commission imposed conditions that included compliance with building code and local agency approvals as well as the preparation and submittal of a landscaping and irrigation plan which includes the preservation of significant trees and the addition of new ones along the private street. Improvements on Snowy Butte Lane will not be deferred but will be developed in conjunction with road improvements that are being designed by an engineering firm hired by the City. The Commission approved a tentative land partition for three residential lots owned by Guy & Gloria Castellano. The subject tax lot is located at 460 Freeman Road, north of Cedar Street in the R-1-6, Residential Single Family zone. The Commission fielded questions from adjacent property owners about the addition of two new homes to the neighborhood. They imposed conditions that guaranteed the logical extension of infrastructure to the new tax lots and relied on staff to work out issues of privacy at the time of building construction. • The Commission continued an amendment to the previously approved Beebe Woods PUD. Gordon and Erma Layton are asking to include their property in the PUD as Phase IV which would add four single family "attached units" and bring the development's total to 107 lots. The subject tax lots are located east of Hamrick Road and between Parkwood Village Lane and Brookdale Avenue in the R-2, Residential Two-Family zone. The additional lots and the Layton's home site would take their access from Live Oak Loop, which is a private street in the PUD.
