Request to Submit Testimony re PDT 13-1 <br />and Precautionary, Objections <br />August 21, 2015 <br />Eugene Planning Commission <br />c/o Gabe Flock, Planner <br />City of Eugene <br />99 West 10th Avenue, <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />Submitted by: Sandy Thoms <br />135 Oakleigh Lane <br />Eugene, OR 97404 <br />Re: City File No. PDT 13-1; Oakleigh PUD <br />Testimony for re-opened record <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />I am requesting to be allowed to submit testimony on behalf of our neighborhood appeals group, <br />including evidence and argument, into the record for the above mentioned case. <br />On August 17, 2015, the Eugene Planning Commission (EPC) voted to re-open the record. However, the <br />EPC limited who could submit testimony to the applicant, Simon Trautman, and their respective <br />representatives. The original appellants should also be allowed to submit testimony. <br />ORS 197.763(7) requires: <br />When a local governing body, planning commission, hearings body or hearings officer reopens a <br />record to admit new evidence, arguments or testimony, any person may raise new issues which <br />relate to the new evidence, arguments, testimony or criteria for decision-making which apply to <br />the matter at issue. <br />Allowing the applicant and Mr. Trautman to submit additional evidence and argument without also <br />allowing me and other participants in this matter to submit testimony would be unfair and prejudice my <br />substantial rights. <br />As a precautionary measure, I am objecting to the EPC rejecting my forthcoming testimony, including new <br />evidence submitted by August 31, 2015 and arguments submitted by the deadline set by the EPC. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Sandy Thoms <br />23 <br />
