T h e course attem pts to put in to

given to owners when those changes
in zoing were made.
R o g e r K ir c h n e r , in f o r m a t io n

L a n d C o n s e rv a tio n an d D e v e lo p
m e n t (th e a d m in is tr a tiv e a rm o f
L C D C ) , says the Joint C o m m itte e is
t r y in g to re s p o n d to these c o n
cerns.
" Y o u have to p e rfo rm a balancing
act. H o w do you fac ilitate citizen in
volvement? T h e com m ittee is find ing
it's not as easy as changing a sentence
to m ake it clearer.
K irchn er says L C D C had several
p ro v is io n s as p a rt o f its o rig in a l
goals addressing types o f notice to be
g iv e n to p r o p e r ty o w n e rs w h e n
zoning decisions were m ade by the
L C D C b oard , but that the A tto rn e y
G eneral asked that they be deleted
because he felt the C om m ission had
no a u th o rity to direct local govern-
one against B a llo t M easu re 10. A
sim ilar in itiative was also defeated in
19 76 . T h e p e o p le h a v e in d ic a te d
c le a rly th ey do n o t w an t L C D C ’ s
goals and guidelines abolished.
Changes being considered by the
Joint Com m ittee would affect L C D C
G o a l 1 (C itize n In v o lve m e n t); G o a l 3
( A g r i c u l t u r a l L a n d s ); G o a l 10
(H o u sin g ); G o a l 14 (U rb a n iz a tio n ),
and G oal 16 (E stu arin e Resources).
T h o s e o p p o sed to L C D C h ave
lo n g c r itic iz e d w h a t th e y see as
in a d e q u a te p u b lic p a rtic ip a tio n in
the land use planning process.
Since 1973, when Senate B ill 100
es tab lis h e d the s e v e n -m e m b e r lay
c o m m is s io n , d is g ru n tle d p ro p e rty
owners have com plained about lack
ments to n o tify anyone.
" T h is n o tific a tio n p ro b le m has
been looked at in the 1975 and 1977
legislative sessions,” K irchner adds.
" I t 's not easily resolved. H o w can
you d e te rm in e w ho a c tu a lly owns
p ro p e rty ? M a n y p ro p e rtie s h ave
m ortgages held by banks and the
n o tificatio n s w ou ld end up in the
b a n k .”
O n e o f th e m o re c o n tro v e rs ia l
issues is the A g ricu ltu ral Lands goal.
D e p a rtm e n t s t a f f m e m b e r R o n
Eber says proposed changes in G oal
3 w o u ld a lt e r th e d e f in it io n o f
ag ricultural land.
" T h e current goal says that Class I
th ro u g h I V soils (a c la s s ific a tio n
system used by the U .S . Soil Conser
vation Service) are presumed to be
agricultural lands. A m endm ents now
being considered by the Joint C o m
m ittee call fo r a second analysis by
local o ffic ia ls .”
T h is second analysis w o u ld a d
dress th e p o te n tia l fo r m a k in g a
p ro fit fro m the land i f it rem ained in
ag ricultural p ro du ctio n, and would
allow changes in m arket conditions
to affect zoning decisions.
“ I f I ’ m grow ing w heat, fo r exam
p le ," E b e r e x p la in s , " a n d w heat
prices go bad, the land could be sub
divided. But that never gets to the
q u e s tio n o f w h e th e r I sh o u ld be
grow ing something else.”
Joint Legislative L an d Use C o m
m ittee m em ber N ancic Fadeley (D -
Eugene) says proposed changes in
the H ousing G o a l (10 ) w ould attem pt
to m ake sure there is sufficient lo w
cost housing fo r the people o f the
state.
" I t w o u ld p erm it m o b ile homes
a n d a p a r tm e n ts o n la n d n ow
d esig nated f o r single fa m ily resi
dences.”
As the only state representative on
the com m ittee w ho voted fo r Senate
B ill 100, F ad eley is su p p o rtiv e o f
L C D C ’s
o r ig in a l
g o a ls
and
guidelines.
" T h e re was a real good reason to
delegate au th o rity to L C D C , ” she
says. " I t takes too much tim e and
e x p e rtis e w ith a ll th e th in g s th e
Legislature has got to attend to , to
com e up w ith new goals.
" T h e Land Use C o m m ittee is very
c o n s e rv a tiv e . A ll o f the changes,
w ith o n e e x c e p tio n , h ave p r e tty
much been in opposition to w hat the
people expressed w ith the defeat o f
M easure 10.”
Since L C D C itself is supposed to
am end its goals, it is unclear w hat e f
fect th e c o m m itte e ’ s am en dm en ts
w o u ld have on the fin a l land use
p la n n in g process. T h e L eg islature
co u ld change the statute and then
am end the goals, or pass a law or
resolution requiring L C D C to m ake
changes in the goals and guidelines.
W h a te v e r it decides to d o , the

info rm ation about the role o f Blacks
in the 1970's.
Stokes believes it is im p o rtan t for
the course to begin w ith the study o f
A fric an cultures. " F o r a long tim e
there was an im age that A frican s had
contributed nothing to the w o rld . U p
to the 1960's textbooks usually began
their study o f Black w ith slavery. But
we need to understand what existed
before that tim e ,” he says.

carries th re e college c re d its , re ad
