Cottage Grove Police Department 24-Hour Anonymous Tip Line: 767-0504 March 14 CITY BEAT 5A Transportation plan hearing Lane County Planning Commission considered the Cottage Grove Transporta- tion System Plan update at its March 15 public hear- ing. Co-adoption by Lane County is required, as the plan includes County land in the Cottage Grove Urban Growth Boundary. Commu- nity Development Director Howard Schesser attended the hearing and was the only who spoke on the matter. Commissioners had a few clarifi cation questions and voted to forward a positive recommendation to the Board of Commissioners to approve the plan and co-adopt it. The public hearing before and the consideration of co-adoption will be scheduled for some time in April. Those inter- ested can view the plan at: http://cottagegrovetsp.org/. City Engineer Ron Bradsby, Community Development Director Howard Schesser and City Planner Amanda Ferguson attended Local Im- pact Development implemen- tation training, which aims to teach ways to implement the template that has been de- veloped by 16 agencies over the last two years. The goal was to develop a guide that is aimed at western Oregon and the needs and limita- tions of smaller jurisdictions. Trying to adapt storm water programs from large jurisdic- tions for smaller jurisdictions has not been successful. The partners have developed a template and guide called: “LOW IMPACT DEVEL- OPMENT IN WESTERN OREGON – A Practical Guide for Watershed Health.” The guide will assist smaller jurisdictions in developing a storm water program, includ- ing erosion and sediment control, in order to meet their obligations under the Clean Water Act. Jurisdictions can use the guide, which has a cafeteria style of best man- agement practices, to develop their ordinances for storm water requirements. City staff will now start preparing the ordinances for storm water regulations. The guide can be viewed on line at: http://www.deq.state. or.us/wq/tmdls/lidmanual. htm. Large tree blocks bike path Last week, Public Works personnel noticed that a fairly large tree had fallen across the bike path at approximate- ly the seven-mile marker. The tree was cut into smaller sections and moved to the side of the trail. The BLM was notifi ed about the tree, and the City is seeking per- mission from them to further cut-up the tree and donate the fi rewood to the local Kiwanis Club. The Cottage Grove area re- ceived approximately 6-plus inches of rain over the past several days. This amount of rain, coupled with high winds, brings down numer- ous trees that have to be dealt with.
