COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2019 | 11A Two-day climate series event to be held in Cottage Grove On Friday, Nov. 8, from 7 to 9 p.m., there will be a free screening of the multi award-winning documen- tary “A Plastic Ocean,” fol- lowed by a presentation from David Gardiepy. Released in 2016 by ex- plorers Craig Leeson and Tanya Streeter and a team of international scientists, “Plastic Ocean” is a docu- mentary film that demon- strates the staggering scope of the environmental disas- ter affecting all the oceans of the planet. The team travelled to 20 locations around the world over four years to ex- plore the fragile state of the oceans, discover alarming truths about plastic pol- lution and reveal working solutions that can be ap- plied now. After the film, Gardiepy will give a presentation on recycling — both plastics and curbside — as well as discuss how waste driven by over-consumerism is impacting the planet and ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Gardiepy, who was fea- tured in a recent edition of The Cottage Grove Sentinel, founded the local nonprof- it EcoGeneration to devel- op collection solutions for plastics in our community. He hosts recycling efforts, addressing the serious need for plastic recycling options in Lane County. The film will be shown at the Cottage Grove Com- munity Center, 700 E Gibbs Ave., in Cottage Grove. Then, on Sat., Nov. 9, there will be a plastics col- lection event hosted by EcoGeneration at the Cot- tage Grove Armory, 628 E Washington Ave., from 1 to 4 p.m. EcoGeneration will be collecting #2, 4 and 5 plas- tics that are clean and label free. Bring recyclable plas- tics or simply drop by to learn more about EcoGen- eration’s collection program or to get involved as a vol- unteer. Both free events are hosted by Climate Action CG, EcoGeneration, Forest Web,and Sustainable Cot- tage Grove. from A1 unrealistic goals or con- cerns. “It could potentially cause people to be con- cerned about something that isn’t even physically possible,” he said. Additional open houses to discuss the changes are planned for November, though no dates are set in stone. The audit committee’s final recommendations are expected to be pre- sented at the Dec. 20 Planning Commission meeting, at which point more public comment may be submitted. Stewart encouraged the public to attend the next open house, learn about the changes and feel free to comment. “I think it’s important for people in the com- munity to be involved in the way the commu- nity grows,” he said, “to share their thoughts and concerns and what their hopes and aspirations are for the community they live in.” Public comments are not restricted to the open house events. Comments can be sent directly to Stewart at pwdirector@ cottagegrove.org or City Planner Amanda Fergu- son at planner@cottage- grove.org. Codes Along with code chang- es, the committee has recommended adding new definitions such as “cottage clusters,” group- ings of no fewer than four detached housing units; “townhouses,” partly defined as a dwell- ing unit constructed in a row of two or more at- tached units; and “middle hous-ing,” a classification which includes duplex- es, triplexes, quadplexes, cottage clusters and town- houses. Stewart said that code changes will allow for the greater feasibility of cot- tage clusters by making criteria “clear and objec- tive” while making the developments available for a full range of residen- tial zones. The potential for medi- um density developments in the community such as multi-family homes will also be opened up by making projects finan- cially viable. Planning staff have also done away with maxi- mum density limits to units per acre, numbers which Stewart said could unintentionally promote MEDICARE ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN!
