WEST LINN CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE FILE NO. MISC-19-09

WEST LINN CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE FILE NO. MISC-19-09 The West Linn City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Monday, March 9, 2020, starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 22500 Salamo Road, West Linn, to consider a request by Brian & Julianne Inger Babcock to vacate 4,358 square feet of right-of-way directly adjacent to tax lots 1400 (22995 Bland Circle) and 11600 (City Owned Tract K) of Assessor’s Maps 21E 35BA and 21E 26C. The application was filed on November 11, 2019. The hearing is a two-step process. The first step is validating the petition: determining whether the requisite consent signatures were obtained and the proper notice posted and published. The second step is to determine whether the public interest is, or is not, prejudiced by approving the vacation of the right of way. The City Council hearing shall be conducted per CDC Chapter 99 and the decision shall be based upon the approval criteria found in Oregon Revised Statute 271.120. At the hearing, all written or oral comments must relate specifically to the applicable approval criteria. The complete application in the above noted file is available for inspection at no cost at City Hall or via the web site at https://westlinnoregon.gov/planning/22995-bland-circle-street-vacation-killarney-drive, or copies can be obtained for a minimal charge per page. At least ten days prior to the hearing, a copy of the staff report will be available for inspection at no cost, or copies can be obtained for a minimal charge per page. For further information, please contact Jennifer Arnold, Associate Planner, at City Hall, 22500 Salamo Road, West Linn, OR 97068, jarnold@westlinnoregon.gov, or 503-742-6057. Anyone wishing to present written testimony on this proposed action may do so in writing prior to, or at the public hearing. The City Council may continue the public hearing to another meeting to obtain additional information, leave the record open for additional evidence, arguments, or testimony, or close the public hearing and take action on the application as provided by state law. Failure to raise an issue in person or by letter at some point prior to the close of the hearing, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue, precludes an appeal based on that issue.
