The Scappoose Planning Commission and City Council have scheduled Legislative Land Use Public Hearings to solicit comments on proposed amendments to the City’s floodplain regulations that are required by state and federal law.

The purpose of the hearings is to take testimony, either written or oral, regarding the proposed amendments. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council and the City Council may approve, approve with modifications, or deny the proposed amendments following the Public Hearing.

Legislative changes to the Development Code may affect the use or value of property. Copies of the proposed amendments are available for inspection at City Hall (33568 E.

PUBLIC NOTICE

December 8th, 2009

CITY OF SCAPPOOSE
NOTICE OF PROPOSED ADVANCE FINANCING REIMBURSEMENT FOR SE 2ND STREET

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an informational public hearing will be held before the Scappoose City Council on Monday, December 21, 2009, at or about 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers located at Scappoose City Hall, to consider the following proposal:

Joseph Scharf of Rosedale Development LLC has requested that the City Council establish Advanced Financing Reimbursement relating to the future construction of SE 2nd Street between Frederick Street and Havlik Drive. The purpose of Advanced Financing Reimbursement is to provide a method of financial reimbursement to developers for a share of costs incurred in construction of public improvements that will benefit abutting property owners.

Rosedale Development proposes to construct 2nd Street and all associated utilities at its own cost. If the City Council adopts an advance financing resolution for this project, then abutting property owners would be liable for a proportionate share of the costs at such time as owners apply for connection to advance financed facilities or apply for building permits for projects that use an advance financed public improvement. Based on preliminary cost estimates, abutting property owners could be expected to pay approximately $1.50 per square foot of property area (plus interest). Final costs for property owners would depend on total actual construction costs.

The public hearing on this item will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 21, 2009, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 33568 E. Columbia Avenue, Scappoose, Oregon.  Citizens are encouraged to attend the public hearing to express their views pertaining to the proposed Advance Financed Public Improvement.

All information relative to this request can be viewed at the Community Development Center, located at 52610 NE 1st Street, Scappoose, OR, during regular business hours; please call for an appointment at (503) 543-7186.  Any written comments must be received by the City of Scappoose, City Recorder, 33568 E. Columbia Avenue, Scappoose, OR, 97056 by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, December 16, 2009.

The City of Scappoose does not discriminate on the basis of handicap status in its programs and activities.  If special accommodations are necessary, please contact the City Recorder at City Hall at (503) 543-7146.
