Public Hearing Sept. 21 for proposed Sander Estate masterplan

CPRD is excited to announce that the vision for Sander Estate is now at the public hearing stage. Anyone who is interested in the future of this Dundee property is encouraged to take part in the review. Read on for details.

An application has been submitted for a Park Master Plan (PMP) for a 6.7-acre public park at 359 5th Street, across from the elementary school, on the former Sander property that is now owned by Chehalem Parks and Recreation District. Dundee City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the Park Master Plan application, scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, at the Dundee Fire Station Community Meeting Room, 801 Highway 99W in Dundee. You are invited to take part in the review of this project by submitting written comments or by testifying at the public hearing. The decision criteria are in the Dundee Development Code: Section 17.203.130, E.

TAX LOT: 3326DA-00100
FILE No: PMP 21-01

NOTE: The city asks that written comments be submitted before 5:00 p.m. on September 9, 2021 and they will be included in the packet sent to the City Council. Written comments received after that date will not be included in the packet, but will be forwarded to the Councilors as they are received. 

If you mail your comments to the City, please put the following case file number on the outside of the envelope: PMP 21-01.

Mail the written comments to:

City of Dundee                
Attn: Planner
PO Box 220
Dundee, OR  97115

You can review the application materials and drop off comments at the Dundee City Hall, 620 SW Fifth Street. You can also buy copies of the materials for 25 cents per page. A copy of the City’s staff report with its recommendation to the City Council will be available at least seven days before the hearing.  If you have questions, please contact the Interim City Planner, Jim Jacks, at 1 503-540-1619 or via email at jjacks@mwvcog.org.

Any issue which might be raised in an appeal of this case to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) must be raised during the City Council’s public hearing. You must include enough detail to enable the decision makers an opportunity to respond. Comments must be directed toward the decision criteria. The decision criteria for a Park Master Plan are in the Dundee Development Code, Section 17.203.130, E.  Prior to the conclusion of the evidentiary hearing, any participant may request the hearing be continued or that the record be left open to present additional evidence, arguments or testimony.  Failure of an issue to be raised in person at the hearing or by letter, or failure to provide statements or evidence sufficient to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals based on that issue.

The City Council will make an oral decision at the end of the public hearing which will be reduced to a written City Council Order signed by the Mayor within about 2-weeks. If you participate in the public hearing process, either by testifying at the public hearing, or submitting written comments, the City will send you and the applicant information about the City Council’s decision and the opportunity to appeal.
