In Lola’s shops the powerful new racing machine for Newman/Haas takes shape: its form is milled and molded, and in time-lapse, the final creation is magically assembled on the plant floor by a team of technicians and engineers. Their third assignment of error claims that “Colvin failed to provide substantial evidence to prove that the negative impacts of the gas station and drive-thru on adjacent properties in terms of safety, noise, vibrations, exhaust-emissions and odor could be mitigated, or that any conditions of approval could sufficiently minimize these impacts to ensure that these uses could be compatible with surrounding uses and public facilities.Set against the drama of the track are two story lines that follow the remarkable craft of creating Indy cars: the restoration of a 1964 roadster - a thoroughbred once driven at Indianapolis - and the building of Michael Andretti’s state-of-the-art Indy car at the Lola car plant in England.
They also claim the “convenience commercial” zone is limited to small and medium-sized businesses that “provide for the frequent shopping and service needs of nearby residents.” While gas stations (and restaurant drive-thrus also part of the plans) are allowed as conditional uses, the foes claim the city erred “by finding that ‘need’ is not an approval criterion or standard” for such uses in CC zones. The petitioners list three “assignments of error.” First, they question whether the term “appropriate” is a site-specific criterion for conditional uses and say the city approved the permits without addressing the issue. doc linked below), four area residents appealed the city decision – which, if the foes prevail, would not stop the project, only remand (return) it back to the city for another decision process, to fix whatever issues the the state appeals board outlines.
They also pointed to the time crunch from a state-set 120-day deadline for any final local land-use decisions (or the proposing developer could have taken the city to court). They voted 5-2 not to hear the neighbors' appeal, as city staff noted any council decision likely would be appealed to LUBA anyway. For close to two years, a group of neighbors has been fighting the gas station’s inclusion in GP Energy/Colvin Oil’s planned retail (convenience commercial) development at the roundabout at Brosterhous and Murphy roads, citing environmental and traffic concerns and also arguing it’s not needed, with several existing gas stations not far away.Įarlier this year, after a city hearings officer approved the project, the foes took their case to the Bend City Council.
