raucous noise, or any noise which unreasonably disturbs, injures, or endangers
the comfort, repose, health, peace, or safety of reasonable persons of ordinary
sensitivity; and
WHEREAS, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) intends to
construct major improvements to the Pacific Highway 99E and Young Street

WHEREAS, compliance with Ordinance 2312 would prohibit nighttime
construction activities on the Pacific Highway 99E and Young Street Intersection

to waive the requirements of Ordinance 2312 to facilitate the construction
activities needed for the Pacific Highway 99E and Young Street Intersection
Project; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF WOODBURN RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
