e each direction and a center turn lane), on-street bike lanes (five to six feet wide), and sidewalks. Half of the existing 80-foot right-of-way would be dedicated. Mr. Reinhard said staff will work with Lane County on the section that has not been annexed to the city. He explained that Lane County's road plans include developing Terry Street as a minor arterial from West 11th Avenue, but that renewed concerns about wetlands may keep this from occurring. He said that Terry Street is also planned to eventually extend from Barger Drive to Roosevelt Boulevard. Ms. Bascom felt development of the Terry Street arterial was important be- cause Bethel-Danebo's relatively flat neighborhood had significant potential for generating bike traffic. Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Ms. Heinkel said the estimated $81,000 which would be generated from parks systems development revenue was based on the standard systems development charges (SDCs) rate schedule ap- plied to 250 units. Mr. MacDonald reminded councilors of concerns regarding the SDC's parks systems development charge and exclusion of regional facili- ties. He suggested that the council revisit the parks systems development charges at a future meeting. Mr. Boles asked staff for a follow-up to deter- mine if the revenue generated from the SDCs was adequate to cover the acqui- sition cost of the park. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. e Al Johnson, 767 Willamette Street, representing the applicant, expressed support for the request. Using an aerial photograph taken April 1991, he pointed out the property under consideration. He indicated that the State is considering barring access to Beltline Road from Royal Avenue. Responding to a question from Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Johnson said the residential lands inventory recently completed identifies 10 percent of the property as having hydric soils but that soil maps indicate that 40 percent of the prop- erty contains hydric soils. He said there have been substantial changes in the hydrology due to development and that wetlands consultants and soil con- servationists have surveyed the land. He noted that soil conservationists have recently been directed to discontinue wetlands delineations because of changes in regulations. He said The Capital Press, a statewide agricultural newspaper, indicated in this week's publication that definitional issues may not be resolved for another 18 months. He said there would be potential to preserve open area on the property, as it can provide up to 350 units. Responding to questions, Mr. Johnson said the projection of Terry Street as an arterial presumes that it will be accessed via West 11th Avenue. He de- scribed potential traffic patterns if this occurred. Mayor Miller closed the public hearing. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 28, 1991 Page 3
