Draft 9/29/14 9 Local and state governments shall continue to provide adequate public access to the Willamette River Greenway. D.10 Aggregate extraction may be permitted when compatible with purposes of Statewide Planning Goal 15. Local governments shall continue, through land use planning and special regulations, to control aggregate extraction to minimize adverse effects of extraction on water quality, fish and wildlife, vegetation, bank stabilization, stream flow, scenic quality, noise, and safety. D.11 The taking of an exception shall be required if a non-water-dependent transportation facility requires placing of fill within the Willamette River Greenway setback. An exception to Statewide Planning Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway was approved for Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for purposes of removing and replacing the decommissioned 1-5 Bridge, the temporary detour bridge and the Canoe Canal bridge with two new parallel bridges (one southbound and one northbound) within the 1-5 right-of-way crossing the Willamette River and Canoe Canal and within the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line. The exception authorizes construction and later removal of one or more temporary work bridges; demolition of the decommissioned 1-5 Willamette River Bridge, Canoe Canal Bridge, and detour bridges; construction of the two replacement bridges; reconstruction of the roadway approaches to the bridges (1- 5 and ramps); rehabilitation of the project area; and completion of any required mitigation of project impacts. In association with these tasks, the exception further authorizes within the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line the addition and removal of fill within ODOT right-of-way and the removal of fill within a temporary slope easement east of 1-5. This exception satisfies the criteria of Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-004-0022(6) Willamette Greenway and the exception requirements of OAR 660-004-0020 Goal 2, Part II (c) for a “reasons” exception, and pursuant to OAR 660- 004-0015, is hereby adopted as an amendment to the Metro Plan text, Policy D.11, Chapter III, Section D. An exception to Statewide Planning Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway was approved by the cities of Eugene and Springfield and by Lane County authorizing construction of a bike path viaduct beneath the I-5 bridges, along the south bank of the Willamette River. The exception authorizes construction of the bike path viaduct including the fill and removal of fill necessary to build the structure. This exception satisfies the criteria of Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 660-004-0022 (6) Willamette Greenway and the exception requirements of OAR 660-004-0020 Goal 2, Part II (c) for a “reasons” exception. Pursuant to OAR 660-004-0015, this exception is hereby adopted as an amendment to the Metro Plan text, Policy D.11, Chapter III, Section D. III-D-5 Replaced December 31, 2009
