FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SUBJECT: SANITARY SEWER, TRENCH REPAIR AND PAVING IN PRAIRIE ROAD FROM BELTLINE ROAD TO KAISER A VENUE (JOB #3437) BACKGROUND On March 4, 1991, the Eugene City Council held a public hearing to consider approval of the Highway 99 North policy and annexation agreement. The purpose of the agreement was to regulate annexations and make provision for urban services in the unincorporated portions of the Highway 99 North industrial area. The Council approved a motion directing the City Manager to execute agreements and undertake other steps necessary to meet the conditions that would allow the City to begin constructing sewers in the area and allow property owners to connect to the sewers when they were completed. All the steps described in the Council's motion have been achieved. In April of 1991, the Industrial Corridor Community Organization (ICCO) and the City of Eugene entered into an agreement to develop a plan to provide a wastewater collection system and implement an annexation program for properties within the Industrial Corridor. This agreement provides that both developed and undeveloped properties outside the City limits and within the Urban Growth Boundary will have to submit a delay of effective date annexation agreement to the City of Eugene to connect to the wastewater system. As the City moved toward achieving the conditions outlined in the Council's motion, the City also began an interest survey among the property owners in the area, seeking to gauge the property owner's readiness to have sewers connected and be annexed to the City. The first petition received by the City was dated October 20,1994, which was followed by a city improvement response form dated Aug. 1996. The Industrial Corridor is generally that triangular-shaped area located within the acknowledged Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Eugene bounded on the west by the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Urban Growth Boundary, on the east by the Northwest Expressway, on the north by Awbrey Lane and on the south by the existing city limits, south of Beltline. The Industrial Corridor is a clearly defined area, caused primarily by the parallel northwest -southeast orientation of three highways and two railroads serving the area. The primary land use in the area is industrial, although there are other uses and some undeveloped property. The developed properties in the area are now served by individual on site sewage disposal systems regulated by Lane County and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The City's policy, reflected in the Council's motion of March 4,1991, and refined since that time, is that all properties in the area should be served by the city / MWMC wastewater treatment system by the year 2000, and be annexed to the City by 2010. New development in the Industrial Corridor area is expected to connect to the sewer system at the time of development and receipt SANIT AR Y SEWER, TRENCH REPAIR AND PAVING IN PRAIRIE ROAD FROM BEL TLINE TO KAISER A VENUE - FORMA TION OF A LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Page 1
