e ~ 30fi 5/8/67 I 1 2. Planning Commission Report - May 2, 1967 a. Willakenzie Interim Land Use Plan - The Planning Commission recommended adoption of the January 1967 Interim Land Use Plan for the Willakenzie area, prepared by the Central Lane Planning Council and copies previously distributed to Council members, subject to the following conditions: (1) That the area between Coburg Road and the Valley River Shopping Center be devoted to low-density multiple- family housing; (2) that the area at Belt Line Road and Coburg Road remain R-l or RA; (3) that the area west of the Delta Highway and south of Belt Line Road is considered by the Commission to be lano for potential commercial developments requiring large areas for operation; and (4) that the Commission would favor ap- plications for low-density multiple-family housing for areas along arterials which would serve as buffers for commercial and residential districts. It was agreed a Council hearing should be held on the Land Use Plan before Lane County's hearing on May 17 concerning a rezoning petition in conflict with the Plan. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to hold the hearing at the May 8, 1967 Council meeting. Motion carried. e David Pedersen, planner for Central Lane Planning Council, explained the method used in developing the Interim Land Use Plan, requested because of the rapidly changing character of the Wil1akenzie area, and pointed out the salient features of the Plan, explaining the planned zoning for various districts in the area. He said the Central Lane Planning Council recommended adoption of the Interim Plan with the policy amendments made by the City Planning Commission. I Rev. David White, member of the Willakenzie Residents Association, presented a stateme~ from the Association favoring adoption of the Interim Plan, and recommended no change in the area until the present study of the entire metropolitan area is completed. Jack Gardner, attorney representing Kendall Ford~ stated his clients did not feel they had been given an opportunity to make a presentation to the City Planning Commission in favor of commercial rezon~ng of the area between Delta Highway and Country Club Road, in conflict with the Land Use Plan. He asked that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission to allow Kendall Ford to present evidence supporting their petition. Vince Farina, chairman of the Eugene Planning Commission, said the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Interim Land Use Plan, and that so far as the rezoning of the proposed Kendall Ford property, the legal decision lies with the County since the area is outside although immediately ad- j acent to the City limits. He ,urged adoption of the Plan as presented by the Commission. Walter DeMartini, co-owner of Kendall Ford, said his firm was not granted the opportunity to meet in- formally with the City Planning Commission to present evidence on the zoning of the particular parcel in which they are interested. He asked Mr. Pedersen to point out specific changes in the Plan which have occurred since 1959. The City Manager read a portion of the Planning Commission minutes referring to Kendall Ford's pres- entation. I Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Anderson to approve the Interim Lane Use Plan and place emphasis on the conditions included by the Eugene Planning Commission. Motion'carried, Mr. McDonald voting no. 2 3. Trunk Sewer, Valley River Shopping Center - The Public Works Director outlined plans for construction of a trunk sewer from the pumping station south of Belt Line Road to serve an area between the Delta Highway and the Willamette River in the process of being an- nexed to the City, and said this trunk could be extended along Goodpasture Island Road to serve the Valley River Shopping Center and other areas to the east at an estimated cost of $476,550. Or the trunk could be constructed in stages with a section being constructed from the east at an estimated cost of $114,000 to complete the portion which would be placed underneath this summer's road construction.' Construction of the entire trunk rather than in sections was recommended in order to more efficiently provide for long-range sewerage of a larger area. He said it could be constructed in conjunction with County improvement of Goodpasture 'Island Road north of the Center. Cost of the sewer up to 8 inches will be assessed to abutting properties, with the balance to come from sewer bond ,funds, and Valley River paying about $35,000. e Wayne Shields, developer of the Shopping Center, said they were willing to sign an an- nexation petition but would want to be a~sured no action would be taken on it until the Center's completion, since they have negotiated with the County on paving Good- pasture Island Road and want to stay under County jurisdiction until Valley River is ready for occupancy. I The City Attorney said it would be necessary to petition annexation simultaneously with the award of contract for construction of the sewer. Mayor Cone suggested posting a performance bond. H. A. Anderson, co-developer of the Shopping Center, cited advantages he felt would accrue to the City from the Center's construction. Councilman Lassen in- quired about keeping track of the progress of the Center's construction, drawing several comments concerning similarity between County and City inspection and the fact that both operate under the Uniform BuildingCode. - Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Dr. Purdy that, since it would be advantageous to construct the sewer before Goodpasture Island Road is paved by the County, the staff work with the Valley River people and bring back a proposal, and that the matter of annexation of the area be referred to the Planning Commission. Motion carried. 5/8/67~e~
