.., e '/7 I i[ 11 I. 'I II I' in the area' than the Lane Community College, and with the Institute propertygutsige the proposed urban services boundary, they feel they would not be able to provide for all facilities which ,would be required in the future for development of the 'Institute at that location. They still feel it is a uni versi ty or college type development and an appropriate use for the area. He objected to the language in the amendment which specifies any other development in the area would be in conflict with the Plan be- cause it is too restrictive and would invite a type of law suit which would jeoparize its adoption. He also objected to the wording "subsequent're-evaluations of the Plan should reconsider the appropriateness of the 'rural' area designation of the Basin" saying the Insti tute would be nervous about the type of development which might come about under that language. Ii 1:1 I If I Ii II i Ii Ed Fadeley, attorney, spoke with regard to Item 3 of the recommendation, saying if the amendment is adopted allowing orily Lane Community College in that area and denying other universities and colleges without guidelines or standards to determine whether certain uses would or would not be allowed, it would constitute unequal treatment. He 'said other uses are already in existence in the area, referring to the garden apartments, so that there is already development other than rural, and that if the standard to be used for prohibiting further development is ,cost of extending public services, then the language should be changed to reflect that. He said the wording in the amendment would not prohibit Lane Community College from expanding by building and renting to the Institute. e I Mr. Hoffman said he would prefer to see the entire Basin in public domain if the in- tent of the Plan is to keep the Basin rural in nature, then the public could decide the uses to be permitted. He said the area will no doubt be developed but the lan~c guagf#,of the Plan as now proposed will. not prevent "urban sprawl ~ Mrs. Beal asked about the adequacy of the sewage lagoon, whether it would serve an indefinite period of time. ,The Public Works Director said certain contractual relation- ships exist between private parties on the'capacity of the lagoon, and the City'has worked only with a consulting firm hired by the County to make alternate plans con- cerned with whether LCC would outgrow that lagoon. Mr. Fadeley said it is a matter of contractual rights to use of the lagoon between ,the LCC Board and the Institute, and the LCC,Board has given the right to 3/7ths of the lagoon to the Institute through,conrractual arrangements in which the rights are shared by LCC, the garden, apartments, and land to the west. He sai d he would mail copies of the brief having to do with that arrangement to Council members. In answer to Mrs. Beal~ he said that basically the only City services the Institute needs are water and electri ci ty. I Mrs. Beal said she would like to haverore, information from the Public Works Depart- ment on the adequacy of the lagoon and easements pertaining'to its use. She said she feels location of. the Institute ,in the Basin is an excellent use for,this particular area even though the 1990 Plan seems to prohibit it"and that it seems the question would have to be pursued as to whether the lagoon is adequate for further development. Mr. Fadeley said there is limitation on other development insofar as all the rights to the lagoon have been contracted for. Councilman Mohr commented that questions of this nature should be covered at a publi c hearing. e Mrs. Margaret Patoine said she is a 'member of the 1990 Plan steering committee and that there should be rebuttal to Mr. Hoffman's and Mr. Fadeley's presentations, but Council- man,Mohr ruled.,any further.discussion out of order until pbblic'hearings are held. It was understood the 1990 Plan'would have public hearing at joint sessions of the Eugene and Springfield Councils and Lane County Board of Commissioners with prior briefing sessions and possible tour of the boundaries. Comm 2/16/72 Affirm J. Committee Meeting, South Eugene High.- 'Manager asked if the Council would accept'an' invi tation to hold a committee-of-the-whole meeting at the ,South Eugene High School cafeteria to prouide students there-, an' opportunity to observe the Council at work. Mrs. Beal questioned the acoustics; Mr. Glen Stadler, EWEB, said'there is a speaker system. Mr. Teague commented that the general public knows the Council normally meets at the Eugene Hotel and said he thinks if a special meeting were held it would be better than the regular meeting on' Wednesday. Mrs. Campbell said she would be in favor of it,if there was some assurance the entire Council would be' present. I It ,was understood Manager would investigate' accommodations and facilities before a commi tment is made. Comm 2/16/72 Affirm ,I :1 K. 1990 General Plan Joint Hearing - Manager said Chairman Ken Omlid of the Lane County commission suggested March 20, 21, or 22, 1972 for joint hearing of the 1990 General Plan. Council members present favored March 22 and that date was tentatively set.' e Mrs. Beal asked if the ESATS plan would be considered before hearing the 1990 Plan or as a,part of it., Mayor,Anderson said'the sa~e format would probably be followed that the,Planning Commission used, and that although the ESATS p1an'per se would not be a 2/28/72 - 11 1.1
