I Resolution No. 2067 - Initiating boundary change and transmitting to Boundary Commission request to annex Oakway Golf Course property, was submitted. Manager explained that the area includes the entire Oakway golf course, plus the Cal Young home site on Cal Young Road in the Planning Commission recommendation. - The recommendation included the understanding that sewers will not be available . to certain portions of the property until facilities are constructed. Councilman Mohr suggested that precedent set by moratorium on annexation in the .South Ridge area would be applicable in this instance because of anticipated increase in traffic across the Ferry Street Bridge from the proposed housing de- ,velopment on the property. He suggested possible postponement of the annexation because of several unknown factors with regard to development in the area. Mr. Williams concurred, saying that traffic flow from Franklin: Boulevard, practically at a standstill now, raises the question of how to handle additional traffic which would be generated. Mrs. Campbell asked about sewer service for the property. She noted the incon- sistency of rot approving annexation of this area when adoption of the 1990 Plan advocates development of property within the service boundary. Public Works Director said about one-third of the property can be serviced at this time, the balance will have to await construction of the East Bank Trunk. Councilman Hershner also commented upon the inconsistency of recommending denial of this annexation. He said this property is clearly within the urban service boundary and contiguous to the City. To deny its annexation, he said, would have the practical effect of saying no annexation will be allowed until there are . adequate services. Mr. Williams said he feels the same dichotomy for the 1990 Plan and its goals. But his main concern is that there seems to be no transportation plan for moving people in and out of the area. He said the choices are to adopt ESATS, or some revision of it, or make an eight-lane road across the Ferry Street Bridge, this in order to have some clear pattern for moving traffic. Mr. Hershner agreedcthere should be planning going on, but at the same time he contends annexation of small properties here and there add up to the same problem. He doesn't feel it is proper to deny annexation or delay it because of size of the development when it is an area which should properly be within the City. Councilman T-eague asked if the- pro'perty. could be developed in the--sarne -manner iif it stayed within the County, whether the City has more control than the \County on development of the property, and if development could be curtailed, if annexed, because of anticipated traffic increase. Manager said development I lof the property under County r~gulations probably has not been discussed, but lit would appear it could not go ahead because it could not be served by a septic 'tank system. Perhaps a standard subdivision could be constructed under those . icondi tions. If it is developed under City regulations, there would be control lover the physical features. The development could proceed so long as it met the 1requirements of the Planning Commission with regard to planned units. j Mr. Teague mentioned a recent development at Norkenzie and Minda refused because iof anticipated traffic increase. Manager said rezoning was refused, no annexa- ;tion was involved in that instance. There has been no rezoning proposed for I .the Oakway Golf Course property. He reminded the Council of consideration of other annexations where it was deemed inappropriate to discuss land use. However, I a planned unit development is anticipated for this property. I Public Works Director in answer to Councilmen Hershner said the portion of prop- \erty to be served with sewers is that bordering Oakway and Cal Young Roads to about a 400 foot depth. .Councilman Williams suggested that the Council direct staff to bring to the Council some clear answer with regard to moving traffic across the Ferry Street bridge. Manager said the only definitive study available is ESATS which is based 'on assumption that this property would be developed on an R-l density. With :planned unit developments, higher densities on larger tracts of land are being created, and if the current trend continues ESATS would not provide sufficient ,movement for 1985-90 unless additional transportation facilities are made avail- . able. There is no further study at this time with which to answer this question. The proposed development for Oakway, he said, can be handled with existing road- ways plus projected roadways (improvement of Oakway, extension of Norkenzie, etc.), but if the entire Willakenzie area were to be developed at these densities, there is no way of knowing how the traffic would be handled.
