<br />s. :Status Report, ~outh Hills Density and Ridgeline Park StuEJi. - Jim Saul, planner and;)
<br />project director for the South Hills study, outlined the purpose of the project _
<br />,to investigate the feasibility of a ridge line park and gather data on which to base "
<br />~, recommendations on density levels in the South Hills. A land use inventory in the '
<br />~ area has been completed. Contract was made with the University of Oregon to identify
<br />natural conditions - geological, hydrological, soils, vegetation - to determine po_
<br />tential development hazards in terms of visual appearance and to point up any special!
<br />' , I
<br />area which would be considered unique and important to preserve. Mr. Saul displayed i
<br />, f
<br />slides of the major ridge line running from east. to. west taken as seen from the area'
<br />cr itSelf" aner-as seen from "the northern -part oii:he-cTty~-- He ais~ silOwe-;Tpi-a.'tes q,-
<br />indicating results of the study as they relate to evaluations of geological forma~:
<br />,tions, degree of slopes, ridge lines, hydrological features, vegetation, and a
<br />composite showing degree of visibility of the ridge from the City. The study is
<br />considered about two-thirds complete and is producing certain factual information,
<br />,the combination of which will give a rational basis for decisions on development
<br />in that area.

<br />":Mayor Anderson asked the time schedule for completion and whether another status \ File
<br />::;report was planned prior to finishing the study. Mr. Saul felt the project would Ii
<br />':be completed and ready for recommendation to the Council by the December 1973 dead- ':-
<br />~jline. He anticipated another summary in September. He added that the report was ,/

<br />T. Left-turn Pocket, 18th and Oak Patch - Copies of memo from Traffic Engineer were Comm

<br />U. Environmental Impact Statement, Highway 126 - Letter from F. B. Klaboe, State High-
<br />way Engineer, was read wherein he stated the State is one to one and a half years
<br />away from preparation of the impact statement on Highway 126. Research assistant ,
<br />".' has been ,assigned to compile background data which probably accounts for the mis- h
<br />understanding prompting City's question about appointment of local committee to '
<br />,work with the State's team.
<br />I
<br />Councilman Murray wondered about the timing of the impact statement in view of the
<br />;ESATS update. Manager said the ESATS information would give projected movement
<br />;needs from point to point and suggest quality or level of facility to meet those
<br />Ineeds whereas the impact statement would concern itself with the desirability of ,Comm
<br />;a particular project at a particular location. Public Works Director added that ; 7/25/73
<br />-,much of the information produced in the ESATS updating would provide a basis for , File
<br />r.:;; ,
<br />~ lenvironmental impact statements themselves, so that that work should be completed i
<br />ibefore the statement is undertaken. \
