e e e from interstates and limited access roads. He said GI Joe's is located so that it would front on Beltline Road, and now the only sign it is permitted faces Green Acres Road. He said the Sign Code should protect neighborhood streets and permit businesses to communicate appropriately. He said the Van Duyn Company located in Eugene because it could be close to 1-5. He would like the community to take advantage of 1-5. He would like the Sign Code to permit businesses to get people off 1-5 with signs that represent the community appropriately. Ms. Bascom said she favors sandwich boards. Mayor Obie continued consideration of the sign code update to April 9, 1986. C. Annexation/Rezoning Request for Property Located on the North Side of Long Oak Drive, East of Ross Lane, from County RA Suburban Residential District to City RA Suburban Residential District (Lindsay/Widener) (AZ 85-5) (memo, map, background information distributed) e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced consideration of the annexation/ rezoning request. Jim Croteau of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said approval of the triple majority proposal was recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission. He reviewed the location of the property. He said the proposal involves six acres and three consenting property owners, but the owner of Tax Lots 5600 and 5601 has not consented to the annexation. He said the annexation of Tax Lots 5600 and 5601 would be appropriate because sewers will be installed in front of Tax Lots 5600 and 5601 and the resulting boundary will make fire and police protection easier because the entire south side of Long Oak Drive is in the city. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. John Neely Jr., 1600 Horn Lane, asked if commercial activity is permitted in the RA zoning district, if the City can provide a full range of urban services efficiently to the properties, and if Bancroft loans take first mortgage position on properties with a prior-dated first mortgage. There being no more requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Mr. Croteau said a home occupation exists on one of the lots in the proposal and Lane County has begun enforcement action. The provisions in the Eugene Code for home occupations are more liberal than those in the County's code and that is why the annexation was requested. He said the City can provide a full range of urban services to the properties. He said a Bancroft loan is a lien on the property equal to a lien for property taxes. Mr. Holmer said he visited the property and doubted whether the property is urbanizab1e because Long Oak Road is not complete, but he is glad annexation was requested because it will make a better boundary. He favored approval of the proposal. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 17, 1986 Page 10
