B. Sycan B. Corporation (87-06-03) e Request for redesignation of .37 acres of community commercial and 5.78 acres of low-density residential to medium-density residential. Mr. Croteau reviewed the background information. The amendment was submitted to the Springfield Planning Department. He said access to the property and the traffic impact of the development are important concerns. Access is from Beltline Road and residents of the area are concerned about traffic on Colonial Drive and Raleighwood Avenue. The Springfield Planning Staff recommended that a larger area be included in the amendment but the Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County Planning Commissions recommended denial of the amendment. Answering questions from Ms. Ba scom and Mr. Holmer, Mr. Croteau said the applicant could submit another amendment during the Metro Plan Update. He sa i d there is some vacant land around the proposed development. The Springfield City Council has not indicated when it will act on the amendment. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Holmer said it would be helpful if the Springfield City Council took action on the amendment before the Eugene council does. Ms. Brody suggested the Eugene councilors discuss the amendment with the Springfield councilors after the public hearing on October 14, 1987. Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Croteau said the planning commissions recommended denial because of transportation problems and the proximity of the proposed medium-density development to existing low-density e development. Ms. Ehrman said the application was not very informative. C. Banfield Properties, Ltd. (MA 87-3) Request for redesignation of 10.4 acres from medium-density residential to commercial.
