IV-A-7 t ~ within the entire area. If it were~ we would be here till the year 2000, developing a plan. The staff feels very strongly that the Goal 5 analysis is perhaps too explicit already and any more specificity might put us outside the context of the General Plan. Gretchen Miller felt the Goal 5 issues were frustrating to many because the way the LCDC procedure developed gave the Goal 5 procedures an extra handicap, and there was less time spent working on these issues as compared to time spent on others, i. e., commercial land applications. She urged finding a common language that all could agree on -- tonight. If this was not done, there would be no hope for getting the Plan to Salem in the time left. I n her opinion, the Eugene Planning Commission had put some specific language in the Plan that hopefully all could agree on, which would also trigger further procedures. It would be impossible to send it back to the Elected Officials Coordinating Committee. Therefore, unless some wanted to constitute themselves an ad hoc committee to decide this matter by the next morning, there would have to be some Plan language that all could agree to. That Plan language might have to be someth ing that admitted that they did not have all the answers at that point but that they were going to continue to try to find them. She believed the Planning Commission had done this but she would listen to other suggestions. Q: Jerry Rust Ms. Miller, was the Eugene Planning Commission suggesting that we submit a Plan with holes in it -- with language that says we are continuing to study these particular areas? A: Gretchen Miller Recommendation 4 suggests the County deal with the Greenway permit issue. Recommendation 5 makes it clear that the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the owner need to develop controls through the mining permit procedure. These recommendations imply to me that we don't have all the answers at this point. Jerry Rust stated that this would give a primary designation of sand and gravel to the island. He felt everyone should take the time to have more meetings before such a broad designation was put on the island. He urged that judgments be held aside until all desired information was gathered. Vance Freeman replied that the Coordinating Committee and Metro Team staff had worked on this problem. In his opinion, there are plenty of checks and balances in the Greenway process and site review. Further, with all the restrictions, there was no need to worry about loopholes. He concurred with the staff on the recommendations they set forth. Gene Hulett also affirmed recommendations 4 and 5 took care of the matter. He stated that if these two points were made any more detailed, all the other areas in the Plan would have to be more specific as well.
