<br />t! <br /> <br />t <br />F <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Jer,ry Rust MOVED and Scott Lieuallen SECONDED giving <br />"natural resource" status to the 37 acres, which contains the <br />upstream area and add it to the other area. <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Scott Lieuallen <br /> <br />Does the Board understand they are voting on <br />including the upland, as well as the wetland <br />part of Bertelsen Slough? <br /> <br />Q: Harold Rutherford I would like that explained very clearly to me, <br />as I am not sure what we are talking about. <br /> <br />A: Steve Gordon Referring to map in front of you, the <br />suggestion of the Department of Fish and <br />Wildlife is to expand this site to include all <br />those areas outlined in Figure 111-2 to the <br />natural resource designation. <br /> <br />A: Jerry Rust We have protected the marsh land. The City of <br />Eugene diked the Bertelsen Slough at one point <br />to back the water up. This has created a <br />significant habitat there. Upland from that is <br />the ash, cottonwood, oak, and willows which <br />provide additional important environments. <br />There is an interrelationsh ip between the <br />lowland and upland. <br /> <br />Q: Harold Rutherford Would the proposal given us by Mr. Williams <br />reduce the amount of land recommended by <br />staff? <br /> <br />A: Steve Gordon I don't recall him asking for a reduction. He <br />merely pointed out h is concern about <br />compensation for loss of economic return for his <br />acreage. <br /> <br />Q: Harold Rutherford I would. like to know what the boundary is for <br />the land the staff is making the recommendation <br />on. Is it just due south of Wallis, near Hult's <br />property, west of the words "West 5th A ven ue" <br />(Figure 111-2)1 <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Steve Gordon <br /> <br />Yes, it is <br />Figure 111-2. <br /> <br />the <br /> <br />cross-hatched <br /> <br />area <br /> <br />in <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Scott Lieuallen <br /> <br />Would the relationship between the dryer upland <br />area and lower wetland be interrupted and <br />seriously impaired should development occur on <br />the wetland? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Jerry Rust <br /> <br />Th is area is rather modest. For educational <br />purposes, it is the only metropolitan wetland <br />reflecting what once covered much of the <br />Eugene-Springfield area. <br /> <br />IV-A-9 <br /> <br /> <br />- <br />
