Motion FAILED 4 - 1. <br /> <br />Item 11 - River Road-Santa Clara came up for discussion. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Harold Rutherford MOVED to adopt item 11. There was no <br />second, so Scott lieuallen declared the motion DEAD for lack <br />of second. <br /> <br />The Board went on to item 9 - Airport Vicinity/Exclusive Farm Use <br />zoning for property in airport exception. area. <br /> <br />Gretchen Miller stated that the City of Eugene airport department is <br />actively engaged in working with the FAA (Federal Aviation <br />Administration) on the questions-of__ appraisal and federal grants. She <br />was satisfied that the City of Eugene is trying its best to acquire <br />federal grants in adequate amount to purchase the property. <br /> <br />Mayor Keller agreed with Ms. Miller and affirmed the City of Eugene has <br />been working towards obtaining the monies needed to offer a fair price <br />for the land. Item 9 was unacceptable to Eugene. <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Vance Freeman <br /> <br />Mayor Keller, if the zoning IS changed and <br />possibly a new appraisal results, would this <br />jeopardize your grant or funding in any way? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Gus Keller <br /> <br />I feel it is in Eugene's best interests to leave <br />the zoning as is. <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Otto t' Hooft <br /> <br />As I am unclear on the issue, could I have <br />Jim Farah's comment? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Jim Farah <br /> <br />o <br />The exception that was drafted and <br />recommended by the Elected Officials <br />Coordinating Committee stated that privately <br />owned land would be included in the exception <br />area, but that land would continue to be in <br />agricultural use until purchased by the airport <br />owner, City of Eugene. <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Otto t'Hooft <br /> <br />Are we essentially talking about an overlay? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Jim Farah <br /> <br />No. The discussion was whether the privately <br />owned lands around the airport should be <br />included within the exception area. The City <br />of Eugene proposed that it should not. The <br />compromise was that it should. An additional <br />compromise was that, in so doing, the land <br />would remain in agricultural usage until the <br />airport purchased the property. <br />
