'.' .. historic and scenic value to Eugene, which would b,e irretrievably lost if this area is developed. 2. Mr. Mark Christensen, 33132 Coleman Road, Eugene, Oregon 91401, owner of tax lot #500. He protested the inclusion of his property in the Willow Creek Wetlands. He did not wish to donate h is land and said and that no economic tradeoff is possible on his land (all five acres are presently considered part of the wetlands). He requested that the wetlands boundaries be drawn south and east of tax lot 500 to exclude it. 3. Mr. Harold Chapman, 51 Chapman Drive, Eugene, Oregon 91404. He opposed staff recommendation of the land use plan for Confluence Island, as he felt it would adversely affect property, Santa Clara residents, vegetation and wildlife. He stated that the island protects North Santa Clara residents from flooding from the McKenzie River and feared sand/gravel operations would worsen the erosion around the island and result in a major flood. He also asked that better use be made of the power lines in existing corridors instead of constructing additional ones on the island. 4. Ms. Vora E. Heintz, 1038 Jayne Drive, Eugene, Oregon 91404, Board member of Neighborhood Group, Lane County Citizen Involvement Committee, River Road/Santa Clara Task Force Groundwater Study (also see also Written Testimony, pp. 111-1-1-2).

He stated his concurrence with the testimonies of Harold Chapman and Vora Heintz. 6. Ms. Sydney Herbert, 2750 Onyx, Eugene, Oregon 91403, Lane County Audubon Society (also see Written Testimony, pp. 111-C-1-4). She wished to amend her December 15, 1981 oral testimony regarding the staff recommendations for Confluence Island heronry. She disagreed completely with the compromise the staff suggested (conditional use permit to control sand/gravel operation and protect the heronry with a buffer) . She felt the gravel would be protected by some other land use designation until a process could be worked out to extract gravel' without harming other resources. She objected to the comparison of Confluence Island to Ross Island, feeling there was no similarity and mentioned flagrant violations of the conditional use permit that have occurred on Ross Island for the past five years. She was concerned that Delta Sand and Gravel felt the 300-foot buffer would be adequate to allow gravel extraction at any time of the year, even nesti ng season. 1. ?~ Further, she contended the Greenway permit process IS not precIse enough in detailing proper gravel processing. 11-3 ;, . ill!
