- Public hearing was opened. e Paul Mehnert, 540 Oak Street, said he was a planning consultant with David Pedersen and Associates, representing the applicants, Ms. Byers-Jones and Mr. and Ms. McCarthy. He said that the subject property represented the last two tax lots adjacent to Capital Drive. He said that the property was surrounded to the north, west, and south by properties receiving the full range of City services. He said that the annexation request was especially crucial since it would provide fire and emergency services to the existing homes on the property. Mr. Mehnert said that the annexation and rezoning would primarily represent infilling, since the land was clearly committed by surrounding uses to future urban use. He said that Ms. Byers-Jones intended to develop her property through a planned unit development, with density of less than five units per acre, as per the provisions of the South Hills Study. He said that to date the McCarthys had no development plans. Mr. Mehnert said that he had discussed the issues of traffic and storm drainage control with City Engineer Bert Teitzel and City Traffic Engineer Jim Hanks and that he believed these problems could be adequately addressed. Mr. Mehnert urged the council to approve the request, as recommended by the Planning Commission, based on the findings made by the commission and staff. Michael McCarthy, 2855 Capital Drive, said that he and his wife were homeowners and parents with the same concern for addressing traffic problems in the area as other neighbors. He said that he and his wife had made the request primarily because the annexation would provide fire protection for their home. There being no further public testimony, public hearing was closed. e Res. No. 3737--A resolution forwarding a recommendation to the Boundary Commission for annexation of property located on the east side of Capital Drive, east of Cresta de Ruta Street to the City of Eugene and the Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that findings supporting the annexation as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of October 19, 1982, be adopted by reference thereto; and that the resolution be adopted. Councilor Miller pointed out that problems similar to the traffic and service provision problems identified relative to this request would arise whenever annexations of land formerly developed in the County were considered. Roll call vote; motion carried 7:1, with Councilors Ball, Hamel, Lindberg, Miller, Obie, Schue, and Smith voting in favor, and Councilor Wooten voting in opposition. CB 2580--An ordinance authorizing re~oning from County RA Suburban Residential District to City RA-PD Suburban Residential District with Planned Unit Development procedures for property located on the east side of Capital Drive, east of Cresta de Ruta Street. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 22, 1982 Page 13
