- e e Councilor Hansen noted that the request was for 20 acres of commercially zoned land, with approximately 300,000 square feet of buildable retail space. He questioned whether if this request is granted and for some reason the proposed development is not built the existence of this large amount of commercially zoned land might:Cause denial of future requests for commercial zoning. Councilor Lindberg said it was important for the City of Eugene to establish a good working relationship with River Road and Santa Clara and noted that property owners could withdraw from Eugene and annex to a future city of Santa Clara if they wanted to. Mr. Gleason said that the council.s policy on River Road-Santa Clara is clear. He said the City of Eugene recognizes that the people of that area want to be independent but that most want to take advantage of reasonable opportunities to deal with existing septic tank problems. He said the City of Eugene proposes putting sewer trunk lines in place to provide sewer service as it is voluntarily requested. He noted that the Bancroft system requires that property owners on a street vote for installation of services on that street.
