Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Sercombe said the council's recom- e mendation for annexation to the Boundary Commission cannot be conditioned. Mr. Croteau said the addition of the site review suffix to a zoning district offers an opportunity to include conditions to a rezoning request. He reiter- ated that Spring Boulevard cannot be realigned until Tax Lots 2800 and 6500 are annexed. He said Shirley Tallackson and Stanley Lesher are the owners of record of the lots. He understood that Tax Lot 2800 may be sold. Mr. Miller said he understood the Sobols' concern. He wondered why the tem- porary easement across their property cannot be vacated before the annexation. Mr. Croteau said the City does not vacate a right-of-way until another right-of- way has been dedicated. Right-of-way through Tax Lot 2800 will be required for the realignment of Spring Boulevard. Whatever right-of-way is not needed will be vacated. Part of the existing right-of-way near 40th Avenue probably will be needed. Some of it will not be needed. Commenting on the request, Ms. Ehrman said she favored annexation and a condi- tioned rezoning. She said new owners of Tax Lot 2800 might want a different alignment than is now expected. Mr. Croteau suggested a site review suffix to the RA zoning district. He said the suffix should contain one concern indicating Spring Boulevard should be realigned before Tax Lot 2800 is developed. Mr. Croteau suggested Mr. Saul be permitted an opportunity for rebuttal about the proposed site review suffix. Mr. Saul said information about development was provided to Mr. Williams, who - had represented the Sobols. Mr. Saul said John Murphy intends to buy Tax Lot 2800 and build a single-family dwelling on it. Mr. Murphy wants to get the realignment resolved before deciding on the site of his house. Mr. Lesher does not have development plans at this time. County regulations will have to be followed if the properties are not annexed. County regulations indicate the roads should be appropriate for the prOduction of timber. Answering a question from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Sercombe said the county zoning remains on a property if a rezoning request is not approved when property is annexed. Mr. Miller suggested the annexation and rezoning be approved if an agreement can be made that the Sobols will have redress if the council IS intent is not followed. Mr. Sercombe said such an agreement is not possible. Mr. Rutan said the City has policies and procedures such as those in the South Hills Study to protect the Sobols. Addition of the site review suffix will add an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy that will stay with the property. Answering a question from Mr. Hansen, Mr. Saul said a site review suffix is not necessary, but, if the council wants it, he suggested it be applied to Tax Lot 2800 only. He said the owners will have to go through the site review process whenever a permit is requested. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 14, 1985 Page 6
