When the Metro Plan was acknowledged in 1982, there were many policies - that related to statewide goals, but only the three listed below were not carried out by completion of the Mid-Period Review as specified in the Metro Plan. These policies are not directly re~uired by the state- wide goals; however, the three local governments ob igated themselves to complete them prior to the completion of the mid-Period Review. Res. No. 3953--A resolution adopting a proposed periodic review order pursuant to ORS 197.640 (5) and ordering a public hearing. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the resolution subject to the addition recommended by the Eugene Planning Com- mission. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. VI. PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION ON DRAFT TRANSPLAN/STAFF RESPONSE TO TESTIMONY AT ELECTED OFFICIALS' HEARING (memo, background informa- tion distributed) Mayor Obie said there was not time for discussion and staff response to testi- mony on the TransP1an draft. Ms. Brody asked councilors to indicate their concerns about the draft so the staff could prepare responses during the holidays. Mr. Rutan wanted to discuss the transit goal, the introduction to the Trans- e Plan, the Financial section, a transfer of projects numbered 121, 131, and 132 from the short-range to the long-range phase, Mr. Hansen's concerns, and the "Special Studies" section. He said the 8 percent transit goal is unrealistic. It should be no more than 5 percent and the computer modeling should be changed accordingly. He suggested that the introduction signify a change in transportation planning that indicates only necessary projects will be considered. He also thought the plan should include a statement indicating that the cooperation of the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Fede- ral government is needed to complete transportation projects. He liked the Planning Commission recommendation about the "Financial" section. He sugges- ted a special study of parking in the Sacred Heart Hospital and University of Oregon area be included in the plan. He would like a staff response to testi- mony from Sacred Heart Hospital about the addition of policies PklO and AM8. Ms. Ehrman suggested that copies of the TransPlan with the recommended changes, as well as the original wording in the draft, be prepared. Mr. Holmer said that woonerfs should not be included in the TransP1an. Mayor Obie suggested the council discuss the population projections and the public transit goal. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council December 18, 1985 Page 10 -
