e D. League of Oregon Cities Ms. Schue offered her appreciation to staff for the airport tour conducted at the League of Oregon Cities meeting held in Eugene. She also discussed several proposals for funding for education and cautioned that many of these contain a property tax limitation which would impact local governments. II. WORK SESSION: DRAFT GLENWOOD REFlNEMENT PLAN Terry Jones, Planning and Development Department, reviewed changes that have been made to the Glenwood Refinement Plan through a compromise effort. This is a continuation of the work session on the draft Glenwood Refinement Plan which was held on January 10 at which time council reviewed and gave direction to staff on nine of the 24 proposed revisions. While many of the remaining revisions are not controversial, there still are several major issues having to do ~ith the Franklin Boulevard/Willamette River corridor that need to be resolved. Ms. Jones said that since the January 10 work session, staff has met with Robert Moulton, representing Jay Oldham, and has come to agreement on all points. These points have been added to the revisions document that the council reviewed at that work session. e Upon completion of the review process, staff requests that the council initiate the Metro Plan amendment process and offer its tentative approval to the amendment plan. A. Revi sion J Ms. Jones asked for any comments on Revision J. Mr. Holmer suggested that the phrase "or amount" be removed for the following sentence: "under goal definitions, any expansion of an open storage area which increases or expands the area or amount of an existing use is an intensification." The other councilors agreed. B. Rev; sion K Ms. Jones explained what was proposed under the compromise Revision K which would create a more flexible greenway setback. Originally the setback was 35 feet from the top of the bank. Under the compromise it would be between 20 and 35 feet from the top of the bank. The council agreed to this version. C. Revision U Ms. Jones said that Revision U is a combination of recommendations between Mr. Moulton and staff. If Revision U is instituted, then requests for easements for the bike path could be considered when the use of that piece of property is being changed.
