<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />not productive. However, he said that Dan Desler presented the proposals to <br />various developers in the area who have indicated an interest in proceeding <br />with some of the development. He emphasized that the residents do not wish <br />to have multiple streets in the area, especially in the medium-density resi- <br />dential area. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Rust, Mr. Bowerman said that the plans <br />that the neighborhood group presented showed open space areas in locations so <br />as not to diminish the opportunity for development. He said that the devel- <br />opment density was similar to the staff's plan, but was organized in such a <br />way to preserve open space. <br /> <br />O. W. Marsh, 50 Hayden Bridge Way, said that he purchased his home in Septem- <br />ber 1991, and knew about the proposed extension of Pioneer Parkway at the <br />time he purchased the home. He said that he was given the impression that <br />the parkway would be developed in 10 to 20 years, and that it was uncertain <br />whether additional lands would be needed for the extension. He said that the <br />proposed right-of-way will destroy his septic tank and garden, and would be <br />very close to his house. He maintained that the extension is not needed <br />because most people now shop at malls, which can be accessed via 1-5. He was <br />also opposed to improving Game Farm Road. <br /> <br />Arthur Farley, 907 Woodhill Drive, representing the Lane County Audubon So- <br />ciety, stated that the habitat and quality of life for wildlife must be main- <br />tained, and noted that it directly affects the quality of human life. He <br />noted that a survey conducted by the State asked citizens what they liked <br />most about living in Oregon. The majority of responses indicated that the <br />quality of the wildlife and natural areas were important to Oregonians, not <br />the quality of highways. He added that natural areas greatly improve the <br />value of land. He pointed out that the refinement plan contains no protec- <br />tion of open spaces along the McKenzie River. He said that many cities would <br />realize the value of such a natural asset and not allow development within <br />100 miles of it. He said that the attitude of the plan now is that "growth <br />is good and quality of life is not important". <br /> <br />Ms. Smith read a letter submitted by Lynda Raybould, stating the position of <br />the Springfield Planning Commission, which was entered into the record. In <br />addition, written testimony from Bettie and Walter Haxby, 3382 Game Farm <br />Road; Emerick and Gladis Hultin, 2924 Game Farm Road; and Erven Schnetsky, <br />3492 Baldy View Lane; and the minutes of the tour taken by the Springfield <br />City Council on January 27, 1992. <br /> <br />F. Closing of Public Testimony Portion of Public Hearing <br /> <br />Mayor Morrisette cl~sed the public testimony portion of the public hearing. <br /> <br />G. Recess <br /> <br />There was a brief recess at 9:25. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials <br /> <br />January 29, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 12 <br />
