<br />e <br /> <br />opment plan provides for identification of natural assets that warrant pro- <br />tection. She said that the refinement plan recommends proceeding quickly <br />with any additional studies needed in order to provide information needed to <br />assess Goal 5 natural assets in the area and provide for their protection. <br />She said that policies in the refinement plan recognize that natural assets <br />exist in the Gateway area, and recommends that the policies and recommenda- <br />tions of the NRSS be carried through. The refinement plan recommends that a <br />comprehensive study of the McKenzie River be done. <br /> <br />Regarding transportation issues, Ms. Smith clarified that TransPlan is a <br />long-range planning document. She said that the extension of Pioneer Parkway <br />is included in TransPlan as a project that may occur in 12-20 years. Ms. <br />Smith said that the LCDC rule was adopted after the plan was completed. The <br />rule will cause the City to examine all plans. The Rule does not mandate <br />that traffic on each road will have to be reduced, but rather, that the <br />transportation system will have to work more efficiently. She added that <br />Rule 12 is included in TransPlan. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mayor Morrisette, Ms. Smith said that Rule 12 <br />mandates a 20-percent reduction in vehicle miles traveled per capita from <br />current miles traveled. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Beyer commented that there has been ample testimony claiming that the <br />refinement plan does not address open space. He said that Willamalane Park <br />and Recreation District offers financial resources for additional studies. <br />He assured the public that the City realizes the importance of the McKenzie <br />River. He said that details will be identified in site plans. He added that <br />because the flood plain remains under federal jurisdiction, it will remain as <br />open space. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Berg, Ms. Smith said that the NRSS offers <br />setback areas depending on the quality of the resources. She said that the <br />McKenzie River has the most stringent requirements for development. The NRSS <br />recommends that a natural resource zone be applied to the area. Ms. Smith <br />presented a map showing the riparian area fringes which carry a 75-foot set- <br />back. <br /> <br />Mr. Rust expressed frustration that federally regulated floodways and the <br />NRSS 75-foot setbacks were not shown in the Gateway Refinement Plan maps. <br /> <br />In response to Mr. Roberts' question regarding the trigger concept, Susan <br />Daluddung, Springfield Development Services Director, stated that staff has <br />not been given the opportunity to examine and analyze the concept and it is <br />not legally appropriate to provide a staff response on the issue at this <br />time. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Berg, Ms. Daluddung said that Willamalane <br />cannot purchase bicycle pathways until the refinement plan has been adopted. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Berg regarding the assurance of high-qual- <br />ity development, Ms. Smith stated that considerations for high-quality spe- <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials <br /> <br />January 29, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 14 <br />
