e e e action on this project until it can be considered in the context of the Goodpasture Island Transportation Study. Ms. Ehrman said this project reminded her of a recent joint elected offi- cials' meeting at which a "triggering" concept was discussed. She asked if such a concept could be used to implement this project. Mr. Lyle responded that the roadway was deteriorating and that delaying the project would reduce the opportunity to incorporate it into the final improvement structure. He added that staff has received complaints from residents in the area regarding concerns about turning movements into the existing developed sites. He said the Eugene Code addresses the methodology for levying assessments to abutting property owners for road improvements. Ms. Ehrman said it appeared that timing was critical and that the "triggering" has already occurred in this project. Responding to a question, Mr. Lyle said that underground conduits will be provided and street lights will be installed as funds are available. He said that the estimated $45,000 assessment figure for one of the abutting property owners assumed a 36-foot equivalent assessment for the frontage of the prop- erty, but noted that a portion of the frontage may be eligible for a 20-foot equivalent assessment, resulting in a lower assessment. Mr. MacDonald reit- erated his concern regarding the financial impact on abutting property own- ers. Ms. Bascom noted that the area was zoned to provide urban density. Responding to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Lyle said the traffic volume on Goodpasture Island Road was similar to other collector and arterial streets in Eugene (i.e., Willakenzie Road). Roll call vote; the motion to approve Item B passed 5:1:1, with Councilor Nicholson voting against and Councilor Robinette abstaining. III. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION/REZONING FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE RIVER ROAD AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HORN LANE, EAST OF ANDERSON LANE (AZ 91-14 EUGENE MISSION) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the item. Cathy Czerniak, Planning and Development Department, summarized the code criteria necessary for annexation and rezoning. This is a property owner-initiated request involving a one- acre tax lot in the River Road area. The property owner has requested annex- ation and rezoning as a first step toward preparing the property for sale and to allow further low-density residential development on the north end of the parcel. The property is located inside the urban growth boundary (UGB), and key urban services can be provided upon annexation. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the request and recommended approval and rezoning to R-1. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 10, 1992 Page 3
