Current population is 22,000 and the plan anticipates doubling that at buildout. He summarized the citizen participation process for the plan and said that the Planning Team completed its review of the plan in August 1991 and forwarded its recommenda- tions to the Eugene Planning Commission. Mr. Lowe summarized the sequence of following public hearings and work sessions and said that the Eugene Planning Commission completed its work on the draft plan in December 1991, recommending several revisions to the draft plan. Attachment B to the ordinance adopting the plan outlines the revised draft plan as recommended by the Eugene Planning Commission. Mr. Lowe said that the draft plan recommends 25 Metro Plan amendments, 21 amendments to the street and highway project list of TransPlan, and 17 amend- ments to the bicycle project list in TransPlan. Staff has conducted work sessions with the Eugene City Council and the Lane County Board of Commission- ers. The Springfield City Council declined the offer to hold a work session on the draft plan. Mr. Lowe referred to several maps displayed on the wall, including a land use planning diagram map and a functional classification map. He said that sever- al letters have been submitted on the plan since the agenda packet was mailed to the elected officials. Those letters had been distributed to the officials prior to tonight's hearing. He said that one letter was received from Michael Farthing, representing Nat Giustina, regarding a Metro Plan amendment of 12.2 acres located on the north side of Country Club Road from medium-density resi- dential to high-density residential. A letter was received from Richard Hanson, a member of the Willakenzie Planning Team, commenting on the planning process. A letter was received from Stephen Shepard supporting the revised draft plan recommendation to include Satre/Van Duyn to a collector status, thereby invalidating a previous proposal in the plan to erect a traffic barri- er on that street. A letter from Frederick Batson also commented on the pro- posal to erect a traffic barrier on Satre/Van Duyn. A letter was received from Reverend Timothy Mockaitis, representing St. Paul Catholic Church on the same subject. A letter was received from Debra and Eric Jeffries requesting that their property, which is outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) but is adjacent to a street that is recommended for improvement, be exempt from as- sessment resulting from that project. A letter was received from Sacred Heart General Hospital supporting the draft plan proposal that would allow a second hospital campus to be built in the Coburg/Crescent area. Mr. Lowe submitted the letters into the public record. In response to a question from Mayor Miller, Mr. Lowe said that the public record was closed today at 5 p.m., unless there is a request during the testi- mony that it be left open. Mr. Roberts arrived (7:15 p.m.). Mr. Rust called the Lane County Board of Commissioners to order and read the ordinance. MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials April 29, 1992 Page 2
