e e e other than building height restrictions in the code that apply to all build- ings. Mr. Robinette moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to modify revision #53 (Gillespie Butte Site Development Standard 6) as follows: With the exception of Tax Lot 200--Assessor's Map 17-03-19-4 3, which shall have a maximum height limitation of no more than 595 feet above mean sea level, Tax Lots 203 and 204--Assessor's Map 17-03-19-4 3, which shall have a maximum height limitation of no more than 588 feet above mean sea level, and park-related develop- ment on public land, the maximum height of any building within the area affected by these guidelines shall be 585 feet above mean sea level. The motion carried, 5:3 (Mr. Boles, Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Nicholson opposed). Revisiting the issue of whether sidewalks should be provided on one or both sides of North Delta Highway, Mr. Rutan expressed concern that the council be responsive to the needs of development in the area. He thought sidewalks should be constructed only on the east side of the highway. Mr. Nicholson maintained that pedestrian facilities are needed on both sides of the street and noted the shopping facilities and high number of employees in the area. In response to a question from Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Reinhard said that the sidewalks will not be funded by development permit costs. In response to a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Reinhard said that the council will revisit the project during the design construction phase. Ms. Bascom expressed concern about the aesthetics of the corridor. The council agreed, by unanimous con- sensus, that it is appropriate to plan for sidewalks on both sides of North Delta Highway, as recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Robinette moved, seconded by Mr. Rutan, to approve the request for a Metro Plan amendment of a 12-acre parcel east of the Eugene Country Club from medium- to high-density residential. In response to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Lowe said that further public testimony will be heard on this issue during the public hearing for the zone change. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. With the exception of the above decisions, the council approved, by consensus, the recommendations of the Planning Commission concerning the Willakenzie Area Refinement Plan. II. DISCUSSION: HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE DISCHARGE AND REMOVAL ORDINANCE Dave Nuss, Eugene Fire Marshal, gave a brief presentation of the ordinance concerning hazardous substance discharge and removal. He said that the revi- sion now before the council is more narrowly defined, authorizing the City to act as a last resort to abate only public health and safety threats.
