e ......... Mr. Porter felt that Council's policy on land use was taken into consideration in distribution of work and population trips. They took certain neighborhoods into account and are considering allocation of additional housing to reflect Eugene's policies. Mr. Murray wondered if balanced land use would be extensive or go beyond what will be allowable under the 1990 Plan. Mr. Guenzler replied the adjustments now are much more modest than first discussed, with a trend toward self-containment of neighborhoods. Mr. Guenzler' concluded he does not believe the concept violates the provisions of the 1990 Plan. Mr. Murray suggested adding the word "immediately" before the words "Skinner But :e" i/l Principle No.3, as well as substituting "dor;mtown" for "near" in "ne,Jr-westside Eugene area", the sentence then read.ing, "For example, ,increased residential densities for ,the year 2000 will be assumedJ.n at least the Springfield Main Street area', ,Goodpasture island~ the az'ea "immediately Iv'est of Skinner Butte, and dowrrtdwn'-'westside, Eugene area". There were no objections to Mr. Murray's suggestions. Mr. Bradley moved seconded by Mrs. Bea1 to table further discussion to the March 24 Commdttee meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Corom 3/10/76 Approve F. Assessment Panel Report - March 15, 1976 "Present: Council members williams and Haws; City Engineer Bert Teitzel. e --- 1.C.B.1050 - Special sewer levy in English Oaks Subdivision, Phase I (73-1004) No written protests were filed. Requests to be heard were received from R. Bateman, 485 Mar Loop; John Ratchford, 415 Mar Loop; and Orlando Caruso, 490 Mar Loop. Messrs. Bateman and Ratchford did not appear. Mr. Teitze1 explained that this subdivision was developed and streets and sewers constructed under private contract by the developer in 1973. Last year, the city installed improvements for another portion of the subdivision, he said. At that time, it was discovered the balance of the subdivision had not been assessed the 1/2~ per-square-foot levy usually levied against properties annexed since 1948 when laterals are installed to defray cost of trunk sewers and sewage treatment plant. Also, when the subdivision was developed, installation of dry line sewers (laterals) were required so that connection could be made to the trunk line when it was installed (Chevy Chase area which will be served by the east b~k trunk). Mr. Teitzel added that had the 1/2~ per-square-foot levy been assessed when the subdivision was developed, it would have been assessed to the subdivider and sup- posedly passed on to the individuals buying the lots. Now, it is being assessed to the individual property owners. --- Mr. Caruso said he had the understanding from the developer when he (Caruso) pur- chased his property that all improvements had been paid for, that the only cost he would have would be for connection to the trunk line. In response to Mr. Williams, he said that that understanding was not in writing. Also in response to Mr. Williams, Mr. Teitzel explained that the 1/29 levy is usually assessed along with assessments for lateral lines. Staff's recommendation in this instance, he said, was to levy this special sewer assessment against the properties as pro- posed ($1,970.61) but to defer payment until connection to the trunk sewer is made. He added that there was no code provision to allow for that type of deferment, but a similar deferment had been allowed for properties on Centennial Boulevard e IS5 3/22/76 - 13
