Public hearing was opened. Those speaking against paving on Cleveland Street (Job 1607) were: ~ Ivan L. Sundstrom, 2392 Cleveland Street; Virginia Walker, 2184 West 24th Avenue; L. D. Scharn, 2195 West 24th Avenue; Reah Harris-Lematta, 2475 Cleveland Street. They felt they were being assessed $3,000 to improve a street for the residents of a new subdivision that they did not want. They asked why five people should carry the burden of a problem caused by a developer. They asked why they were not notified of the changes that were taking place in their neighborhood, and they felt they had no control over what was happening in their neighborhood. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Mr. Teitzel said Dawn E. Acres' development had 55 percent of the street frontage and the petitioners together owned 27 percent. He said the property owners were notified of this hearing, which is the only hearing on such a project. Mr. Obie asked what would happen if the bids were rejected. Mr. Teitzel said that it would not stop the development and would cause maintenance problems. Manager noted that every citizen of the city could expect to pay for street improvements in front of their houses and these residents will need to pay eventually. This project would help drainage, dust, and ~ noise control problems. Mr. Gilman said the bid was for $30.10 per ~ front foot of pavement. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to award low bids as recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously. C. Concurrent Annexation/Rezoning, Property Located North of Crescent Avenue, East and West of COburr Road, From County AGT and RA to City R-1 (Tigner) (A/Z 78-17) Materials Distributed) Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission March 6, 1979. Jim Saul, Planner, said the subject property comprises 19.5 acres of land on the west side of Coburg Road, just north of Crescent Avenue. The property just south of Crescent Avenue, occupied by the Eugene Swim and Tenni s Cl ub, was recently annexed by the Boundary Commi s- sion. Two lots are on the east side of Coburg Road. The property is divided into 14 different tax lots. There are 13 ownerships involved in the annexation and the owners have requested this annexa- tion. It would be subject to development with a street off Crescent Avenue. Lane County suggested this annexation because of failing septic systems. The annexation meets all pertinent standards. - 4/23/79--4 2.33
