e not urbanizable. Ms. Miller stated this only speaks to whether they would be allowed to cut trees or not. Mr. Croteau stated that with the South Hills study and the tree cutting ordinance there would be no clearcutting within the urban growth boundaries. Mayor Keller noted he doesn't care if they harvest timber but does not want clearcutting.. He asked if there was a way to persuade owners not to clearcut. Mr. Croteau stated he didn't think there had been any testimony on this matter by the owners. The only testimony came from Lane Community College and the University of Oregon, which is the property on the north side. Mr. Gordon stated that most of the owners had purchased land in this area on specula- tion that it would be included as a part of the metropolitan plan jurisdic- tions. Ms. Schue asked wh at Lane County meant by II great emphas is. II Mr. Gordon responded that this would be less than higher priority. Mr. Gordon stated they were working on an ordinance in Springfield similar to the South Hills study here to protect timber in the south hills of Springfield. Ms. Smith asked if there would be anything wrong with recommending that both versions be included and Mr. Croteau responded that that is the recommend at i on. e Difference 2 deals with the North Springfield Community Plan. Positions of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County are outlined and the Coordinating Committee decided to hold off until the next meeting to make a decision to allow the staff of the three jurisdictions time to present a pos- sible compromise under this item. Eugene and Springfield would like to continue the use of the North Springfield Community Plan, Part 1, and the Gateway Park Development Plan, where they do not conflict with the updated Metropolitan Area General Plan. The County would like for the North Springfield Community Plan to not be superceded by this plan and to remain in effect. Springfield showed 11 areas in conflict with the Metropolitan Plan and this will happen also in Eugene with the Bethel Plan. Mr. Gordon showed a map, stating that Springfield is going to prepare a map showing where remaining developable land has mostly been annexed already. He feels that it would be better to scrap the North Springfield plan because there is so much wrong with it. Mayor Keller noted that Springfield is in no way to accept that plan as anything but a refinement plan which will have to be updated. He stated that if this were our problem we would feel the same way, and feels we should be supportive of them. Ms. Smith agreed with Mayor Keller. Mayor Keller stated he would like to see the map and Ms. Schue stated she didn't need to see the map. Difference 3 deals with jurisdictional responsibility. Mr. Croteau stated that if Lane County adopts this plan, it will have to maintain the lands between the two cities. Mr. Delay asked for clarifica- tion and Mr. Croteau responded that this land would b~ outside the city limits but within the areas of the jurisdiction of the plan. Mr. Gordon noted it should be parallel language. Mr. Croteau said that in item 2 the language should be responsibility, rather than jurisdiction; and it should read the cities of Springfield and Eugene have responsibility, e 5/14/80--11
