: Steve Gordon, L-COG, stated that they had looked at ownership, existing . zoning, park development, and other natural resources. The land north of the park is private, and the focus was on plan designation. LCDC ~ Goal 4 requires forest designation. There should be a green buffer ~ strip on the map to indicate this is all within the Greenway Boundary. Mr. Obie asked about the sand and gravel people. Mr. Gordon responded that the concern was not so much concern about the sand and gravel resources as it was about the upland area. A representative from Wildish Sand and Gravel stated this proposal does not affect their sand and gravel operation. Mr. Gordon stated that if we can agree on a private land use designation, then people would be willing to include Mount Pisgah within the jurisdictional boundary of the plan. There was a counterproposal of possibly drawing a line east from Seavey Loop Road. This is not as logical as including the entire park. Ms. Miller asked how large the Greenway section is. Mr. Gordon responded that it is 80-100 acres. Mr. Obie asked how they are dealing with unacquired Greenway land, and Mr. Gordon responded that the definition of park and open space designation does not have to be public ownership. Development of property within the Greenway is not prohibited and some intensification of use is permissible. Ms. Miller stated that part of the problem might be that they think development will be prohibited. Mr. Croteau said that the third compromise area they were working on was the white spaces on the diagram. He stated this is not a land use or ~ a zoning map. The distinct wording is not included but perhaps should . be in the plan update. Jim Farah, Planning, said that LCDC representatives said it did not make any difference if there were white spaces or black lines as long as the intent was clear. Some people would have to go through the zoning process anyway. Springfield does not want any white spaces on the map; they want everything to be very clear. Mr. Croteau stated the Eugene Planning Commission thought the white spaces allowed a little more flexibility. Ms. Smith asked if there would be much area included in this situation. Mayor Keller asked if we could keep in our white spaces and have them do away with theirs. Mr. Croteau responded that that would be possible. Mr. Obie said he tended to agree with Springfield and thinks that white spaces could create frustration or problems. Mr. Delay noted that several adjustments in the refinement plans have been made and there have been buffering areas; it will depend on site, terrain, etc. He asked how the areas where there is no refinement plan will be dealt with. Mr. Farah responded that the diagram is only a graphic descrip- tion of the plan. Mr. Delay suggested including a statement that there could not be specific interpretation from the diagram and that should be obtained from the local jurisdiction. Consensus was to include this suggestion. . 6/4/80--10
