'- , ~ what happened to the refinement plans that had been previously discussed. The response was that they are still in existence. Mayor Keller noted that most of those things seemed applicable to all areas with the excep- . tion of River -Road/Santa Clara. Mayor Keller stated that he felt every- one could agree on areas that could be annexed. Mr. Delay suggested that perhaps on item 11-B-5 12 they should more directly identify who would establish criteria for urban uses. He does not feel this should be a vague statement. Mayor Keller asked Mr. Gordon if items 1-11 deal with the question that Mr. Delay brought up. Mr. Gordon responded that not all of them do. They questioned whether the statements are strong enough. Mr. Farah stated that the language Mr. Delay suggested would make the plan more explicit in regard to right-of-way, etc. This would make it more clear rather than vague. Mr. lieuallen noted that this only applies to certain areas. What he would suggest would be language that would state "in a manner in conformance with the annexing city and adja- cent jurisdiction." Mayor Keller asked if this could be added and be ready for Monday's Elected Officials Coordinating Committee meeting. Mr. Farah responded that it could. Ms. Miller stated that lane County is not going to allow development in unincorporated areas. With the exception of River Road/Santa Clara, the rest of the land would be divided into five- or ten-acre parcels. Mr. Croteau stated that River Road/Santa Clara is the only area where it is feasible to use septic tanks for dense urban development. Mr. Gordon stated that language to the effect of "converting to urban uses and urban densities" be inserted. Various other minor language changes were discussed. . Ms. Smith stated she had talked with John Bennett from the Homebuilders' Association and asked what the status of the land north of State Street was. Mr. Croteau stated that they would be excluding land north of Jessen from the urban growth boundary. Mayor Keller noted that the City has a strong commitment to protect the Airport. Mr. Gordon showed on the map what the boundaries would be for development around the Airport. Ms. Smith noted that in looking at the map, she is concerned about available land for low-income development. Mr. Croteau responded that there will be available land, particularly in the Willow Creek area. There will be many locations available for future housing needs. Mr. Gordon noted that there are 735 acres in the Terry Street area. He cautioned the council not to equate income level with the geographic area by assuming that low-income building would occur in the Bethel area. Mayor Keller noted that some land had been approved for Agripac in the Awbrey lane area, which has been included in the urban growth boundary. Mr. Gordon pointed out the various EEOC changes based upon public testi- mony. Ms. Smith asked about the land in question that is owned by the University of Oregon. Mr. Croteau stated that only 50 percent of that area would be serviceable. Mr. Delay stated it would only be appropriate -a 7/9/80--14
