. . Farah responded that is correct. Mr. Croteau said that it is important for the council to realize that Lane County does not agree with the cities' version of e th is po 1 icy. In regard to land use around the airport, Mr. Croteau stated that it is important to realize they have retained the language that the City will purchase land around the airport at fair market value. Mayor Keller noted that some negotia- tion for a small parcel is occurring now and Mr. Hamel asked how long that would take. Mr. Farah responded that once under negotiation, it could occur within a few months to a year. Mr. Hamel asked how many years the City of Eugene is look i ng ahead. Mr. Henry responded 20 years. There will be sufficient land for that time period. There are three pending agreements with property owners on the price if the FAA will agree to them. Mr. Delay expressed concern with the language of POlicy 14, page III-F-7. He indicated that he agrees with the intent but not with the language and does not feel it is clear. He suggested deleting the word IIboth.1I Mayor Keller stated that the County feels that the City should purchase all the land surrounding the airport at the highest possible price, but the City generally does that anyway. What they offered was to buy only agricultural land. Because the land is zoned Agricultural, the County thinks the City is not paying enough money. Mayor Keller asked what is being paid for the land north of the airport. Mr. Henry responded that the City is paying about twice what they thought they would have to pay. The County allowed a residential subdivision in that area and did not notify the City so now the City is having to pay more for the land. Mr. Obie noted that there is a conflict of interest since the City owns the airport, but Mr. Delay stated that there is not a conflict of interest unless there would be something for one of the individuals on the City staff or City Council to gain, such as if they owned the e land personally. Any planning decisions would be a conflict of interest in that context. Mr. Lieuallen compared this to what ~appened in the South Hills when one City department zoned the land and another department acquired it. Mr. Obie noted that if it were zoned first, there could be a difference in the price, and that would seem to be a direct conflict. Mr. Delay said that would only be the case if 'it were down-zoned, but that is not the case. Mr. Croteau stated in regard to jurisdictional boundary and responsibility that Springfield and Eugene have agreed. Steve Gordon, L-COG, pointed out the jurisdictional boundary on the map. Mayor Keller stated that the City approved the urban growth boundary last week and the County approved it yesterday. Mr. Gordon noted that, in regard to the jurisdictional boundary, any plan text or diagram changes would be subjecting a jurisdiction to the amendment procedures. Mr. Gordon stated that the Lane County Commissioners met yesterday and discussed amending this item but approved only the urban growth boundary, not the jurisdic- tional boundary. Mr. Croteau stated that there is another major disagreement which came up in the EEOC meeting on Monday--that of property between Awbrey Lane and Enid Road. Mr. Gordon stated that there are existing industrial uses in that area and the City has adopted the zoning for that area to be agricultural-realted industrial. The County said that it is zoned M-3 and they will designate Heavy Industrial in their adopted plan. Mr. Delay asked if that meant that the County would, in their metro plan, show this as only industrial. Mr. Gordon responded that was correct. e 7/16/80--12
