e when property was annexed to the city. The code requires that they do so. From now on, they will be applying an appropriate sign code district. Ms. Wooten asked what that would be for. Mr. Croteau explained that every property within the city is covered by a particular sign district. The residential sign district is the most restrictive sign district in the city. The only signing allowed for a residence is in conjunction with a home occupation: a one-square- foot sign for the name of a person with the business there. Mayor asked those testifying to fill out a questionnaire for the Citizen Involvement Committee. These questionnaires are passed out in order to seek the public's feelings about the hearing process that the council goes through for land-use issues. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared. Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. Helen Davies, owner of Tax Lots 1500 and 1700, said she had written a letter to the City explaining why she did not want her property to be annexed. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony. e 3482--A resolution forwarding recommendations to the Boundary Commission for annexation of property located within the area bounded by West 18th Avenue, Bertelsen Road, Bailey Hill Road, and Four Oaks Grange Road to the City of Eugene and Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the findings support- ing the annexation as set forth in the Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of January 6, 1981, be adopted by reference thereto, and that the resolution be adopted. Ms. Wooten asked Ms. Davies to explain her reasons for not wanting to have her property annexed to the city. Ms. Davies said that she was very satisfied with the way it was. They had a good septic tank and good water. They have animals that they want to keep. Ms. Wooten asked if the two lots together were a little over an acre. Ms. Davies said that they were. Res. No. Ms. Wooten asked Mr. Croteau if, under Goal 3, Agricultural Lands, the soils classification was in the range of I through IV. Mr. Croteau did not have that information. He said the parcel was relatively small and is surrounded by highly urban development. Due to low density in the development that has occurred, the burden of proof was not particularly heavy so they did not do a detailed soils analysis. Ms. Wooten asked Ms. Davies if she and her husband intended to develop any of their property in the near future. Ms. Davies said they did not. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1981 Page 2
