Peter Thompson, 840 Lawrence Street, stated that Ms. Jones had addressed the e items considered under the Planning Commission requirements. The adjoining property owned by the Rexius family was annexed and there was concern regarding the future annexation to the north due to the soil stability. Walter Youngquist, a geologist who owns property to the west, has appraised the soils and the topography and proved that it will support a road from the Rexius property to join 40th Avenue. This would be a link between Brookside and 40th which will serve much of the traffic generated by the Rexius annexation. This meets Eugene and LCDC requirements. He indicated that he could answer questions if necessary. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Lindberg asked if there is any chance the proposed road would not go through, and if it did not, what would happen. Ms. Jones stated the only way this could happen would be if the owners did not want a road, but Mr. Thompson has indicated that they do want this road, although they have not yet determined the exact locat ion. Ms. Schue asked if the City could require a road. Ms. Jones responded that they co u 1 d . Mr. Thompson stated that Smi th and Breeden want the road to both meet City standards and to help relieve traffic problems. Mr. Lindberg asked if there would be any question if the council asked for a guarantee. Mr. Gleason stated that that needs to be referred to the Hearings Official during the PUD process. Then if they want to develop, they must have the road. Ms. Miller asked if the council could ask the Hearings Official to consider whether child- ren would have a level place to play somewhere other than in the streets. Jim e Croteau, Planning, said that staff would work on this. Res.
