. carries out specifics of the Metropolitan Plan and provides a vehicle to resolve the debates in this area which have occurred for the past four years. He urges that the council adopt the study so that the developers can proceed. He i nd i - cated that Ruth Edwards had planned to testify but she had left the meeting. HU1h Riggs, 210 Hi11view Lane #1, states that there will be a bus route on Hl lview 1, into the Cone/Breeden area. There will be heavy traffic on this road which was built in 1958 for private use and not dedicated to the County or the City. This road was constructed by Wildish with overseeing by the County engineers. It has an underpinning base of light gravel, with a top of light blacktop. He asked if the City will take this road over, or if the County would. ~nother option would be if Cone-Breeden would. He would like to know who will maintain the road. Jack Dunn, 180 Hi11view #1, asked what this plan has to do with construction of the Cone-Breeden property. That street has a dead-end; is 20 feet wide and is paved with asphalt, which was built in 1958 to serve nine landowners. It is being shown as a loop system for LTD. If access is to be from Hil1view #1, into this development, he would like to see it. It would be impossible for LTD to turn north onto Coburg Road without blocking both lanes of traffic on Coburg. He asked who would have responsibility for bringing this road up to standards. Randall Hledik, PO Box 7428, stated that when this proposal was first brought to the City, they requested that the property at Coburg/County Farm roads be included in the study to consider it for new headquarters for Wi1dish Land Company. The request was refused. For six months, they have been working with . staff to determine how to address their problem. The land that they have at Delta and Greenacres does not satisfy the company requirements. Based on the zoning ordinance for light industrial areas, the request would probably not match the use criteria. They now have headquarters at County Farm Road and in Glenwood, but the headquarters in Glenwood is being shut down. The flood plan does not allow construction on the County Farm Road side, so they acquired land with County Farm Road access. During the 45 years Wi1dish has done business, they have created benefits for the community. Now they have a problem that they do not feel has a solution in the Metropolitan Plan. They are asking the council for assistance. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Ms. Smith stated that she would abstain since Mr. Saul is a partner of her husband's in MUS Saul. Ms. Wooten noted that she also would abstain due to her intense involvement in this project over the past five years. Mr. Jacobson stated that in regard to Hil1view #1 and the use of it by LTD, LTD officials decided it would be good to have a loop system connecting Chad with Hi1lview #1, and the use should not be precluded, although the location would be examined at the PUD process. Jim Farah, Planning, stated that staff has been in contact with Wi1dish consul- tants. The issue before the council is not flooding nor the concept, but rather the Coburg/Crescent Study. Without detailed plans of what Wi1dish intends, . there is a possibility that their headquarters could go under the Community Commercial zoning or in a Special Light Industrial area with a maximum of five MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 27, 1981 Page 17
