<br />Park, Lone Oak Park, Terra Linda Park, and more recently, a park site near Ferndale Avenue and another <br />near Beacon Drive East. The net result is that once these neighborhood parks are developed they will <br />provide a well-distributed coverage of neighborhood park service that's comparable to other areas of <br />Eugene. In contrast, Santa Clara continues to be significantly under-served in the categories of <br />community parks and natural areas. <br /> <br />To date, staff have not pursued options around the Santa Clara School site for use as a neighborhood <br />park. The primary reason is that the area is currently served by an existing neighborhood park purchased <br />in 1999 for that purpose. Lone Oak Park is an undeveloped, 4-acre site located at the comer of Ross Lane <br />and Lone Oak Avenue, and was one of the earlier bond-funded acquisitions targeted to serve the <br />neighborhood in southeast Santa Clara. <br /> <br />The addition of a neighborhood park site at Santa Clara school would result in significant overlap with the <br />existing service area covered by Lone Oak. The idea has been discussed about liquidating Lone Oak in <br />favor of buying a portion of Santa Clara School for a neighborhood park. While this may sound <br />appealing to some at first glance, we believe the additional costs involved would pose a significant barrier <br />to this course of action. <br /> <br />Our best current information indicates that School District 4J is expected to soon apply to change the <br />zoning of the Santa Clara School. The property was recently listed on the market at $7.2 million. If the <br />zone change application is successful, a portion of the former school property equal in size to Lone Oak <br />Park could cost as much as $4 million. This compares with an estimate of the current land value of Lone <br />Oak Park at approximately $695,000. <br /> <br />If you have additional questions please contact me bye-mail at iohnny.r.medlin@ci.eugene.or.us or by <br />telephone at 682-4930. <br /> <br />Council Memo 12.1.05 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
