on the property and added that it contained no water features. She requested that the property be taken off the inventory. Wes Hoskins, 2095 Fairmount Boulevard, reiterated the comments of Ms. Holzhauser and respectfully requested that his property be removed from the inventory list. Fred Hamlin, 29773 Gimpl Hill Road, said his property was included because of an aerial map. He urged the council to take the safe harbor approach. He said that approach would complete the process more rapidly. Robert Coakley, 3669 Sanders Street, submitted written material into the record. He remarked that his neighborhood had been totally developed since 1959. He said there were gross errors in the inventory and it should not be approved until those errors were fixed. Jim Spickerman, 975 Oak Street, submitted written material into the record. He said an all- inclusive inventory was a problem for staff and private property owners. He said the process could not be completed in a timely manner and raised concern over the fact that the inventory and the process for ending up listed on the inventory were developed concurrently. He said a land use process should have established criteria that were or were not met. He commented that the inventory was an evolving target that left people confused as to their status. He urged the council to consider the safe harbor process. Marc Tobin, 1758 East 17th Avenue, urged the council to finish the process in a way that protected significant wildlife habitat. Carol Fisher, 3664 Revel Street, submitted written material into the record and asked that the record be kept open for an extended period of time. Jozef Zdzienicki, 1025 Taylor Street, stressed that there was a limited supply of natural areas in the city and the council should act to protect what was left. He urged the council to adopt the inventory. He said he did not agree with the safe harbor approach. Mark Robinowitz, 28549 Sutherlin Lane, commented that Oregon's rainforest was being cut down at a faster rate than that of the Amazon region in Brazil. He commented that if the environment was destroyed there would not be an economy to try to fix. David Monk, 3720 Emerald Street, stressed the importance of moving forward with the process. He said there was a lot of misconception about the inventory. He said the way to get to certainty was to move forward. He said it was not the case that if a property was listed on the inventory no development would be allowed. Jan Wilson, 1260 President Street, remarked on the amount of misinformation at the hearing. She said the proposal for safe harbor was way too late. She stressed that the inventory was an overlay that stressed the importance of protecting natural resources within the City. Karl Sargent, 125 Fir Street, Medford, said the primary transmitter for KLSR Television was listed in the inventory. He remarked that the tower provided a service to the City of Eugene and added that the tower housed other communication services as well.
