Bettman commented this doesn't preclude anything from happening, it defines clearly what the exemption in the greenway is for. MOTION: to direct staff to return with a revised ordinance, findings and exhibits to include the right-of-way map and the dimensions in feet in the southern ODOT right-of-way and to explicitly indicate where a temporary detour bridge will be deconstructed in a stated time frame with a maximum of ten years and to remove the language in the ordinance referring to a permanent bridge and to include the recommendation of the two planning commissions for the deletion, which is the number three recommendation. Bettman MOVED. Meg Kiernan, Assistant City Attorney, explained what is triggering this proceeding is Policy 13 in the Metro Plan which the three jurisdictions enacted years ago, that says if fill is going to be put into the Willamette Greenway, there has to be an exception taken to statewide planning Goal 15. She noted the language in the Metro Plan that is adopted through this ordinance stays in the Metro Plan until the Metro Plan is changed. She added if any future bridge does not create fill, they don't need to deal with the Goal 15 exception process. Kelly SECONDED. Bettman commented that all the motion does is make the scope of the exception consistent with the findings and the intent to facilitate the quick building of a detour bridge. Kelly wanted to get a motion that would pass all three jurisdictions. He wanted to hear ODOT's concerns on the deconstruction timeframe. He commented that Poling suggested that the time certain could be within a certain period of time after the permanent bridge. The maker of the motion accepted that. He stated the detour bridge wouldn't have to come down until the permanent bridge opened. Scheick considered that a more workable solution for ODOT. Bettman asked if there would be any chance that the permanent bridge wouldn't get built and they would end up with the same bridge and the detour bridge. She said the clarifications could be made between now and when they see the revised language. Meisner supported the motion but he was concerned because they told the public they would not be taking action. VOTE BY THE EUGENE CITY COUNCIL: Unanimous. Ballew wanted to see the written Eugene motion brought back to their council. Leiken asked if the Springfield City Councilors were in favor of Bettman's motion.
