property to R-1 low density residential to bring the property in to conformity with the Metro Plan. Metro Plan Policy 17 is instructional to the City to dissolve special service districts after annexation and to consider intergovernmental agreements with affected special service districts. The applicant does not object to dissolving special service districts, as needed. The proposal is consistent with Policy 17. Metro Plan Policy 19 stipulates the criteria that must be met in order to annex territory to existing service districts within the UGB. This proposal is consistent with Policy 19 in the fact that the key urban services are directly available to the property making immediate annexation to the City a possibility and the affected property owners have provided the signed consent to annex agreement with the City of Eugene in accordance Oregon annexation law. Metro Plan Policy 20 outlines the methodology for extending new urban service to unincorporated areas within the UGB. This proposal is consistent with Policy 20 in the fact that the applicant is requesting annexation to the City of Eugene, which is the highest priority of all the methods outlined in Policy 20 for providing new urban service to unincorporated areas within the UGB. "(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. " Applicant's Proposed finding: The Metro Plan defines the "Minimum Level" of "key urban facilities and services" as including "wastewater service, stormwater service, transportation, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, city-wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and public schools on a district -wide basis (in other words, not necessarily within walking distance of all students served)." Each of these facilities and services is addressed below. In summary, the minimum level of key urban facilities and services is either immediately available or can be provided within a reasonable future time frame as needed. Wastewater services: When property is annexed to the city, it is automatically annexed to the Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District, as provided for in ORS 199.510(2)(c). In the post -Boundary Commission era, the subject property will have to be annexed to the MWSD in a separate action, following annexation to the city.
