Exhibit A 3. The Goal 5 resource present in the East Gate Woodlands is a highly valuable natural ~gesource' for the entire metropolitan area. There will be some adverse impacts to that resource from the construction Md presence of this bridge. The elected officials chose to mitigate these effects through conditions designed to minimize intrusion into the habitat during construction, and to restore the site to its current condition, or better, when the temporary bridge is removed. This factor is met by this proposal. (~) "The proposed uses are compatible with other adjacent uses or will be so rendered through measures designed to reduce adverse impacts"~ The exception shall describe hoW the proposed use will be rendered compatible with adjacent land uses. The exception shall demonstrate that theproposed use is situated in such a manner as to be compatible with surrounding natural resources and resource management or prOduction practices.

Notwithstanding any argnments that may be made regarding the legitimacy of applying Goal 5 to the "reasons" exception, the planning commissions and elected officials considered the impacts of bridge construction on this habkat and required mitigation measures during construction and restoration once the bridge is remove& This factor is met by this proposal (3) ~f the exception involves more than one area for which the reasons and Circumstances are the same, the areas may be considered as a group. Each of the areas sha[l be identified on a map, or their location described, and keyed to the apprOpriate findings. 1. The exception includes both banks of the Willamette River.
