of the controversy the last time the council considered the issue regarded the lack of definite information about what natural resources actually existed where. He likened the inventory to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan and said the council could use the detailed information that resulted when it contemplated what individual properties to allow to fully develop, what properties to fully protect, and what properties to restrict development upon. Ms. Muir said the Planning Commission was meeting weekly on the Goal 5 process and its final delibera- tions were scheduled for July 18. The council would receive that recommendation at a work session on September 21. In response to Mr. Papd's earlier question, Mr. Bj6rklund outlined the parameters of the south hills area using a map mounted on the meeting room wall. At the request of Mr. Papd, Mr. Bj6rklund noted major landmarks delineating the proposed study area involved. Mr. Poling asked how many acres and property owners were involved. Mr. Bj6rklund did not recall; he estimated about 1,900-plus acres, with approximately the same number of tax lots. He was unsure of the number of property owners who would be potentially affected by the process. He recollected that in 2003, the City had been able to tell property owners they were included in the inventory but had been unable to tell them what was proposed for their property, which raised alarm. The motion under consideration would ensure that the inventory map and recommendations for each property were brought forward together. The motion passed, 6:1; Mr. Papd voting no. Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 6:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M. Taylor City Manager (Recorded by Kimberly Young) MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 27, 2005 Page 11 Work Session
