In response to a question from Mr. PapS, Mr. Boggs said that demand would require the parallel runway when the airport's activity was 80 percent of its annual service volume. He added that the maintenance cost of runway 321, the existing cross wind runway, was also driving the need for a new parallel runway. In response to further questions from Mr. PapS, Mr. Boggs said that he would be glad to review the alternatives considered for runway placement. He added that currently the airport owned all the property required to construct a parallel runway. In response to a question from Mr. Torrey about the possibility of increased cargo business from the Portland airport if Portland did not build a new runway, Mr. Boggs said that the discussion about this possibility was ongoing. Mr. Kelly explained that his biggest concern with the plan was the parking expansion. He said that he would feel more comfortable adopting the plan if there was some statement that reflected a change in how parking capacity was planned and that it was not just a linear extrapolation from the past. He suggested also including consideration of changes in alternate modes of transportation such as the airport shuttle. Mr. Boggs said that he agreed with Mr. Kelly and reiterated that parking was a demand-driven issue. Mr. Kelly responded by pointing out that there was a growth management, transportation demand management, and air quality management component that should be taken into account as well. Lastly, Mr. Kelly asked if the Green Hill Road project was under the Year 2000 Runway 321 Safety Improvements in the CIP. Mr. Boggs said that it was. Mr. Rayor left the meeting at 7 p.m. C. Work Session: Ordinance Concerning Key Waterways, And Adding Sections 6.650, 6.655, 6.660, 6.665, And 6.670 to the Eugene Code, 1971 Mr. Johnson introduced City Engineer Les Lyle to make the staff presentation. Mr. Lyle introduced Carol Heinkel from the Lane Council of Governments and Therese VValch from Public Works Engineering Division, both of whom helped to put the ordinance concerning key waterways together. Mr. Lyle used a Powerpoint presentation to review with the councilors the handout titled Key Storm Waterways. He noted that one of the Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan (CSWMP) goals was to address community need for flood protection, stormwater water quality, and related natural resources protection. In order to meet that goal, Mr. Lyle said that the proposal identified key storm waterways, clarified which waterways would remain open and be a part of the stormwater system, and enhanced authority for protecting key waterways. He continued with the presentation with an overview of the following issues: · The multiple benefits of waterways · Other policies impacted and supported by this proposal · Criteria for identifying key waterways · Strategy to protect key storm waterways · Example waterways meeting key waterway criteria · Example waterways not meeting key waterway criteria MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 27, 1999 Page 7 5:30 p.m.
