Councilor Bettman indicated that she had submitted minutes corrections via email. Mayor Piercy deemed <br />the corrections, without objection, approved. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the Consent Calendar with the exception of Items C and D passed unani- <br />mously, 8:0. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Bettman, moved to hold a public hearing for <br />Item C, Annexation Request for Eugene School District 4J (A 008-1). <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz asked what the purpose of holding a public hearing on the school district’s request would <br />be. Lydia McKinney, Associate Planner for the Planning and Development Department (PDD), responded <br />that the School District 4J request was straight forward and the property was already entirely within city <br />limits. She underscored that the item was coming before the council as a result of the ordinance that had <br />abolished the Boundary Commission in Lane County. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz asked what would be accomplished by the annexation. Ms. McKinney replied that staff was <br />responding to the applicant’s request to annex and the applicant had no specific plans at this time for <br />development. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka asked why they would not choose to hold a public hearing. He averred that annexations <br />were a “big deal.” <br /> <br />In response to a question from Councilor Bettman, Ms. McKinney confirmed that the annexation had been <br />noticed according to law, but she did not know how many notices had been sent. She indicated she would <br />find out and let Councilor Bettman know. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman remarked that the objective for annexing could be for the purpose of building a school or <br />it could be to bring the property into the City and then sell it. She saw no reason for not holding a public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion passed, 6:2; councilors Clark and Poling voting in opposition. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called for discussion of Item D. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor opined that neither annexation request was suitable for the Consent Calendar. <br /> <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to deny Item D, theAnnexation <br />Request for Westfair Associates (A 08-2). <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman declared that a UGB expansion was a land use issue, with a process specific to it. She <br />supported denying the application and then the applicant could undertake the process for a MetroPlan <br />amendment. <br /> <br />Ms. McKinney explained that an annexation in cases like this would be the process that would set the UGB. <br />She said one of the reasons staff recommended a public hearing in this instance was that it was not just an <br />annexation, it also included a determination of where the UGB lay. She underscored that they were still <br />trying to determine whether the UGB fell where the neighbors thought it did or where the applicant thought it <br />did. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council July 14, 2008 Page 5 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
