Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the highest priority. (page II-C-4). Policy 16. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions from urbanizable to urban. (page II-C-5) As addressed below under subsection (3), and consistent with these policies, a minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and efficient manner. The Willakenzie Area Plan is the applicable refinement plan for the area. The following policy, from the Public Facilities and Services element of that plan is applicable to this request (in italic text): 1. The City shall provide for annexation of urbanizable land in a manner consistent with State law as well as local annexation and growth management policies. As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services, consistent with this refinement plan policy. The annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and Willakenzie Area Plan. EC 9.7825(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. Findings: Complies Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, YES NO efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: Wastewater Although public wastewater is not readily available to the subject property, as noted by the applicant and confirmed by Public Works staff, a public wastewater extension is planned as part of the City of Eugene capital improvement project to extend Chad Drive in 2009. Services from the wastewater main to the adjacent properties will also be constructed to the right-of-way boundary as part of the Chad Drive extension project. Stormwater Although public stormwater is not readily available to the subject property, as noted by the applicant and confirmed by Public Works staff, a public stormwater extension is planned as part of the City of Eugene capital improvement project to extend Chad Drive in 2009. Public swales will be constructed within the right-of-way which will drain into new pipes varying in diameter from 18-inches to 24-inches depending on location, ultimately connecting to the existing public stormwater system to the south of the subject properties. Services from the stormwater main will be made available to adjacent properties. Future development will be subject to the City’s stormwater development standards, which include pollution reduction and possibly oil and source controls in addition to destination standards. Transportation Public Works staff state that the subject properties have frontage on Old Coburg Road. This segment of Old Coburg Road is currently under Lane County jurisdictional authority and is not Old Coburg Road (A 08-7) February 2009 Page 2
