The Willakenzie Area Plan is the applicable refinement plan for the area. The following policy from the Public Facilities and Services element of the plan is applicable to this request (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. Complies Findings: 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 Public Works staff confirms that existing public wastewater facilities are available in within Park View Drive, with three 8-inch stubs intended to serve this site. Stormwater Public Works staff confirms that existing public stormwater facilities are available to serve this parcel, within Park View Drive and County Farm Road. Service is available via an existing 24- inch stormwater line in Park View Drive and via a 60-inch pipe in County Farm Road. 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 The subject property abuts County Farm Road to the east and Park View Drive to the north. As confirmed by City Public Works staff and Lane County Transportation staff, both abutting street segments are under City jurisdiction without need for surrender by another agency. Public Works staff further indicates that access to transportation facilities will be provided via Park View Drive along the north site boundary, and the future extension of Matt Drive through the subject property. Park View Drive is a fully improved neighborhood collector street. No direct access will be permitted on County Farm Road, which transitions from a major collector to a minor arterial south of the subject property, and is not improved to City standards. Solid Waste Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites and the Short Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County. Water and Electric Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) Water staff state that there is an existing 8-inch ductile iron water main on the north side of Park View Drive and a 12-inch cast iron water main on the east side of County Farm Road. EWEB Water staff confirms that adequate water service can be made available at the time of development and therefore has no objection to the annexation. EWEB Electric staff state that there are existing EWEB electric facilities surrounding this site and that EWEB Electric has no objection to the proposed annexation request.
