the floodway will require a no -rise analysis and certification meeting FEMA Region X standards. This would be required as part of a floodplain development permit for any development within the floodway that is outside ODOT right -of -way but still in Eugene. The floodway is a high hazard area typically associated with high velocity flows that is necessary to convey floodwaters out of our community. Finding #42. In February 2009, ODOT prepared and submitted a Hydraulic and ScourAnolysis Report, including "No- Rise" analysis, to analyze the hydraulic conditions for the 1 -5 Replacement Bridge project to determine the effects of the required construction activities to the 100 -year floodplain during and after construction. The report concluded that the Willamette River 1 -5 Replacement Bridge project would have a minimal impact on flood levels during a 100 -year event. Finding #43. The proposed South Bank Viaduct will be constructed at the same location on the south bank of the Willamette River as the 1 -5 Replacement Bridges. Although a new analysis may be required, it is likely that the viaduct will contribute little to flood elevations in the event of a 100 -year flood event, given the small area affected by the project compared to the Replacement Bridge project. Goal 8– Recreational Needs. This goal calls for each community to evaluate its areas and facilities for recreation and develop plans to deal with the projected demand for them. Finding #44. Willamalane Park and Recreation District is the entity responsible for park planning, development and maintenance in the subject park areas within Springfield. In 2004, Willamalane completed the Willamalane Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan that was adopted by both the City of Springfield and Lane County as a refinement plan to the Metro Plan. Finding #45. Willamalane's Comprehensive Plan shows the proposed South Bank Viaduct (South Bank Trail) on Map 3— "Existing and Proposed Multiuse Paths and Bike Ways." Finding #46. Several City documents anticipate a multi -use path connecting Eugene and Springfield on the south side of the Willamette River. Additionally, as previously mentioned under Goal 2, the TransPlan Future Bikeway Project Map shows an off - street bike facility running along the south bank of the Willamette River underneath the 1 -5 Bridge. This bikeway is identified as project #851 South Bank Trail (A) (jurisdiction: Springfield). The viaduct would then connect with the existing bike path on the Eugene side of 1 -5, shown as an existing off - street bike facility on the TransPlan Financially- Constrained Bikeway System Projects map. Goal 9– Economic Development. Goal 9 calls for diversification and improvement of the economy. It asks communities to inventory commercial and industrial lands, project future needs for such lands, and plan and zone enough land to meet those needs. Finding #47. The proposed Metro Plan text amendment does not reduce the inventory of commercial and industrial lands. Finding #48. The South Bank Viaduct will be both an important transportation facility for bike commuters and pedestrians connecting Eugene and Springfield. It is also an amenity with the Attachment 1 -11
