needed for urban levels of development.) In o_ rder to facilitate agreements for rotecti on and public management of the Iii 11 ow Creek wetl ands _area, the City of Eu ene will initiate annexation of the wetlands area and conti uousl owned buildable properties provided the three affected property owners agree to such action. In the short--term, a non -urban zonin cl assi fi cati,v , such as AG, a ri cul ture and Grazin District-, shall be a lied to these properties until 4Rpropriate conditions have been met to p_rovi de for urban development. 2. Change the explanation of policy C -3 (page 8 of the draft Report) to read Experience shows that increased urbanization will result in the necessity to improve storm runoff facilities. In this case, the existing Amazon Channel will become part of the major storm run- off system for the Basin. (Further analysis will) A thorough analysis shall indicate if ultimate urbanization of the Willow Creek Basin will result in capacity or flow problems, and if so, what remedial actions are necessary. Implementation measures should attempt to balance protection of bottoml and in the Basin from storm run -off against the need for maintenance of appropriate moisture levels ( quantity and quality) for vegetation in the natural area. 3. Add an additional financial section to the draft report which would read as follows, X. FINANCING Development of the W i l l o w Creek Basin represents the equivalent of construction of a new city. At ultimate development, the Basin could provide homes for about 20,000 people, and places of employment for about 17,500 employees. This represents a city with a population roughly equivalent to the cities of Milwaukee, Hillsboro or Albany (1980 populations) and employment approximately equal to the combined levels of Albany and Millersburg. These comparisons suggest that costs of providing services to the entire Basin can appropriately be reviewed in the .context of capital costs required to develop a new medium size city in Oregon. Information obtained from the Bureau of Governmental Research, at the University of Oregon, indicates that the total estimatated value of the fixed assets inventory for the City of Hillsboro, 1981 population of 28,650, is roughly $32.5 million. This excludes costs for schools, electrical distribution systems, and transit facilities. significantly this estimate is generally based on acquisition costs and not replacement costs. It can be estimated that actual replacement costs could double the total value of the fixed asset inventory, i . e . repl acment cost could be about $65 million. Table 5 indicates that costs for delivery of services to the Basin (excludin schools,-electrical distribution systems and transit facilities are currently y estimated to be about $26.5 - $28.5 million (1982 dollars) . A. Estimated Service Costs In Willow Creek Table 5 shows estimated costs by component and service which will ultimately be involved in providing service to the W i l l o w Creek Basin. 5
