Rodney Meyers, Springfield, said he has a shop near Cedar Creek. He said if <br />there are setbacks, he asked what the affect would be on the operation of his shop. <br /> <br />Leiken indicated that what was submitted tonight will be part of the record. He <br />added that failure to raise an issue to enable a response, may preclude an appeal to <br />LUBA. He stated that only persons who qualify as a party may appeal the actual <br />decision of the elected officials to LUBA. <br /> <br />Commissioner Leiken closed the Public Hearing for the Lane County Board of <br />Commissioners. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy closed the Public Hearing for the Eugene City Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Lundburg closed the Public Hearing for the Springfield City Council. <br /> <br />Stewart said this has been going on for a number of years and the Board gave <br />direction over a year ago to move forward with this phased approach. He added it <br />was the recommendation because Springfield was further ahead in their UGB <br />work than Eugene and Lane County was approached with Mrs. Robinson’s family <br />issue and he thought it was one of the most logical ways to move it forward to fix. <br />He stated that this metro boundary is specific to Springfield. He indicated this <br />exercise is trying to find out if the metro boundary is appropriate and having the <br />discussion to see if it is worthy to have it go back to a different location or leave it <br />alone. <br /> <br />Handy thought they had the cart before the horse on this issue. He noted in River <br />Road and Santa Clara, a Mr. and Mrs. Getty fell into a no man’s land. He <br />indicated that the Board worked for a legislative fix to address that particular <br />parcel. He added that was passed in the legislature without any controversy. He <br />said it avoided the bigger issue that has unintended consequences they haven’t <br />looked at. He thought they should look at a site specific redesignation to look at <br />to address the concerns of some of the property owners without their moving into <br />the bigger proposal. He wanted a fifth or sixth option to address Mrs. Robinson <br />and others’ concerns while they have broader concerns about the bigger issue. <br /> <br />Ralston stated that he did not have a problem with the phased approach as it made <br />sense. He said according to what they have heard tonight, for the areas between <br />the Metro Plan Boundary and the city limits, Lane County will have sole decision <br />making authority. He thought those areas were close enough to Springfield that <br />Springfield should have code decision making. He did not like an all or nothing <br />proposition. He didn’t like any of the options but he said if they change the <br />boundaries and go the phased in route, that Eugene, Springfield and Lane County <br />would have code decision making. He said for Phase 2 he would support Eugene <br />and Lane County having authority on their sections too. He added if the areas <br />outlined are going to be solely for Lane County decision making, then he <br />wouldn’t support it. <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
