WORK SESSION: <br />Envision Eugene <br />City Attorney Emily Jerome reviewed the motion still on the table: <br />Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Farr, moved to direct the City Manager to prepare, for a <br />formal adoption process, planning documents to establish a new Urban Growth <br />Boundary based on recommendations in the Technical Components Document <br />(Attachment A), and that carry forward the pillars and strategies described in the <br />Envision Eugene Draft Proposal, March 14, 2012. <br />Ms. Jerome reviewed the amendments to the motion made by the council on June 11. <br />Responding to a question from Mayor Piercy, Planning Director Lisa Gardner confirmed that the City's <br />consultant had confirmed the DAG Trust Partnership property could be included in the Goal 5 analysis. <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to amend Attachment A, Technical <br />Components document, by adding the DAG Trust property to a list of potential single - <br />family home expansion areas that staff will continue to analyze in the Land for Single - <br />Family Homes section of the manager's recommendation, column box D. <br />Mr. Poling believed the property should be studied for its residential potential because of several <br />important considerations, including that the property was directly adjacent to the urban growth boundary <br />(UGB), was in one ownership in four parcels totaling 300 acres, was undeveloped, and the owner desired <br />to be included in the UGB while the owners of other properties being contemplated for addition did not. <br />There were no wetlands or hydraulic soils on the property, it contained few slopes, and was not intensely <br />managed for resource purposes now. <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Zelenka, Ms. Gardner reviewed the staff analysis that would be <br />required and confirmed that staff was likely to analyze the property anyway. Further analysis would not <br />be an issue but she cautioned the council that there were hurdles to including the property inside the <br />UGB, including that it was not already designated for development. <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council June 13, 2012 Page 1 <br />Work Session <br />
