Attachment C - Application Materials Highway requested for inclusion is also outside of the fire district boundaries, which are located along the centerline of the portion of Ayres Road west of N Delta Highway. The fire district contracts with the City of Eugene for fire services within its boundaries. Upon the effective date of the annexation, the portion of the annexed area, either as originally submitted or as modified, that is within the fire district will be automatically withdrawn from the district in accordance with ORS 199.510(2)(a). The city will provide fire services directly to the entire annexed area. A city fire station is located less than two miles east of the proposed annexation at 697 Goodpasture Island Road. Upon annexation, the area will be annexed automatically into the Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District [ORS 199.510(2)(c)]. This special district was formed to provide the financing for the regional wastewater treatment plant serving wastewater users within the cities of Eugene and Springfield and other users within the urbanizable area. This request, as originally submitted or as modified, is consistent with this standard. Consider the orderly determination and adjustment of local government boundaries to best meet the needs of Lane County and Oregon. Consider alternative solutions where intergovernmental options are identified and make decisions based on the most effective long - range option among identified alternatives. ORS 199.410(1), 199.410(2), and 199.410(3)(a) and (e) The area in this annexation request, as originally submitted or as modified, is located within the acknowledged urban growth boundary (UGB) of the Metro Plan. The annexation area, as originally submitted or as modified, is south, east, and north of the urban growth boundary. The UGB is coterminous with the annexation area along its southerly boundary and along the westerly property line of tax lot 305. Territory within the UGB ultimately will be within the City of Eugene. Eugene is the unit of government identified in the Metro Plan to provide urban services to territory in this area. The proposed annexation is contiguous to the main body of the City of Eugene. Annexation of tax lotted properties and existing road rights -of -way (in this case, N Delta Road and Ayres Road) fulfills the policies adopted in the Metro Plan of annexing out to the urban growth boundary. The incremental process of annexation causes short-term boundaries to be established. The acknowledged comprehensive plan identifies the City of Eugene as the unit of government that will provide urban services to this urbanizable area within the UGB. In the long term, territory within this geographic area will be annexed to Eugene. Including existing road rights -of -way in the annexation area will connect together other transportation infrastructure already in the city. This annexation is consistent with boundary policies (1), (2), (5), and (7) which recognize method of servicing urbanizable land. commission administrative rule implementing annexation to an existing city as the preferred LCLGBC Staff Notes (c EU 06 - ion — February 2, 2006 Page IV -17-5
