Since Lindner Lane is a city street, no street annexation is proposed as part of this application. The .33 acre parcel of land, owned by Kirk Giudici and Jade Elms, is developed with a single-family residence. A map of the property proposed for annexation is included as Attachment A. BACKGROUND In December 2007, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the procedures for annexation requests and amending Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code (EC) to include these procedures. These annexation procedures require the council to adopt a resolution approving, modifying and approving, or denying an application for annexation. The procedures also indicate the council may hold a public hearing before consideration of the annexation request. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria in EC 9.7825 which require that: (1)the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the city limits or separated from city limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2)the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans; and (3)the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Draft findings demonstrate that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria and are included as Exhibit C to the draft resolution (Attachment B). Public notice for this annexation request was provided in accordance with Eugene Code requirements, and no written testimony has been received. As discussed in the attached findings, the proposed request is within the UGB and contiguous to city limits, and can be provided with the minimum level of key urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance, lack of testimony received, and the non-controversial nature of the request, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance.

As such, it is subject to review and approval in accordance with the requirements, application criteria and procedures of EC 9.7800 through 9.7835. The applicable approval criteria are presented below in bold typeface with findings and conclusions following each. EC 9.7825(1) The land proposed to be annexed is within the city’s urban growth boundary and is: (a) Contiguous to the city limits; or (b) Separated from the city only by a public right of way or a stream, bay, lake or other body of water. Complies Findings: The annexation area is within the City's urban growth boundary (UGB), and is contiguous to the City limits, consistent with subsection (a). As shown on the applicant's YES NO map, the City limits are contiguous with the subject area of land along the eastern boundary of the property. Additionally, the street abutting the subject property to the south, Lindner Lane, is already annexed. EC 9.7825(2) The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans. Complies Findings: The proposed annexation area is within the urban growth boundary. Several policies from the Metro Plan generally support this annexation by encouraging compact YES NO urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service provisions within the UGB, including the following: C. Growth Management, Goals, Findings and Policies: Policy 8. Land with the UGB may be converted from urbanizable to urban only through annexation to a city when it is found that: a. A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and efficient manner. b. There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban services and facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the Metro Plan. (page II-C-4) Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the highest priority. (page II-C-4). Policy 16. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions from urbanizable to urban. (page II-C-5) Additionally, both the Metro Plan and the applicable refinement plan, the River Road/Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan designate the annexation area as appropriate for Low Density Residential use. If the annexation is approved, per EC 9.7820(3), the annexation area will remain zoned R-1 Low Density Residential, and the /UL overlay will be automatically removed from the annexation area. As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services, consistent with this Metro Plan policy. The annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and the applicable refinement plan. EC 9.7825(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Complies Findings: The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely YES NO manner as detailed below: Wastewater There is an 8-inch public wastewater line within Lindner Lane, and a 10-inch public wastewater line within Evergreen Drive adjacent to the subject property. Sewer connection records (#21172) indicate a connection to the public system within Lindner Lane to the south, via a 6-inch service line. Based on this, public wastewater is available to the subject property. Stormwater Although Lindner Lane is currently not improved with curb and gutter for directing stormwater, there is an 18-inch public stormwater line within Lindner Lane. There is an existing residence on the property, which is exempt from City stormwater standards. However, any further development of the property may require the applicant to submit a detailed stormwater proposal and demonstrate that all applicable stormwater management standards have been met, including establishing capacity of the receiving system, pre-treating impervious areas prior to discharge, and possibly oil and source controls, depending on proposed development. Public Works staff confirms that on-site stormwater infiltration appears feasible on the subject property, subject to these additional detailed studies, and on-site infiltration testing at the time of future development. Based on this information, stormwater service is available to the subject property. Transportation The subject property has frontage on both Lindner Lane and Evergreen Drive. Currently, access to the property is from Lindner Lane, which is under City of Eugene jurisdiction. Lindner Lane is a local residential street platted with a 50-foot right-of-way width. Evergreen Drive is currently under Lane County jurisdiction, and was also platted with a 50-foot right-of-way width. Comments from Lane County Transportation Planning staff indicate that Evergreen Drive is functionally classified as an Urban Local road, having a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet, except that the right-of-way width may be reduced to a minimum of 45 feet for development setback purposes upon written approval of the County Engineer or designee [LC 15.070(1)(c)(i)(ff)]. Evergreen Drive is maintained by the City of Eugene under the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement. Lane County referral comments confirm support for the annexation request and include additional comments related to future development of the property, which are provided at the end of this report as informational items for the benefit of the applicant. Giudici/Elms (A 10-1) May 2010 Page 2 Solid Waste Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites and the Short Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County. Water and Electric Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) Water staff indicate that there is an existing 4- inch cast iron water main on the north side of Lindner Drive and an existing 6-inch cast iron water main on the west side of Evergreen Drive. EWEB Water staff believe that adequate water service can be made available at the time of development and therefore has no objection to the annexation. EWEB Electric staff state that there are existing EWEB electric overhead facilities surrounding this site and that EWEB Electric has no objection to the proposed annexation request. Public Safety Police protection can be extended to this site upon annexation consistent with service provision through the City. Fire protection will be provided by the City of Eugene Fire Department. Emergency medical services are currently provided on a regional basis by the cities of Eugene and Springfield to central Lane County and will continue in the same manner upon annexation. Parks and Recreation A minimum level of park service can be provided to the proposal area as prescribed in the Metro Plan. Additionally, the subject property is within the park service area for Rosetta Park and the Willamette River regional park and bike way. Planning and Development Services Planning and building permit services are provided for all properties located within the urban growth boundary by the City of Eugene. The Eugene Code, Chapter 9, will provide the required land use controls for future development of the subject property upon annexation. Communications Qwest communications and a variety of other telecommunications providers offer communications services throughout the Eugene/Springfield area. Public Schools The subject property is within Eugene School District 4J.
