ATTACHMENT 1 WRITTEN COMMENTS SUBMITTED BY APRIL 3RD " ATTACHMENT 1-1 .. -0- .. _..- KARP Gary From G Wagenblast [gngw@comcast net] Sent Tuesday, Apnl 03, 2007 5 59 PM To KARP Gary Subject Case #LRP 2006-00027 and ZON 2006-00054 To Spnngfield Planning CommisSion Re Public Heanng Testimony I would like to address some concerns regarding the rezoning of the site on Marcola Road, formerly known as Pierce Property I think It IS Important to address these concerns before making a recommendation to the city counsel First, and I think foremost, IS the Issue of the medium density residential zone I recognize that In the onglnal zoning, there was an area of medium density residential that was Included In the Metro Plan However, Increasing this area would add approximately 200 more residences than were onglnally Intended This would have a significant effect on the local region I have based these numbers off an average of 12 5 homes per acres With the nodal development However, at the public heanng, the planner mentioned that the master plan could Include up to 20 homes per acre That would be catastophlc to the nPlghborhood I would Implore you to consider this when making your deCISion The first effect that this would have IS the significant Increase In traffic pattern In an already busy region, adding an enormous amount of cars would put an undue strain on the road system that has been established This IS also a concern In the medium denSity residential. as the lot size IS so small that children In this area will almost certainly need to walk somewhere to play The Increased traffic Will be a nsk for these children The second effect would also Involve children That would be the Increase to the school system In that area Although the Metro Plan did Include some medium denSity residential, an additional amount of medium denSity residential would definitely overpopulate already crowded schools The addition of 435 dwellings would certainly bnng children to the area Yolanda Elementary School has large class sizes now and Bnggs Middle School has children doubled up In lockers currently With this Issue In mind, the planner also needs to be cognizant of the fact that the school yards should not be considered open spaces for the future medium denSity reSidential I feel that either a new school, or outbuildings Will have to be considered to handle the additional Influx of students which would drastically change the school grounds The third thing that I would like the counsel to consider IS the drainage Issue The land In question IS currently a fairly major wetland Although the planner has addressed changing the drainage ditch to a seasonal creek, that drainage ditch IS already In eXistence and we stili have flooding Issues associated With that piece of property I feel that the planner would have to be very aware of water runoff and the direction of runoff The neighborhood behind the field IS often affected by the rainwater and thiS results In boggy yards from winter to early summer Many of the aforementioned Issues could be resolved by changing to a lower denSity residential Instead of a medium denSity residential ThiS would decrease the Influx of both people and cars to a much more manageable level ThiS would also address the need for children to have space to play The 1-2 4/4/2007 - --~- - --- development of extremely small lots Just contnbutes to a stagnate society We should be advocates for children to be outside Instead of sitting In front of televISions A larger lot size would make an aesthetically pleasing neighborhood that could be considered an asset rather than a hindrance I appreciate your consideration In thiS Issue Slncerely- Greg Wagenblast FREE Ammatlons for your email - by IncredlMall' -- c,,"ck-Here'j /\;1, - ,:~:\1'.!..... ,....,'-_....<~~ ,..... ~-..-...... r- ('"-,-:;1 "\ '-';-," ---t~ ~\.,:J \J~ 1-3 4'4/2007 ~~' f7'rl~T\ Tr:-'~ .I' t'",_ ~:- '1 7Yl",u/t/ $-<nJ 7 ,~PR a 3 Z007 0"t 11;...-1 "'~, ' ~ / ,~ ./ 0/. . 7..pv! ~ A/V1 //1./ /~'J '< -1 wv, 71 . <<. /./::"~{fl:'</Y'1 L/Z' '/ z,/ '" ~..:AA' ....- , ,., ~ /;;- .1 I:r- r .7' '" ':; d,' / f?V /o"J./{/c-rd-r... /' I} x)jc' 11A/>7vc~jit7c' I ;, /~-(1r1::/ '/7 /'or 71 't / .I~vV c!oJiJM:X:VJAtV;~ 4 JU /~ ~ ~1~v'- cln~ ;f-1t d! ~ A/, ~r, , I (; / rJ..Lt<.-' 1/ ~v kU /)1A'~ .Ai-./--c:--!~)-"./: o ;# )vU'J /~ ;tI-1PYk"1 ~-y)/Vt~ 1~~vbY7f /1 ry' .-/-!

master plan revIew process The conditIon called for lamp Improvements at the Mohawk/Eugene-Spnngfield HIghway mterchange Mr McKenney spoke to the traffic analysIs, saymg Spnngfield and ODOT staff were satIsfied that the analYSIS was accurate and adequate In regard to the zone change, traffic engmeers must make assumptlOns about the type of development that would occur, and they focus on the mtenslty to be expected m a "reasonable worst case development scenano" The result was measured agamst the Goal 12 cntena and compared to what had been assumed would take place Mr McKenney Said the engmeers looked at the tnps antIcIpated m the "reasonable worst case scenano" and bUIlt a structure mto the land use approval process that precluded further development after the traffic generated by the proposed development reached a certam lId He remmded the commiSSIOn that was the approach taken to the Peace Health plan amendment Contmumg, Mr McKenney Said one concern about such an approach was that the first phases of a development could take up all the capaCIty under the hd, miling later phases more problematIc and potentIalleavmg empty land He Said the condItIon of approval recommended took a dIfferent approach Staff recommended that wlthm each zone m the proposal, the number of umts of development, whether thousands of square feet of commerCIal or number of umts of reSIdentIal, be hmited Mr McKenney Said that another Issue that staff addressed through a condltlOn of approval related to the Impact that would result from development under the proposed rezonmg The draft analYSIS

CommISSIoner Cross asked when mIll gallon would occur Mr McKenney said It would be reqUIred to be m place pnor to the occupancy of any new bUlldmg on the sIte The restnpmg would create an addItIOnal

to a quesllon from CommissIOner Cross, Mr McKenney said the mterchange to the east was not expected to handle most of the traffic commg from the east The 42nd Street mterchange was not as close and was not the pnmary route people chose to use Staff beheved that most people would choose to the use the Interchange closest to the sIte, and the Mohawk exchange was closest He confinned, m response to a follow-up questIOn from Comrllls~lOner Cross, that the center turn would be able to go both straIght and left today one could not go to the left There would be two lanes from whIch people could make a left turn Mr Karp spoke to the Issue of complIance wIth StatewIde Goal 9, EconomIc Development He saId that In 2001, the CIty Council demed a Metro Plan amendment to change 7 79 acres of Campus Industnal to Commumty Commercwl to accommodate a Home Depot He noted the apphcant submItted the apphcatlons In September 2006, pnor to the effecllve date of the recent changes of Goal 9, CommercIal and Industnal Lands Study from 2001, are sllll the ones m effect today The recently adopted Natural Resource Study fine tuned the COIlli11erc131 and lndustnal Land Inventones What we haven't had IS a complete revIeW of the mam Inventones There may be a future Commerclal/Industnal BUIldable Lands Study, which will be outSIde the realm of thIs project There are sllll only two Campus Industnal sItes In the commumty, one IS at Gateway and the other IS the PIerce property The draft Jasper-Natron SpeCific Development Plan proposes to add to the Campus Industnal Inventory, but It was yet to be adopted Mr Karp dIscussed what had changed since 200 I, saymg that m regard to the Campus Industnal zone, there appeared to be growmg demand for business park uses The zomng dlstnct was pnmanly Intended to be an mdustnal zomng dlstnct, and In 2004 the CIty made some changes to the mix of uses to ensure that 60 percent was dedIcated to mdustnal/research and 40 percent could accommodate bUSiness parks That apphed to the PIerce sIte However, most ofthe demand happening on the Gateway Campus Industnal sIte was for commercwl office uses Mr Karp said thIS staff report mcluded a hst of 20-25 uses currently at that SIte There was one mdustnal use, Shorewood Packagmg, and the remainder was developed In such uses as call centers or bUSiness parks - 3 - 4-4 DRAFT Mil', JTES Mr Karp beheved there was a change m the nature of the demand smce the adoptIon of the Campus Industnal desIgnahon The Sony plant sltmg was an example of the type of use that was contemplated, that use lasted about five years and became obsolete The Sony bUlldmg was now m use for medIcal research Mr Karp suggested the lack of Campus Industnal development on the PIerce sIte was due to the relatJVe proXImIty ofthe Kmgsford Charcoal plant, the raIl lme, and electnc hnes He SaId the Home Depot applIcatJOn was for a pIecemeal development and the proposal m questJOn was for the entJre property Mr Karp saId the COmITIlSsJOn's decISIon needed to consIder whether the CIty would be better served by the apphcatJOn He beheved that a quahty development would be constructed m hme COmlTIlSsJOner Beyer beheved the commlSSJOn faced the quahtatJVe decIsJOn of whether It was better to put the SIte mto more commercIal use He recalled hIS past arguments for Campus Industnal zomng on the SIte, but dIsagreed wIth Mr Karp's assessment that there had been no mterest expressed m locatmg an mdustnal use on the property He had worked wIth several people, some of who went so far as to develop SIte plans, who tned to locate an mdustnal use on the property but they had dId not have a wllhng seller However, he thought the commISSIon needed to focus on the best use of the propeliy Mr Karp SaId he dId not dIsagree wIth ComnllsSJOner Beyer's assessment COITIlTIlSSJOner Cross recalled that there were other Issues related to the sUltabIhty of the property Mr Karp noted the plevJOusly mentIoned proxlInate uses,

the Kmgsford plant, worked agamst the SIte as hIgh tech 10catJon CommlssJOner Beyer thought there was also a perceptIon of transpoftatJon problems at the SIte and agreed about Mr Metzger's assessment of the Kmgsford SIte He thought there was also a perceptJOn related to power I1nes and the vIbratJOn from raIl lInes, but pomted out that many hIgh tech SItes m Oregon were m located on ~lITI1larly hampered SItes and whIle It was a concern, It dId not preclude such uses from bemg located on those sItes I CommlssJOner Cross asked If the proposed use could be srted at another locahon Iflt was , not to be accommodated at thIS SIte Mr Mott saId the State, through the penodlc revrew process, dId not order the CIty to evaluate rts mdustnalland from eIther the demand or supply SIde, and no one

what types of bus messes were attracted to the commumty, and the CIty CouncIl had not yet dIscussed how to pOSitIOn Spnngfield for those busmesses The State reqUIred the CIty to have a 20-year mventory, but did not stipulate m the past the type of analYSIS that would legltllmze the mventory m tenns of both quantity and the usabIlIty of the sItes for dIfferent sectors of the economy Mr Mott suggested a manufactunng busllless might not be as concerned WIth a supply of developable acres as It was WIth the qualIty of lIfe, hIgh educatIOnal qualIty, and better medIcal facll1t1es, and mIght compromise on the qualIty of the sIte It selected for those factors Spnngfield staff expected to engage m a dIscussIOn of that tOpIC WIth the councIl and the commumty at the start of the next fiscal year At thIs pomt, he belIeved the CIty was operatmg under antIquated notIOns about the mdustnal sector was and what It could be expected to be m the future, and had done no analYSIS or planmng outsIde of a few discrete actIOns, such as the ImplementatIOn of the urban renewal dlstnct m Glenwood and the draft jasper-Natron SpecIfic Development Plan Mr Mott saId the law was clear as to the need for a 20-year mventory, but It was not clear that the expectatIOn was that the 20-year would be a rollmg mventory, that IS, there would always be a 20-year supply WhIle It was 1I11practlcal to thmk there would be, he belIeved the CIty needed to evaluate what was needed, perhaps on five-year cycles PenodIc deletIOns of the mventory had some affect, but he dId not thl!y< the overall signIficance of that could be detenmned untIl a cyclIcal e\ aluatlOn occurred Mr Beyer suggested that CommIssIOner Cross' questIOn was, If not here, where, wlthm Spnngfield, and was that a concern He SaId he both agreed and disagreed WIth Mr Mott He saId III realIty, commumtles do not count umts and then factor In projectlOn growth and denSity factors to detenmne how much land was needed, Instead, realIty was opportumty-based He hoped that staff C0l11l11lSSlOned some commerCIal and Illdustnal brokers to reVIew the eXIstIng Inventory and how It related to reglOnal demand, dS he belIeved that demand was more reglOnalIll nature than local Mr Beyer also hoped that staff talked to the State EconomIC Development Depmiment to learn what kInds of requests for land It was receIvmg It was C0l11lmSSIOner Beyer's perceptIOn that the metropolItan area had no land, even for local growth He offered as an example the glOwth occumng m Coburg, whIch he attnbuted to a lack ofland m the metropolItan area He pOInted out that 3,000 to 5,000 people were workmg each day III a town WIth a population of 800 only 1-1/2 mIles from Spnngfield's border That was where the land was, and the metropolItan area was now grapplmg WIth what to do WIth the sewer from the growth Coburg expenenced He saId the Issue was where were the sItes avaIlable that people wanted to use, addmg 11 was questIonable whether the SIte m questIOn was a good mdustnal site and perhaps better used for housmg However, C0l11lmSSlOner Beyer questlOned whether the City should change the zone because of a lack of need for the land, and questlOned If the commlSSlOn had the mformatlOn It needed to make that judgment - 5 - 4-6 DRAFT Mll'~, ,JTES Mr Mot! clanfied he was not suggestmg that he and Mr Metzger were gomg to commence on an mdustnaJ lands study on July I, the budget allocatlOn he antJclpated would be used to hIre professionals He said the commISSIon dId not need to substItute the SIte for another SIte, It was not an approval cntenon or a reqUIrement of Goal 9 However, the cOlmmSSlOn needed to respond to the effect ofthe proposal on the mventory, and the effect on the mventory would be reductIon of 56 acres of Campus Industnal from the mventory CommIssIoner Cross questIoned how the commlSSlOn could'JustIfy the proposal as beneficIal to Spnngfield If It was unable to understand the true benefit behmd It Mr Mot! noted that the commlSSlOn had yet to hear all the eVIdence He pomted out that any time the City made such a change anywhere It was replacmg one deSIgnatIOn for another He suggested the saine questlOns WIth respect to the appropnateness of the sIte for the mtended use, not Just the eXlstJng use He saId the commlSSlOn had to assume, because It lacked eVIdence to the contrary, that the CIty made the nght deCISIon at some pomt m the past to deSIgnate the SItes as they were, as It had all worked out m the past and the mfrastructure was deSIgned around what was mtended for the SIte As time passed and pohcles became dated or the appropnateness of the sIte passes by for what ever reason, there was an Il11twtlve to change the property's deslgnatJon and the developers made that argument to the CIty The cOlmmSSlOn had to weIgh the facts and whether the polICIes m the plan supported the actlOn Mr Mot! reIterated that the con1l111SSlOn dId not have to make up the reductlOn m the deslgnatJon somewhere else, although that mIght occur through anot?er process Mr Metzger reported that Department of Land ConservatJon and Development staff had mdlcated ItS preference that the CIty's staffreport be based on adopted mventones that were currently part of the record The most recent mdustnal mventory was done m 1992, and It had suggested that there would be 1,500 to 2, I 00 surplus acres beyond the 20-year supply The State duected the CIty to evaluate the reductIon agaIDst the surplus, rather than the 20-year supply Itself, and suggested that If the CIty "l11bbled away" at the surplus It should theoretically be okay The findmg was that 56 acres could be accommodated agamst the surplus Mr Metzger recalled Spnngfield's 2000 Con1l11ercwl Lands Study, whIch found the commul11ty short of supply by about 356 acres The CIty had added to the projected shortfall through other actlOns, reducmg It to about 172 acres He saId staff beheved that Spnngfield mIght have a shortage of commercIal land and surplus of mdustnallands Mr Metzger emphaSIzed the need to update the BUIldable lands mventory and noted the recent CommercIal and Industnal BUIldable Lands Study, whIch mdlcated that more work was needed to detenmne what the mventory was He SaId that demand was another I factor, and the study dId not address that Issue Mr Metzger belIeved that the I commISSIon could trust mtUltJvely that Spnngfield needed more commercIal land I - 6 - 4-7 DRAFT Mil JTES " Comn1lSSlOner Beyer believed the study mentIOned by Mr Metzger lacked a qualltatlve aspect as It treated every square foot ofland the same, and there was a dIfference There were many smaller sItes wIth an acute shortage of large sItes ChOIces were narrow Mr Metzger emphasIzed the draft nature of the Jasper-Natron SpecIfic Development Plan He said the Jasper extensIOn had a good chance of gomg through, and If It was constructed the CIty would need to examme and rearrange the development patterns m the vlcmlty He noted the draft plan called for about 178 acres of new Campus lndustnal land m that area Mr Beyer asked about capacIty m the sewer Ime, Ifthe Ime would have to be moved, and If the desIgn proposed functIOned wIth It Mr Karp saId the lme would not have to be moved The Issue of capaCIty would be addressed at the master plannmg stage Mr Beyer recalled Issues related to sewer capaCIty m thIS area, and thought the CIty had done somethmg to address that However, he noted the added resldentlal umts bemg proposed and asked If the system was able to handle the addltlonalload Mr Karp saId yes Mr Beyer detenmned from Mr Karp that the dItch would remalll an open dItch and would be relocated Mr Metzger Said the dltd, was manmade and the Army Corps of Engmeers had no Junsdlctlon and the DIVISIOn of State Lands had no objectIOn to the relocatlon Mr Beyer asked If the dItch was a Sot! al1d Water ConservatIOn Dlstnct facIlity Mr Karp Said the dItch was part ofthe CIty'S stann sewer system COImmsslOner Cole asked If the CIty was "playmg favontes" gIven that he perceIved the CIty Mr Karp suggested that depended on whether one thought the sltuatlon had changed over tune He pomted out the change m the use of Campus lndustnal and the fact the development proposal coveled the entlre sIte as changes m cIrcumstances Mr Mott recalled that the commISSIOn had recommended to the councIl that It approve the Home Depot proposal, and the CIty CouncIl decIded agamst It He saId the commISSIOn needed to conSIder whether any of the uses bemg contemplated were unacceptable tradeoffs m companson to the potentIal uses that could be located under the current plan deSIgnatIOn and zone I I Mr Karp explamed that the area IS a proposed Nodal Development ~rea, WhICh calls for a mIxed-use development ThIs proposal IS the type of Imxed-use development that would occur at thIS property : \ I I CommISSIoner Cole asked If the proposed development was conSIdered by staff to be nodal development or a partIal nodal development Mr Mott responded that there IS no standard bluepnnt for a Node Staff understands why CItIzens may thml that IS the case The gUIdance that the TPR prOVIdes IS that a Node has certam elements to It It mIght be on a major transportatIOn Ime or comdor, there's transIt servIce aVailable, the development WIll allow blke/ped throughout the type of uses that are attracted to It, - 7 - 4-8 DRAFT MTI JTES wIthIn the Node there IS never more than 1. mIle dIstance between the transIt faclhty and the activIties whether It be somethmg

Spnngfield has desIgnated two sItes that at e much smaller CommISSIOner Cross asked If the proposal IS more Nodal than Just a standard development Mr Mott responded that the plan desIgnatIOn there IS 9 acres of commerCIal, 36 acres of medIUm denSIty reSIdential and 55 acres of campus Industnal There IS no mUl.ed-use zomng, no nodal overlay, so there IS no reason to beheve that under the current plan and zomng that anythlllg approXImatmg a Node would develop There IS the potential that a developer could proVIde bIke and pedestnan connectIOn through-out the campus mdustnal over to the reSIdentIal One of the pomts ofhavmg a Nodal deSIgnatIOn and receIVIng dIrectIOn from CouncIl IS to apply the Nodal deSIgnatIOn on certam sItes So that we are guaranteed that certam attnbutes of a

that the handout of development rendenngs was submItted to show pOSSIble scenano ThIs IS not what the development would look hke, the Master Plan wIll make that detenmnatIOn CommiSSIOner KlTSchenmann asked Mr Karp about the letter receIved from DLCD He asked If 56 acres represent 29% of the eXlstmg CI, as oftoday There IS a paragraph m the letter WhICh calculate; It to about 194 acres deSIgnated CI nght now Mr Karp responded that the COImmssIOners can look at the IllfonnatIOn m a couple of dIfferent ways Gateway has 275 acres, some of that IS m the CIty, some IS m the UGB, and you have the 56 acres at the PIerce property, so there IS probably more than what DLCD IS statmg m the letter Mr Karp went on to say that m relatIOn to DLCD's conunents, there IS gomg to be a letter submItted mto the
