WORK SESSION
1. VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY – HAMMER – LRP2004-00029 –
County Rd. 221, a half-mile long abandoned roadway, was vacated in April 2003. The vacation followed negotiations between the City and John Hammer concerning an agreement
dedicating ROW for a multi-use path within the Hammer Industrial Subdivision. Right-of-
way agreements are often negotiated concurrent with a vacation action. In this case, the vacation agreement was signed several months after staff work for the original application
was completed. During negotiations for the multi-use path, a 6636 square-foot parcel was
added to the original vacation application. The added parcel was inadvertently overlooked by staff and the applicant when the vacation application was submitted for action by the
Planning Commission and Council. This action vacates the parcel that was missed during the original vacation process and fulfills
Section 1.A. of the “Agreement Providing for the Vacation of Certain Segments of Olympic Street Right of Way and Providing for Dedication of a Multi-Use Path,” signed by John Hammer and the City of Springfield in February 2003.
The applicant has complied with the conditions of the original vacation application that called
for easements and access ways to be reserved from the right-of-way vacation to protect
access to utilities on the site. No further conditions of approval are recommended for the approval of this request.

The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan sets up a special district that provides funding for
projects to correct blighted conditions within the district. The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan, like all urban renewal plans in Oregon, is required to conform to local land use plans.
In this area, those include, for example, the Glenwood Refinement Plan and the Eugene-
Springfield Metro Plan.
The projects listed in the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan are based on the direction provided through the Glenwood Refinement Plan and the Eugene-Springfield Metro Plan. The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan, by funding public improvement projects needed to correct
blighted conditions, essentially implements land use and economic development plans for Glenwood.
