1. Planning commission Deliberation and Decision on Establishment of the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line for
Property in Glenwood – The public hearing request was closed on March 19, 2014 the written record was left open until 5:00
p.m. March 24, 2014.
Senior Planner Mark Metzger presenting the topic for tonight.
The Wildish Land Company has submitted a request to establish the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line for
property it owns in Glenwood. The Planning Commission and the Springfield Hearings Official conducted a public
hearing on the proposal on March 19, 2014. The public hearing was closed, but the record was held open and the
applicant was directed to submit aerial photos with the proposed setback line superimposed at a scale that will allow
a more accurate delineation of the setback line with respect to existing vegetation along the Willamette River.
At the request of the Springfield Hearings Official and the Planning Commission, Wildish has submitted a revised
package of aerial maps showing the proposed setback line at a scale of 1”=100’ (Attachment 1). The aerial maps are
at a scale comparable to the 2004 Salix Associates maps showing their recommended setback line.
The applicant proposes to draw the setback line “at the upland extent of the riparian vegetation (Riparian Edge, or ten feet 10’)
from top of bank, which ever is greater.”
In 2004, Salix Associates, an environmental consultancy, was contracted to recommend a Greenway Setback Line
for Glenwood based on the standards found in SDC 3.3-325. The Salix report (Attachment 2 of the March 19th
Planning Commission packet) included a series of aerial photos with the recommended setback line superimposed.
Photos 14-20 are applicable to the Wildish property. The setback recommended by Salix for the Wildish site is
consistent with the setback proposed by the applicant.
The Staff Report and Recommendation (Attachment 1 of the March 19th Planning Commission packet), includes
findings which support approval of the proposed Willamette River Greenway Setback Line as submitted.
Commissioner James asked if the maps received……………… Mark responded that the maps presented…………………
