September 25, 2008 Rob Inerfeld Eugene City Transportation Manager Celia Barry Lane County Transportation Manager Subject: Referral of proposed amendments to the Eugene-Springfield Transportation System Plan (TransPlan): Delete the West Eugene Parkway from the project list and add ODOT facility projects West II th Avenue from Terry to Greenhill and Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway to the constrained project list. Dear Rob and Celia: The City of Springfield has received the subject TransPlan amendment referrals. We agree with the classification of these amendments as Type II, site-specific changes to the plan diagram and plan text. We also agree that the two ODOT projects, being within the city limits of Eugene, are the sole responsibility of the Eugene City Council; and the WEP, being between the city limits and plan boundary, is the joint responsibility of Eugene and Lane County elected officials. However, pursuant to Springfield Development Code Section.5.14-135(B)(2); Eugene Code 9.7730(2)(b); and Lane Code 12.225(1)(b), the Springfield City Council may participate as a decision-maker in a Type II amendment between the city limits and plan boundary upon a determination of regional impact and affirmative decision to participate. After review of these referrals, the City Council declined further examination for the purpose of determining regional impact or consideration of participation as a decision- maker; however the Council does reserve the right to participate as a party in these matters. Please place this correspondence in the record of these post-acknowledgment plan amendments. Cordially, Gregory Mott Planning Manager cc: Mayor and City Council Date RecAived SEP 2 !\ 2008 Planner: 8J <'
