RESOLUTION NO. 03-21 - A RESOLUTION INITIATING ANNEXATION OF
CERTAIN TERRITORIES TO THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD AND REQUESTING THAT
THE LANE COUNTY LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION APPROVE
THE ANNEXATION.
City Planner Susanna Julber presented the staff report on this issue. The property owners of
the subject territory, Willowbrook Development, have requested annexation in order to
develop property located east of Laura Street in Springfield, 2191 Laura Street, Assessor Map
Number 17-03-27-10, Tax Lot 1400.
The applicant wishes to develop the property consistent with the standards of the Medium
Density Residential zoning district, and has indicated that the 1.64-acre tract of land will be
developed as a residential subdivision, comprised of 10 duplex lots. Such urban uses are not
permitted in the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District, and annexation is required to develop
the property.
Sanitary and storm sewer will be provided as part of the Laura Street improvement project,
scheduled for construction late summer of2003. The City will be constructing a sanitary
sewer stub up to the applicant's property line, and drainage will be available upon completion
of the improvements to the roadway.
.
Article 6.030(2) of the Springfield Development Code requires that territories considered for
annexation must be provided "key urban facilities and services," as defmed in Metro Plan
Policy 8.a, Page II-B-4. Among these key urban services are water, sewer, storm water

.
facilities, streets, electricity, parks, fire/emergency services, schools, etc. Based on its
analysis, Staff finds that key urban services are available to the site.
The City Council is authorized by ORS 199.490(2)(a)(B) to initiate annexation upon
receiving consent in writing from a majority of the electors registered in the territory
proposed to be annexed. There are no registered electors currently residing within the
territory proposed for annexation. The area proposed for annexation lies directly east of
Laura Street. Laura Street is an unimproved roadway within the jurisdiction of Lane County.
The parcel to be annexed is developed with a single family home. Signatures from the
property owners have been obtained. With Council approval, this resolution will be
forwarded to the Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission with a
recommendation for approval. A public hearing will be held on the annexation at the June 5,
2003 Boundary Commission meeting.
Mayor Leiken said he and other staff had the opportunity to meet with the applicant. The
applicant did have some concerns/issues. Mayor Leiken asked if those issues have been
addressed from the city's perspective. Ms. Julber said they were addressed.
Mayor U~iken opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak. Mayor Leiken closed
the public hearing.

2. FY 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan of the Eugene-Springfield Consolidated Plan for
Housing and Community Development.
Housing Program Specialist Kevin Ko presented the staff report on this issue. Council is
asked to conduct a Public Hearing and adopt the Springfield portion of the FY2003-2004 One
Year Action Plan of the Eugene-Springfield Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community
Development.
The Five Year Eugene-Springfield Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community
Development, adopted in May of 2000, is a requirement of the federal government and is
necessary for Eugene and Springfield to continue receiving funding from HUD. One Year
Action Plans must be submitted to HUD each year and are designed to indicate how
communities intend to fulfill the priorities established in the Five Year Plan.
The FY2003-04 One Year Action Plan includes the one-year funding allocations and
proposed activities and must be approved by both the City of Springfield and City of Eugene
prior to submission to HUD. The document was available for a thirty-day review and
comment period from April 2, 2003 ending May 2,2003. As of May 1 S\ no comments have
been received. The Eugene portion of the Plan is being adopted separately by the Eugene
City Council. The combined Eugene-Springfield One Year Action Plan is due to HUD on
May 15,2003.
.
The One Year Action Plan needs to include the CDBG (Community Development Block
Grant) and HOME funding allocations for the fiscal year 2003-2004. The City of Springfield
Council Regular Meeting Minutes

.
receives CDBG funds as an entitlement community and HOME funds as a participant in a
consortium agreement with the City of Eugene. CDBG funds are awarded to communities
who carry out community development activities directed towards neighborhood
revitalization, economic development, and the provision of improved community facilities
and services. HOME funding is a housing block grant program allocated to communities to
be used for rehabilitation, new construction, acquisition and tenant based rental assistance
activities. The City has completed the allocation process for both CDBG and HOME
programs.
Kevin Ko reviewed the agenda item summary packet attachment. He discussed Attachment
Number 1. He discussed the FY 03-04 CDBG allocation of $164,000 to the Wildish Center.
He reminded Council that council reviewed / discussed this issue two week ago.
Kevin Ko discussed Attachment 1, page 9, last paragraph on the page. He discussed the last
paragraph on the page regarding the project currently under council consideration. Mr. Ko
said that is enough language in the document, to get it into HUD, so that, should council
decide in favor of the project, it can be initiated. Ifnot, that is ok too.
Mr. Ko noted a correction on Attachment 1, page 10, last paragraph, Minority
Concentrations. He referenced lines 4 and 5 and it should read as follows:
.. ..block group 2 is located to the .w~~~ of Pioneer Parkway and ~if~t of Kelly Butte...

regarding a change in meeting dates. She understands the need, although, Budget
Committee meetings have been held on Tuesday evenings for at least the past
five years. She had reserved Tuesdays and with the change in date, she may have
a conflict with Budget Committee meetings. She will do her best to attend but it
will be dependent on what appointments/commitments she can modify.

interpretation. He will keep council informed on status. He said this will be a

see if there is consensus on interpretation.

meeting. Jack Roberts is also part of the Task Force. The meeting was held in

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. FY 03-04 CDBG/HOME Request for St. Vincent DePaul's HUD 202 Housing Proiect.
Housing Program Specialist Kevin Ko presented the staff report on this issue.
A letter was provided from John Van Landingham, Housing Policy Board Chair, expressing
support for St. Vincent de Paul's proposed HUD 202 project.
Council is being asked to review the information provided and discuss the request for
$330,000 in HOME and CDBG funds by St. Vincent de Paul for the proposed 59 unit HUD
202 housing project.
Council is being asked if the City should support St. Vincent de Paul's application to the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for $5.1 million in HUD 202
Program funds with an allocation of HOME/CDBG funds totaling $330,000.
.
St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) submitted an application for $330,000 in Springfield HOME and
CDBG funds to purchase a suitable site for a 59 unit HUD 202 housing project. The HUD
202 program assists with the development of housing for very low-income elderly residents.
The requested $330,000 will support SVDP's application to HUD for approximately $5.1
million ofHUD 202 program funds. HUD 202 funds are awarded to deserving projects
through a national competition. If SVDP's application is successful, it will be the first HUD
202 project located in Springfield.
The proposed site is located at 3rd and S Street in Springfield, and is one of 20 properties
considered by SVDP. The 2.3 acre site is properly zoned for this type of development, and
all utilities and services are available to the site. The site is located near shopping, public
transportation and other services and conveniences. The proposed project will consist of 59
one-bedroom units and a community center arranged in a single, three-story facility. The
project will serve very low-income senior residents who have the ability to live independently
if provided with enhanced ADA and accessibility amenities. The project will meet stringent
federal design standards, and will be developed and managed in accordance with HUD
requirements and other federal regulations. The per-unit hard cost of the proposed project is
$69,915, which is consistent with other similar projects recently developed (see attachment
3). The Project will be owned by a non-profit limited partnership created by SVDP and Ya-
Po-Ah Terrace. Manor Management will provide property management services.
.
On April 2, 2003, this project was reviewed favorably by the Community Development
Advisory Committee (CDAC) based on the following: (a) Springfield has not had a HUD
202 development, yet the 2000 Consolidated Plan found that the need for affordable housing
for the elderly is increasing as the population of Springfield ages. This finding is supported
by the data presented in the 2000 Census. The proposed project will meet this need; (b) The
Council Regular Meeting Minutes
May 5, 2003
Page 8
.
$330,000 requested will provide a local subsidy of $5,593 per unit. Typical per-unit subsidy
funded through our CDBG and HOME allocation process is between $15,000 and $25,000.
Efficient use of local funds is a factor that the CDAC considers when reviewing each
proposal. Another factor is the leverage that local funding provides in securing funding from
outside sources. This project will use $330,000 in Springfield HOME/CDBG funds to
capture over $5.1 million of federal funds, a leverage ratio of 15.45. This is another
indication that local funds are being utilized in an efficient manner; (c) The CDAC considers
the development "track record" of the applicant, and its capacity for seeing projects through
to completion. SVDP has been a primary developer of affordable housing in Springfield for
many years, and has several noteworthy projects to its credit, including Ash Meadows (69th
and Main), the Bluebelle Apartments (41 st and Bluebelle) and the Vincent Court
development on 35th Street.
The financial impact of the proposed project will be positive for the City. The City will use
$330,000 of HOME and CDBG funds on the project, but the project will bring over $5.1
million of federal HUD funds into Springfield, funds that would otherwise go to other
projects in and outside of Oregon. Additionally, the project will pay approximately $275,000
in planning and permit fees and systems development charges. There will not be any
additional burden on the school system, since no children will be living in the facility.
.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR FITCH, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
BALLEW, TO APPROVE FUNDING OF $330,000 OF HOME/CDBG FUND ON ST.
VINCENT DE PAULS'S HUD 202 HOUSING PROJECT, WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THEY WILL NEVER PAY MORE THAN THE APPRAISED
VALUE. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 5 FOR AND 1 (BURGE)
AGAINST.
2. Purchase of Tax Lot 17-03-22-4407300 and 07401 (7-11) Property.
City Surveyor Don Rogers presented the staff report on this issue.
Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to move forward with the purchase of this
property at the agreed price for the Laura Street Realignment Project. The subject parcel of
land, is a 13,000 square foot (0.30 acre) Community Commercial zoned lot that is located
along the south side of Harlow Road at the intersection with Game Farm Road. The property
is currently occupied by a 7-11 convenience store. Acquisition of this parcel was reviewed at
a March 12, 2001 City Council Executive Session and found necessary to accommodate the
realignment of Laura Street with the southerly terminus of Game Farm Road. The project is
budgeted with $200,000 in Lane County funds and $900,000 in Transportation SDC funds.
Staff has negotiated for and is recommending purchase of the property at the negotiated price
of $360,000. Our agreement consists of $30,000 to 7-11 (Southland Corporation) to
terminate lessee rights and $330,000 to the property owner. In addition, the City is legally
responsible for relocation costs for the 7-11 store, which is currently estimated at $30,000. If
approved by Council, completion of the property purchase is expected to occur this week.
.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR FITCH, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR

AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF TAX LOT 17-03-22-4407300 AND 07401

3. Council Initiation of an Amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan - Willamette
River Greenwav Goal Exception.
Interim Assistant City Manger Cynthia Pappas introduced Greg Mott to present the staff
report. She also entered into the public record correspondence from State Senator Bill
Morrisette, expressing support to accommodate ODOTs accelerated schedule for this project.
Planning Manager Greg Mott presented the staff report on this issue. The Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT) is proposing to construct a detour bridge over the
Willamette River just east of the existing bridge to re-route traffic during replacement
construction of the existing bridge. The detour bridge will have several in-river support
columns that require fill placement within the Greenway setback.
The existing Willamette River bridge has deteriorated beyond the point of repair and must be
replaced. This bridge cannot be replaced and simultaneously continue to provide reduced
travel lanes; the bridge must be closed and an alternate provided. Diverting 58,000 auto and
truck trips daily onto city streets for 5 to 10 years would cause extreme stress to a system not
designed for such volumes or gross vehicle weights.
.
The proposed detour bridge will begin at the northbound Eugene off-ramp to Franklin
Boulevard and will elevate over Franklin Boulevard in Glenwood, cross the Willamette River
and Patterson Slough in the East Gate Woodlands, and return to grade approximately 1,000
feet south of Centennial Boulevard merging back into the northbound lanes of (-5. The
bridge will be supported by poured in place concrete structures, 8 of which will be located
within the Greenway setback and/or the river channel itself.
Policy #13 referenced above requires an exception to the Willamette River Greenway Goal.
By definition, a goal exception is a Type I Metro Plan amendment that must be initiated by
one of the three governing bodies. A site-specific goal exception not related to a UGB
expansion requires the participation of all three jurisdictions, even if the proposal is entirely
within the city limits (SDC 7.070(1)(b). Referrals have been sent to Lane County and Eugene
requesting an expedited schedule for public hearing on this matter.
Both Tom Boyatt and Dean Fuller, ODOT were in the audience to answer questions.
Mayor Leiken said he held a conference call with Jeff Schieke, ODOT Region Manager.
Mike Kelly, Cynthia Pappas and Nick Amis also participated in the meeting. He said we are
being asked to expedite this, yet there are times when our issues are slowed down when we
need ODOT to sign off. He said examples discussed included BRT, and overall issues with 1-
5/ Beltline. There were times when we thought there was an agreement (vote), someone not
in the room/meeting disagreed, causing delays and hang-ups from that perspective. These
issues have to be addressed. When we work on projects that may be beneficial not only for
Springfield, but the region, we need to have the same collaboration from ODOT as well. We
need to build a good relationship with our partner agencies.
.
Councilor Burge was glad the conversation took place between the Mayor and ODOT
representative. Nick Amis provided information regarding weight load limits.

.
Councilor Woodrow said because this job was so large, he heard it may not be bid locally.
ODOT representatives Dean Fuller responded that it will be bid locally. The difference is it
will be bid as A plus B bidding (cost plus time). ODOT has been working with the AGC,
local contractors in order to set the contract to a manner that would be acceptable to the local
community, so we will get the maximum number of local bidders.
Councilor Burge said when you have an infrastructure that is volatile, distress~d, and other
issues, there should be some preventative maintenance inspections made on a'more timely
basis, than waiting until repair becomes critical and has to be done immediately on a fast
track. He would like to know more about periodic inspections, inspection schedule, when it
was last inspected, did they find anything, did the damage just occur within the last few
months, etc. ODOT staff will relay answers back to staff so council can be updated. ODOT
representatives also provided additional information about this subject. They also discussed
the Greenway Goal as well as water dependent issues.
Mayor Leiken thanked Springfield staff for working with ODOT and recognized the good
working relationship with Springfield staff.
Mayor Leiken recognized Tom Boyatt and appreciated work of local ODOT staff as well as
the work Tom Boyatt does.
Councilor Fitch said she appreciated work ODOT staff is doing and appreciates staffs good
working relationship.
.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR FITCH, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
BALLEW, TO APPROVE INITIATION OF METROPOLITAN AREA GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT REQUIRED BY POLICY #13, CHAPTER III, SECTION D WHICH
STATES: THE TAKING OF AN EXCEPTION SHALL BE REQUIRED IF A NON-
WATER DEPENDENT TRANSPORTATION FACILITY REQUIRES PLACING OF FILL
WITHIN THE WILLAMETTE RIVER GREENWAY SETBACK. THE MOTION PASSED
WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST.
Mr. Mott clarified that council action to initiate on behalf of ODOT does not waive any other
normal responsibilities that the applicant would have regarding this in terms of the fee and
providing findings and so forth.
