EXHIBIT R Page 54 <br />prescribed time frame. <br />15. Efforts toward incremental and voluntary annexation of River Road and Santa Clara <br />properties to Eugene and connection to the sewer- wastewater system according to the <br />Envir-emnental Dyeteet on n genffEPA's time frame have not been successful. <br />Objectives <br />Ensure the availability of land in River Road and Santa Clara for urban levels of <br />development. <br />2. Capitalize on existing public expectations by providing further public services which will <br />allow the River Road and Santa Clara areas to achieve urban densities. <br />3. Deliver a full range of urban services to the River Road and Santa Clara areas through <br />annexation. <br />4. Consider the unique situation of the residents of River Road and Santa Clara by providing <br />financing mechanisms which will take into account the financial ability of the residents to <br />pay for service delivery and the City of Eugene's ability to provide these services. <br />Guide capital improvements in the River Road and Santa Clara areas through the River <br />Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities plan developed cooperatively by Lane County, the <br />City of Eugene, and the residents and property owners of the two areas. <br />6. Eliminate groundwater pollution from individual septic tank disposal systems in River <br />Road and Santa Clara. <br />Policies <br />1. Eugene shall develop methods of financing improvements in the River Road and Santa <br />Clara areas which are responsive to the unique situation of residents and property owners, <br />as well as the City of Eugene. <br />2. Eugene will plan, design, construct, and maintain ownership of the entire sanitar-y <br />sewerwastewater system that services the River Road and Santa Clara areas. This will <br />involve extraterritorial extension which will be supported by Lane County before the <br />Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission and all other applicable bodies. <br />Annexation of the River Road and Santa Clara areas will occur only through strict <br />application of state laws and local policies (e.g., ability to extend key urban facilities and <br />services in a timely manner). In each case, Eugene will make every reasonable attempt to <br />provide for annexation only on a voluntary basis and according to prior individual <br />property annexation agreements. <br />R el Rel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 373 <br />
