this designation not only applies to POS but includes other privately owned lands in <br />response to Metro Plan policies such as the South Hills ridgeline. All of the property is <br />above 500' and is protected by a number of Refinement Plans, backed by neighborhood <br />plans, studies, programs and policies consistent with, and making up the framework of <br />the Metro Plan, addressing issues that are unique to this specific geological area (and, <br />payed for with taxes and grants from state and federal government). One of the major <br />concerns mentioned in the Record was that there were dangerous soil conditions and <br />no safe access as stated in the transportation plans for decades and backed <br />unanimously by the County Road Commission and a safety review board (No through <br />access will be allowed from this interchange northerly to existing streets in the <br />Fairmount area (e.g., Spring Bv., Laurelwood) or Laurel Hill Valley, nor to 1-5.). <br />We still do not know the exact acreage or the boundaries of the property but it is not <br />true that there were no other issues to consider in a zone change except to decide the <br />boundaries and acreage. Things like watershed, trees, animals, land instability, access, <br />and the orderly extension of services are a few mentioned in the Record. In fact, page <br />74-78 of the Record has some missing pages and I would like to resubmit the letter and <br />the 10 missing pages (the letter was done in haste and should have been edited; but, <br />all submitted, verifiable, and on time). I doubt the Planning Commission or LUBA were <br />ever given the full set of copies for the Record. <br />
