Accessibility <br />• Dismissal of Land that is not Accessible by an Existing or Planned Arterial or Collector Street <br />The two streets that qualify as an "existing or planned arterial or collector street" adjacent to <br />the remaining candidate land are Terry Street and Clear Lake Road, which are both existing <br />major collectors. Site P4.1 is a 40.1-acre tax lot that is not accessible by either of these streets. <br />The other remaining sites are all accessible by one or (in the case of site P4.5) both of these <br />streets. Due to insufficient accessibility, site P4.1 is dismissed from further consideration. <br />Availability for school ownership <br />• Dismissal of Land that is not Available for School Ownership <br />Site P4.2 is owned by the Eugene Water and Electric Board for future development of utility <br />facilities, and is unavailable for school purchase. Therefore, site P4.2 is dismissed from further <br />consideration. <br />In anticipation of the need for additional school facilities, Bethel School District has made efforts <br />to purchase land in the appropriate area for over a decade. The District was able to purchase <br />site P4.5 for future school siting with the intent of co-locating two schools on the site, in keeping <br />with best practices for the District. <br />Summary <br />After dismissing candidate land without appropriate site characteristics, 73.9 acres of site P4.5 <br />remains as the only site that meets all of the required site characteristics for the school <br />expansion. This site has excellent accessibility via two collector streets, one of which runs <br />directly through an urban residential neighborhood to which the site is adjacent. While 14.0 <br />acres of this site is constrained or isolated by the Special Flood Hazard Area, the remaining 59.9 <br />acres are buildable and available for school siting. Pursuant to its own long-range planning <br />needs, Bethel School District purchased this suitable land when it had the opportunity to do so. <br />All of the remaining land is already owned by Bethel School District. <br />(3) Conclusion for Fourth Priority Land within School Expansion Study Area <br />The 73.9 acres of site P4.5 that meet the site requirements for school siting are more than is required <br />for the current needed expansion. The site is composed of five tax lots, as shown on the "Fourth Priority <br />Land: Other Site Characteristics" map, above. In order to accommodate the School District's needs while <br />keeping the expansion to the minimum necessary, the tax lots are evaluated below for their ability to <br />meet the site characteristics. <br />The largest tax lot is the only one of the five adjacent to the urban residential neighborhood and the <br />current urban growth boundary. As such, it is essential to meeting the site requirements. This tax lot is <br />34.1 total acres, of which 13.7 are constrained or isolated by the Special Flood Hazard Area, and <br />therefore unbuildable. The unconstrained portion of this tax lot consists of two distinct areas of 9.5 <br />acres to the south and 10.9 acres to the north. The 10.9-acre area is unbuildable as a stand-alone area <br />due to a width of only 321 feet. Neither of these areas is sufficient for the school siting, therefore <br />Appendix A to Findings May 2017 Page 23 <br />
