Size <br />• Dismissal of Sites with Fewer than 40 Acres <br />The narrow strip of land ("134.4") that connects Clear Lake Road to a tax lot primarily inside the <br />current urban growth boundary is one acre total, far less than the needed 40 acres. Site "P4.6" is <br />a 5.0 acre lot abutting the current UGB, which is substantially less than the 40 needed acres. <br />Due to insufficient size, sites "P4.4" and "P4.6" are dismissed from further consideration. <br />Accessibility <br />• Dismissal of Land that is not Accessible by an Existing or Planned Arterial or Collector <br />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. The westernmost site (labeled "P4.1" on the map above) is a 40.1 acre tax lot <br />that is not accessible by either of these streets. The other remaining sites are all accessible by <br />one or (in the case of site "P4.5") both of these streets. Due to insufficient accessibility, site <br />"P4.1" is dismissed from further consideration. <br />Geographic Attributes <br />• Dismissal of Land Lacking Sufficient Attributes Necessary for Park Development: <br />Availability for City Ownership for Purposes of Park Development, Adjacency to a <br />Planned or Existing School Site, and Presence of Substantial Natural Features <br />In anticipation of the need for an additional community park, the City has made efforts to <br />purchase land in the appropriate area for several years. Site "P4.2" is owned by the Eugene <br />Water and Electric Board, and is not available for park development. The site is also not adjacent <br />to a planned or existing school facility, and lacks noteworthy natural features. This site therefore <br />lacks sufficient geographic attributes for park development, and is dismissed from further <br />consideration. <br />Site "P4.3" is privately owned, and not available for park development. This site is separated <br />from the future school site by Site "P4.4" (a portion of a tax lot primarily within the UGB), and <br />lacks noteworthy natural features. This site therefore lacks sufficient geographic attributes for <br />park development, and is dismissed from further consideration. <br />The City was able to purchase the full extent of the easternmost site ("P4.5") for future park <br />siting as the most obviously fitting site in the area based on geographic attributes. This site <br />surrounds the significant natural feature of the Golden Gardens ponds, and is adjacent to the <br />future Bethel school facility. It is also worth noting that selection of this site would maximize <br />efficient urban form by "filling in" an area which would otherwise be an island of rural land <br />surrounded by urban land, giving it accessibility from urban / urbanizable land on all sides. <br />Appendix C to Findings May 2017 Page 22 <br />
