Golf Course Study - -B. McDonald 2 <br /> We spoke with the Eugene public works employee, Jack Long, <br /> concerning the history of the channel and about the areas <br /> served by the A -2 and the relationship to the ponds. <br /> We have all current Oregon Water Resources Departmet maps <br /> of the drainage basin and pertinent literature. The Water <br /> laws were updated last year and there is an 400 page rule <br /> book avaialable at the local WaterMaster's office.

The trend in design is for conservative <br /> use of water and chemicals. <br /> Ultimately we will have to pass the permit process for <br /> development past the Oregon State Water Board. I think <br /> they will protect all interests, especially that of the <br /> public water ways. <br /> Egress /Ingress <br /> The club house and parking areas are designated on the parcel <br /> near - Clear Lake Road. There is no plan for access to the <br /> - golf course from any of the city areas. We have made initial <br /> contact with the County Roads Department concerning the addition <br /> of an exit lane from Clear Lake. That will be required and <br /> can be done. Clear Lake may eventually be widened when the <br /> • •_ ` • road becomes the major access to the airport, which is, currently <br /> in the airport master plan recommendations. 't <br /> We have gathered information on flight paths (none effect <br /> this property, on soil and farm use in the vicinity (favorable <br /> for this site), and many other information packets and sources <br /> that are needed for the Special Use Permit. This information <br /> will be available to the land planning consultant who will <br />
