For September 16, 1994 Council Newsletter <br /> Adoption of the Amazon Park Development Plan <br /> The Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan contains guidelines to be followed by staff in making <br /> planning decisions regarding park development to be consistent with it's adopted goals and <br /> policies. With these guidelines in mind, last spring staff began the process of updating the <br /> Amazon Park Development Plan. <br /> As specified in the public input plan reviewed by the Citizen's Involvement Committee, a public <br /> input meeting was held in late March with a follow up public meeting in early June at the Hilyard <br /> Community Center. These meetings afforded citizens and other public and private agencies an <br /> opportunity to become acquainted with the park history, current proposals and issues, and to <br /> express their concerns, objections, or support for various proposals or submit new proposals for <br /> consideration. In response to oral, written and telephone comments received, preliminary and <br /> draft revisions of the plan were prepared. The final draft was publicly posted at Hilyard <br /> Community Center for four weeks, and all interested parties were notified by mail of the plan and <br /> supplied with background information that had been considered in decisions related to the plan. <br /> Since the final posting of the plan several written and oral comments have been received. While <br /> some of those comments pertain to details appropriate to address during various implementation <br /> phases of the plan, none offered new information or ideas that would indicate any inconsistency <br /> with the other public comments received or previously adopted plans governing development of <br /> this park. Therefore an administrative order (58- 94 -25) adopting the Amazon Park Development <br /> Plan was executed by the Executive Director of Public Works on September 14, 1994.
