I would <br /> assume we'd have a title search done, and at least contact <br /> Chuck Solin for a level one investigation due to BPA lines. <br /> Only drawback might be lack of access, for both recreational <br /> use and for fire protection. There was some discussion of <br /> negotiating access with adjoining pud's - possibly through <br /> existing road in BPA easement. My guess is adjoiners would <br /> decline. <br /> From: LYLE Les A <br /> To: FERGUSON Joe M; CAHILL Michelle R <br /> Subject: FW: Land Donation <br /> Date: Thursday, March 09, 1995 11:26AM <br /> Do you have any knowledge of this donation and any issues that <br /> need to be followed up on? Any encumbrances or property <br /> constraints that we need to flag? Thanks Les L <br /> From: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> To: ANDERSEN Chris F <br /> Cc: MEDLIN Johnny R; LYLE Les A <br /> Subject: Land Donation <br /> Date: Thursday, March 09, 1995 9:40AM <br /> FROM: Bob Hammitt <br /> We received a proposal to donate 26 acres of land to the City <br /> of Eugene on February 8, 1995. The land is south of Donald <br /> St. and west of Fox Hollow, and abuts the existing Ridgeline <br /> Trail property. <br /> Since receiving the proposal, John Weber has performed an <br /> assessment. The property is an attractive natural area that <br /> contains significant wildlife and plant habitat. The site <br /> also has a water quality and biofiltration value. This site <br /> has an obvious recreation value and potential to add to the <br /> Ridgeline Trail system. The 1989 Eugene Parks and Recreation <br /> Plan policies and proposed actions under the community wide <br /> resources section, applies to this property. Specifically, <br /> South Hills policies 1, 2, 3, and 4, and proposed actions FI-3 <br /> are applicable. These policies call for the preservation and <br /> enhancement of the natural conditions and habitat value of the <br /> South Hills, passive recreation development; such as trails <br /> and viewpoints, and to utilize the recreation potential of the <br /> land under the BPA power easement. This property could help <br /> meet these policies. <br /> The City's recently formed natural resources committee has <br /> reviewed this proposal and John's assessment. They strongly <br /> recommend that we accept this donation. <br /> I am going to have John contact the person that made the <br /> proposal and let them know the City is willing to accept this <br /> donation, and that the next step should be for them to develop <br /> an official offer to us. Let me know if you want this handled <br /> Page 2 <br />
