Alternatives <br />This chapter describes the two alternatives for this project, as well as an alternative that was <br />identified but eliminated from detailed study. The chapter concludes with a comparative summary <br />of the environmental consequences of the two analyzed alternatives. <br />Alternative 1 (Proposed Action) <br />Under Alternative 1, the City of Eugene Parks and Open Space Division in partnership with The <br />Nature Conservancy, the McKenzie River Trust and Oregon State Parks and Recreation would <br />purchase fee title to Dillard Hollow in its entirety. The 38.4 acre parcel will be owned by the City of <br />Eugene and protected as open space under the stewardship of the Parks and Open Space <br />Division. <br />Altemative 2 (No Action) <br />Under this alternative, the City of Eugene and partners will not purchase Dillard Hollow. The <br />property will remain in private ownership leaving it vulnerable to development. It is anticipated that <br />the property will be subdivided-into 77-115 home sites with developed road and utility <br />infrastructure. <br />
