Lane County has been <br /> agreeable at a staff level to forwarding a recommendation to the Commissioners to provide the area encompassed in <br /> the ponds for our project while retaining what they need for future widening. The idea is they would retain right of way <br /> sufficient for them to provide a future "merge lane" from Goodpasture Island interchange to Valley River Interchange. <br /> (A merge lane doesn't require a transplan amendment (according to LC) and a full travel lane would). <br /> Also, they asked and the City and Army Corps agreed to provide (fill) an extra wide "bench" area to reduce future fill <br /> needs and regulatory restrictions related to the fill. The feasibility study approved by the Corps has the extra bench <br /> width included in the project. The project includes a bench (created by filling) in many places including along Delta <br /> Highway for riparian floodplain and trails and buffer created by habitat. Along Delta Highway the extra wide bench <br /> would be for future widening of the highway. <br /> We have met with Bobby Green to discuss the full project and describe the preliminary plan for Delta Highway <br /> property. He was supportive of the project. County staff has agreed to take it to the Commissioners pending <br /> information (legal descriptions and field stakes) from us. <br /> We had been talking at a staff level about a width of 150' for the Delta Highway Right of Way. As we started <br /> researching to prepare legal descriptions for the transfer we found existing on their property their own transportation <br /> easement of 200'. Now our proposal will probably be they vacate the existing easement of 200' and retain the 150 <br /> feet of width. We are working on the details of this. <br /> Is this the info you were looking for? <br /> me <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: WEISS Carolyn J <br /> Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 1:51 PM <br /> To: CAHILL Michelle R <br /> Cc: FINNEY Kevin P; RINER Andrea G <br /> Subject: Lane County Right of Way at Delta Ponds <br /> Hi Michelle, <br /> Andrea had a request from Jim Carlson to provide information regarding our agreement with Lane County for the <br /> Delta Ponds project. I believe this came from a concern expressed by the Mayor with regard to us building trails <br /> and riparian benches along Delta Highway where they may want to widen it. I know that this has been addressed <br /> in our discussions with Lane County, but I haven't been involved enough to know how that is specifically being <br /> 1 <br /> _ _ _ <br /> <br />
