2.1 A mowed 30 ft. fire protection strip will be maintained around the perimeter of the park, and <br /> a smaller fire strip will be maintained along the bikepath and park path. Where trees are <br /> planted for screening, distance between trees or clusters of trees will be at least 20 ft. to <br /> accommodate mowers. <br /> 2.2 All plantings will take visibility and exposure into consideration to maintain maximum <br /> public safety, especially along the bikepath. <br /> Strategv 3: Dog control and elimination of dog waste will be high operational <br /> priorities. <br /> 3.1 Special effort will be made to enforce dog leash regulations and to educate park users that <br /> they must pick up after their dogs and avoid conflicts with wildlife. <br /> 3.2 Waste stations will provide opportunities for dog owners to efficiently pick up and dispose of <br /> dog waste. <br /> Strategv 4: Make water available in the park. (high priority) <br /> 4.1 Install a drinking fountain near the bikepath intersection, and a locked water spigot for <br /> supplemental watering of new plantings undertaken as part of the restoration project. <br /> Strategv 5: Maintain an open and inclusive relationship with the neighborhood in <br /> management and operations of the park. (high priority) <br /> 5.1 Build on the legacy of neighborhood and volunteer participation and encourage continued <br /> and expanded involvement, including monitoring appropriate and compatible uses of the <br /> park, park design decisions, restoration planning and implementation, interpretive and <br /> educational programs, and enhancement projects. Encourage self-help projects and routine <br /> monitoring of activities and accomplishments. <br /> 7.4 Edge Protection-Offsite (highest priority) <br /> Rasor Park is vulnerable to the intensity of zoning and land uses adjacent to the park, in addition <br /> to the proximity to a major four-lane thoroughfare. For this reason, every effort should be made <br /> to avoid potential permanent loss of park values through the following strategies. <br /> Strategv 1: Aggressively pursue acquisition of vacant properties adjacent to the <br /> park. (very highest priority) <br /> 1.1 Obtain a "right of first refusal" agreement as a first step toward acquisition of the vacant lot <br /> in Kungys Estate, and seek funding for acquisition of the site to secure integrity of the oak <br /> woodland that is located on both private property and parkland. (highest priority) <br /> 1.2 Keep open communication with the owner of the Graffiti Alley property to determine if an <br /> acquisition opportunity might develop to acquire at least the vacant portion of the lot. <br /> <br /> i <br /> Rasor Park Master Plan 32 City of Eugene, Parks Planning <br /> i <br /> <br />
