The issues are supported by findings of fact. OVERALL THEME: Rasor Park is a special place and must be planned and managed carefully. • Rasor Park is valued for its openness, greenspace, and location on the river. • Residents have an interest in design simplicity and a concern for "development" • Views of the river, especially from River Road, are highly valued. 1. The role and function of Rasor Park is unclear. • Some residents believe the park currently fiznctions well and suffers from a "vacant lot" image. • Nearby Maurie Jacobs Park and nodal positioning on the Willamette Greenway should be major considerations in determining Rasor Park's preferred role. • Maintenance management (mowing, use of herbicides) are citizen concerns. 2. The Willamette River/Greenway is a dominant feature of Rasor Park. • Enjoying and protecting the river are high priorities of residents. • The park's open space is viewed as an integral part of the river setting.
