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 />Rasor Park Master Plan 32 City of Eugene, Parks Planning <br />
