City reports Glenwood annexation; board approves stormwater fee agreement and urban renewal amendment
Summary
City staff reported that Glenwood master-plan property is now within city jurisdiction. The CETA board approved a five-year stormwater fee agreement for Roth and Roth LLC (estimated impact ~$70,000) on a 7–1 vote and unanimously adopted a resolution to amend the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan to add a 0.13-acre Lane County parcel.
City staff reported to the Springfield Economic Development Agency that recent annexation actions have placed the Glenwood master-plan site under the city’s jurisdiction, a step staff said will help coordinate forthcoming land-use work across the entire 23-acre site.
Ellie Camp, a planning staff member, told the board the annexation of a 21-acre parcel owned by Roth and Roth LLC had taken effect last week and that the entire 23-acre Glenwood master-plan area is now in the city's jurisdiction. “This is an important first land use step to make sure that we can efficiently and effectively tackle the land use steps in front of us,” Camp said.
Camp also presented two agenda items related to the Glenwood area. First, she described a proposed stormwater fee agreement to assist joint-planning partner Roth and Roth LLC, which the staff said had incurred stormwater fees earlier than anticipated because partners are coordinating development timelines. Staff said the agreement would cover fees over a five-year timeframe and that the estimated financial impact to the city would be approximately $70,000.
After brief questions from the board about utility connections, Jeff Paschal, community development director, said a wastewater connection would typically be required after annexation but that it was not certain whether the site was currently close enough to existing wastewater infrastructure. “It would probably be waiting on the rest of the infrastructure as part of the development area,” Paschal said.
The board moved to direct the city manager to enter into the stormwater fee agreement as provided in the meeting materials; the motion passed by roll call, seven votes in favor and one opposed. The board then considered an amendment to the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan to add a 0.13-acre Lane County parcel currently used as right-of-way. Camp said adding the parcel into the urban renewal plan would streamline future property acquisition and reduce the number of owners involved in forthcoming work.
A motion to adopt the resolution amending the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan passed unanimously; Camp noted that, if adopted by the board, the amendment would go to city council for ratification under the terms of the plan.
The board did not specify additional implementation dates at the meeting.
