Staff outlines soils and wetlands study covering roughly 45 properties
Summary
Staff said Land Use would gather records and turn them over to Jacobson for a soils and wetlands analysis covering 'about 45 properties' as a phase‑1 review similar to a Main Street study, with record retrieval expected within about four weeks.
Staff reported the committee had discussed work with Jacobs and Associates/Jacobson to perform a soils and wetlands analysis and said the initial scope would cover "about 45 properties." "We have a scope of about 45 properties," the staff member said, and added Land Use would retrieve and transfer associated records to the consultant for analysis.
Members emphasized that the 45 parcels represent a phase‑1 core area and not the full Merritt Wood neighborhood; the group said the phase‑1 results will determine whether to expand the study in a second phase. Staff estimated records retrieval would take roughly four weeks, moving the initial analysis toward the end of August.
