Guidance Document for Twenty Years.In 2008, the Dorris Ranch Master
Plan update was completed by M.I.G. with input from community members and
Willamalane staff. The plan reflects the community’s and Willamalane’s
vision for the unique resources, facilities and activities found at Dorris
Ranch.
In conjunction with the plan update, a Natural Resource Assessment and
a Facilities Condition Observation Report were also completed. You will
find these two reports as appendices to the Dorris Ranch Master Plan update.
All of these are available at the links below.

A
mini-plan for 2005-2008.In 2005, the Dorris Ranch Planning Team worked with interested stakeholders
and the Willamalane Board of Directors on developing a short-term management
plan to assist with minimizing conflicts at the Dorris Ranch Living History
Farm. The Management Plan was used until a Master Plan update was completed
in 2008. The Management Plan provided input to the master planning process
and is still available at the link below.
Their purpose is to fund all or a portion of capital facilities needed
for growth, and to shift the burden of growth costs from current residents
to new development.
The Oregon SDC Act requires a “methodology” for showing how
SDCs are developed. Willamalane’s SDC Methodology was updated in
2006, and park and recreation SDC rates were set based on this analysis.
The methodology provides for annual adjustments to the SDC rates, effective
at the beginning of each new calendar year.
Documents detailing the new methodology and rates are available below.

Gershow at (541) 736-4052.

include two group picnic shelters, a playground, and Springfield’s
first dog park.
Work is underway at the 32-acre Jack B. Lively Memorial Park to add an exciting array of outdoor recreational amenities. Improvements include: two large group picnic shelters with cooking facilities, an 8,000 sq. ft. playground, and an almost 4-acre dog park. There will also be additional parking, sidewalks and site furnishings.
In addition to Willamalane’s system development charges, the project is being funded with cash donations from the Lively family, the Friends of Willamalane, and the Springfield chapter of Rotary International. A matching grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s Local Government Grant Program will provide almost half of the necessary project funding. Thank you to our great project partners! Construction began in June 2009 and is scheduled for completion in the fall.
Willamalane’s
Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) was completed in 2004.
The Comp Plan is our guide for the acquisition and development of new parks
and facilities, and the rehabilitation of existing parks and facilities
in the Springfield area over the next 20 years. It contains input from
over 750 community members, and was adopted by the Willamalane Board of
Directors, the Springfield City Council and the Lane County Board of Commissioners,
making it an official part of the Eugene-Springfield Metro Area General
Plan. Click
