He and his wife, Stepha- nie Hazen, have worked hard to cultivate this na- tive habitat. There are bird houses and feeders, bat boxes, small hives, na- tive meadow grass, plants and wildflowers as well as a small orchard. You can tell their com- mitment to the environ- ment by just looking around their property. Sitting to the left of their garage is an array of solar panels. Behind it is Tem- ple’s newest addition to the couple’s ever growing conservation efforts: He has installed four 2,500 gallon above-ground cis- terns to catch and store rainwater from the roof of the detached garage. “The roof should shed approximately 30,000 gallons a year, the gutters are screened with mesh screen and the piping has first flush diverters,” he said. “There is a new steel roof on the building to make sure the water is clean.” They also plan on building a rain garden as a way to keep water and soil runoff to a minimum. Temple has experience building rain gardens. This will be his fourth one. “The excess water (from the cisterns) will be shunted to a rain garden planted to native Willam- ette Valley wetland grass- es and forbs (herbaceous flowering plants). The rain garden will be con- structed consistent with The Oregon Rain Garden Guide,” he said. This effort, according to Temple, is not about saving money. Instead, it was wholly for the pur- pose of lessening the bur- den of the residential and local watershed’s re- sources. “We have a well that produces 20 gpm (gallons per minute) of good wa- ter, but neighbors nearby have water quantity/qual- ity issues with their wells,” Temple said. He consulted with Clair Klock, senior re- source conservationist, at Clackamas Soil and Wa- ter Conservation District, as well as with district na- tive plant specialist and planner, Jenny Meisel. “Klock has worked with several landowners in Clackamas County to install rainwater catch- SPECIAL TO THE STAYTON MAIL Aumsville/Macleay area resident Ray Temple has built above-ground rainwater collection cisterns, which will catch up to 10,000 gallons of water. ment systems and has hosted workshops for the American Rainwater Catchment Systems As- sociation in our area,” he said. “Every gallon collect- ed is a direct saving of an equivalent volume of groundwater from our well. Conservation of groundwater is the over- riding benefit of this pro- ject,” he said. “In prac- tice, I expect to increase our water use to better sustain native plantings, but still with no well wa- ter being used for irriga- tion.” Temple has spent more time removing Hi- malaya blackberries and other invasive plants and replacing them with na- tive trees and shrubs. “I converted 6,000 square feet of grass and weeds to native forbs and grasses; and prepared an- other 10,000 square feet for planting to native grasses and forbs begin- ning this fall. No lawn grass is watered or will be watered. Native plant- ings require much less water than fruit trees, berries, ornamentals or lawn,” he said.

Mostly I think of Stephanie and me as try- ing to do what’s right for the environment around us,” Temple said. “I have been interest- ed in aspects of the natu- ral world since growing up near Charleston (Ore- gon) with many square miles of woods behind the house, a creek at the back of the property, a lake a few hundred yards away and the bay an easy walk to fishing and tidepool- ing. My family fished about 20 weekends a year and we spent a lot of time outside.” Growing up surround- ed by nature led to a de- gree and a career in con- servation. “Going into fisheries with a degree from OSU seemed a natural transi- tion. I had previously wanted to be a plumber,” he said. Temple retired in 2002 from the Oregon Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife after 28 years.

Eventually, the council voted 5-1 (Carter dissent- ing) to annex, noting that any other action else would be outside its scope of authority. “I’m struggling to see how we can deny this an- nexation,” Councilor Jim Sears said. Now that’s exactly what the city will do, how- ever, for the next six months as a related de- bate plays out in the court system. One last applica- tion — the 24-acre parcel — will be processed, said Community Development Director Jason Gottge- treu. After that, anything over 2 acres must go to popular vote or wait, per a unanimous council deci- sion. The city of Corvallis is now suing the state, say- ing Senate Bill 1573 vio- lates the Oregon Constitu- tion’s right to “home rule” by outlawing its 40-year- old voter-approval re- quirement regarding an- nexations. When the case has worked its way through the courts, Silver- ton will know whether it can return to its voter-ap- proval system or must move on to a council-vote mechanism. Silverton enacted its own voter-approval re- quirement in 2005. As it did, the council retained its power to annex proper- natural production pro- gram director in the fish division. He then went to work for the U.S. Fish and Wild- life Service as a grants manager in the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restora- tion Program. “After retirement and marrying Stephanie, I had time and support to volunteer with Audubon and get involved with lo- cal environmental issues, but mainly to try to do the right thing for the pieces of the environment that we touch,” Temple said. “The rainwater har- vest system that we con- structed this spring will save 10,000 gallons of groundwater annually and will never generate any economic return,” he said. “It was, however, the right thing to do with our money.” Dee Moore is a com- munications specialist with the Marion Soil & Water Conservation Dis- trict.

So, if the council’s stop- action this month tempo- rarily closed the window of opportunity on larger annexations, its proposed amendment to the city’s development code will make it smaller when it reopens. By a 5-1 vote (Hector dissenting), the council gave initial approval to three new criteria that fu- ture applications must meet. A second reading of the changes will occur at the next council meeting Oct. 3. Among the proposed changes: residential prop- erties will only be consid- ered for annexation if Sil- verton’s supply of vacant and redevelop-able prop- erty has fallen below a five-year supply, or an eight-year-supply in spe- cial circumstances. Based on Silverton’s 2 per- cent annual growth rate, Gottgetreu said the city’s existing 608 potential lots represent a nearly seven- year supply. The city of Ashland’s development code served as a model for this new concept and lan- guage, he said. As a developer, Oster said he’s unsure about the growth-calculation. He told the council it likely to restrict growth, which will drive up housing costs. “I think the market does a better job of decid- ing these kinds of things than a governmental agency,” he said.
