LANE COUNTY FARMERS MARKET on the property owner to prove they have been affected.” Even if landowners have documented declines in their wells, the process for remedia- tion is difficult. Jarvis says that watermasters, local officials responsible for mediating wa- ter disputes, are overburdened in their workload. However, Jarvis says that if the community is willing to ask for help, his institute along with students and researchers at OSU would like to provide technical assistance to help the community cope with water storage issues. Jarvis says programs aimed at artificially recharging wells through the capture and diversion of water in the rainy season could help keep water flowing all year long in Alpine. Jarvis recommends that citizens form an “aquifer community” to organize, educate and solve water issues in their community. “Water is important to everyone,” Jarvis says, who adds that organizing an aquifer com- munity is an opportunity for Alpine residents “to set their differences aside and come to- gether to protect this essential resource.” In the case of the Davidson Hill development, it’s unlikely that participants will set their differences aside and find a mutually agreeable solution. A proposed lot line adjustment on the property, that would only reconfigure the existing five lots, is in an open comment period before the Benton County Planning Commission until May 23. Not everyone in the community is against the development. Davidson’s daughter, Car- men Keyser, lives on a property adjacent to the proposed development. She says the de- velopers have done a good job with the development so far. Keyser points out that having more nice houses in the neighborhood could improve the property value of surrounding homes, including her own. Balsly, however, remains dedicated to fighting the development and is currently chal- lenging the latest lot line adjustment proposal before the Benton County Planning Com- mission. Representatives for the McDougals dismissed his ongoing challenges to the develop- ment. At a public hearing on April 18, Bill Kloos, a Eugene attorney representing the Mc- Dougals, referred to the current objections to the lot line adjustments as a waste of time and said that is was just a part of the game that Lane County LandWatch plays to stop development. “It might be a game for them because they are already rich,” Balsly says. “For them, it’s just another drop in the bucket; for me, this is about having access to water where I live.” TUESDAYS 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. SATURDAYS 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. 8th and Oak St, Eugene We accept EBT/Credit/Debit Double Up Food Bucks start May 2 LaneCountyFarmersMarket.org — Family-Owned Since 2004 — DS Market, Inc.
