e "So, most of the issues, unfortunately, deal with money and most of us know that money is a difficult issue. I think with some additional planning and being aggressive, we will find that we will survive the unfortunate economic environ- ment that we currently live with. In the future, weill never have to be faced with such drastic reductions in payroll, and that, somehow or another, leads us all back to the fact that we want to have an ideal community with great liva- bility, and that, unfortunately, takes money. And so, in the next twelve months, you will hear lots of talk as we discuss and ramble through the basic processes of how we're going to do all the things that we want to do. An d, we invite you to participate at whatever level you feel comfortable with.1I Ms. Smith noted appreciation for the effort of staff, particularly Carol Baker, who organized and put the open house together. Also, she noted that the Eugene Action Forum assisted in the open house. Attendance tonight was much better than it was last year. One of the purposes of holding an open house is to have people participate by applying to serve on one the City's boards and commissions. Ms. Schue agreed that the open house this evening has been successful. Also, this afternoon there was an open house at Public Works Maintenance.

Work continues on these items, and they are included in some of the other goals and are going well. e Mr. Obie arrived at the meeting. II. PUBLIC HEARINGS A.

Mr. Gleason introduced Kirk McKinley, Planning. Mr. McKinley stated that this minor partition request involves a panhandle modification which would create an additional lot from an existing lot. The lot as it exists now contains two residences, one on each proposed parcel. The Planning Department determined that the proposal met applicable land divi- sion criteria and approved the minor partition on June 22, 1981. That decision was appealed to the Planning Commission on the basis that the partition violated a deed restriction and a decree of summary judgment by the Circuit Court of Lane County restricting division of the parcel within the Skyline Park Estates subdivision. The Planning Commission denied the appeal after receiving the City Attorney's opinion which said the City would not be in contempt of court by approving the partition. The requested zoning is RA. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 26, 1981 Page 3
