reported. He predicted this would have no bearing on the new fee structure. He said it seemed to the <br />chamber that the City would want more information for the public and for itself prior to holding this <br />public hearing. <br /> <br />Zachary Vishanoff, Patterson Street, wished to register his concern about the proposed power plant for <br />the City of Coburg area, noting that it had been down-sized from what had originally been proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Vishanoff related that he read a story in the newspaper regarding college student loans and saw that <br />the wastewater capacity for Coburg was being upgraded. He alleged this could be related to the power <br />plant. <br /> <br />Mr. Vishanoff reiterated his concerns regarding the University of Oregon's proposed construction of a <br />new basketball arena. He wanted more public debate about it. He asserted that the University of Oregon <br />Foundation was thinking of purchasing a former used car lot. He felt that given that the Williams Bakery <br />site had been purchased, the University could end up owning property up to Fairmount Boulevard. He <br />said the University must be "contained." He repeated that homes owned by the University on Moss Street <br />were still being kept empty although people needed places to live. <br /> <br />Terry Froemming, 2886 Bailey Lane, chair of the Harlow Neighbors Association, said he had been asked <br />by the Chase Garden Node Subcommittee to represent it in asking for City Council help and <br />consideration. He related that the Chase Garden Node was the association's number one priority for the <br />coming year. He stated that mixed-use development had not contained much in the way of retail services <br />and the node contained some of the densest concentrations of population in the City. He said the <br />neighborhood had a number of doctors' offices and no "grand store." He asked the council to support <br />holding a work session on mixed-use development and underscored that it was an important topic for the <br />Harlow Neighbors. <br /> <br />Janet O' Bryant, 85 North Madison Street, submitted copies of AIRS and CAD records regarding train <br />accidents from Blair Boulevard through High Street to the City Council. She reported that the Federal <br />Railroad Administration (FRA) had increased the decibel level at which train whistles can blast. Because <br />of where she lived she heard loud train whistles in her house many times per day and this caused real <br />livability issues for her. She recommended placing safety barriers at intersections so that the trains would <br />not feel the need to sound their horns. She said the barriers cost $13,000 apiece, and emphasized that an <br />investment of $100,000 or less could bring peace and quiet to a lot of neighborhoods. <br /> <br /> Rob Handy, 455-½ River Road, quoted from a speech that River Road/Santa Clara Transition Manager, <br /> David Reed recently gave before the City Club. Mr. Reed said the neighborhood had a history of mistrust <br /> of the City of Eugene and a history of rapid development and that some felt this caused chaos. Others felt <br /> this could be fertile ground for development of an entirely different relationship with the City of Eugene <br /> and other service providers. Mr. Reed had suggested a transition plan that was smooth and transferred <br /> responsibility for urban services within a Heritage Strategy, which would describe the route for <br /> management of urbanization and of future annexation in ways that preserved community and <br /> neighborhood values, retained, where feasible, community institutions, and forged new and creative <br /> practices for the most effective and efficient delivery of urban services. He suggested this plan should <br /> accomplish all this in the most practical and equitable manner and with the least community discontent as <br /> possible. Mr. Handy commented that the Emerald Park and Recreation Center was the core community <br /> institution of the River Road neighborhood and its tax base was being squeezed. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 24, 2005 Page 4 <br /> Regular Session <br /> <br /> <br />
