ATTACHMENT D <br /> <br /> ARCHITECTS & <br />Honorable Mayor Piercy and City Council P/ANNERS/INC <br />777 Pearl Street, Room 105 132 East Broadway <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 Suite 200 <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> <br /> 541-687-1010 <br />RE: Chase Gardens Development (200509/1.3) 541-68g0625 Fax <br /> Work Session Testimony <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor Piercy and City Council: <br /> <br />On behalf of W&G Properties, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to <br />express W&G Properties' interest in maintaining the existing permitted use and <br />special use limitation sections in the current Eugene Code under the S-CN Chase <br />Node Special Area Zone (EC 9.3115, EC Table 9.3115 and EC 9.3116). <br /> <br />W&G Properties is a local development firm that has recently purchased 8.5 acres of <br />commercial property within the Chase Node Special Area Zone from the prior <br />owner, Simpson Housing. With the understanding that a medical clinic office use is <br />an outright permitted use in the S-CN Chase Node Special Area Zone, W&G <br />Properties has already significantly invested in the purchase and design development <br />of the property with the intention of developing the property primarily with medical <br />clinic office use. W&G has a significant stake in the discussion that will be held <br />during the April 11, 2005 work session. Therefore, we appreciate the opportunity to <br />submit written testimony for your review. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />The following bulleted items summarize the main points described in the <br />accompanying detailed written testimony. <br /> <br />· Kurt Yeiter confirmed in a letter to W&G Properties that "[t]he S-CN zone that <br /> applies to [their] property allows Clinics, Medical Health Treatment Facilities, and <br /> Administrative and Professional Office uses. There is no requirement that retail <br /> accompany these uses." <br /> <br />· Per the Eugene Code under the Chase Node Special Area Zone, non-retail uses, <br /> like a medical clinic use, are an outright permitted use and can occupy more than <br /> 50,000 square feet of building area. <br /> <br />· In a Limited Consultation Conference, City Staff did not see any insurmountable John E. Lawless, AIA <br /> barriers that would prevent W&G Properties from developing the proposed Principal <br /> James F. Alberson III, AIA <br /> Principal <br /> <br /> Darrell L. Smith, NCARB, FAIA <br /> Principal <br /> <br /> Joe Sando <br /> Associate <br /> <br /> <br />
