Charles Peters, 2435 Potter, a volunteer at the WOW Hall and board member of the CCPA, thanked Ms. <br />Ging for speaking on behalf of the CCPA as CCPA member, but reminded the City Council that Ms. Ging <br />did not speak for the CCPA. He added while her opinions were valued, the board did not share her fear <br />that this was the end of the WOW Hall. Mr. Peters stated that if the council did not approve the Metro <br />proposal, it would be the end of the WOW Hall, because the Metro plan was being done with federal <br />funds that required sound mitigation measures. He added that Metro was willing to provide funds to the <br />WOW Hall for a cooler to help attenuate the sound in the summer time. He emphasized that Metro was <br />working with the WOW Hall "left, right and sideways." He added that City staff was working with the <br />WOW Hall, and was researching availability of matching city funds. He concluded that the board was <br />very happy to be working with Metro and very afraid that if the Metro proposal was denied the highest <br />bidder would buy the site and build without any opportunity for input from the WOW Hall. He urged the <br />council to accept the HPB recommendation. He concluded saying that the WOW Hall had been thinking <br />about the changes for a year. Metro was a non-profit organization that was working with the hospital and <br />Lane Community College, to provide housing for students. He emphasized that this was not the end of the <br />world for the WOW Hall. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called on the council for responses and comments. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly thanked all who spoke. He had two requests of City Manager Taylor. He asked that any <br />written record of the CCPA board's decision and recommendation come to the council before any council <br />action. He said he had not heard that anyone expected the parkway to be completed by 2010. He asked <br />how such a finding was included in the site review for the Home Depot that would seem to contravene <br />fact. He also asked if there was a mechanism in the code that allowed revisiting an approved site review <br />or traffic impact analysis if, after the comment period ended, an error of fact was found. Referring to Mr. <br />Robinowitz's concerns, he asked for a written response to Mr. Robinowitz's contention that the Home <br />Depot site review was approved in part because it presumed the completion of the West Eugene Parkway <br />by 2010. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor stated that she was interested in having a public hearing on the WOW Hall. She <br />expressed alarm to see action on the March 7 agenda about the West 8th Avenue site. She did not feel <br />action should be taken until the council had conducted a work session and a public hearing. She added <br />that the West 8th Avenue business group had an interesting proposal that deserved some discussion. <br /> <br />Councilor Solomon said the comments made by Jana Jackson were consistent with at least three phone <br />calls she had received from constituents related to traffic concerns. She asked for a work session, noting <br />that Ms. Jackson had addressed the issue of the good people of Eugene being taken advantage of by <br />transient criminals who came to town and the criminal mischief makers. She stated the City needed to be <br />clearer about its boundaries, asserting that the community did care about homeless people, as Ms. Jackson <br />had clearly articulated. <br /> <br /> City Manager Taylor suggested that the task force currently studying solicitation, trespassing, <br /> panhandling, and homeless issues would be able to incorporate Councilor Solomon's concerns. He agreed <br /> to get back to Councilor Solomon with the task force timeline. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 14, 2005 Page 4 <br /> Regular Session <br /> <br /> <br />
