THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING WAS TO CONSIDER THE WAIVER OF SETBACK ON WILLAMETTE StREET AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF PORTLAND STREET AS REQUESTED BY THE EUGENE,WATER & ELECTRIC BOARD FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A" PUMPHOUSE SERVING THE SOUTH WILLAMETTE AND COLLEGE CREST AREAS. THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES A 22 FOOT FRONTAGE SET BACK WHICH IF HELD TO, THE OWNER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PLACE THE BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY. FURTHER, THE TRAVELLED PORTION OF PORTLAND STREET IS NOT WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE DEDICATED RIGHT OF WAY; IT ALSO ENCROACHES ON THE WATER BOARD PROPERTY APPROXIMATELY EIGHT FEET ON THE NORTH SIDE AND SIXTEEN FEET ON THE-SOUTH SIDE OR AN AVERAGE OF' I 2 FEET OVER THE WEST LINE OF THEIR PROPERTY. THE PUMP- HOUSE AS PLATTED ON THE PROPERTY WOULD PROJECT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING TWO FEET INTO THE TRAVELLED ROAD. SINCE ONLY TWO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WERE PRESENT THERE WAS NO DEFINITE DECISION TAKEN I REGARDING THE WAIVER OF SETBACK ON WILLAMETTE STREET. HOWEVER, THE SAID BOARD MEMBERS SUGGESTED THAT THE EUGENE WATER BOARD EXPLORE-;THE POSSIBILITIES OF PURCHASING A STRIP OF LAND ADJOINING TO THE NORTHEAST UPON WHICH IS LOCATED'THE EXISTING PUMP HOUSE. THIS BUILDING IS P~RTLY ON PROPERTY BELONGING TO OTHERS AND THIS DISCREPANCY WAS PARTLY DUE TO A FAULTY SURVEY IN THE PAST. THE ISSUE TO BE DETERMINED IS ALLOWANCE OF A TEN FOOT SETBACK ON WILLAMETTE STREET AND THE REALIGNMENT OF THE TRAVELLED ROADWAY OF PORTLAND STREET. MR. ALBERT BRODSKY WHO OWNS PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE OF PORTLAND STREET HAS A DRIVE- WAY WHICH PROJECTS INTO STREET APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET AND BY SHIFTING THE TRAVELLED ROADWAY WITHIN THE PLATTED RIGHT OF WAY WOULD ELIMINATE HIS DRIVE.
