<br />2. Planning Commission Report - February 7, 1967
<br />a. Sidewalk Lights, 58 West Broadway - Both the Planning Commission and the Eugene De-
<br />velopment Agency recommended denial of the Wi1msen, Endicott, and Unthank request
<br />to install 34-inch diameter lights on 9-foot standards at the corner of Broadway
<br />and Wi11amette instead of the usual outdoor advertising signs. The recommendations
<br />were based on the premise that this installation, being on an individual basis, may
<br />not fit into the overall plan for the downtown area. However, it was suggested a
<br />temporary permit might be considered requiring removal of the lights should they
<br />not conform with later development of the downtown area. Discussion touched on
<br />further use of the public right-of-way for private use, location of the lights in
<br />relation to parking meters and other equipment, legal problems, possible use of
<br />the light standards for meter poles, possibility of hanging the lights from the
<br />buildings, etc. James Bernhard, representing the architects, said they would
<br />consider a temporary permit and assured the Council the ,installation would not
<br />interfere with other equipment. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to
<br />grant a revocable permit allowing installation of the lights. Motion carried,
<br />Messrs. Purdy, Lassen, and McDonald voting no.
