<br />Ii Councilman Purdy said he received a ruling from the City Attorney. that there is no conflict .of in-
<br />I; terest with regard' to his (Purdy's) voting on this item. Mr. Rubenstein raised the question, .
<br />, Dr. Purdy said, beca4se a renter in a building in which Dr. Purdy has a part interest might move to'
<br />the building proposed by Mr. Rubenstein. Dr. Purdy said h~ voted against granting the egress because
<br />it had been difficult to accomplish the Charter amendment permitting limited access road$, that
<br />limited access roads should be retained as such, and that he felt it was in the pest ineeFests of the
<br />City.
<br />
<br />A letter from the Eugene-Springfield Area'Transportation Study Advisory Committee was read urging re-
<br />tention of Amazon Parkway as a limited access street, and recommending denial of the off~~amp. Mrs.
<br />Robert Moulton member of the Committee, urged denial of the request and said the Committee felt the
<br />I' precedent set if this egress is granted would result in the Committee's having to fight the'same
<br />i! bstt1e again and again in the future.
<br />
<br />Councilman Anderson asked if it is feasible to plan the development. to provide for acce~s from the
<br />Parkway at some future time if it is found enough traffic is generated to warrant it. Mr. Poticha
<br />said he" believed it could be so constructed although difficult. He also said if the egress is not
<br />granted, he dpesn't believe his client should be requested to const~uct access from the Par~ay ,should .,~
<br />the traffic problems arise because of the development. ' ,
<br />
<br />Councilman Lassen asked if the motion included payment by the. developer of costs involved or any
<br />obligation on the part of the City to refund 'the difference in cost should the access be closed. He
<br />mentioned the difference in cost of right-1f-way from those properties where access was denied.
<br />
<br />Mr. Wingard moved seconde~ by Mr. Lassen to amend the motion to include that all costs involved in 411f~
<br />construction of the egress shall be paid by the property owner.as well as cost of land originally ,~
<br />taken for right-of-way; cost of improvement of the Parkway which would have been assessed had access ,-,--'
<br />not been denied, and any cost for removing the access should the permit be revoked. Motion carried.
