Council Bill No. 8595 - Vacating portions of Arthur, Cleveland, and City View Streets, submitted and read the first time in full on August 26, 1968 and held over to this meeting pending opinion with regard to legal sufficiency of petition opposing the vacation, was brought back for constEration. . A memo was read giving the opinion that the petition previously presented by Mr. Chrysler was not legally sufficient. The percentage of properties abutting City View Street and opposing the vacation was not large enough. A letter was read from Robert Elfers reiterating his previous arguments favor- ing the street's vacation. Dr. Donald Slocum said the opinion was in error with regard to the percentage of property abutting City View Street, since property for which he is trustee lies within 400 feet of the street's terminus on the south and he opposes the vacation. The Planning Director explained plans for the area and said legal access could be retained for the Konnie property by not vacating Arthur Street south of 29th Avenue. . Mr. Lassen moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to amend the council bill to vacate only the portion of Arthur Street north of 29th Avenue. It was pointed out that the Chrysler property, if the council bill under discussion is adopted, would still have legal access by way of City View Street to Shields Avenue.

Discussion continued on comparative grades of the two alignments, Eugene Water & Electric Board easements, and plans for future streets when property to the south is developed. Roger Chrysler reviewed the history of the street vacations under discussion and urged the Council to protect the City View right-of-way. Sam Konnie urged retention of access to his property south of Arthur Stree~ and the City View right-of-way. . Mr. McDonald moved seconded by Mr.Teague to amend the council bill by deleting the vacation of City View north of Shields Avenue. Robert Miles mentioned the effect of denying the City View vacation on setbacks along that street where homes have been built on the basis of owning property to the centerline of the City View right- of-way. .
