The Renewal Agency has recommended that the request be granted. Staff :i II. has discussed the request, and in general would recommend permission be granted, if the II Ii ' I: design meets ci ty building codes and other cri teria., The concept is encouraged in l .: the z:r!a'll to break up the line. I " I !! Mr. Gribskov was concerned that fire lanes would be inaccessible in the alleys. Bob I ;1 Thomas, Eugene Renewal Agency, explained that the alleys would be pedestrian alleys ;1 I,: designed to integrate wi th the department store. Access mor fire-fighting equipment i.I' I! would be primarily in front of the store. I I ' " I !i Mr. Williams expressed concern that the permi t would be revocable.

Resolution Establishing Special Commission to Deli ver Results of Referendum Measure - ! - I 5/26/71 Councilman Mohr requested reconsi-eration of this proposal. I [I I " I II Mayor lb.derson said he has had an opportuni ty to discuss this proposal, and has 1:1 concluded that the Council could adopt a -resolution indicating the results- of the i' i election and canv.ass of the votes and relay it to the appropriate authori ties and ,ill I,' members of Congress. He felt the total effect would be very good. :- ;1 ' !I ,., [: Mrs. Beal suggested that the Council await the outcome of the election in Corvallis I,) :1 on the same measure before making a decision. She felt if that measure passed, the I I" I ,I two cities could send a delegate with the results of both elections. She also wanted I: ,j ': ti,me to discuss this wi th the various peace groups. " it Mayor Anderson was still convinced that the Cbuncil could frame a document which would Ii satisfy everyone, and after approval it could be sent to appropr~ate authorities. I , I II I Ii Mr. Teague agreed wi th the Mayor. Even though the resolution specified that the Council !I II would not pay expenses, someone would have to raise the money. I ,I I " !/ Mr. Williams agreed basically with the philosophy, but felt a resolution should be sent, i 11 rather than carried by an indi vi dual, for three reasons: 1) He disapproved of the 'I ,i Council asking individuals making up a Commission to incur sizable expense unless the " IC~ ii body politic was willing to pay the expenses; 2) While that vote carried, he was not !i ~: sure it was a majority opinion of the community, since it was actually a 14% vote; :1 ii 3) There was a great deal of misunderstanding about that particular vote; and a JI --... II difference of opinion about what it said and what it meant. III 'I II :1 Mr. Gribskov moved to direct staff to draw a resolution as suggested and bring it back :1 for Council approval. il \1 There was further Council discussion about the content of the resolution.
