<br />'protection to individuals and gave an illustration that "liberty,
<br />means one thing to a wolf and.it means something else to a sheep" --
<br />, they felt the 1990 Plan would give some kind of protection to -the
<br />'sheep. He suggested that upon implementation of the plan,when the
<br />Citizens Advisory Committee is appointed, that in addition to realtors,
<br />developers, and members with ,expertise, ,tl1at someone on social security,
<br />some blue collar workers, some renters , some.one whose only. expertise,.
<br />is living in 'Eugene be placed on the committee., 'Mr. Tussing added that
<br />upon adoption of the plan the group ,he is repres~ntingwill follow the
<br />progress of the plan and have an active voice in, the amendments.
<br />
<br />Neil Murray, 653 West Broadway, stated that he lives in the neighb;orhood
<br />that is just west of the downtown urban business district and felt that
<br />neighborhood is being unsystematically destroyed by encroaching
<br />commercial district and speculative land buyers and absentee landlords
<br />who fail to tend their property. The traffic patterns are dividing
<br />the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is becoming mor.e and more a
<br />neighborhood of only very young and very old. Many of the same problems
<br />are threatening other neighborhoods throughout the metropolitan area.
<br />He sees this 1990 Plan as providing basic guidelines through which we
<br />can begin a systematic way of solving problems that are facing his
<br />neighborhood and many others throughout the community. He felt a need
<br />for more restrictive growth patterns and therefore urged the governing
<br />bociies tOGldop!.the_19~0 ~!an._

<br />Bert Fegles, Pleasant Hill, ,stated that he would not:d.i:r:e.c.t..J'li.s. -remarks'
<br />to anyone "in particular. He stated that.life...:had,~beerLgoo.d ..to him and he
<br />wants to see other people have more than he has been, able to aCCOJIlplish.
<br />He is opposed to the, 1990 Plan and considers it to be "75 .p.age-sof pure
<br />gaI'bageo" He felt the plan served as a means of fooling the .people
<br />questioned why so much time and 'money had been spent on such a plan. Mr.
<br />Fegles was critical of the "federal beauracracygrants" that financed
<br />such a plan and felt that Lane County is being destroyed by tax~free
<br />foundation grants. l1esai,,9- that,"when'~ any gt~J.lp. takes one man's earnings
<br />and one man's lifeahddeiis it 'out to the ben~fit of others it is not
<br />any better than Russia and ,Ohina." He sai~i:~hat if the people who are
<br />adopting this plan 'care about future generations and the future of their,
<br />grandchildren,tl}at they should" "chuck ''the . whole rotten mess."
<br />
<br />'.
<br />
<br />Tim Greenhoot, 650 East Jlth, student at Northwest Christan College,
<br />stated that he had revlewed the plan ,and felt that it should be implemented
<br />immediately"
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Lloyd Bond, 2740 Spring Boulevard, commented that he was gene~ally in favor
<br />of the concept of the 1990 Plan in principle, but had some reservations on
<br />interpretation of the plan. He requested clarification of the urban
<br />service boundary and questioned whether all areas that are within the
<br />pTesent city limits are considered to be inside the urban service area.
<br />John Porter replied that not all areas within the corporate Umi ts are
<br />included in the urban service boundary. The actual boundaries in detail
<br />aTe something local agencies will have to work out. An example is~, one
<br />of the very difficult ones to define is in the south hills of Eugene and
<br />also some hill areas adjacent to Springfield -- also an area around Green
<br />Hill Road where the full range of urban services are not provided for in
<br />this plan,
<br />
<br />Mr, Bond reiterated his concern about interpretation of the urban service
<br />boundary because he understands that those really are cOT).tFolled by the
<br />areas that can receive the urban services at a reasonable level of service,
<br />\vhich would deteTmine whether it was in or outside this boundary. He is
<br />concerned that there are no major hangups or conflicts in that particular
<br />part of the document.

<br />Dan Herbert, 4450 Hilyard Street, Eugene, said he has watched the devel-
<br />opment of the plan through public hearings and feels the plan is not only
<br />a very good plan but also is a plan which carries within it the means for
<br />its own improvement. The strength of citizen participation process has
<br />been a crucial part of the plan and has changed the complexion of the
<br />plan fTom merely being a good product to a very good plan, This aspect
<br />allows citizens and elected officials to realize the plan does not have
<br />to be perfect J because we know it can be improved through.. provisions
