<br /> Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman and Ms. Bascom, Mr. Croteau said most of <br /> the properties in the area are investment properties and are rented. The <br /> e City's GO zone could be applied to the properties if the Metro Plan amendment <br /> is approved. Ms. Brody said the council referred the South Willamette Study <br /> in CATS to the Planning Commission for additional consideration of an area <br /> farther north on Willamette Street. <br /> Replying to questions from Mayor Obie, Ms. Schue said the Willamette Street <br /> "Gut" impacts residential development more than commercial development. She <br /> said houses ,on Wi 11 amette Street in this area are not very desirable <br /> residences because of the traffic but there must be rental properties <br /> somewhere. Mr. Croteau said the IIGutll was not studied as a significant issue <br /> when the amendment was analyzed. <br /> Ms. Bascom said the houses in the area are run down. <br /> III.

Some opposition <br /> to the regulations was voiced during the forum. Later, Mr. Miller met with <br /> representatives of groups interested in the regulations and attempted to find <br /> a compromi se. <br /> Mr. Miller reviewed compromise suggestions. <br /> e 1. Calculate slope adjustments at six percent increments instead of <br /> three percent increments. <br /> Mr. Miller and Mr. Croteau agreed the suggestion was approved by most <br /> interested people. <br /> 2. Guarantee a 26-foot house height instead of a 24-foot height. <br /> Answering questions from Mr. Holmer and Ms. Schue, Mr. Miller said the 24-foot <br /> height allows a two-story house and most two-story houses are between 24 and <br /> 26 feet high. Mr. Bennett said the height is determined by the slope of the <br /> roof. <br /> Ms. Bascom read from the analysis of the suggestion by Les Tumidaj, a Planning <br /> Department consul tant, in the September 28, 1987, memo concerni ng IIAna lysi s by <br /> EWEB and Consultant on Proposed Changes to Solar Access Ordinance.1I <br /> 3. Use January 21 to calculate solar access instead of December 21. <br /> 4. Raise the solar fence from eight to ten or twelve feet for <br /> small lots. <br /> Mr. Miller said an eight-foot fence can be used for large lots. He said Home <br /> Builders Association representatives would 1 i ke to combine the 1 ast two <br /> suggestions and use January 21 and a ten-foot solar fence. <br /> e MINUTES--Eugene City Council Dinner/Work Session September 28, 1987 Page 5 <br />
