PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE CONCERNING AN ALLEY VACATION LOCATED SOUTH OF 8TH AVENUE BETWEEN WILLAMETTE AND OLIVE STREETS (CITY OF EUGENE) (AV 89-2) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Jerry Jacobson, Planning and Development Department, reported that the alley proposed for vacation currently serves as an access aisle to the surface parking lots on the half-block bounded by Willamette Street, 8th Avenue, and Olive Street. The Eugene Renewal Agency is the owner of those parking lots. The request does not involve the east-west alley which currently services businesses on the south half of the block. The vacation is necessary to prepare the site for development and will result in the consolidation of two parcels into one development site. Since there are various utilities in the alley, right-of-way and easement will be retained that will provide right-of-entry for the maintenance or repair of the utilities. The easement described in the ordinance will allow the right to build over the easement above a clearance of 16 feet. The Downtown Commission unanimously recommended approval of the vacation request. e Responding to questions from Mr. Holmer, Mr. Jacobson said the alley is owned by the City of Eugene. After the vacation, it would be owned by the Eugene Renewal Agency. Mr, Gleason said that occupation of the alley would be incorporated into the value of the land transaction which is expected to be over $3 million. At Mr. Green's request, Mr. Jacobson clarified that standard ordinance language includes a statement that no valid objections have been made when no objections are received. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, the public hearing was closed.
