- 13th and Kincaid Area Ms. Wooten moved, and Ms. Bascom seconded, to approve the location of four or fewer vendors in the 13th and Kincaid area from 12th Avenue to 14th Avenue. Ms. Bascom said the business owners in the 13th and Kincaid area had agreed to a relocation of the four existing vendors. She said there is congestion now on the corner. She would like to relocate the vendors on a trial basis. Ms. Wooten would be willing to have the four vendors now located at 13th and Kincaid remain at their present locations. Responding to a question from Ms. Schue, Ms. Wooten said approval of her motion would allow a vendor to be replaced if the vendor left the area. It would not allow vendor activity to increase. Mr. Hansen reiterated the concerns of the permanent business owners in the area and said he would oppose the motion. He said the pushcart regulations were originally enacted to allow pushcarts on the downtown mall. Responding to a question from Mr. Miller, Ms. Smernoff said the permanent business owners would be disappointed if the motion passed. She discussed the high rents and other business considerations in the area. She said business owners supported disbursing the vendors because the congestion and the compe- tition would be reduced. e Ms. Ehrman would vote against the motion because it would "break faith" with business owners in the area. The motion failed in a voice vote, 2:5. Mr. Holmer had left the meeting. Ms. Ehrman moved, and Mr. Hansen seconded, to approve Adminis- trative Rule B 10 concerning the 150 linear foot distance from a restaurant, food store, or flower shop for all parts of the city except the downtown mall. The motion carried on a voice vote, 5:2. Ms. Wooten stated she did not favor the council setting criteria for fees. The work session was adjourned at 1 :38 p.m. (Recorded by Betty Lou Rarick) l743C ,e MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 22, 1985 Page 7
