Vacation of Right-of-Way Located on Moss Street (Williams Bakery) (SV 85-3) (memo, map, background information distributed) Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow introduced the agenda item. Bill French of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said approval of the request would vacate 400 feet of Moss Street south of East 13th Avenue. The utilities can be relocated. He discussed the concerns of the Fairmount Neighbors and said the Public Works staff indicated traffic can be accom- modated on adjacent streets. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. Tom Williams, 2773 Tomahawk Lane, represented Williams Bakery. He said the e City Traffic Division staff told him the unloading of bakery trucks caused enforcement problems on Moss Street. He said the bakery could not abandon the unloading dock, but he would pay the City for the street property if it was vacated. Now 89 percent of the property owners supported the vacation which was in the best interest of the bakery. There being no other requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Answering questions from Councilors Ehrman and Miller, Mr. French said Williams Bakery will pay the City about $113,000 for the property. Mr. Whitlow said the money will go into the working capital of the general fund. Responding to a comment from Ms. Bascom, Mr. French said Mr. Williams had included details of plans to landscape the triangular parcel of land between the bakery and Franklin Boulevard in a letter to the Planning staff. Mr. Williams said the University of Oregon owns the land. He reviewed past negotiations with landscape architects and University representatives. He said Williams bakery will pay for the development of the property, but what to do with the existing parking lot must be decided, a landscape plan must be accepted by all concerned, and the property owner should agree to maintain the property. Councilor Hansen was pleased to know Williams Bakery is expanding and com- mended the owners for continued involvement in the community. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 28, 1985 Page 2
