th <br />5Street Public Market Expansion <br /> Public Hearing July 16, 2018 <br />Dear Eugene Mayor and City Councilors, <br />Good evening. I am Gary Wildish at 2424 Quince St. Eugene, OR 97404. Longtime resident of Eugene. I <br />th <br />am unable to be at the Hearing so I am submitting testimony in support of the 5Street Public Market <br />Expansion. <br />The alley vacation request seems like a reasonable, fair and is consistent with what is happening and is <br />proposed to happen in the area around the Market. <br />We have talked a great deal about increasing the density in the core area of Eugene for quite a while. <br />The request for increasing the height in the Market expansion would be a good way to facilitate that <br />conversation. I think the Ya-Po-Ah Terrace is too tall. <br />I see the 5 th Street Public Market as a Heritage area in Eugene. I feel we citizens can be proud of the <br />results of the OBIE folk’s efforts. They have invested a great deal and the results are attractive and a <br />great benefit to our community. The 5 th Street Public Market is a fun place to shop, eat or just walk <br />around. The proposed sign for the Hotel may not meet the existing code but it is consistent with the era <br />when most of that area was developed. I would encourage action that would allow there proposed sign. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration, <br />Gary Wildish <br />*´«¸ ΑΒǾ ΑΏΐΗǾ -¤¤³¨­¦ ȃ )³¤¬ Γ <br /> <br />
