249 Railroad crossings present several unique challenges to development. If parking space will be developed adjacent to the Steam Plant, please consider working with Union Pacific to address potential bottlenecking around the grade crossing. 2/5/2019 5:33 PM 250 keep integrity of building 2/5/2019 4:32 PM 251 The type of kayak shown in your river view rendering is completely inappropriate and probably dangerous for that section of river. Inner tubes or drift boats would be more appropriate. Thank you for realizing that the river path is an important transit corridor for bicyclist, and that you would take steps to not impede the flow of traffic on the path. 2/5/2019 4:21 PM 252 Low income apts 2/5/2019 3:31 PM 253 do it!2/5/2019 3:26 PM 254 Looks good.2/5/2019 1:58 PM 255 I want a place where people who are on the low economic end can come & feel safe and curious. Eugene has come up with a lot of eclectic shops with really expensive things that creates a feeling of you're not our caliber rather than being a warm welcoming place we who are lower working class want to come back to. 2/5/2019 12:19 PM 256 They should replicate the process that generated this proposal in other areas within the urban growth boundary and offer more creative solutions than arbitrary red tape, fear of change, and general confusion. 2/5/2019 12:13 PM 257 GO TEAM! Thank you!2/5/2019 12:10 PM 258 Finding a way to not make the space rent impossible for local artists.2/5/2019 12:09 PM 259 focus on importance of historical presentation and consider green alternatives for business space heating 2/5/2019 12:04 PM 260 keep it as it is 2/5/2019 11:57 AM 261 Transportation/Parking/Bike Path Access 2/5/2019 11:20 AM 262 Additional office space ok. Don’t like the mix of modern with historical steam plant. Any new construction should match style of the steam plant. Disagree with the architect who thinks the modern works well with the historic 2/5/2019 10:36 AM 263 The importance of new and innovative kinds of public and private use. The space and lighting lends itself to collaborative projects and community building. 2/5/2019 10:18 AM 264 Make sure that it is financially sustainable.2/4/2019 10:30 PM 265 97403 2/4/2019 9:13 PM 266 Making it taller and adding the overlook is a horrible, ugly, inappropriate design feature. The concrete mass to support the large deck is NOT OKAY. The river is gorgeous and that part of the design is ugly and unacceptible. There are plenty of other areas for people to look at the river. We don't need one more messing up the riparian zone. Re-do the steam plant with its current footprint and height and be happy with that. Build it right and add the right features and people will visit. Overstep your bounds and we will protest. 2/4/2019 7:52 PM 267 I'd really like to see a rooftop or balcony space with a river view that is either a bar/restaurant/coffee shop. A place for community to take place around food/drink. For such a spectacular community on the edge of nature, we do not utilize rooftop/ balcony opportunities like this as we could. 2/4/2019 4:17 PM 268 Don’t over brand the walls too much. That seems to be a design element that is popular with new architecture and then there is no room for artwork. I hope you are already considering where the percent for art locations might be. 2/4/2019 4:14 PM 269 The depicted river overlook is surprisingly ugly. It is not clear why the river outlook is even needed. Won't the views from the upper floors be so much better? Wouldn't a crenulated hard landscaped river edge with a variety of seating areas, and view areas, be able to be used by more people? Why spend the money for the minimal use? The small blue metal river overlook across from Valley River Center isn't used that much, so why make another? 2/4/2019 3:20 PM 270 parking Parking, Parking, and more parking! No matter what goes into the Steamplant it will need plenty of parking. 2/4/2019 2:58 PM 76 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
