425 Half the building looks like office space, which is okay. But the other half looks like a bland museum - this half needs to be utilized better. Include an additional restaurant, bar, or retail/shopping space. We need more food options on the riverfront. Don't waste half the building by creating a museum. 1/28/2019 12:50 PM 426 This is very exciting, thank you for being willing to invest in this community asset.1/28/2019 12:49 PM 427 We need an independent city auditor to oversee exciting new projects like this.1/28/2019 12:14 PM 428 parking Rather than spending $90k on outside consultants, they should probably just BUILD HOUSING. All of the fell good puffery of your video ignores the fact that our city is an embarrassment. We need to SHRINK our urban growth boundary and get serious about in-fill. We should change our rules regarding set-backs, and alter zoning requirements to get rid of parking lots. There is no good reason for a city of our size to have a string of single story commercial buildings in its downtown core. ...Your project is way down the list of what should be our city's priorities. 1/28/2019 11:32 AM 429 keep the urban feel along with the history of why the plant has been preserved.1/28/2019 10:16 AM 430 having an anchor draw to the location will be important to bring community and commerce to the location. A local hero would be nice but shouldn't exclude outside Lane Co businesses. An Oregon hero from outside of Lane Co could be a strong draw. 1/28/2019 10:14 AM 431 It would be great to have the majority of the building available for public use, and not for office space. I think you can be creative with finding other avenues for revenue that are more community based and less privatized. 1/28/2019 10:13 AM 432 Permanent art installations on the exterior or outside of the building 1/28/2019 10:02 AM 433 relocate saturday market 1/28/2019 9:41 AM 434 The community cannot sustain this in the short term and will require subsidy. I love the big idea but economically it makes no sense. There is no shortage of office space in the area. The coworking model does not work as anyone who follows the We Company story knows. 1/28/2019 9:12 AM 435 parking I think it would be really disappointing to only focus on filling the building with office spaces. Please think about putting in retail and restaurant spaces that would lend towards tourism. The park and outside spaces are stunning and I really hope there will be opportunity for local chefs, a local winery and a local brewery - and some retail spaces to be featured in the space/on the river. 1/28/2019 7:50 AM 436 More affordable housing. At least half of the units.1/28/2019 12:30 AM 437 Nothing 1/27/2019 10:08 PM 438 Please focus on a space that would benefit our community as a whole, and make this a welcoming place for us and or visitors to enjoy 1/27/2019 7:38 PM 439 There should also be accessible outdoor space with shade trees and benches to enjoy the space outside. 1/27/2019 7:17 PM 440 parking Looking at the space from above on Google Maps, I see that there will be ample parking. But looking inside the space, I do wonder about access for the older set or people not firing on all cylinders physically speaking. Myself included. 1/27/2019 6:45 PM 441 TURN THIS PROJECT OVER TO THE MCMENAMIN BROTHERS. They have a history of successful projects in this area. 1/27/2019 2:16 PM 442 quit wasting tax money we can not afford 1/27/2019 2:15 PM 443 It would be excellent if it had access both paid and not so families or individuals could enjoy without necessarily being there just to visit a business. We’d be more likely to visit a restaurant or store there while also exploring the area or enjoying a bike ride/walk along the different paths than to have to seek it out specifically. 1/27/2019 2:13 PM 444 parking Parking parking Not everone wants to ride a bus or bike So don’t force that on people 1/27/2019 2:03 PM 445 A landing for boats and rafts.1/27/2019 1:17 PM 446 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohrd9I8gt74 https://www.freelanced.com/williammichaelmchugh https://flextek-media.weebly.com/ I would like to help. 1/27/2019 9:27 AM 83 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
