Responding to a question from Mr. Fart, Mr. Lowe indicated he would check his volume comparisons. <br /> <br />Mr. Fart asked Mr. Lowe if it was safe to say that as land inside the urban growth boundary became more <br />scarce, development would occur at higher densities. Mr. Lowe believed it was very speculative to say so. Mr. <br />Fart did not agree. He asked Mr. Johnson to clarify his reference to non-peak hours. Mr. Johnson said that he <br />meant the employees were more likely to come and go earlier and later than other commuters. Mr. Fart <br />suggested that meant the traffic impact from the Crescent site would be less because of that fact. Mr. Johnson <br />distinguished employee commuting times from the regular business and visiting traffic that would also be <br />using the hospital. <br /> <br />Mr. Fart asked Mr. Johnson if he had ever eaten dinner at Poppi's or seen a movie at the Mayflower. Mr. <br />Johnson said yes. Mr. Fart said he was not interested in more of the area being bulldozed for the hospital. <br /> <br />Mr. Fart left the meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey solicited the council's position on holding a public forum on June 28 or July 2. <br /> <br />The council briefly discussed the best day for the public forum given the holiday. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson reported that staff intended to schedule a property owners' meeting that was separate from the <br />public forum. <br /> <br />At the request of Ms. Bettman, Mr. Johnson described the format of the proposed forum, which would include <br />a period during which staff would answer questions from the public and an opportunity for the public to <br />provide comment to the council. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. Rayor, moved to hold a public forum on June 28. The <br /> motion failed, 4:2; Mr. Kelly and Ms. Taylor voting yes. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey determined that there was consensus for a forum on July 2. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly advocated for the use of Samoan circles as a part of the public forum. Mr. Johnson indicated staff <br />would look for a variety of techniques. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson solicited council input on the unresolved and other issues. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly thought any revenue source should be time-limited. Regarding the subject of residential <br />displacement, he believed the residents in question would be displaced to locations all over the community, not <br />necessarily at the periphery. Regarding the issue of cost-sharing, Mr. Kelly underscored that the City had not <br />agreed to cost-sharing. He suggested that construction downtown might be more expensive because of a lack <br />of a construction staging area, but that could be overcome by the fact the hospital would have plenty of <br />phasing space with ten blocks, easing the differential. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner wanted the City's Growth Management Study policies to mean something, and he wanted the City <br />to follow something. He wondered if Mr. Fart's objections would be the same if the hospital was <br />contemplating a move to the end of South Amazon or near Churchill High School. He thought a centralized <br />location for the hospital was important. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 18, 2001 Page 8 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
