In response to a question from Mr. Rayor, Kent Kullby, Planning Division, indicated that the ordinance did not deal with anything other than the vacation and did not address the other requirements that had been agreed to by the parties. Addressing a follow-up question, staff said the access reserve strip separated the right-of-way from the private property and will show up in any title report. It is very clear that the City has control over anyone that passes over the reserve strip, which is there to prevent industrial traffic from mixing with residential traffic on 4th Avenue. Staff called attention to additional material in the meeting packet discussing other improvements. Gary McNeel, Public Works Transportation, indicated that the Whiteaker Plan called for designated truck routes and this project will initiate that routing. Ms. Nathanson paraphrased the discussion on the access reserve strip by saying this sets up a legal mechanism for enforcement. Mr. Klein confirmed this, and said the City could choose to build a one-foot brick wall within the strip for better control. The council had no objection to taking action on the matter this evening. The City Manager asked the council to consider Council Bill 4687, an ordinance vacating a portion of West 4th Avenue located west of Almaden Street and east of Filmore Street (A & K Development SV 99-1). Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Mr. Johnson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4687 by number only. Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. Having received a unanimous vote, the bill was declared passed and became Ordinance No. 20155. VI. ACTION: 1999-00 FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR FEDERAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAMS Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, to adopt the One-Year Action Plans and use of prior years' funds as presented for the Community Development Block Grant Program, and the One-Year Action Plan for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. Roll call vote. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Minutes--Eugene City Council May 10, 1999 Page 5 7:30 p.m.
