<br />in the park which met Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards, and improving <br />ingress/egress to Day Island Road. She said she thought the park needed a better intersection where <br />Day Island Road intersects with Club Road. <br /> <br />Glen Love, 393 Ful Vue Drive, stated that he was an advocate for developing a boat landing in Alton <br />Baker Park and represented the interests of the McKenzie Flyfishers organization. He expressed <br />appreciation that such a landing was included in the proposed park plan and stated that it was the only <br />public landing within Eugene's city limits. <br /> <br />Mr . Weber commented that contact with the State Fish and Wildlife Department has indicated that <br />funding for development of the boat landing might be available through ODF&W and/or the State <br />Marine Board. <br /> <br />Jim Johnson, 22 West 7th Avenue, stated that he was Executive Manager of the City of Eugene's <br />Library, Recreation, and Cultural Services. He said that future refmements to the proposed park plan <br />would involve members of the public and that participation would be solicited by public announcement <br />and use of mailing lists of interested parties developed at public meetings and public hearings about the <br />park. <br /> <br />Mr. Etter closed the public hearing. He said he was sympathetic to altering a proposed bicycle path by <br />moving it closer to the edge of what is known as East Alton Baker Park, to reduce the residential street- <br />like character to the east of the houses. He said the change could solve accessible viewpoint issues and <br />eliminate an alley atmosphere in the current access road. <br /> <br />Ms. Stein said she favored such an option and encouraged any development to be planned to have <br />minimal construction impact on the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Medlin said that he would favor relocating the existing right-of-way to provide for a meandering <br />style road and to avoid impact on designated wildlife preservation areas. <br /> <br />Mr. Etter stated that the suggested alteration of the plan would be considered with the East Alton Baker <br />Citizen Advisory Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Etter thanked those who had attended the public hearing. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. <br /> <br />(Recorded by Dan Lindstrom) <br />r:197pwlwabp04'(J67 <br /> <br />MINUTES-- West Alton Baker Park <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />June 4, 1997 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />
