<br />SUMMARY OF ORAL TESTIMONY 5lztO\q ~ <br /> <br />Gardens - Sister City, Oriental, Friendship. Would like 15 to 20 acres by the Amphitheater, <br />maybe on the north side of the amphitheater? The gardens would be supported by the <br />Asian/American Foundation (including $). There should be a building on the site, and there <br />should be the use of water throughout the garden - water features, focal points, needed for fish <br />and plants. -AAFO (Would the Tree Garden be compatible with the Oriental Garden concept?) <br /> <br />Restoration of Natural Values - Need a Nature Center for Nearby Nature. Need a nature trail and <br />bridge to the Butterfly Sanctuary and Heron Woods. Would like to use one of the existing <br />houses for the program. Nearby Nature would like to see Day Island Road eventually removed <br />to Ken Nielsen Gardens. Sensitive areas need to be ecologically managed. Change the cornfield <br />to Habitat Restoration testing area. (Be careful about allowing single use areas like the U.ofO. <br />Cornfield) -NN (Nearby Nature, Joseph Minato) <br /> <br />No to all the proposed new bridges over the Willamette River, and no new roads thru the park. - <br />NN <br /> <br />Need a small pedestrian bridge over the canal, just south ofWISTEC. -NN <br /> <br />Nearby Nature would support a bus stop near the intersection of Day Island Road and Leisure <br />Lane. <br /> <br />Alton Baker Park needs good signage to help people find their way. -NN <br /> <br />Nearby Nature supports the function of the Wistec facility. <br /> <br />Existing houses are in violation of the Willamette Greenway. <br /> <br />South Bank - North Bank Inconsistency - but there are adopted plans for each side. <br /> <br />Flood Plain Problem at the Museum Site - may rule out any additional buildings, could consider <br />other uses - an opportunity area for other than museums. - jj <br /> <br />Boat Ramp on Willamette River needed.(site south of existing picnic shelters discussed) -jj and <br />NN <br /> <br />Canoe Parking Problems - need parking and launching area for canoeists putting in west of <br />spillway. -jj <br /> <br />Thramer House Foundation - apparent lack of interest in this and associated Agric. Histor. Area. <br /> <br />Festivals and Special Events- Need a better location. "Art in the Vineyard" is hard on the park, <br />Cuthbert area may be better (between Cuthbert and parking lot - Thramer area). Need restrooms, <br />power, and water. -jj <br />
