Ms. Solomon felt that the timing of the WG requests regarding the PSA was unfortunate as the City still did not <br />know the intentions of LCC in relation to the Beam development project. She worried that the City might find itself <br />committed to the use of the full 50,000 square feet on that project in addition to the use of another 15,000 square feet <br />th <br />at the 10 and Charnelton location. <br />Ms. Solomon maintained that the lease considerations of the Beam and WG development projects ran contrary to the <br />City’s goal of consolidation of its services. <br />Ms. Laurence, responding to a question from Ms. Solomon, stated that in accordance with the proposed PSA <br />th <br />amendments, WG would be committed to begin construction on the west quarter-block of the 10 and Charnelton site <br />by the end of May 2010. <br />Ms. Laurence, responding to a question from Ms. Solomon, understood that WG hoped to move forward with the <br />development of the west quarter-block as the first phase of their development in the hopes that the successful <br />development of that section of the property would facilitate the continued development of the east quarter-block of the <br />property as the second phase. <br />Ms. Laurence, responding to a question from Ms. Solomon, noted that WG had paid $50,000 in earnest money <br />th <br />regarding the development of 10 and Charnelton which would be split into two equal parts should the development <br />proceed in two phases as requested by WG. <br />Mr. Brown indicated he found the phased approach to the WG development project acceptable. <br />Ms. Laurence, responding to a question from Mr. Brown, noted that the current plans for the WG development <br />project called for a mixed-use facility with one floor of commercial space below four floors of residential housing. <br />Mr. Zelenka found the WG requests acceptable and believed that current economic conditions were likely to improve <br />over the coming year. <br />Mr. Zelenka averred that approving WG’s phased development approach and subsequently delaying the development <br />th <br />of the east quarter-block of the 10 and Charnelton site might give the City the flexibility to potentially develop a <br />civic campus as had often been discussed. <br />Ms. Laurence responded to Mr. Zelenka’s comment and noted that under their phased approach WG would develop <br />th <br />the east quarter-block of the 10and Charnelton site if they chose to purchase the property with the intent of doing so <br />no later than September 30, 2010. She further noted that the City had not specifically negotiated any options to <br />withdraw from the PSA with WG. <br />Mr. Zelenka stated that he found splitting the earnest money to be acceptable to him. <br />Ms. Ortiz supported the City Manager’s recommendation but worried that the WG development project might not <br />ultimately proceed. <br />Mr. Brown shared Ms. Ortiz’s concerns and further warned that there might be further revisions and purchasing <br />delays regarding the WG development project. He suggested that it might ultimately be advisable to open up the east <br />th <br />quarter-block of the 10 and Charnelton site to other development interests. <br />th <br />Mr. Poling was uncomfortable with the idea of opening the development of the east quarter-block of the 10 and <br />Charnelton site or repurposing that portion of the site for a civic campus. He commented that he shared Ms. Ortiz’s <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 10, 2009 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
