MINUTES OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING WITH EUGENE CITY COUNCIL, Page 15 <br />METROPOLITAN POLICY COMMITTEE, AND LANE TRANSIT DISTRICT <br />BOARD OF DIRECTORS, FEBRUARY 8, 2011 <br />has owned property in the area since the 1950s. He owns AutoZone. When LTD said it is going to <br />take 15 feet from his property, it will mean that AutoZone would be gone. Those who are opposed <br />are a diverse group, but there is a common thread that this system does not work. The facts from <br />LTD are not substantiated, and are smoke and mirrors. The needs of the City and the community all <br />need to be remembered. This is an important decision, and bad things can happen through bad <br />decisions. There is a lot of information submitted by him and others. He wants an informed decision <br />made based on facts. This is a bad decision and will have a bad impact on Eugene. <br />CLOSING OF PUBLIC HEARING — Mayor Piercy closed the Eugene City Council public hearing; <br />Ms. Wylie closed the Metropolitan Policy Committee public hearing; and Mr. Eyster closed the Lane <br />Transit District public hearing. <br />COUNCIL, BOARD, AND STAFF COMMENTS — Tom Schwetz reviewed the West Eugene EmX <br />schedule. The MPC will discuss EmX at its meeting on February 10, 2011. The public hearing was <br />held tonight to take testimony on the draft recommendation. The Joint Locally Preferred Alternative <br />Committee will meet on February 14, 2011, to develop a recommendation based on the comments <br />received during the open house and public hearing as well as other testimony received. The <br />recommendation will then be forwarded to the Eugene City Council, MPC, and LTD Board of <br />Directors. He said people can send written testimony to LTD. He asked the presiding officials to <br />leave their comments or questions on the forms at their places. <br />ADJOURNMENT — The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Bw 1 <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />
