Councilor Clark asked if the council’s decision could be appealed. City Attorney Kathryn Brotherton <br />indicated she would follow-up after doing more research. Councilor Clark wanted to know on what basis <br />the council decision could be appealed, and asked the attorney to respond to the testimony offered by Ms. <br />Kingrey. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling was familiar with the area in question and agreed with Councilor Clark that traffic was a <br />major concern. In regard to the issue of school capacity, Councilor Poling believed the council needed to <br />weigh the question of capacity against the quality of education. He said the schools could probably <br />absorb the additional children but he questioned what happened to the children who would live in <br />Willakenzie Crossing and other proposed developments. He had many questions and reservations about <br />the project and said he would review all the public input he received. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy recalled the public outcry about the Fox Hollow low-income housing project but neighbors <br />had no subsequent problems with the development after it was built. She believed the neighbors to the <br />proposed development had legitimate concerns but also believed most of those concerns could be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />Councilor Brown thanked all those who testified. He challenged those who disputed the school district’s <br />figures to provide accurate figures. <br /> <br />Councilor Farr also thanked those who offered testimony. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 10:47 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 21, 2011 Page 14 <br /> Public Hearing <br />
