<br />Good Neighbor Behavior: <br />Capstone is interviewing local contractors. Almost certainly most of the workers will be local, <br /> <br />regardless of the contractor. <br />Capstone has pledged to follow all city codes related to noise and air quality. They have also said <br /> <br />that they will try to be sensitive about starting noisy construction later than 7AM if possible. <br />Capstone has agreed to a program of systematic communication with Olive Plaza about the <br /> <br />construction process so as to keep them updated. <br />Capstone has agreed to a program of quarterly communications with Olive Plaza residents to <br /> <br />ensure that there is two-way positive communication; the focus will be on “known or potential <br />noise or other nuisance issues with the operations of the student housing community upon Olive <br />Plaza.” (per written document, available upon request from DNA or Steve Master.) <br />A member of the project staff will serve on the DNA Steering Committee. This will encourage <br /> <br />further communication and accountability for all parties. <br />“Good Neighbor” information will be provided by Capstone management to all residents of the <br /> <br />project; this will be done in concert with the Downtown Neighborhood Association. <br /> <br />Long Term Management: <br />Although Capstone indicates that it is unlikely that any future purchaser of the project would have <br /> <br />less rigorous management, Downtown Neighborhood Association remains quite concerned about <br />this issue. <br /> <br />Public Safety: <br />Police Chief Kerns has answered DNA’s specific inquiry, saying he is confident that EPD can <br /> <br />meet the challenges that may be presented by the project. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br />On March 28 the Downtown Neighborhood Association Steering Committee voted 6-1 to support the <br />Capstone project with reservations. Although DNA wants to support enthusiastically the construction of <br />the Capstone Project, we continue to have concerns. In order to address our reservations, we offer the <br />following: <br /> <br />Recommendations to the City Council <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Consider a building code or ordinance to require 24/7, professional management and supervision <br />(what Capstone calls “Courtesy” officers) of any building with more than a specified number of <br />residents. <br /> <br /> <br /> Provide for a safe, direct bicycle/pedestrian link between the University and downtown (probably <br />on 13th Avenue, since 12th is neither very safe nor direct). <br /> <br /> <br /> Negotiate with Capstone for the provision of an on-site Bike Share station. <br /> <br /> <br /> Provide restricted or reserved on-street parking for Olive Plaza caregivers and/or residents. <br /> <br /> <br /> Consider multiple family housing a priority in future Downtown development. <br /> <br />Submitted for Eugene City Council consideration by David Mandelblatt, Chair, Downtown Neighborhood <br /> <br />Association, with approval of the DNA Steering Committee <br /> <br />
