called the current City Hall a "purposefully non-monumental" building. He thought the structure could have a seismic retro-fit. He opined that Eugene did not have many buildings that approached the caliber of the current City Hall building. He thought there should be a community consensus on the Civic Center and asked the council to slow down and solicit more public input. Mark Rabinowitz, 28549 Sutherlin Lane, listed some of the concepts that had been proposed in the vision of 8th Avenue as a Great Civic Street. He estimated this would cost $100 million to $150 million. He agreed the earthquake threat was real and asked if the City would also retrofit schools, grocery stores, etc. He alleged that the bridge over Interstate 5 was not being built to seismic standards. Mr. Rabinowitz approved of a permanent Farmers Market. He opposed the collocation of victim services agencies in a new public safety building. Regarding the latter, he thought victims could be intimidated by the police. He suggested that, should the public safety building be approved by voters, it should be built to a minimum size. He felt some of the "empty real estate" in the downtown area could be utilized. L auri Segal, 1210 East 29th Place, opined there was a lack of concern for mixed uses and pedestrian scaled amenities in the policy principles. She also expressed concern that there was no description of public open space. She advocated for more open space and amenities that were interrelated with the built environment. Ms. Segal opposed asking the voters to fund more facilities. She said services were lacking and not facilities. She agreed some seismic retro-fitting was needed, but felt the jail and public defenders needed to be staffed first. She felt there were many empty buildings downtown and more buildings were not needed. Dan Herbert, 1913 Potter Street, suggested that prior to consideration of specific projects, a street design that provided the context for the projects was needed. He felt the City should address setbacks, building heights, landscaping, and the types of uses that were being proposed. Mr. Herbert recommended that a public safety building should include related non-governmental and accessory and commercial uses. He thought such things would add liveliness and activity to the street and to the buildings themselves. He lauded the contribution the caf6 and the book store had made to the library. Mr. Herbert commented that whatever building was constructed, it should be built with future uses in mind. He explained that, as a former architect, he had witnessed buildings that he designed growing into new uses. Zachary ¥ishanoff, Patterson Street, said he provided a packet of information to the council. He questioned the necessity of new construction. He questioned the fairness with which contracts for construction were awarded. He opined that Eugene sought to be branded and this was being conducted quietly without citizen input. He alleged that the multiple-use property tax exemption (MUPTE) would wipe out low-income housing. He thought smart growth was a bi-product of the United Nations. Mayor Torrey closed the public hearing. Councilor Kelly thanked those who testified for the good information. He said the policy principles were scheduled for adoption at the work session scheduled for July 14. He suggested the council discuss the language and not finalize the wording. In particular, he wished to incorporate Ms. Cherry's suggestion that other transportation facilities be included in the language. Councilor Kelly concurred with those offering testimony regarding the promotion of mixed-use planning. He reiterated his interested in having a policy principle regarding the development of housing. Councilor Kelly asked why the LCSO did not prefer the 8th Avenue location that had been proposed for the
