THE "RESERVATION WAS THAT IF THE CHANGE WAS MADE THAT THE LOCAL INTERESTS WOULD HAVE TO BEAR THE COST OF CHANNEL WIDENING OR LINING 'TO PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL CAPACiTY NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE INCREASED FLOW EXPECTED FROM THE COMPLETED PROJEC T. e IT WAS EXPUAINED FURTHER fHAT A LETTER FROM THE ARMY ENGINEERS DATED JANUARY 31, 1955, REQUESTS A STATEMENT OF ASSURA~CE FROM THE CITY AND LANE COUNTY THAT THEY WILL JOINTLY COMPLETE THE SEC~ION IN THE FAIRGROUNDS TO OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY NECESSARY WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.

CONCESSION IN SKINNER'S BUTTE PARK FOR 1955 - THE MATTER OF PERMITTING A CONCESSION IN SKINNER'S BUTTE PARK FOR THE SUMMER OF 1955 WAS PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. IT IS THE FEELING OF THE COMMITTEE THAT THE CONCESSION SHOULD BE CONTINUED FOR 1955 IF IT CAN BE OPERATED AS AN ASSET TO THE PARK, AND THE COMMITTEE WAS IN AGREEMENT THAT THE CONCESSION WAS WELL OPERATED IN 1954. IT IS THEREFORE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE THAT A SIMILAR ARRANGEMENT BE MADE FOR THFS YEAR. e 5. USE OF INDOOR PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES - IT WAS EXPLAINED BY THE CITY MANAGER AND MR. MATSLER THAT A SITUATION HAS DEVELOPED IN THE USE OF INDOOR PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES THAT NEED COUNCIL POLICY FOR CLARIFICATION. THE SIWUATION. IS THE PRACTICE WHICH HAS DEVELOPED IN THE USE OF SUCH FACILITIES BY BUSINESS FIRMS, UNIONS AND OTHER GROUPS IN A COMMERCIAL OR BUSINESS WAY RATHER THAN FOR STR~CTLY RECREATIONAL, SOCIAL OR E DUC A T.I ONAL USE. I THE MATTER WAS ENLARGED UPON BY MR. MATSLER AND GIVEN FULL DISCUSSION BY THE COMMITTEE. As A RESULT IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE THAT THE USE OF CITY' INDOOR RECREATION FACILITIES BE RESERVED FOR AND LIMITED TO PUBLIC ~ECRiATIONAL, EDUCA- TIONAL, AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES ONLY AND THAT ADVANCE RESERVATIONS FOR:SUCH USES BE LIMITED TO ONE MEETING P-ER MONTH. THE FACILITIES MAY BE USED BY COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS ORGAN- IZATIONS AND OTHER GROUPS FOR THESE PURPOSES BUT ARE NOT TO BE USED 'FOR BUSINESS OR COMME,RCI AL ACTI VITI ES SUCH AS SALES MEETI NGS, BUSI NESS MEETI NGS, SALES ROOM DI SPLAYS, E T,~ C E TE R A ." IT WAS MOVED BY MR. KOPPE, SECONDED BY MR. BOOTH THAT THE REPORT OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY, HEALTH & RECREATION, AND PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE BE ADOPTED. MOTION CARRIED. 12 A PROGRESS REPORT OF THE ANTI-AIR POLLUTION COMMITTEE WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS: "THE,COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY MAYOR JOHNSON ON DECEMBER 13, 1954 TO STUDY THE AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM IN EUGENE WAS CHARGED WITH TWO DUTIES: .' I. To ST,UDY WAYS AND MEANS OF SECURING SOME IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM THE PROBLEM CAUSED PRIMARILY BY LUMBER MILLS IN THE NO~THWEST PART OF THE CITY. 2. To SUGGEST SOME OVERALL STANDARDS TO CONTROL AND REDUCE AIR POLLUTION IN THE CITY. THE COMMITTEE HAS HELD THREE MEETINGS, -HAS TOURED THE SAWMILL.ARE~ OF IMMEDIATE CONCERN AND HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH:THE STAFF OF THE STATE AIR POLLUTION AUTHORITY IN ASSEMBLING INFORMATION AND GAINING A BACKGROUND ON THE NATURE OF THE AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM. . I 'A REVIEW OF THE FALLOUT ST~TIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED IN EUGENE INDICATES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL IS BEING CARRIED THROUGH THE AIR J"NTO THE AREA FROM WHICH THE COUNCIL RECEIVED A PROTEST PETITION. CITI ZENS SIGNING THE PETITION LIVED PRIMARILY INTHE AREA BETWEEN WEST '6TH AND 11TH AND BETWEEN WEST GARFIELD AND JACKSON STREETS. SAMPLING CONDUCTED SINCE JANUARY 1954 AT TWO SAMPLING STATIONS IN THIS AREA OF IMMEDIATE CONCERN INDICATED A FALLOUT RANGING FROM 29 TO 97 TONS PER SQUARE MILE PER MONTH COMPARED WITH A FALLOUT RANGING FROM 6 TO 10 TONS PER SQUARE MILE PER MONTH AT A STATION AT CONDON SCHOOL DURING THE SAME PERIOD. THE STAFF OF THE'STATEAIR POLLUTION AUTHORITY HAS INDICATED THAT'NUISANCE CONDITI-ONS ARE GENERALLYCONSID~RED TO EXIST IF THE FALLOUT EXCEEDS 20 TO 25 TONS PER SQUARE MILE PER MONTH. A SUMMARY OF THE PARTICLE FALLOUT SAMP~ING IN EUGENE BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1952 AND NOVEMBER 1954 IS ATTACHED. e IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION, THE CITY MANAGER REQUESTED THE STAFF OF [HE STATE AIR POLLUTION AUTHORITY TO MAKE A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE SAWMILL AREA. THIS SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED ON 'JANUARY 4TH AND 5TH BY R. E. HATCHARD, CHIEF, AIR POLLUTION CONTROL AND H W. MERRYMAN, DISTRICT ENGINEER, OREGON STATE BOARD OF HEALTH. THE SUMMARY OF THIS SURVEY, SUBMITTED ON JANUARY 18TH, IS ATTACHED. IN REVIEWING THE SURVEY WITH MR. HATCHARD AND MR. MERRYMAN AT THE FEBRUARY 9TH COMMITTEE MEETING THESE FACTORS APPEARED TO BE OF PARTICULAR CONSEQUENCE: I. THERE ARE TEN LUMBER MI LLS WHI CH ARE SO L.OCA.TE'D THAT THE'Y WOULD AFFECT THE AREA WHI CH HAS COMPLAINED OF EXCESSIVE FALLOUT. 2. THERE ARE TEN OTHER MILLS IN WEST EUGENE WHICH ARE POSSIBLY AFFECTING OTHER AREAS. I 3. THE MILL REPRESENTATIVES CONTACTED HAVE INDICATED AN AWARENESS ~F THE PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN 'COOPERATI VE AND HELPFUL. 4. MILL WASTE BURNERS I N THE AREA. ARE, GENERALLY SPEAKI NG, I.N SATI SFACTORY CONDI TI ON AS FAR AS THEIR PRIMARY PURPOSE IS CONCERNED. HOWEVER, MILL WASTE BURNERS WERE NOT INTENDED AS AIR POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITIES BUT WERE DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE AN ENCLOSURE FOR BURNING WASTE WITHOUT CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. ANY REDUCTION IN AIR POLLUTION WITH A BURNER OVER OPEN BURNI NG, I F THERE I S A REDUCTION, I S NOT DUE TO CONSTRUCTION PRI NCI PLES WHI CH HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS END. e ..... r ~'\ ~r (-.... ,jDU ------- - ----- ----- - --.-~- - - .-.. --- .. ... . 5. A ~UMBER OF TH~ MILL OWNERS HAVE RECENTLY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE PRODUCTION OF MORE HOG FUEL WITH SUBSEQUENT REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL BEING BURNED. THESE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN SOME REDUCTION IN- AREA FALLOUT. THERE IS ALSO A MARKET FOR CLEAN SLAB FOR CONVERSION INTO CHIPS SO THAT SOME MI LLS NOW SEND PART OF T,HEI R WASTE TO CHIPPERS. 6. THE TEN MILLS IN THE AREA OF MOST IMMEDIATE CONCERN ARE SO CLOSE TOGETHER THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIB~E WITH THE PRESENT LIMITED AREA SAMPLING TO DETERMINE WHETHER PARTICULAR MILLS ARE CONTRIBUTING MOR~ TO THE PROBLEM THAN OTHERS. THE COMMITTEE, TO DATE, HAS CONCENTRATED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION TOWARD THE CORRECT.ION OF THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM REFLECTED IN THE CITI~ENS PETITION. THE SURVEY WHICH HAS BEEN OONDUCTED AND. THE NEW FACILITIES WHICH ~RE BEING INSTALLED BY SOME MILL OWNERS WILL NOT RESULT IN A COMPLETE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE STEPS, IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE COMMITTEE FEELS THAT THEIR NEXT CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOLUTION OF BOTH THE IMMEDIATE AND THE OVERALL PROBLEM'WILL BE TO ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS OF AIR POLLU- TION CONTROL. IT IPPEARS.DjFFICULT TO SUGGEST SPECIFIC STEPS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO TAKE TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR POLLUTION THEIR ACTIVITIES CREATE UNTIL SOME STANDARDS ARE ESTABLISHED SO THAT-THE INDIVIDUAL WILL KNOW HOW MUCH OF A REDUCTION HE WILL BE EXPECTED TO MAKE. MORE EXTENSIVE. SAMPLING AND RECORDS OF MILL CONDITIONS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT 'OF STANDARDS AND TO MORE CLEARLY ESTABLISH THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM SOURCES. THE COMMITTEE' THEREFORE RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION AS THE NEXT STEP: I. THAT THE CITY WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE STATE AIR POLLUTION AUTHORITY, COmTINUE TO COLLECT SAMPLES .PARTICULARLY IN',THE AREA PRESENTING AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM. THE SAMPLES SHOULD BE OF SUFFICIENT NUMBER TO INDICATE IMPROVEMENT, IF ANY, IN THE AREA,AND, TO'THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, TO EST~BLISH MORE"SPECIFICALLY THE INDIVIDUAL SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION. I 2. THAT THE CITY MAINTAIN A PERIODIC CHECK AND RECORD OF CHANGES IN MILL OPERATION AND SLAB AND SAWDUST DISPOSAL SO THAT SUCH CHANGES CAN BE CORRELATED WITH AREA SAMPLING RESULTS. IN VIEW OF THE .GENERAL RECOGNITION OF THE PROBLEM IN THE MILL AREA AND THE COOPERATIVE ATTITUDE, ,THERE IS REASON TO HOPE THAT THE MILL OPERATORS EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE REASONA~LE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE"THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION WITHOUT WAITING FOR FORMAL ESTABLISHMENT OF STANDARDS. WITH THE INAUGERATION OF SOME CITY STAFF WORK SO THAT THE BASIC STUDIES CURRENTLY CARRIED ENTIRELY BY THE STATE CAN BE EXPANDED, AND WITH CONTINUED COMMITTEE STUDY,-THERE IS EVERY REASON TO EXPECT THAT PROGRESS WILL BE MADE ON BOTH THE IMMEDIATE AND THE LONG RANGE PROGRAM OF ESTABLISHING A PROPER LEVEL OF AIR PURITY." IT WAS MOVED BY MR. BOOTH, SECONDED BY MR. KOPPE THAT THE PROGRESS REPORT OF THE ANTI-AIR POLLUTION COMM~TTEE BE 8ECEIVED AND PLACED ON FILE. MOTION CARRIED. REPORTS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS 13 A REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ApPEALS MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 9, 1955 - RE: REQUESTS OF MRS. E. MADSEN, MR~ WILLIAM NEWELL, AND MR. HENRY DODGE WERE SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS: "THE BOARD OF ApPEALS'.HELD A REGULAR MEETI NG AT THE CI TY HALL FEBRUARY 9, I ~55 CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING REQUESTS FOR WAIVER OR PROVISIONS OF THE ZONiNG ORDINANCE. PRESENT: MR. VAALER, MR. MORRIS, MR. MOYER, AND MR. BALZHISER. ' TO MEMBERS I. REQUEST OF MRS. E. MADSEN WHO OWNS PROPERTY AT 23 WEST 24TH AVENUE BEING THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF PORTLAND AND 24TH STREETS AND IS ZONED,AS SINGLE FAMILY WITH DUPLEX PROVISION FOR CORNER LOTS. MRS. MADSEN HAS REQUESTED PERMISSION TO CONSTRUCT A SEPARATE HOUSE ON THE REAR OF HER LOT IN LIEU OF ~ONVEATING THE EXISTING RESIDENCE TO A DUPLEX UNIT. THE PROPERTY IS 70 ,FEET BY 119 FEET IN DIMENSION AND 8,330 FEET IN AREA. ALLOWI~G A 30% COVERAGE OF LOT AREA WOULD ALLOW 2,499 SQUARE FEET OF BUILDING. AREA OF EXISTING BUILDING PLUS PROPOSED GUEST HOUSE WOULD EQUAL 2,194 SQUARE FEET; THEREFORE THE COVERAGE WOULD NOT EXCEED THE 30% ALLOWANCE. SINCE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN ELEVATION BETWEEN THE EXISTING RESIDENCE GROUND LEVEL AND THE AREA PROPOSED FOR THE GUEST HOUSE OF APPROXIMATELY FOUR FEET IT IS NOT TOO PRAC- TICAL TO CONNECT THE TWO BUILDINGS WITHOUT PUTTING THE ,GUEST HOUSE TOO HIGH ABOVE GRADE. THE BOARD AGREED THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN ELEVATION OF,THE LOT WOULD MAKE IT IMPRAC- TICAL TO DEVELOP A DUPLEX AND RETAIN THE ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER OF THE EXISTING BUILDING; ALSO THAT PROPERTY ~WNERS AT 22 AND 26 WEST 24TH STREET VOICED APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT AND AGREED IT WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE AREA. ALL SET BACKS WILL BE MAINTAINED. THE BOARD GRANTED THIS WAIVER AS REQUESTED. ~ e I .

WILLIAM NEWELL WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY AT 1432-1/2 VILLARD STREET HAS REQUESTED A VARIANCE Of THE SINGLE fAMILY PROVISION Of THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PERMIT THE ERECTION Of AN ADDIT)ONAL RESIDENC~ ON THE EASTERLY PORTION OF HIS LOT. THE PROPERTX IS 66.7 BY 160 fEET IN, DIMENSION AND CONTAINS 10,672 SQUARE fEET. THE DWELLING ON THE REAR Of THE LOT CONTAINS 792 SQUARE FEET AND IS SET BACK 5 fEET FROM THE ALLEY TO THE REAR. THE VARIANCE I,S REQUESTED BECAUSE THE SI ZE OF PRESENT DWELLING IS SUCH THAT THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS DEFINITELY LIMITED AND THE LOCATION OF THE SMALL DWELLING ON THE REAR LIMITS THE POSSIBILITY Of REMODELING INTO A LARGER DWELLING. THE LOT ADJOINING TO THE SOUTH AND THE SECOND LOT TO THE NORTH EACH HAVE TWO . SEPARATE DWELLINGS AND THERE ARE TO THE WEST ACROSS THE ALLEY, TWO DWELLINGS ON THE LOT. THESE UNITS WERE CONSTRUCTED DURING THE PERIOD 1945-1946. e THE BOARD REASONED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF ANOTHER RESIDENCE ON THE FRONT OF THE lOT WOULD,NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE AREA AND THE 30% COVERAGE LIMITATION FOR THE SINGLE fAMILY ZONE WOULD STILL LEAVE 7,470 SQUARE FEET OF LAND AREA. THE REQUEST WAS GRANTED. THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH HAVE BY LETTER GIVEN CONSENT TO THIS WAIVER. I THE BOARD VOICED FURTHER THOUGHT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA THAT PERHAPS MULTI PLE ZO~ING BE CONSIDERED FOR THE AREA. j, REQUEST FROM MR. HENRY DODGE WHO HAS APPLIED' FOR A BUILDING PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A RESIDENCE ON HIS PROPERTY AT 2360 COLUMBIA STREET. SAID PERMIT BEING DELAYED FOR CLAf- IFI~ATION Of SET BACKS. . MR. DODGE IS REQUESTING A WAIVER OF FIVE FEET OF THE REQUIRED CARPORT SET BACK OF TWENTY fEET FROM THE STREET PROPERTY LINE. DUE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY Of THE LAND, WHICH HAS A STEEP SLOPE TO THE REAR OF'THE LOT, A CONDITION WHICH MR. DODGE FEELS WOULD BE A HARDSHIP IN EXTRA COST FOR CONCRETE WALLS. e. STRUCTURES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY ARE CLOSER TO FRONT PROPERTY LINE THAN THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE AND"CARPORT. THE EXISTING SIDEWALK IS AT THE CURB WITH NO PARKING STRIP BETWEEN CURB AND WALK AS IS THE USUAL PLAN OF SIDEWALK LOCATION AND THIS CONDITION WOULD ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY Of A CAR EXTENDING OVER THE WALK; WITH A FIFTEEN FOOT SET BACK FROM PROPERTY LINE PLUS THE PUBLIC PARKING STRIP WHICH IS IN THE INSIDE OF THE SIDEWALK THERE WOULD BE A 26 FOOT SET BACK FROM THE SIDEWALK. THE BOARD AGREED THAT CIRCUMSTANCES SHOW A HARDSHIP CASE IN THIS I"NSTANCE AND GRANTED THE REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF 5 FEET Of THE REQUIRED SET BACK. I THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS MEETING WAS ADJOURNED." IT WAS MOVED BY MR. BOOTH, SECONDED BY MR. KOPPE THAT THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ApPEALS BE ADOPTED.
