a. Eugene Mission - East side of Bethel Drive, north of Pershing Street, R-3G to C3P and
Mission location - The Planning Commission approved the recommendation from the Mayor's
Mission Study Committee that the proposed location of the Mission on Bethel Drive north
of Pershing Street and adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way be approved.
Mr. Chatt moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to tentatively approve the location of the Mission
I and refer the matter of the zone change back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Wiswall,
attorney, stated his clients felt there had not been sufficient time given to hearing
arguments of people living in the area concerning the location of the Mission and also
on the change of zone needed to permit the Mission in this area. Dean Haley, member of the
study committee stated the proposed location of the Mission would not aggravate the tran-
sient problem in the area. The problem is already there. Question was called for and
the motion carried.
Mr. Chatt moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to approve the committee action. On call for discussion,
Mr. Wiswall, attorney representing residents of the Bethel Drive area presented an opposing petition
bearing several hundred names. Mr. Wiswall stated he also has several letters and communications
objecting to the proposed location. Mr. W~swall pointed out that the proposed location would be un-
duly detrimental to the residents in the area. He further stated that his'int~rptetation~of'the' ioning
tode'.would indicate that the Mission should be located in the downtown area. Mr. Wiswall also suggested
the Mesman property which is close to the Southern Pacific yards and which could be purchased for a
Mission site. Other people speaking in opposition to the proposed location were Mr. John Myers,
Mr. Tom Putnam, Mr. John Foskett, Mrs. Duncan, Carol Hepner, Miles Salgado and Mrs. Johnson.
Mr. Al Wysong, chairman of the study committee and Mr. Dean Haley stated that the committee had spent
considerable time in checking possible sites for the Mission and had used the criteria for the location
according to the instructions of the study on the movements of the transient male in the Eugene area.
Mr. Jack Gossard of the Eugene Mission said that the proposed site is very workable and he considers
the proposed location a good solution to the problem. After much discussion and questions to the council
and to members of the audience, ,g'.motion'was made by Mr. Chatt seconded by Mr. Anderson to amend the
I original motion to have the committee check the possiblities of the Mesman property. Motion on the
amendment carried. The question was called for on the original motion as amended. Motion carried with
Dr. Purdy voting no.
4 5. Sign Variance Requests, 18th & Chambers - Gibson and Spiecker - The members of the council
viewed the area and requested additional information. A motion made by Dr. Purdy and seconded
by Mr. Chatt was withdrawn which would have allowed variances of the two requests to be approved
subject to limitation of the size of the signs.
e As further information to the council the City Manager explained that the size of the Dari-Delite sign
was approximately 42 square feet per side. That the variance granted to Dari-Delite would have allowed
them a sign up to a maximum of 60 square feet per side. Both Mr. Gibson of Lochmead Dairy and Mr. ~
Spiecher of Taco Villa spoke in behalf of their sign variance requests. Mr. Cpristensen of Christensen's
Pharmacy on West 18th Avenue also spoke in favor of allowing the signs to be erected. After further
discussion Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mr. Chatt to grant both variances with the stipulation that
the signs be place so that they do not project over the street right-of-way and are to be non-revolving
signs.
