December 27, 1971
Adjourned meeting of the Common Council of the city of Eugene Oregon was called to order by His Honor
Ma)'ior Lester E. Anderson, at 7:30 p.m. on December 27, 1971 in the Council Chamber, with the following
Councilmen present: Messrs. Teague and Mohr; Gribskov, Williams and Hershner; Mrs. Campbell. Mrs.
Beal and Mr. McDonald were absent.
" I. Public Hearings
"
I- A. Street Lighting, Mall Loop Streets (COnmllttee minutes of December 22, 1971) - Two studies
were made of lighting for streets surrounding the Mall area downtown. The project, which
was originally scheduled for completion two years ago, involves widening Charnel ton, Oak,
8th Avenue and a portion of lath. The Renewal Agency has made a recommendi:l,td.lon regarding
I' the level of li ghting and appearance of the li ght. Their recommendation was for high-level
lighting. e
Al Williams, Traffic Engineer, outlined drawings and explained the various levels and
intensities of lights, and the advantages of each. He explained the differences in cost
of lighting, and reasons the staff favored higher intensity lighting. He said many
merchants and their employes had expressed dissatisfaction with the level of present lighting
and expressed fears for safety" in certain areas.
Councilwoman Beal felt there were conflicting problems - that of need for more light and I
concern for aesthetics.
::
Councilman Mohr asked if the issue was traffic or safety, and what specific complaints had
been lodged. Dave HutJ.:b. of the Renewal Agency said merchants and their employes who have
to walk out of the mall leaving- work feel unsafe, and some incidents have occurred. The
i ~ Agency had tried itself to provide better lighting in alleys and parking lots.
Mrs. Beal asked if anyone had looked at these plans aesthetically. In answer to Mrs.
Beal's question, Mr. Hunt said the Mall Arts COnmllttee had not been consulted, and had
not expressed interest in anything except bettering the art of the city.
Mrs. Beal felt there should be citizen input dealing with urban aesthetics and moved
that Council discuss whether or not this should go before the Mall Arts Comndttee or
whether a new cOnmllttee should be created that would deal with such matters as urban
aes theti cs .
Mayor Anderson commented that the question was whether or not the Council felt increased
lighting was necessary for security. After this was resolved, the aesthetics eould be
,I considered.
Mr. John Reynolds, architect and Associate Professor of Architecture, commented on the
suggested lighting, and suggested that if security was the problem, more police should
be assigned to the downtown area, rather than putting money into 60' high poles. He I
showed slides illustrating various lighting arrangements in segments of the city and
their illuminating effect.
There was Council discussion whether adequate lighting could be achieved with shorter
poles and whether there was not a sof~er illumination available.
Fuller Moor~ architect, agreed with Mr. Reynold's comments, and said he had found the
high level lighting on 14th Avenue very objectionable. e
Wendy Ray, Radio CommentatQ~, suggested that the demand for electrical power and the
expected shortage of electricity should be considered.
Mrs. Beal felt it had been well demonstrated that intensity of light presented an
aesthetic problem, and that problems other than that of security should be considered.
Councilman Williams asked if it was possible to develop a third alternative using lower
level light with a warmer quality.
City Manager remarked regarding security, that there is without question a correlatIon
between lighting and security, and that the city administration feels high level lighting
is needed from a security standpoint in the entire downtown area. Regarding aesthetics,
the Renewal Agency had relied on the expertise of its landscape architects who were respon-
sible for development of aesthetics in the Mall. Their recommendation is for the high
level lighting. I
Mrs. Beal felt a conmllttee might work with staff and come up with a recommendation which
would satisfy public interest and take technical advice from staff. She moved that the
Mayor appoint a cOnmllttee of the Council to work wi th groups that have expressed interest
in this project and with the staff.
Motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to ask staff to apprise Council of any other e
alternatives, if they exist, and some idea of what the cost would be of doing it another

I and secondly I have Mitche~l and McArthur appear and explain reasons for recommending this
particular system. Motion carried.
Discussion continued at this meeting as follows:
At the committee meeting Councilmen had requested a report on alternative lighting plans.
Staff has had insufficient time for a written report, but because of the urgency of
proceeding before the summer season, individuals were present to make a presentation
of al ternati ves.
City Manager asked to clarify a misconception of a statement made at the committee meeting.
Mr. Mitchell of Mitchell and McArthur was not the lighting expert, but was the design
consultant for the entire mall project and peripheral streets. The plan for high level
lighting has the firm's approval.
e Mr. Hugh Mitchell of Mitchell and McArthur delineated a sketch of trees now in the mall,
trees to be IIDved and those to be planted, and the relationship to the number of light
standards.
Al Williams, Traffic Engineer, circulated sheets to Councilmen showing four alternative
plans and colored maps indicating light spread. He explained the material, size of poles,
color and intensity of light used on high level poles. He outlined the other alternatives,
I and cost of installation and use of each.
" John Rutledge, representing the Chief of Police, said patrolmen who work this area have
!; identified problems with the lighting, particularly the west side of the mall, and
most of the alleyways. There has been a great deal of public reattion to the lack of
good lighting. The Police Department feels there is a strong correlation between good
;1 lighting and the amount of crime committed. If the lighting could be improved on the
west side, there is no question there would be less trouble.
Mr. Bob Thbmas, speaking for the Renewal Agency, commented on coverage by different
types and heights of lights. He said the Renewal Agency felt the high level standards
would be more attractive than a large number with mast arms which add to street clutter.
The smaller number of poles would allow greater flexibility.
Mr. Mitchell said his firm had made an earlier presentation showing a 20' light pole.
They were requested to work with EWEB and the city on recommendations for a different
l~ght level. He said the original plan had called for a great number of poles per
block, and it still would not do the job. Elimination of these poles had worked to
,I their advantage, and they were able to provide more plantings and street furniture. The
light level will be broken by trees.
Councilman Williams questioned the difference between the types of fixtures. He said
his intent in making his former motion was to develop a third type lighting, which he
hoped would be incandescent, rather than mercury vapor.
I Traffic Engineer said he had misunderstood the intent of the motion. He explained that
mercury vapor lights have been proven the best type of lighting for both residential
and central business districts. 'There has been a recent change ,to metal alloy, but
the difference is based on the efficiency of the fixture.
II
I' Mr. Dick Schimmel, speaking in behalf of the Eugene Downtown Association, said they
"
"
have gone on record in favor of the high level lighting. They feel they should have
e I; as much light as possible around the perimeter of the mall area. Many people have expressed
concern over darkness around the area of the mall.
,I
"
George Boenke, 3120 Agate, said people have complained that the parking lots are very
poorly lit, and that the mall itself is not well-lighted. If the periphery is not
lighted, people will not bring their cars downtown.
Mr. Wayne Lonsdorff, manager of the Bon Marche, said the intensity of lighting downtown
was of universal concern. Senior citizens were especially concerned, since many of them
live in the downtown area, and are generally walkers.
John Reynolds explained that he had used a light meter while coming into the meeting
,: to measure the number of foot candles there were in this area. He felt this was a
,
1
,I sufficient amount of light, even though very much less than proposed for the periphery
of the mall. The problem seemed to center around dark alleys and parking lots, and
lighting the streets would in no way improve this situation. He advocated a larger
I number of lower poles, and suggested that security lights be installed on buildings in
the alleys.
Mr. Otto Poticha, architect, said he agreed with Mr. Reynolds. He felt light should be
scaled to man and that this area did not call for highway lighting.
Mr. Max Upshaw, architect, did not feel the 60' tower would be as efficient as a number
of lower poles.
e Mr. Alan Seder, architect, said Eugene was not a city of tall buildings, and 60'

" poles would be as high as a five story building.
"
Manager pointed out that the streets being discussed are peripheral streets, designed
for cars, and the lighting should be considered in that regard, with consideration for
additional lighting of alleys and parking lots.
In answer to Mr. Teague, Manager said there will be consiclerable light going into alleys
from the 60' poles. Other lighting will be added as required. The parking lots are
temporary facilities.
Mr. Williams asked whether the number of lights per pole could be reduced, and what the
impact would be on the light level. If more light was required in the future, coul<f.
additiQnal lights be added? Traffic Engineer said the number had been reduced, and that
additional lights could be added. He could not answer what the cost factor would be.
Mrs. Campbell said she had become convin'ced more light was pretty important. She person-
ally favored the idea of less light in the downtown, but could see the importance of e
the high level lights on the periphery.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to accept the recommendation of the administration
and approve Plan No. 1 for high level lights. Motion carried unanimously.

2. Zone Change Not Recommended
a) Howard Gibsonr, northeast corner 40th and Donald, R-l to C-l
Mr. Howard Gibson had requested this rezoning to allow a small grocery store
on the corner. Planning Commission had not felt rezoning would be proper.
I Mr. Howard Gibson, Junction City, asked to appeal the Planning Commission rec-
commendation. He said the property was no longer usable as residential, since
there were service stations and other commercial outlets in the area. He
explained plans for the building and that it would be screened from other
residences in the area. He said they had no intention to use the property
for other than a Dari-Mart store.
Phyllis Early, 3945 Mill Street, said requests had been made since 1968 to
rezone this ]T'operty. Residents of the neighborhood felt there,was plenty
of commercial property in the area and that similar lots across the street have I
recently been developed with duplexes.
" Mrs. Betty Niven said the Planning Commission was not happy about large commercial
,I
areas in single ownership, but the present trend is to such establishments.
The Planning Commission had not felt commercial zoning would be compatible
" with surrounding residential uses.
Mr. Mohr felt Mr. Gibson I s case had been well argued, and reminded the Council
that he had requested a brief from the city attorney regarding city authority e
with respect to zone changes.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to uphold the Planning Commission recommen-
dation and deny the appeal of Mr. Gibson. Motion carried.
I, Mr. Hershner 'abstained from voting.

This bid was held over from the meeting of November 22 at the request of Mr. Ri ch ard
Freeman, who owns the majority of the properry which was petitioned for improvement. He
said his neighbor had failed to receive notification in sufficient time, and was not sure
he could afford the improvement at this time. Council agreed at that meeting to hold
over to give the property owner an opportunity to appear.
Public Works Director said there were three bidders on the project, with the low bid by
Fred StUbbert in the amount of $4,859.64. There was a 60% petition on the project, of e
which Mr. Freeman controls 40%.

I II Mr. Richard Freeman, 1140 West 6th, said he had requested a delay to accommodate his
neighbor, but in the meantime he had come to a different conclusion himself. He now
felt he was financially unable to go ahead with the project, and asked for postponement
until some time in the future.
Bob Saxton, 638 Van Buren, said he was unaware of this petition and appreciated the
opportunity to appear. He said this project would hurt him at the present time, and
he did not feel in a position to bancroft until he was sure of the nations economic
policy.
Manager explained that, if the project is tabled, it will have to be rebid at a future
time.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that this item be tabled. Motion carried.
D. Abatement of Dangerous Building
e The building for which abatement is requested is located at 411 East 3rd Avenue. Notice
:: has been sent to the property owner that this building should be considered for abatement
I'
" because it is considered aangerous to the public. Manager read a letter from the Building
"
Superintendent which outlined the condition of the building and why it was considered
dangerous.
Mr. Charles Potterf, 420 East 3rd, said he is right across the street from this building
I it and has been very concerned about its condition. He passed pictures of the building
to the Council, which demonstrated its condition, and said that these were formerly
wonderful buildings, but had been allowed to deteriorate terribly. He felt they should
definitely be torn down.
Andy Anderson, owner of the Bavarian, agreed with Mr. Potterf, and said the buildings
had been a constant problem to the neighborhood.

F. Lane County Auditorium Financing Plan, How to Present to People - Lee Bishop, president I
12/15/71 of Lane County Auditorium Association, said a public opinion poll had recently been
completed by Richard Kennedy and Associates, for Lane County Audi tori um Assn. He
introduced Mr. Richard Kennedy who distributed a summary report recently compiled from
the public opinion poll. The full report will be made available at a later date. The
survey was of registered voters of the city of Eugene, taken in November. He outlined
the report, and results gathered from the poll.
I'
ti
" Councilmen queried Mr. Kennedy about questions asked, how they were framed,
I and what
I, the results might have been had the questions been framed in another manner.
!'
'i
Mr. Bishop explained that the City and County had jointly employed Mr. Jack Jarvis to
make an economic impact study.
Mr. Jack Jarvis explained the economic survey conducted by his firm in terms of devel-
opment feasibility determination, economic impact feasibility determination, employ-
ment impact determination and general effect on the downtown core. The study had shown
that present parking supply is inadequate, there is no shortage of convention centers,
II and the auditorium-recital portion of the complex would be self-supporting. The study
showed that the center should be devoted to concern hall, recital, theatre and meeting
rooms, wi th the possibili ty of expanding in the future to the pavilion type convention
center proposed.
Councilmen questioned Mr. Jarvis about the economic feasibility of alternative sites, I
and whether the center could be self-supporting with the subsidy from the room tax fund.
The study considered only the downtown site, and Mr. Jarvis felt that the convention
portion would not be used sufficiently, and would become a financial drain.
Mr. Williams expressed concern with this statement, since a previous report from the
Auditorium Association had left just the opposite impression. Mr. Jarvis could not
explain the previous report.
Mr. Ted Baker said a financial seminar had been conducted, and that the unanimous con- e
elusion had been to seek a bond issue before proceeding wi th pri vate financing, and that
the amount co be expended be kept under $10,000,000. The Association felt the Council
should take action and place this issue before the people.
Mr. Bishop commented that EWEB might be receiving $300,000 per year from operation of the
Trojan Nuclear Plant, and proposed that this amount be allocated to the Auditorium
Convention facility to retire the bond issue. File
Ii G. Civil Service Commission, Status - Manager explained that the section of the new code
;! 12/15/71 which spelled out the responsibilities of the Civil Service commission had been deleted
;. because of uncertainty regarding its responsibilities under collective bargaining
il procedures. Firefighters, in negotiating, have requested that sections of the old
':
, code dealing with these responsibilities be inserted into the new code. Staff feels
this is inappropriate, at this time, because negotiations are presently in process with
firefighters and police benefi t association for determination of new contracts. It is I
staff belief that the old code is inappropriate because many of the areas of responsi-
bility of the old Civil Service COrrmllss~on have been assumed in collective bargaining.
No action taken or required. File
" H. Request for City Attorney Research Regarding Requirement for Public Hearings - Manager
:; 12/15/71 explained that Mr. Mohr's request had generated a great deal more research than anti-
cipated. It has become apparent that a great number of public hearings are held as a
matter of policy, rather than legal requirements, and it is suggested that perhaps an e

Mr. Mahr said there is no. time between the time plans are accepted and can tracts
actually signed far the public to. make camments. Pracedures are needed to. allaw

the impact study and voice an apinion.

" hearing, and asked Cauncilman Mahr if he was prapasing a separate hearing where anly
I 'I
the enviranment wauld be cansidered. Cauncilman Mahr said he envisians a particular
" hearing an the enviranmental impact af these prajects.

There was further discussian cancerning use far such hearings, what they might accaml'fF
plish, and what prajects might require such hearings. It was felt such hearings might
duplicate federal pragrams, and it might be well to. cansider some way to. pro. vi de 'input

I Mayar Andersan was in sympathy with the thrust af the prapasal, but felt there were "
complicatians in the administrative machinery, and that delay wauld be caused to.
peaple who. came to. the ci ty far servi ce. He felt perhaps some distinctian cauld be
made at ,staff level which might alleviate redundant pracedures.
Manager was cancerned abaut the scape af the prapasal, and suggested perhaps the warding
cauld be changed sa that prapased prajects, rather than actions, cauld be cansidered.

;; Subsequently, provision was made for ground level commercial space, which was built by Nils Hult. I
Lawsuits regarding legality of this proposal and assessment formulas resulted in increased costs
over the original estimates. Another court decision excluded property originally included in the
assessment which had to be reassessed and spread over the other property. The proposed assessment
is the actual cost of construc~ion, exclusive of the ground floor area, plus the $86,000 assessment
excluded by the court decision, plus some minor adjus~ments for changes in square footage. This
resolution would inform property owners involved of the corrective assessment and a public hearing
thereon and allow sale of bancroft bonds to finance the fac ili ty.

ment present voting aye, the resolution was adopted.
