Public Hearings
A. Assessments
Conncil Bills Nos. 9555 through 9560 levying assessments for various paving and sewer projects
were heard and approved. (See action on pa.ge~:: ;:~~9 _~~-tn~~miD1}~e~;un~~'_or~inances. )
B. Appeal from Planned Unit Development, Sunshine Acres, Cooley/DeBUsk
A letter from James DeBusk, 15009 S. E.Mill, Portland, Oregon, was read appealing to the
Council for reversal of the Planning Commission's approval of the Sunshine Acres PUD. He
wrote' that the planned unit development left no access to the rear of his property which
fronts on Harlow Road. The Planning Director showed slides of the PUD and explained it is
the Planning staff's feeling that Mr. DeBusk and his neighbor can develop their properties
through subdivision or PUD and provide their own interior roads.

Wallace Clark, representing William. Neel, designer of the PUD, 241 East Broadway, showed
drawings of the project and explained that they tried to avoid a through street inasmuch
as the only users would be residents ,of the p~oject~ It would require a major design
change if access is required to the back of the two properties facing on Harlow Road
because of the planned 6- to 15-foot buffer bordering the two lots.
I
Mr. Mohr asked if there were grounds for the appeal based on the ordinance governing PUDS.
The Planning Director answered that technically there were none, it might be considered
a borderline case.
Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to deny the appeal on the basis that there is no substantial ~~~
reason for accepting it based on the conditions of planned unit developments as specified by
ordinance.
Councilman McDonald asked if Mr. DeBusk was notified of the hearing, and was told a
letter was written to him on January 18, 1972 to his Portland address.
A vote was taken on the motion to deny the appeal, and motion carried unanimously.
C. Abatements
1. 431 East 3rd (Cliff Shirley-Universal Developers) - The Building Department reported
they were unable to secure rehabilitation or removal; the building is not suitable
for occupancy and utilities were disconnected in 1971; complaints have been received
from neighboring residents.
Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the structure at 431 East 3rd be declared a dangerous
building and abatement authorized. Motion carried unanimously. (See actmon on page 2i~of these
" '.'-
minutes under Resolution 2002.)
I
2. 631 West' 11th (John Skillern-Ed~ard Mansell) - The Building Department report was
noted with regard to portion of structure still standing and its dangerous condition.
Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to authorize abatement of the building at 631 West 11th Avenue
Motion carried unanimously. (See action on page ~tl~:of these minutes under Resolution 2003.)
-
D. Nightwatchman Trailer, 460 North Danebo Road - A Building Department report indicates
nightwatchman services are desirable for this building (Danebo Parts and Equipment)
located in an industrial zone. Connection of a mobile home would not be detrimental
to surrounding properties.
Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Baal to grant a revocable permit allowing the mobile home for
nightwatchman living quarters at 460 North Danebo Road. Motion carried unanimously. (See action
on page ~~these minutes under Resolution 2004.)
E. Zoning Hearings Official, Conditional Use Permits (Planning Commission Report January 10,
1972) - The Planning Commission recommended that the Council consider use of zoning
hearings official concept as it relates to conditional use permits. The City Manager
suggested any action at this time be preliminary in nature because there are no funds
budgeted, and to allow staff work to develop the possibility.
James Pearson, president of the Planning Commission, explained that the Planning Commis-
sion is spending more and more time on zoning and administration in addition to many
extra meetings with other agencies, leaving too little time for actual planning work.
He said the Commission feels the administrative workings can be handled by another body
or another person where there still would be due process and hearings comparable to the
present situation with the Planning Commission, yet not involving the Planning Commission.
Based on experience of other communities and presuming criteria is precise, use of a
zoning hearings officer appears to be an appropriate way of handling conditional use
permits. He outlined the general tentative procedure the Commission would like to see

followed, eliminating applicants' presentation in full to the Planning Commission,but
providing for appeal from the hearings officer's decisions to the Planning Commission,
and going directly from the Planning Commission to the courts. The Commission is
talking now only of conditional use permits, but would consider at some future
time including in the officer's duties hearings on planned unit developments. At
the present time the Commission is making this tentative proposition with the in-
tent of going ahead with preliminary examination in order to get the process
started at the first opportunity, and to get the feeling of the Council members
to see if they feel the idea should be pursued.
Councilman Williams asked what procedure would be provided should there be an ap-
peal when a conditional use permit has been allowed rather than denied, and how
many conditional use permits are processed in a given time. He also asked whether
p~passing the Council and having hearings before only the officer and the Planning
Commission before going to the courts assumes the laws as written are not as they
should be.
e
I
Mr. Pearson said appeals on the issuance of permits, granted or denied, would be
from the hearings officer to the Planning Commission on the same basis on which
they now go from the Planning Commission to the Council. Hopefully, before im-
plementation,illf the procedure is adopted, evaluation and improvement of the hear-
ings ordinance would provide more specific criteria concerning granting of permits.
He said that removing hearings from the law-making body is perhaps a good thing;
issues would be heard on the merits of the case rather than on any political con-
sideration. The procedure assumes a set of criteria in the ordinance which are
extremely good. He said that he does not know of any instance in which the
Council had reversed a Planning Commission decision on conditional use permits.
The Planning Director said conditional use permit hearings average about 45 a
year; 70-75% approved, 10% appealed.
Councilman Mohr suggested that the mechanism for establishing administrative
hearings before either the Planning Commission or the Council be embodied in the
research of the proposed legal intern who, if employed, will explore legal re-
quirements on public hearings in general. When that instrument is prepared, policy
on hearings can be made.
Mrs. Beal remarked it would be well to include the question with the intern's
research, if it didn't take too long; however, the Planning Commission is sug-
gesting this hearing procedure because of the work load, and action is needed
as quickly as possible to relieve them of some of the administrative work and
allow their time to be spent on actual planning.
Councilman McDonald agreed with Mrs. Beal's comment with regard to the time
element and work load, and said he feels Planning Commission appointments and
procedures should be examined with the idea that the community is growing beyond
the need for a Planning Commission only.
I
Mayor Anderson replied he would not attempt to delineate duties of Planning Com-
mission members but does believe the City has been fortunate in having so many
competent citizens willing to spend so much time and effort as members of the Com-
mission without compensation. He said he feels it is encumbeat upon the Council
to make possible more time for the Commission to spepd on planning duties rather
than administrative; he favors the concept of hearings officer as presented and
recommended the staff be directed to bring back an ordinance to cover including
arrangements for funding.
e
b;1rl Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the staff be csked to prepare an ordinance embodying
the concept of an administrative officer for hearings on conditional use permits which come
before the Planning Commission, together with estimate of costs involved. Motion carried
unanimously. '
F. Code Amendments
1. Definition "Group Care Homes" - Planning commi$sion Report December 14, 1971.
The Planning Commission recommended amending Section 9.254 of the Eugene City
Code concerning definition of group care homes to read: "Sha11 mean any home
or pri vate insti tution maintained and opei1la.Eed for the care, boarding, housing,
and training of four (4) or more physically, mentally, or socially handicapped
persons or delinquent or dependent persons by any person who is not the parent
or guardian of and who is not related by blood, marriage or legal adoption to
such persons."
I
The Planning Director explained the amendment as a housekeeping measure sug-
gested by the attorney' s office in order to eliminate use of condi tiona1 use
permi ts for many group care proposals; it permi ts group care homes whi ch have
persons over 18 years of age in residential districts.

The proposed definition was read, and the Planning Director said the City Attorney ad-
vised this type language would allow work release and various other programs without
having to use a catchall clause allowing use under conditmenal permits for group
c~re homes. (See action on pag~tg' of these minutes under Council Bill 9573,Ordinances.)

2. R-4 District Uses, Commercial Zoning - Planning COnmllssion Report January 10, 1972.
The Planning COnmllssion recommended amendment to Section 9.382 of the City Code
to allow certain uses under conditional pernrit - barber and beauty shops; delica-
tessens; grocery stores; professional offices for accountants, attorneys, physi-
cians, osteopaths, dentists, optometrists, opticians, chiropractors, and other
state licensees practicing healing arts; and restaurants, except drive-in or
walk-up. The amendment also sets criteria to be utilized in permitting the
conditional uses.

Mr. Williams questioned the exclusion of walk-up restaurants, and was informed no
eating is allowed inside the building for a walk-up restaurant; problems result-
ing from food being eaten outside was the reason for exclusion from uses.
Mr. Hershner questioned the requirement that commercial uses must be in con-
junction with residential uses except on very small lots, asking if it is neces-
sary to make the combination mandatory. The Planning Director said the R-4
zone is basically for housing, but it is felt certain commercial uses should be
pro vi ded.
e
Mr. Williams asked about leeway in granting the conditional permit should a lot
be a fraction smaller or larger than the 6000 square feet designated. Planning
Director ex plained appeals on size of lot would go to the Zoning Board of Ap-
peals and their action would depend on what is presented and cri teriaof variance
procedure. '
Further discussion followed with regard to mandatory combination of commercial
uses with residential uses on small lots, with understanding a decision on' adoption
of the amendment would be in form of a public hearing at the January 24, 1972
Council meeting.

Mr. Williams asked with regard to conditional use permits for non-conforming uses in
R-4 zones whether physicians' offices permitted as an outright use would be permitted
to continue. He said he feels it is important and should be answered before the
ordinance is adopted. The Planning Director said there is no phase-out scheduled; no
specific answer so the attorney's opinion would have to prevail. Mr. Pearson said he
feels the uses referred to are not non-conforming uses, rather they are conditional
uses, and would continue as such with no phasing out intended. But if any expansion
is requested, the hearing procedure would have to be followed and a conditional use
permit obtained. The purpose of the amendment is to inject vertical zoning into the
ordinance.
Mr. Otto Poticha, architect, said he feels it appropriate if R-4 zones are to take con-
ditional medical uses, that the hospital area should be zoned the same way, and that
medical oriented facilities were permitted as an outright use when the hospital
project was started. He wondered why architects' offices were not included in the
uses permitted under the amendment. (See action on page 1..9 underC.B.9574, Ordinances.)
G. Street Name Change - North Shasta Loop (Planning CommissimReport December 13, 1971)
The Planning COnmllssion recommended denial of request to change the name of
this street located east of East Amazon connecting the south end of Agate
Street with East 43rd. A majority of the people with residences on that
street and using that address object to any change.
I
Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to sustain the Planning Commission's recom-
mendation (no change). Motion carried unanimously.

3. portion Dillard Road at Snell, Gary Parks (Planning COnmllssion Report Decem-
ber 28, 1971) - The Planning COnmllssion recommended approval of vacation of
this area bordering on an annexation which the Boundary COnmllssion has ordered
and which will come into the City unless there is an appeal.
I
Mr. Williams said it appears that traffic congestion would result since the
property lies at the junction of the two streets; he asked if the value of the
property to be vacated has been est,Eililished. Public Works Director explained
the property is unimproved and vacation would actually improve the traffic situa-
tion since it would allow a 90ltdegree intersection instead of the wide "y" type
which now exists. He said there has been no appraisal of value.

Planning Director said the vacation is required as a part of platting.
Mr. Teague questioned the value to the City of the area proposed for vaca-
tion as a small park or playground, saying it seemed to be a sizeable piece
of property to be deeding into pri vate ownership. Staff explained no value
would accrue to adjacent property, since lots were already created and improved.
Manager said maintenance of property alone would be more of a liability than use
of the land; it is not large enough for a recreational area and if ownership is
retained it would have to be landscaped and maintained as a landscaped area.
Also, there is the possibility of assessments for any future improvements
which would have to be assumed by the City since lots are now separated from
the street by this ownership.
Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to have the property appraised before
action is taken on the vacation request.
e
Upon question from the Manager, it was agreed an informal appraisal by City
staff would be sufficient rather than requesting a formal appraisal.
A vote was taken on the motion, and motion carried.
I
Mr. Williams commented that since the staff already said the property is
worthless, it would seem a staff appraisal would be no different than the
recommendation to vacate. Manager said the staff does not feel it is
"worthless," only that it is of no value to the City. Further discussion
followed wi th regard to value of land proposed for dedication to pri vate use
with general agreement additional information would be of benefit. The Manager
said an appraisal would give the square foot value of the land, and Mayor re-
marked it would also give some comparison to benefi t the City would be re-
ceiving from the vacation in not having to maintain the property. (See gction

4. Portion of Easement, Lot 11, Block 4, 1st Addition to Cow Palace (Jeppeson
Acres Road west of Norkenzie), Barker {Planning COnmllssion Report December 28,
1971 - The Planning Director explained construction of a building encroached
upon the easement. When the property was platted requirements for utilities
were not complete and it was felt there would be future need for the easement.
Planning COnmllssion recommended vacation of that portion upon which the build-
ing was constructed. (See action page 20 these minutes under C.B.9578,

5. Easement near Hawthorne between Fairfield and Baxter, excluding south
25 feet, Sorgenfri - Planning COnmllssion Report December 28, 1971 -
Planning Director explained additional easement was considered necessary for
storm sewer construction, but since a culvert was instal~ed the extra width
will not be needed. The additional property would provide land for a build-
ing project. The south 25 feet is being retained for utilities, and a 20-foot
easement remains on the west. (See action page 20 these minutes under C.B.

for desired lighting level of 3.8 footcandles. He said the Eugene Downtown Associa-
tion favored a 3. 8 ,f.oo_~_<?~m3.:Le lighting level, together with poles that will tie in

On questian fram Mr. Hershner, the Manager explained cast af installatian is barne by EWEB
and amartized aver a periad af time; cast af pawer and maintenance barne by Ci ty.
Mrs. Campbell asked which af the tabulated plans matched thase farmerly presented by
Otto. Paticha, architect, who. pratested installatian af the 60-faat pales called far
in Plan I; she was tald Plans IX thraugh XII. Manager also. canfirmed that the Eugene
Renewal Agency wauld nat pay any af the cast. He said if samething ather than the
plan recammended by staff is decided upan, it wauld be desirable to. ask the cansul ting
designers far the mall and the Renewal Agency to. bring anather prapasal to. the Cauncil.
Mr. Mahr said it was his understanding that Plan I was the architects' recammendatian.
Mrs. Campbell understaad there was an alternate plan submi tted. Cauncilman Williams
said he had discussed the lighting with Hugh Mitchell, mall design architect, and faund
the light level desired wauld deterndne the installatian - if 3.8 faatcandle require-
ments,' then 60-faat pales with metal halide fixtures wauld be apprapriate.
Mr. Mahr restated the administratian' s request that if the recammendatian is changed,
the mall architects wauld be asked to. prepare a new plan based an carefully prescribed
specificatians.
Mr. Williams said he naw feels there is no. ather practical caurse to. pursue, cansidering
the light level desired, trees in the area, ecanamics, etc. He moved secanded by Mr.
Hershner to. reaffirm ari ginal Cauncil decisian to. install the 60-faat pales wi th metal
halide lights.
Otto. Paticha, architect, distributed coPies af testimony to. Cauncil members to. suppart
his views far lawer pales and incandescent lighting. He cammented an the staff's
recammen dati ans , saying there was no. technical data presented supparting the design
cri teria recammended, and generally discussed factars inval ved in selecting the praper
lighting design. He asked that perfarmance criteria be established and referred back
to. the archi tects to. have a lighting cansul tant prepare a design far the light.fix-
tures. Mr. Paticha also. felt since the Renewal Agency has paid far ather lights, trees,
street impravements in the dawntawn area, it wauld be passible to. ask HUD to. include the
cast af these light fixtures.
Mrs. Campbell asked David Hunt, Renewal Agency directar, to. camment an paying the cast,
and Mr. Hunt explained that Federal reguJatians prahibi t this expense because the mall
lighting is nat cansidered narmal street lighting.
Charles Patterf, 420 East 3rd Avenue, pratested the methad af financing the praject.
He feels the cas,'(;: shauld nat be at taxpayers expense.
Ray Wiley, engineer far Breeden Bras." shawed Caunci 1 members pi ctures he had af the
60-faat pale lighting an the 14th Avenue praject, and said when faliage is an trees
this type af lighting results in a severe light/dark cantrast. In answer to. Mr.Mahr's
remark that a questiannaire distributed by EWEB in the 14th Avenue area determined the
lighting was accepted by the neighbarhaad, Mr. Wiley said'he felt the questiannaire
was no. mare than a summary showingappraval af the praject rather than appraval af
1wight level.
Rachel Starr, graduate student fram the University af Oregan, said the questiannaire
gave no. aptians far answers; questian submi tted w.as "da yau apprave" rather than "what
is yaur apinian."
Mrs. Campbell asked Parks Directar Smi th to. camment an trees, in _ relatian to. the number
af poles required by the plans; she was infarmed his department was nat invalved in
the des i gn -.
Mr. Gribskav cammented that regardless af which agency paid far the lighting, cansidera-
tian af econamics shauld be a part af the decisian. Mrs. Beal said she believes the
cansensus is that more lighting is needed in the area, and it is naw a questian af a
,praper decisian an a lang-term basis, nat just immediate cast and necessity. to. make the
dawntawn area the mast attractive and livable. Mr. Gribskav,restated his pasitian that
regardless af where the cast falls, it is s'till an impartant factar in whatever decisian
is reached.
Mr. Wiley said 2 faatcandles are cansidered the industry standard, and if that level is
pravided rather than 3.8 faatcandles, the cast wauld be less. Mr. Williams remarked
that if Plan I is used with an~ fixture an each pale, the cast draps abaut a third, and
cast af maintenance wauld drape If two. fixtures are installed an each pale and it
is deci(1ed later 2 faatcandles are apprapriate rather than 3.8, it is simply a matter
af changing bulbs.

plan has not been reviewed by the Planning Commission. He called attention to the original
app;Lication of ERA for grq.nt for the mall work which included pedestrian lights 8 to 10 ' feet
high, and reiterated his previous arguments against installation of the lighting proposed in
Plan I.
, '
John Reynolds, 290 East 37th Avenue, said he feels design review is clearly justified, and
that the level of lighting is twice the illumination'level for residential usage (referring
to upstairs living quarters in the downtown area) as designated by the Electrical Engineer-
ing Society. ' ' " ,
Charles Potterf, 420 East 3rd Avenue, again protested the method of financing the' project.
He said he feels the people benefiting from the lights in the downtown area should pay for
the installation~and that any light, whatever type, should not be installed at taxpayers'
expense, and cited tax expenditures on lighting and police patrol in the do~ntown district.
e
Wilmot Gilland, 1670 Fairmount Boulevard, agreed with Mr. Potterf's'commentsand urged review
of the plan by architects expert in the field of illumination, because once the installation
is ,accomplished they would be difficult to remove. He said he feels the high intensity light-
ing would tend to separate the core area more from adjacent areas rather than connecting it.
I
James LOngl'lOod, 2633 Spring Boulevard, newly appointed member of the Planning Commission, said
he was surprised to find the proposed mall lighting had not been reviewed by the Commission.
He explined it was brought up at a recent Commission meeting because of opposition which had
developed in the Council's consideration, and the Commission denied by ,a 4-3 vote a motion
that the issue be referred to the Design Review Committee.
Howard Bonnett, 775 East 22nd Avenue, Planning Commissi~n member, said he feels in view of
the recent EWEB .rate increase that some of the monies spent should be for the type lighting
desired by those people paying for it, rather than the harsh high-level lighting.
James Pearson, president of the Planning Commission, explained the action referre~ to by
Mr. Longwood in considering the mall lighting - that opinion was split 3-3 on the Commission
as to whether to invite the Council to refer the matter to the Commission, and on a motion
to refer it instead to the ERA Design Review Committee he had voted "no" breaking ~he tie
because he felt it had been considered at length by the Council and that it would not be
appropriate for the Planning Commission without study to recommend a course of action.
Bob Thomas, staff member of ERA, explained the item included in the grant appiication for the
mall referred to by Mr. Poticha was for accerit lighting only, not street lighting.
Councilman Williams said he had been advised by a member of, the Renewal Agency that there is
a February 15, 1972 d~adline for a decision on the lighting because of the scheduling of
street widening and related work in the mall area.
I
Mrs. Campbell said she agrees with the public testimony opposing the.high-level fighting and
that the cost factor is being given too much consideration in view of the investment in the
mall already. She moved to have the entire issue referred to the ERA Design Review Committee,
but the motion was ruled out of order because of a motion on the floor for approva1.
Mrs. Beal questioned remarks made with ,regard to financing the lights, and M,anager explained
that EWEB makes the capital expenditure invested in the street light system, and that amount
is completely recovered from the City over a 15-year period.
Councilman Mohr in answer to Mr. Bonnett's comments with regard to EWEB rates, explained the
plan proposed is the third lowest in terms of power consumption.

C. Condemnation Settlement, Ridenour, West Amazon Expressway - City Council authorized
condemnation of property in the ownership of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Ridenour for right-
of-way for West Amazon Expressway. The amount offered was $3,500.00. Attorney has
now proposed settlement for $3,878.00, the amount of appraisal made at Ridernour's

D. HUD Application, Exchange Open-Space Riverfront Properties, Raup/Brown - Open-space
funds were used to purchase the Raup property on which there were several buildings.
HUD requires clearance of all buildings from properties purchased with open~space
funds, and this was done on the Raup property except the house which is rented to Child
Care, Inc., and being used for a day care center and two small buildings used to store
park equipment. Final settlement is held pending removal of those buildings ~
Staff proposes making comndtment to HUD to remove the two warehouses and the house

J. Conncil Officers, - Council Vice President Mohr, conducting the meeting in the ab-
sence of Mayor Anderso!l, announced election of Council officers for the year 1972;
Councilman Mohr, president; Mrs. Beal, vice president.
K. Sidewalk Petition, Barger Drive and Echo Hollow Road - Submitted by 332 petitioners
for temporary sidewalk on one side of Barger Drive from Ohio Street to Echo Hollow
Road and on one side of Echo Hollow Road from Barger Drive to Willhi Street, and con-
sideration of resurfacing Barger Drive. The petition also asked that the improve-
ments be made without assessment to abutting properties. Manager pointed out a number
of pol.icy questions:
1. City does not pay cost of temporary walks because permanent walks are preferable.
2. Temporary walks delay permanent walk installation.
3. Money for purchase of additional right-of-way to accommodate walks on Barger
must be budgeted. There are no estimates at this time.
4. The City normally precedes sidewalk installation with permanent street improvements.
5. Permanent improvement of Echo Hollow and Barger is needed, permanent walks on one
or both sides could accompany the street project.
6. City would need funds for extra width and storm sewers if permanent streets are
built. These funds are not budgeted.
7. Property owners would normally be assessed for cost of permanent sidewalks and
standard street width.
8. variance from normal City policy to construct temporary walks would result in
similar requests from other areas.
Maps were presented showing where additional right-of-way would be needed. Council
previously toured the area. Staff recommended denial of the petition and that they
be requested to bring back cost estimates on permanent improvements with a breakdown
of cost to property owners and to Ci ty; the information could be used in preparation
of the 1972-73 budget.
Cost estimates for sidewalk on one side of Barger and Echo Holloware: Concrete -
$59,152; Asphalt and Rock - $31,806; Crushed Rock - $18,285. Estimates are notnow
available on acquisi tion of right-of-way", ei ther permanent or temporary. Staff does
not feel a temporary ins tallation between the surfaced mat and existing di tch is safe.
Council members generally agreed temporary installation is not desirable and that if
the City paid for the improvements, a new approach would have to be taken with regard
to the City's assessment policy.
Mr. Mohr suggested a meeting with interested persons in t1w neighborhood to discuss
the improvements requested and answer questions. Manager said a neighborhood com-
Ini ttee in the State Streets area development program was encouraged and it might be
well to meet with that committee after figures and information on alternative pro-
posals are available.
Mr. Williams asked the staff to include in its estimates for consideration costs of
a temporary walk on an assessment basis which would not preclude going back later
and reassessing for permanent improvements.

Mr. Mohr said he would be willing to participate in meetings with people interested
in having the improvements and recommended a meeting be arranged after information
is available. Mrs. Campbell said she was not convinced the City needs to pay the cost
of improvements abutting large vacant areas, those abutting the State street properties
would be okay. She said she had a bulletin mentioning the first phase of a $50 million
program to create pUblic works projects in high unemployment areas, and asked if the
improvements under consideration would qualify under that program. It was staff's
opinion a total economic development program was to be proposed under this funding,
an L-COG appointed conmrittee is working on it, but more information in this regard
would be brought to the regular Council meeting.
A vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried.

Mel Lemmon, 5580 Barger Drive, expressed concern for pedestrian traffic in the area because
of the narrow road width and heavy vehicular traffic. He said costs~ whether for permanent
or temporary sidewalk, would be negligible in relation to danger to children traveling to the
various schools and swimming pool in the area. He urged consideration of installation of
some type of walkway, either permanent or temporary, and said it is his understanding the
required right~of-way for a walk can be obtained by the City quickly and at a minimum cost.
Mayor Anderson explained the Council's action in denying the petition was to deny the re-
quest for the City's payment of costs for a temporary installation~ that the staff was di-
rected to prepare costs estimates for permanent street and sidewalk improvement, plus esti-
mates for a temporary sidewalk, both on an assessment basis.
Councilman Mohr explained that Council members agreed unanimously something must be done;
they also agreed to meet with a committee from the area to discuss the situation and answer
residents' questions with regard to the improvements.
Discussion between Mrs. CampBell and Mr. Lemmon touched on advice from the Public Works
Department that Barger is projected as an arterial at some future time but not ready to be
developed at this time, hence the suggestion for a temporary walkway for safety purposes.
Mr. Lemmon said in answer to Mrs. Campbell's question that he feels people in the area would
be willing to be assessed for a temporary walk.
I
The Manager commented that there are no cost estimates at this time on securing right-of-
way on Barger and Echo Hollow, but in view of the great amount which will be needed for
improving Barger the project would be facilitated if owners of abutting properties were to
contribute the necessary land. With Council approval of the committee action ~ cost estimates
will be prepared on a tempoary walk as well as on the permanent improvements.

P. Protest Sewer Assessment (between Friendly and Lorane Highway), Emery (70-07) - The
Public Works Director explained Enat Mr. W. T. Emery, 2885 Mon+oe Street, wrote a let-
ter of protest prior to the hearing on this assessment in March 1971. The letter was
not presented to the Council at that time since the Public Works staff felt the problem
was resolved with their explanation of procedure for assessment of cost against the
38-foot strip in Mr. Emery's ownership for the sewer constructed on Friendly Street.
Mr. Emery requested Council consideration, although the assessment has been made and
the only action possible is for the cost to be borne by the City if it is decided the
property should not be assessed; the amount ($275.25) is not large enough to warrant
refiguring the entire assessment to spread the cost to. other properties served by the
sewer. Public Works Director said assessment procedure requires assessment of the
property; the sewer is there and can be used, other adjacent sewers cannot be used
because of gravity problems, future sewer construction cannot overlap this area so
there could be no other sewer assessment. He recommended that the assessment stand.
I
e
Mr. Emery said he feels the assessment is unfair because he doesn't believe there will
be construction on the property; if it is developed, it would have to be servi ced by
sewers fram another directian; He displayed a plat of the area showing location of the
property in relation to the sewer and gave a general explanatian af his request far
waiver of the assessment. He said he had been granted waiver of the stub charge.
Mrs. Emery remarked about assumption on the part of the City that the protest had been
resolved; they thought a letter before the hearing was sufficient to gain the Council's
consideration. She feels sewer charges should be borne by properties on Friendly Street
served and does not think charges should be collected after the fact from the City either.
General discussion followed 'between Council members and staff wi th regard to possible
development of the property should it be sold in the future and comb~ned with ad-
jacent properties, whether other sewers could service the area, possible assessments
in the future, assessment procedure, etc.
I
Councilman Mohr left the meeting.
Mr. Emery suggested the Cauncil grant a waiver af the assessment until the property
is deuelaped and will use the sewer.

Man~ger said if assessment procedure were such that sewers were paid for by general
public and value to property realized only when sewer connection made, a waiver would
be appropriate. But it is felt sewer cons tructi on creates val ue to property and
justifies assessment; based on that, vacant areas can be subdivided and developed,
and older areas only partially developed can be provided with sewer and service made
available to vacant lots regardless of whether it is used.

Mayor Anderson said if exception is made in this instance it would set precedent
for extenuating circumstances in future situations. Mr. Emery replied that he felt
precedent was established when cost of the stub was waived.
Public Works Director said waiver of stub cost was another issue; that procedure
for location of the stub in this case had not been completed with Mr. Emery prior
to its installation. He also said even though the property is only 30x150', if a
building permit is requested it would have to be issued and a building could be lo-
cated any place on the property, thereby making use of the sewer.

Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to place the item on file.
Public Works Director said a rehearing of the assessment would have to be held at
which time it could be confirmed. No vote was taken.

Q. Laurelwood Lease - Copies of a letter were distributed to Council members addressed -
to Mrs. Dorothy Johnson from the Parks and Recreation Director terminating'Mrs.
Johnson's lease of Laurelwood Club building as of April 10, 1972. In response to
question from Mrs. Campbell, Manager explained refreshment use could be continued
while the golf course is in operation and no later than 10:00 p.m., or an entirely
different use compatible with operation of the golf course, but there seems to be no
need for another nightclub such as is in ,operation in the building now. ,It could' be
used as a communi ty center, although no funds are available for staffing. Some' vol un-
teer groups have looked at it wi th that purpose in mind. Mrs. Campbell said she had
been asked about its use for the aged because of lack of offi ce space down'town, and
because this would be during the day she felt it would be a good use. Manager said a
meeting is scheduled with the Committee for Aging to explore that possibility.
Mrs. Beal asked about rent from the building ($250 per month) and whether.it could
be reduced or the building used rent free. Manager replied if used by volunteer
groups, would probably have to forego rent; if used as a concession in conjunction
with the golf course, some income would be involved.
Mayor remarked that the intent is to find some use for the building which is compat-
ible wi th operation of the golf course, and the matter will be brought back for Council
action. Mr. Hershner asked if there is a chance of releasing it to the same people
with different hours of operation, and Manager answered they have the right Of first
refusal if operation changed, but at this time no agreement has been reached on
closing at 10:00 p.m.

S. Mayor's Park Study Committee - Mrs. Campbell recommended reactivation of this com-

the proposed Ridgeline Park. There was general discussion with regard to the com-
mi ttee' s membership. Manager explained it as a joint Parks-Planning Study Committee
whi ch, as part of the process of reviewing the feasibility of a ridgeline park con-
cept, was created to act as a steering corrmrrttee to work with interested citizens
and the staff to-bring a proposal to the Planning Commission and Council. Idea of

In answer to Mr. Mohr's question as to whom the committee would report; Mrs.Campbell
said she didn't feel it necessary the committee report to the Council, but as a
result of the Planning commission's action to table the Southridge PUD project she
felt if the committee is to be effective it would have to be reactivated immediately
in order to be heard by the Planning Commission when the item is brought back for
discussion. Manager said better direction would be indicated after the January 24,
1972 Planning Commission meeting; a moratorium for one year on developments of-great
density in the area may be advisable in order to allow time for the PlanningCom-'
mission staff and the Joint Study Committee to review and attempt to report on the
