EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
April 22, 1974
Adjourned meeting of the Common Council of the city of Eugene, Oregon - adjourned from the
meeting on April 8, 1974 - was called to order by His Honor Mayor Lester E. Anderson at
7:30 p.m. on April 22, 1974, in the Council Chamber with the following council members
present: Mr. Williams, Mr. Hershner, Mr. McDonald, Mrs. Beal, Mrs. Campbell, Mr. Keller,
Mr. Murray and Mr. Wood.
~ - Public Hearings
A. Laurelhill Neighborhood Growth Plan
Proposed to the Eugene City Council by the Laurel Hill Citi~ens Association
February - March, 1974.
Mayor Anderson reported agreement re?'~hed between the Council sUD-:ommittee
(Anderson, Williams, Beal) a:J.d L3.\:1'0J.. H::'ll Associatjol1 CTl substance of the
Plan. A redraft will be brought baCk 1:0 Council with a. "do pass" recommendation.
Manager states a committee had been appointed to work with the Laurel Hill
people to address questions raised as to the wording of the proposed plan.
After several meetings a resolution has been developed to adopt the plan as
reworded.
,
Mayor Anderson said the committee, consisting of Council members Beal and
Williams, representatives of Laurel Hill and himself, met several times. The
committee had been charged with making certain changes which would reflect more
clearly what the policy of the City would be. In making editorial changes, the
committee tried to follow the terminology contained in the Community Goals. Also,
the' general terms "neighborhood association" and "residents of the neighborhood"
were used, since the Laurel Hill Citizens Association could some day be replace~
by another group. Thirdly, the introduction was omitted, since it was a letter
of transmittal from the Blanning Commission and has no place in the permanent
document. Fourthly, the word "acknowledgment" was substituted for "recognition"
to connote receipt of the total plan, and the policies were assembled eeparat.e;Ly
for formal adopt ion by the council.
..)
The only substantive changes were in I.a., where provision for controlled income
and rent housing was made" on the advice of the city attorney; in Lb., where
approval of apartment complexes was made contingent upon feasibility of providing
services; the same change was made in 1.3. On Page 3 (of the policy document)
under 11.2., the IDrds, "except as necessary to serve the valley residents' were
added to the prohibition against arterials" and in II. 3. " access to the valley
was allowed as necessary for serving the valley, in order not to deny access
where needed for desireable development. In V., p. 4, wording was changed to
make more clear the responsibility of the' city ',:to keep the neighborhood informed
of proposals involving the valley, and to make clear the funding limitations on
city assistance. .
.~~
~
Lastly, the words "Growth" and "Refinement" were dropped from the title in the
belief that a plan is necessary to a community irrespective of growth or the
existence of a larger plan.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Manager expressed appreciation to the Laurel Hill citizens, the committee and
Mrs. Rutter.
It was pointed out that the responsibilities of the neighborhood organizations
are spelled out quite clearly in the neighborhood organization charter. They
are boards formulated to reflect the attitudes and interests of people in a
particular area and to work ,with the council and give elected officials a closer
view.
From a staff standpoint, there has been concern that spokesmen from neighborhood
organizations be selected by an established screening process and that they
continue to maintain validity as spokesmen. At the present time the role of a
neighborhood organization is advisory, but the city has indicated an obligation
to submit to neighborhood spokesmen those kinds of actions which are coming before
the Council and Planning Commission, so there will be an opportunity for the
organization to react to those proposals. A responsibility exists to give groups
a chance to assist in the decision-making process, but the final decisions of
course lie with the Planning Commiss! on and Council.

f,., -A-question was raised reg~g possible pressure which. could he exerted by
1~\neighborhOOd groups. Mr. Williams r~sponded that precise conclusions need to be
: ,eached defining the relationship of a neighborhood organization to its own members,
, 0 others in the area who are not members, to the community as a whole and to the
~'city staff. The Community Goals Conference will deal with defining roles so as to
resolve any future possible conflicts. He does not see anything in the Laurel Hill
Plan that improperly infringes on the Councilor the City government.
..
Resolution No. 2263 - Adopting Laurel Hill Neighborhood Growth Plan.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to adopt the resolution. Motion carried
unanimously.
B. Zone Change west of Coburg Road north of Country Club Road - from RA to C-2 to C-2 SR
- (Zellner 1 - CA 74..:..5) 'Tax Lots 2200 and 2300
Planning Commission - recommended approval March ..12, ..1974. - Staff notes, Planning
Commission minutes and Planning Commission findings in making recommendation were
previously distributed to Council members and by reference thereto made a part of
this record. A hearing had been called for April 8, but the proponents were unable
to come so the Council continued the hearing to April 22.
-rl
I
No Council member present declared the intent to abstain from voting on the issue.
Public hearing was opened.
Jim Longwood, 725 Country Club Road, expressed concern with an amendment in the
Planning Commission motion which made granting of the zone change subject to 'the
applicant's entering into a zipper contract regarding the access on Coburg Road.
The contract would be similar in nature to the contract entered into by the City and
Rhombus Corporation for the Parkway-Willamette Development. The zipper contract pro-
vision would allow the city recourse should access become hazardous beyond the stages
of Site Review approval.
.'Vi.
.~- ~;
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony.
Jim Saul, Planning, pointed out that the decision in this instance was based on the
fact that there was a similarity between this situation and the Parkway-Willamette
Development. It would be a matter of Council judgment whether to accept the Planning
Commission recommendation as regards the contract with Zellner.
Manager said that the ordinance provides for site review procedures to cover the
following concerns: Efficient, workable and safe interrelationships among buildings,
parking, circulation, open space and landscaped areas as well as related activities
and uses; structures designed, sized and shaped in scale and harmony with intended
uses and resulting in a pleasant environment for working or shopping; safe and efficient
ingress, egress and on-site traffic circulation for pedestrian and bicycle traffic,
as well as for automobile traffic. There is no provision in the ordinance for
revocation of right or ingress and egress.
.1
Mr. Williams expressed discomfort with a revocable right of ingress and egress on
the site.
Council Bill No. 505 - Rezoning to C-2SR area west of Coburg Road north of Country
Club Road (Zellner)(Z 74-5) was read by council bill
number and title' only, there being no councilman present requesting that it be
read in full.
Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner that the findings of fact in the matter of
rezoning to C-2SR area west of Coburg Road north of Country Club Road (Zellner)(Z 74-5)
as set forth in Planning Commission minutes dated March 12, 1974, and on file in the
City Recorder's Office, be adopted by reference thereto; that the council bil~ be read
the second time ,by council bill number only~ with unanimous consent of the CoUncil; ~
and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously 'and the blll

Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner that the bill be approved and given final
passage. Rollcall vote. All Council members present voting aye, the bill was declared
passed and numbered 17031
'.
C. Vacation of Easement located near the intersection of Laurelhurst & Primrose
Planning connnission recommended approval February 11, 1974. The property has been .""
subdivided and the existing easement is recommended for vacation since it no longer
applies to the way the area has been parceled out.

o. Street Vacation located on University Street between East 13th Avenue and East 18th Avenue,
I East1:3th Avenue between University Street and Agate Street, and East 15th Avenue between
Uni vers i ty Street and" Agate Street
Planning Commission recommended approval February 11,1974. Staff has initiated going
ahead based on the understanding that the University would assume ~osts bf street
maintenance, street cleaning, and operation of street lights. Manager received a phone
call rrom chairman of parking committee of the South University group whi indicated that.
the people there were concerned about. the potential for.the University closing Uni versi ty
Street in front of McArthur Court. This would force more day-time parking out into the
neighborhood, and they feel it would be at an unacceptable level. Mr. Don South
representing the group could not be present and asked that the hearing could be continu~d
to allow the neighborhood group to present its viewpoints. If the Council wishes to honor
that request, it would be appropriate to have public testimony and then continue the
hearing or proceed with whatever action is desired.
The public hearing was opened with no testimony presented.
In previous meetings with the University on the parking problem, it was agreed that the
University would have to reduce enough of the vehicles coming to the campus before staff
asks people in the area not to park in their own neighborhood. The 'University is working
on the situation.
It was felt that possible it would be wise to postpone it for a short period of time.
Mr. Williams supported taking any action which would pressure the Univeris~y in terms
of addressing the parking problem.

!A. Request for Cost.of Studt}, Cap,i,tal Costs of Growth - Councilwoman fr,Cal ~fcrred
\ to memo prev,ious"ly distLUJUted requestjn,! the Council to direct staff to bring
\ a report on cost of a study on capital costs of growth. She said the request was
\ not that staff make the study, but that it only report the cost of such a study.
She noted the higher rate of growth for Eugene compared to that of other areas
lof the State. She said the Council subcommittee appointed to make recommendations!
i on change in method of alley and stree~ assessments (Beal, Hershner, Bradshaw)
felt a report on capital costs of growth ~ould be of invaluable assistance-in
planning as well as a saving of tax monies.
.
Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Murray to request staff to report
to the Council what such a study would entail and what the cost
would be.
:Councilman Williams referred to the current updating of community goals and one
lof the major questions in that process - growth, its costs, and direction the
,city should pursue. He had no objection to_~taff's considering the cost of
I "
; such a study, but he was not sur~eoothf'ltJ:he cost could be di2termined until work
ion eommuni ty goals was finished. He suggested pOstponement'-of the request.
In answer to Councilman Murray., Mr. Williams said material ctea'Jillg _wiTh queStions ,
of cost of g:rowth would be distributed to the Community GOeils Commi t;tee wi thin ' ::-'~
the next week. First discussion was scheduled for May 1 or 8 with refinement of
goals, if any, finished by June 5 for presentation t~othe Council.

'postponed to next week's committee agenda in order to consider regular agenda

:Mayor Anderson suggested that the matter be brought back for discussion, and
. Councilman Hershner explained that his "no" vote was with the understanding
ithe issue would be brought back as a regular item on a future agenda. Counci1-
,man Williams said he would support the motion once the resuLts of the corrununity
goals update was known. In answer to Mrs. Bea1's suggestion that the budget
,would be prepared by that time, Mr. Williams cited other instances of funding
;studies during a budget year.

:It was understood the item

would be on the April 24 commi ttee agenda unless.
Manager noted the Community Schools report held

'back soon. Councilman Murray hoped discussion on the School report would take

B. Ambu;lance Rate Increase Request - Copies of present and proposed ambulance rates
werE' previously distributed to Council members. The proposea ra'tes were recommended'
by a joint Eugene-Springfield commi ttee charged wi th reviewing request from Eugene/ '
Springfield Ambulance Services, Inc., for change in the rate structure. The Spiing-:
field City Council adopted the recommendations as presented. Memo from Finance \
'Department was read explaining the request for rate increase and subsequent audit
of the Ambulance Services financial records, and calling attention to the request
that adjustment of charges 'for all supplies be made upon written notification to
the City finance office. Manager pointed out specific changes in the rates pro~
:posed by the joint committee, noted investigation had covered current rates in
:othe,y areas, and prices for supplies had been compared to those purchased from
sl.!-rg,ica1 supply companies. Letter from Ruth Edwards, Springfield councilwoman i
and Jne0ber of the joint committee, was read supporting the rate increase and sug-
'gest.ing a review by the LCOG Comprehensive Heal th Planning Corruni ttef;'!, to achieve 1
.SOme__form,..of Lane County subsidy to relieve Eugene and SprinqFie1dvcitizf;.ns, of some
'Of tl:teburden of "lost reve1?ue" costs to the Ambulance' Services. Also noted', '
'was a. letter from members of Triangle Lake Emergency Action Services supporting
the I'a te increase.
Councilman Williams questioned the request that future adjustment ,in charges for
supplies be made upon "written notification to the foinance department." He wondered
about the basis for those charges. Sherm F10gstad, .finance director, explained that
the ~ording in the resolution which would adopt the changes provided that adjustments
would be made to current prices upon "wri tten notification to and approval of the
city finance officer." He explained that any charges to be adjusted would have to
be comparable to then current prices on medical supplies at hospitals and clinics.
i~ the area. ' He said the cost of supplies was higher to the ambulance services
than to hospitals because of purchases in smaller quantities; larger purchases
\ were not practicable because of fairly rapid deterioration.
Councilwoman Campbell asked for an estimate of possible reduction in charges if a
County subsidy was achieved. Bill Leonard, president of the Ambulance Services,
explained that because of varying situations he didn't want to be "locked in" on a
'figure but would estimate possibly a 10 to 15% reduction if the County did have
money available.
:Councilman M!irray wondered whether the start-up fee should reflect the type of
ambulance used in view of the difference in cost and operation between the in-
tensive care unit and the regular unit. Mr. Leonard said probably in the future
the r.;ttes could be structured from that approach but there was not enough operating
exper.ience with the, intensive care unit to' warrant it now. He said that.patients
picked up by the van were not really subsi'dizing those picked up by the intensive

the Ambulance Services anticipated all ambulance units in the future would be !
equipped as the intensive care unit to meet any type of emergency including dis- 1
aster services. . 1

,Councilman Keller asked why in the replacement of equipment the charge was listed
ias "current retail prices." Mr. Leonard explained that in event of damage by
:patients to any equipment the cost of replacement would be charged to the person
,causing the damage. In answer to Councilman Murray, Mr. Leonard cited instances
iof use of the intensive care unit rather than the van in answering calls - heart
'Iiattacks vs broken legs. Manager suggested change in wording of "current retail
. prices" to more clearly define the intent of the replacement charges.

j Mrs. Beal moved seco.nded by Mr./Williams to approve the-rate increase
as proposed.

iCouncilman Murray expressed hesitation about approval of the nEi!J!L-ratestructure
because of the lack of ' differentiation between the intensive care unit and van and
hoped other -Council members would ~give that some thought. He said he would vote
against approval for that one reason. Manager suggested that Mr. Leonard before
the April 8 Council meeting could further explore the concern expressed by,
,Mr. Murray. Council agreed to placing the matter on the consent calendar wit'h
;segregation possible if further discussion was desired. ·

C ,Building Code Enforcement Program - Manager said the State of Oregon has established
.
:a state building code and pre-empted that field from the cities and the counties.
iThe statutes provide that the cities may continue to enforce building codes at the
:local level. If they decide not to do so, it then becomes the responsibility of
!the county. If the county opts out, it 'then falls under the state's jurisdiction.
(The opinion was voiced that the City would prefer to continue operating its own
:Building Division to maintain a locally operated service and thereby be more
iresponsive to the peeds of the community. The statute requires that, if the city
. is to continue the operation, it is necessary to inform the state by council action.
Mr. Wood moved seconded by Mr. Murray that the State be advised of the
City of Eugene's intention to maintain its own Building Department.
Motion carried, all council members present voting aye.

report were previously distributed to council members. Recreation Superintendent Dave
Pompel gave a presentation on the, report. He stated that the initial Community School
Committee was made up over a year ago and chaired by Judge Edwin Allen~ A.second .
committee was subsequently appointed, and they have worked on various aspects of the ~
program and have put together a report which is viewed as a plan in progress. out of
,that came a. recommendation that a Community School Advisory Council be established,
with whom the school principal would work closely to carry forward the goals of the
program. The princjpal would also supervise the work of the Community School Coordinator.
The City of Eugene's access to the administrat~on of the program would be through the
formulation of a Community School Coordinating Committee. This committee would have
repre~entatives from the City, the school district and the local community schools.
The schools included in the 74-75 proposed allocations are Laurel Hill, Whiteaker,
Lincoln, Ida Patterson, with Coburg being funde4~y District 4-J only.
It was pointed out that -th~-City Council needs to take action on whether to accept the
'report and continue the p;'ogram. If approved, it w-;'rila-then be-necessary to set up
an administrative agreement between the school district and the city, appoint a
community schOQl_~oordinati~~ cpmmittee and city representative to that committee, and
determine the whole area of staffing-and what the city's input would be, including
,budget, schools to be included, designation of-progra@,and_provision for yearly review.

,Mrs. Campbell questioned the role of the Mott Foundation. Mr. Pompel answered that
:they have been instrumental in contributing money and resources and various other
'training expenses.
..
Mr. Wood spoke positively about the program and particularly the ability of Committee
,'member Larry Horyna in these kinds of endeavors.
I
'In answer to a question from Mr. Murray, Mr. Pompel answered that the Bethel School
(District is not affected by this agreement, that there would be continual communication
:between them and the School District 4-J Program, however.

Discussion was also held as to the County's involvement, should a school be located
:outside the city. The county at this point has expressed a. reluctance to become involved
;as they would not have available funds; also, their responsibility extends to the
.entire county, not just the area around Eugene. Discussion also was held on the fact
that it would be useful to define roles when a community school and neighborhood
iorganization are operating side by side.
I
Mr. Keller asked about potential growth in the next two years. Mr. Pompel asserted
.that the City's share for 74-75 is esti~ated at $45,000 and that, if the program is
successf~l, he sees .it easily doubling or tripling in the next two tb three years. He
:also stated the schools' cooperation with the city and use of the facilities has been
:'excellent. He believes a key factor is not simply getting into the facili ties but
I.establishing better usage wi th less red tape; there should be more' invoivement of
the community and an opportunity for the community to voice its desires.
Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by' Mr. Murray to direct the staff to prepare
a joint resolution between the City and the school district.
.It was pointed out that the City'smo~etary share is included in the proposed city
i '.
fUdget and that the city's contribution would be subject to budgetary approval.

basically to provide relief to property owners from the rising cost of assessments.
, The existing policies would not be affected as regards commercial streets or storm
.\ sew~rs. The policy would be changed only on streets adjacent to existing single-family
residential developments.
\ The resolution provides that the City shall pay the costs of street construction in
,excess of that required for a standard street, which is: 1. Residential street, 28
: feet wide, abutting existing single family dwellings, duplexes or vacant properties
lin R-l, R-A or AG districts; 2. Residential street, 36 feet wide, abutting lots in.a
new or undeveloped residential subdivision, new residential development or multiple.
family district; 3. Commercial or industrial street, 44 feet wide, abutting property
in a commercial or industrial district.
Some changes Were recommended in the proposed ordinance, and reference was made to a
section of the proposed ordinance outlining conditions under which collection of
,assessments may be deferred: Council may defer collection representing cost in excess
of that for a 28-foot street if all the following conditions exist: (a) underdeveloped
. property, (b) existing use requires no more than a 28-foot street, (c) property is in
!R-l, R-A, or AG district.
I Staff wishes council to consider including in the. proposed new policy some streets
which pave been constructed and are ready for assessment. For some years, there have
Inot been major improvements to roads in the classifications referred to in the proposed
\ordinance. However, this past summer several have been constructed, including Echo
jH01low, Norkenzie, Bailey Hill, West Amazon Drive, Oakway Road, Oak Patch Rpad and
lNorth Polk. The cost to include these roads would be $103,000. This loss should be
able to be supplanted because of some joint projects with the County.
IMrs. Bea1 stated that, in arriving at a decision for the City to assume part of the
costs in residential areas, the philosophy was that there was a benefi.t to the general
public when the street became a collector or arterial street. Therefore, this benefit
Ito the general public should be absorbed by the City rather than by the resident.
Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to schedule the resolution for
Coun~il consideration and that it apply to projects now being completed
and ready for assessment. Motion carried, all council members present

'Assessment ordinances to be considered by Council on April 22~ 1974:
1. C.B. 501 - Levying as~essments for paving Ridgeway Drive from Goodpasture Island

3. C.B. 503 - Levying assessments for sto~ sewer between Sally Way and Marlow Lane
rom Norwood Street to Gilham Road (73-50)
No written protests on file.
-
Since three property owners were present for the hearing on this assessment ordinance~
the panel asked the city engineer to provide the background of the project befo~e any
testimony was heard. He eXplained that the ditch was relocated to, the N. boundary
of the Marlow Lane properties at the time of platting in 1966 to accommodate the
development of the lots. A petition to install a sto~ sewer in this ditch was
received in 1971 and the project was not constructed due to high bid costs. A new
petition was received from a portion of the property owners in 1972 to have a stor.m
sewer pipe installed in order to fill in the ditch. A poll of property owners was
taken prior to award of the contract stating the estimated cost for each lot. A
favorable response from owners of 64% of the affected property was received. Bids
were awarded on this basis with one written protest from Mrs. Theodora SaZmon. The
. city engineer explained that the entire subdivision should have shared in the cost
of the stor.m seWer at the time of platting; however~ at that time there was no
stor.m sewer system existing in the area and the subdivider was not required to
install the stor.m sewer. Since only haZf of the Zots in the subdivision are
sharing in the cost of the sto~ s~wer at this time~ the City is assuming the
portion of costs that would nor.mally have been borne by the other half of the ...
properties. The City's total participation in the project is 75%. ~
Mr. Delmont Dougherty of 2181 Marlow Lane objected to paying such a high pr~ce for
fiZling in the ditch and stated he felt the property owners on Sally Way were
benefited as much as Marlow Lane properties and should share in the assessment.
He stated that with the pipe being located on Sally Way~ their properties are
benefited,~ydrainage into the stor.m sewer and should be assessed a portion of
the cost.'-~1;'!l Engineer explained that the 12ipe ZJas located on SaZZu WaZ/ because
i l~

~
the contractor was'unable to construct it in the ditch area. He explained that the
project was undertaken at the request of property owners_9n Marlow Lane and since the
ditch was entirely on their property it was their responsibility and not that of
properties on Sally Way.
II
Mrs. Theodora Salmon of 2179 Marlow Lane objected to paying $1200 for filling in
the ditch. She stated she could have hired someone .to fill in her part of the
ditch for much less. City Engineer explained state law prohibits blocking of
natural drainageways~ therefore~ the pipe had to.be .installed before the ditch
could be filled. Mrs. Salmon asked how the 64% favorable response was calculated
and how were owners counted who did not answer the poll. City Engineer stated that
there was' a response from all property.owners and that the 64% was arrived at by using
the number of front feet of property represented by fizvorable responses to the poll.
Mrs. Salmon al8'o objected to the fact tha-t Sally Way properties are not sharing in
, the costs.
. . I
Mr. Wilfred Swindall of 2163 Marlow Lan~ stated he purchased his property in 1972
from the school district and no mention was made of the proposed sewer in the
transaction. He stated that the original ditch has not been filled completely and
that he still has a 12" ditch that carries surface w~t~r. Can he fil~.this in and
.,~ use the propex'ty for planting~ etc.? CiLy Engineer stated that the 12" Bwale
was Zeft so as not to cause any drainage probZems on the MarZow Lane properties. '
e
.Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty and Mrs. Salmon again raised the question of the benefit
: to Sally Way properties and stated they still felt Sally Way property should
share in the cost.
. Councilwoman Campbell requested clarification from city engineer as to the
actual benefit of this project to Marlow Lane properties. City engineer
,stated that the ditch was located on the Marlow Lane properties and a majority
,of these property owners requested that the storm sewer be installed in order
:to have the ditch filled. The pipe is located in the street area of Sally Way
'only because the contractor was unable to install the pipe in the ditch area.
Considerable discussion followed regarding the benefits to Martow Lane and Sally
I Way properties and the high costs of the project. Councilwoman Beal concurred
that the costs seemed high; however~ this has been the case in all improvement
contracts this past year and the city expects even higher costs for forthcoming
: projects.

Q. asture Island Land Use' Study - John Blayney of Livingston & Blayney, city
regional planners, presented the firm's interim report on the commercial need
refinement study (Goodpasture Island area/Central Business District). Mr.Blayney
pointed out that this report had not a great deal of content. Rather it was a
midway report.on the types of information being gathered in attempting to provide
the bases for policy decisio~ with regard to further commercial development in
the Goodpasture Island area. In looking at what would be involved in terms of
costs and benefits various impacts would be considered - economic effect on the
entire metropolitan area, cost of_munic~.pC1.l!!ervices'_I!.rivate economic~impact,
~environmental and social i.mpact, etc. Mr. Blayney said that the economists,
taking trend projections and LCOG population projections together with given
assumptions with regard to annual average increase, roughly estimated that the
reta~l floor area would double in the next 15 years. The question then becomes
~ot what goes into the downtown mall versus Valley River so much as it is the

Bob Glover, lead man on the study by the consulting .firm, cited use of LCOG ~nd

realistic projections over the next 20 to 30 years. Existing and 'potential
~mployment levels, land use, zoning and potential for expansion of commercial
zoning, masstransi t information, etc., were taken into consideration for de-
ve~opment of alternatives in determining the future of the downtown area and
~mp~ct on other land uses.
~ouncilman Murray asked whether a comprehensive look was being taken at existing
commercially-zoned property, either in shopping cen'ters or distributed throughout
the community, not used for commercial purposes. He wondered if there would be
:an evaluation of whether to change some of the existing commercial zones.
iMr. Glover responded that much of it wouldn't be used, but suggested that in
ithe future major commercial centers probably would be zoned on. a contractual
rasis - if not developed for commercial use, the commercial zoning would not

I~answer to Councilman Keller with regard to the statement on doubling the retail
area, Mr. Blayney said that even heavily discounting present projections, the
increase in real spendable income per family would double the total retail area
in the metropolitan area which would be enough to start a third regional shopping
center. With regard to air pollution, it .was pointed out that there could be some
measure b~ area, but generally that impact would have to be on a community-wide
basis. A large concentration of activities would obviously generate more traffic
thereby generating more pollution.

lPlanning Commission member David Hoffman asked'whether the area covered by the
!study included water areas, rights:"of-way, etc., and whether. there would be
Irecommendations with regard to .utilization of waterways. 'Mr. Blayney said the
area included everything west of the Delta Highway to the River, estimated about
800 acres. All of the undeveloped property in that area would be considered for
some use if not commercial.
Darrell Smith, architect, asked whether another interim report would be made with
regard to annexation in the Goodpasture area. Mr. Blayney replied that a written
memo wou2d be furnished within the next few weeks on annexation. Deadline of June
1974 for completion of the study di~ not permit interim discussion other than
necessary to complete the study.
In answer to Mrs. Campbell's concern about plans of the Willamette Greenway Associa- I
tion in that area, Mr. Blayney said his firm would be in consultation with them
during the study.

properties, but recommendations would be included on general problems and sol~-
tions for typical situations. John porte!, planning director, added that probably
the only area on which recommendations would be made was the downtown central

city Use of Armory - Response to Letter from commissionerOmlid - Manager stated the
County Commissioners have been wrestling with new office facilities for the County in
accordance with the Civic Center Plan which has been d.iscussed for a number of years.
The initial 'plan called for the taking down of the armory and the replacement on that
land with a county office building. There has been some interest in preserving the
armory because of its possible historical value. The Commissioners wrote to the City
stating that, if the armory is to be saved, pernaps the City would consider purchasing
it at theprice~~e__~9uE~Y9-!j,gJ~cl}1!L~paiclJg!'-i:t_.- ----~---
e
There is no question but that the present city staff is in some areas badly overcrowded.
At this time the City is in a very critical budgeting situation; the vota of the people
will determine whether or not the existing level of services can even be continued. It
:is difficult to proceed to secure more space when reductions in staff may be forthcoming.'
:'It would therefore be difficult to justify advocating spending money to make the '
jarmory usable until the outcome of the 74-75 budget is known. A cursory investigation \
lof the armory has indicated it would cost about $270,000 to bring it up to code. This
:would allow use of the south portion, as well as the basement for storage, etc., and it
~would lower the ceiling for single floor use in the auditorium portion and seal off the
\north portion. If those steps were taken, staff feels the move should be mor~ permanent:
\tor,say, at least 20 years. To bring it "up to snuff" for 20 years or more could cost
:somewhere around $500,000. It is therefore the feeling of city admini'stration that
'[using the armory for office purposes is not economically sound. Code requirements
'become stricter when talking about using a buildinq for assembly purposes. It would
:seem more econo.mical'in the l~ng run to pursue the addition of the tower to City Hall,
jwhich would also keep City offices in one location.
.
:Mr. Murray stated that, as' a member of the Vision 2000 Commi ttee, they were to advise
i the County Commissioners on their building program. ~'he Committee has discussed at
;great length the issue of the armory. In discussing the armory, it has not focused
particularly on the reason to preserve that building being one of history only.. Other
reasons include the fact thi building might have some functio~al use for the community.
Another factor is that it really is not necessary to tear it down. Last week the Vision
2000 Committee made a recommendation that the building plans for the County need not be
delayed and that there was no immediate need to tear down the armory; therefore, a
subcommittee should be established and the armory should stay for the immediate future
.until the subcommittee could explore the various uses for funding. The City would be
impeding the work of that committee if the city were to get involved now.
;Commissioner Omlid disagreed with Mr. Murray on the committee's charge. The charge
was really to work on the design of the new building. He stated there should be
leconomic justification to the taxpayers if the armory is to be preserved. He said
!they purchased the armory for the specific purpose of replacing it with the public
.service building. Leaving it standing does cloud the design of the new building somewhat,
ibut it can be worked out with one plan or another. He feels a.broader based opinion is .
'needed to preserve it. His request of the Council is for help in solving the problem of
what to do with it. He further stated the City could lease it for $1 a year if they
wished to refurbish it and use it for office space.
Mr. Keller mentioned that City administration had stated they would probably have to
,look for office space outside City Hall and wonders why the feeling is that using
the armory only one block away is economically unfeasible.
:.
Manager clarified that, if a choice is possible, it is preferable to preserve the
continuity by not splitting up the staff. If expansion is needed before such time
as the tower is built, there will have to be a split; but staff feels t~e armory would
be too expensive because of its need for refurbishing. An estimate for the cost to
build the tower is 2 1/2 million dollars. Mrs. Beal asked if it might not De wise to
lease space at the armory. Manager said that, right at the moment, there is substantial
. inventory for lease int'h~ "dC;w~town area.
Mr. Keller asked how many square feet would be in the tower. Manager said about
42,000 square feet. (The armory is talking about 34,000 square feet). He also
commented that projections of space needs assuming current need plus future p~(;
would indicate that, in 20 years, we might need as much as another' 70,000 squa ; i
