Obie. I. PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED TEST DIVERTER--5TH AVENUE AT ALMADEN STREET e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced consideration of a test diverter at 5th Avenue and Almaden Street. Nathan Duke of the Public Works Department gave the staff report. He said the council is considering the appeal of a Public Works Department administrative decision to delay installation of a test diverter at 5th Avenue and Almaden Street until the Chambers Connector is completed. The Chambers Connector probably will be completed in the summer of 1988. The appeal was filed by the co-chairs of the Whiteaker Community Council Traffic Committee. Mr. Duke reviewed requests in 1979 and 1984 for installation of a diverter at 5th Avenue and Alamaden Street. He said a diverter could not be installed in 1979 because of a railroad spur through the intersection. The railroad spur will be removed during construction of the Chambers Connector. In 1979, a test half-diverter was installed at 5th Avenue and Taylor Street. The results of the half-diverter were not satisfactory and it was removed. In 1984, the Chambers Connector Spillover Study Task Team considered the diverter issue and recommended a "woonerf" or threshold at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Almaden Street after the Chambers Connector is finished. Funds for the "woonerf" are included in the Chambers Connector project. Mr. Duke said the staff recommends installation of the diverter be delayed because general circulation in the area is needed during the widening of 6th and 7th avenues and the construction of the Chambers Connector, because access is needed to businesses that abut the Chambers Connector, and because the Police, Fire and Emergency Services Department has indicated that a diverter would impair service to the area during construction of the Chambers Connector and the widening of 6th and 7th avenues. Mr. Duke said correspondence was distributed to the councilors from the Kamps, 1204 West 4th Avenue; Petersen Brothers, 6th Avenue and Blair Street, J1s Color Center, 1906 West 6th Avenue; S.M. Thurmon; and Margaret Backenheimer tit MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 1 e and James Dale Brown, P.O. Box 1921. In addition, he received telephone calls from Alan Mayer, 3rd Avenue and Taylor, who is opposed to the diverter; and Ed Bryan of The Carpet Company, Cordie Jensen of Bevis Steak House, and Denny Prichard of Evergreen Photo who favor the installation of a diverter when the construction is completed. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Duke said there is a STOP sign at 5th Avenue and Polk Street. He said the installation of additional STOP signs deflates their value and STOP signs cause vehicle noise. Replying to questions from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Duke said a temporary diverter at 5th Avenue and Almaden would cost $5,000 to $10,000. The cost is similar to the cost for the "woonerfll in the Chambers Connector project. He said the Lane County Public Works staff indicated that the money in the Chambers Connector could be reserved until a decision is made about whether a woonerf- or threshold-type entranceway or a diverter is better. The half-diverter at 5th Avenue and Taylor was not effective because people drove around it and east-bound traffic was diverted into the Fourth Avenue neighborhood. The proposed diverter would segregate the residential neighborhood from the commercial development on 5th Avenue. Business people in the neighborhood have indicated that they would suffer if access to their properties is curtailed during the construction period. Mr. Duke said he somewhat agreed that access via arterials to the businesses on 5th Avenue would be difficult. e Ms. Bascom said she served on the Spillover Task Team. She said the woonerf- or threshold-type entranceway was to accommodate the concerns of 5th Avenue residents. She said the task team did not address the issue of so much construction taking place at the same time. Responding to her question, Mr. Duke said neighborhood residents and the Public Works staff think a diverter would be more effective than a "woonerf" on 5th Avenue. Answering questions from Ms. Schue, Mr. Duke reviewed the location of the proposed "woonerf.1I Replying to other questions from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Duke said he had no information about the correlation of increased traffic on 5th Avenue and accidents in the area. Answering questions from Mayor Obie, Mr. Duke said some people use Fifth Avenue to reach businesses on Fifth Avenue and a diverter would impede that access. When the Chambers Connector is finished, it will not be necessary to use Fifth Avenue to reach those busi nesses. Pol ice, Fi re and Emergency Services officials have stated that a diverter at 5th Avenue and Almaden would severely impair service while arterials are torn up. Mr. Gleason added that established patterns are important to emergency vehicle drivers. Replying to questions from Mr. Holmer, Mr. Duke said it is difficult to know what the traffic counts on 5th Avenue will be when the construction is completed. Ms. Wooten said residents on 5th Avenue between Polk Street and Blair Street are affected by increased traffic. Answering her question, Mr. Duke said the e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 2 e responses of residents east of Polk Street were considered when the decision was made to delay installation of the test diverter. The recent staff study did not include those people because they would not be adversely affected by the diverter. He said a daily traffic count of 4,200 is high for a residential street. The block north of 18th Avenue on City View probably has that high a count. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. James McCoy, 1190 West 5th Avenue, said he purchased his house in 1979 when the street was pleasant and quiet. Now, he does not like living in his house because the traffic problems have alienated him from his home. He said there will be long-term problems if people like him move away from inner-city neighborhoods. Mr. McCoy said the Whiteaker Refinement Plan indicates that 5th Avenue should not be an arterial but City actions have increased the traffic on 5th Avenue. He said the fast traffic signal at 5th Avenue and Blair Street has increased the traffic because it makes it easy to get across Blair Street. He said people get places quicker using 5th Avenue than by using 6th or 7th avenues. He said the Whiteaker representative on the Spillover Task Team did not represent the people in his neighborhood and the "woonerf" is unacceptable to him and his neighborhood. He said 5th Avenue is not needed for access to businesses in the area. Mr. McCoy said some of his neighbors are thinking of moving because the environment in the neighborhood has degraded. He said 5th Avenue is not needed for access to businesses in the area. e Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. McCoy said the staff approval of a diverter is good but it is important that residents see some City action on the issue now. He said a policy decision has not been made to install the diverter after the construction is finished. Laura Johnson, 1810 Fairmount, said she opposes any diverter. She said she owns a new commercial building on West 3rd near Taylor and access to the buil di ng must be vi a 5th or 2nd avenues. She sa i d 2nd Avenue is not satisfactory for people from the east. She discussed the negative impacts of a diverter at 5th Avenue and Almaden on people coming to her building from the south or west. She said the diverter would really be a barricade. She said one business owner in the neighborhood who employs about 80 people is leaving Eugene because the con struct i on of the Chambers Connector wi 11 remove a railroad spur. She hoped City actions would not hurt other business people. Ken Coleman, 1457 West 5th, said he represented the Whiteaker Community Council. He said traffic on West 5th has increased steadily for the last eight years. He said people are concerned about the safety of themselves and their pets and they do not want to wait two more years for the traffic to lessen. He said traffic on 5th Avenue is very heavy in the summer months when there is construction on the streets. He said some parked vehicles have been damaged. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 3 e Mr. Coleman said 5th Avenue from Blair Boulevard to Almaden Street is only 32 feet wide. He said it is difficult for two cars to travel on the street if cars are parked on the side. It is even more difficult for trucks to travel on the street. He said other streets in the area are 34 and 36 feet wide. Mr. Coleman said people fear for the safety of residents on 5th Avenue if the present traffic pattern is not changed before construction begins on 6th Avenue. He said commercial traffic uses 5th Avenue as an alternative to 6th and 7th avenues. There is only one STOP sign between Blair and Grant streets. He said neighborhood people want commercial traffic directed to arterials. If the test diverter is installed, businesses west of Almaden Street would have good access on Almaden, Fillmore, Chambers, and Grant streets. Good access would be available to Ms. Johnson's business from Polk Street. Mr. Coleman said the goals of the Whiteaker Community Council Transportation Committee are to retain the residential character of the neighborhood, to reduce the through traffic, and to ensure the safety of residents. James McCarthy, 474 Brookside Drive, said he owns Emerald Office Supply at 788 West 6th and employs 18 people. He said he supported the widening of 6th and 7th avenues. He discussed the competition his business has from out-of-town owners and mail-order catalogues. He said congestion from construction on 6th Avenue will be disruptive to his business and diversion of traffic from 5th Street before the construction is finished will adversely affect his business. It will make access so difficult that customers will go elsewhere. e Mr. McCarthy said increased police visibility and the installation of YIELD and STOP signs would decreased traffic problems on 5th Avenue during the construction. He said the council can demonstrate its support for small businesses by postponing the test diverter until the construction is finished. Robert Emmons, 1064 West 5th, said concerns about traffic on 5th Avenue are not a recent phenomenon. They have been raised by neighbors since 1979 and 1980 when a petition was signed by 132 people. He reviewed the recommendat ions of the Spi 11 over Study Task Team. He said the Whi teaker representative on the task team did not live in his neighborhood and he was surprised to learn of the Chambers Connector egress onto 5th Avenue. Mr. Emmons said the present traffic on 5th Avenue is intolerable. Traffic counts between Polk Street and Blair Boulevard are as much as seven times normal counts for residential streets. Many trucks use the street. He said traffic problems on 5th Avenue will increase when the Chambers Connector is completed. Mr. Emmons said the recent Public Works Department study of neighborhood traffic was not valid because the area between Blair Boulevard and Polk streets was excluded and write-in votes were not counted. He said the concerns of businesses prevailed. He said residents should not have to wait for the completion of the Chambers Connector for a solution to the traffic problem. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 4 e Mr. Emmons said many of the Community Development Block Grant funds were spent in rehabilitating 5th Avenue area but the livibility of 5th Avenue is jeoparized by the traffic. He said the installation of a test diverter now will help retain the residential character of the neighborhood, reduce through commercial traffic, ensure public safety, and preserve the historical character of the neighborhood. Mr. Emmons said 5th Avenue between Blair Boulevard and Polk Street has twice as much traffic as 5th Avenue between Polk and Almaden streets. He asked the council to consider partial barricades at the 5th and Polk and the 5th and Blair intersections, a traffic circle or island at the 5th and Tyler intersection, and NO THROUGH TRAFFIC signs. Rich Snider, 1697 West 5th Avenue, said he owns Eugene Mirror and Glass Company at 5th Avenue and Chambers Street. He said his truck drivers do not use 5th Avenue to get downtown but they do use 5th Avenue to get to areas such as the South River Road area. He said a diverter at Almaden Street would create a hardship for him. He said the Chambers Connector will relieve traffic problems in the neighborhood and the diverter should not be installed until the Chambers Connector is completed. Mr. Snider said 5th Avenue is not used by through traffic going west. However, several successful businesses have located near 2nd Avenue since 1979 and they have generated increased traffic in the area. He said the 5th Avenue residential area is close to strong business areas and the street should not be compared to residential streets in other parts of the city. e Joe Janda, 1207 West 5th Avenue, discussed the process for considering the request for the diverter from the Whiteaker Community Council. He said the City staff stated that through traffic on 5th Avenue from Blair to Grant streets is a problem but only a small segment of that area was surveyed. He asked the council to, at least, direct the staff to do more research to reach a compromise between residential and commercial interests. He said residents have gone through many channels for several years and the council owes them a good dec is ion. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Mr. Duke said the City will try to manage traffic as well as possible during construction on 6th Avenue this summer. Ms. Wooten said traffic on 5th Avenue greatly increased during construction in past summers. Answering her questions, Mr. Duke said utilities will be installed earlier this summer than in the past, drivers will be encourage to use 11th and 13th avenues, two lanes will be open at all times on 6th Avenue, and there will be a "hot line." Answering questions from Mr. Rutan and Mayor Obie, Mr. Duke said 6th Avenue will be widened this summer. The possibility of installing the test diverter in October 1987 could be investigated. The businesses affected by construction of the Chambers Connector would be contacted before a diverter is installed. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 5 e Mr. Miller wondered if a diverter could be installed now, taken out in June when construction on 6th Avenue begins, and then installed again in September when construction on 6th Avenue is finished. Public Works Director Christine Andersen said drivers become confused when traffic patterns change. Routes need to be established and changes should not be made for short periods. She said the traffic counts on 5th Avenue will be high this summer during construction but even a daily count of 4,200 is not a large percentage of the 14,00 to 16,000 daily count for 6th and 7th avenues. She said the 5th Avenue traffic count would be higher if the City encouraged people to use 5th Avenue. She said the staff can consider mitigating efforts after 6th Avenue is widened and before the Chambers Connectors is completed. Answering questions from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Duke said Lane County officials indicate that the money in the Chambers Connector project will be available if the City decides to change the design of the woonerf at 5th Avenue in the project. He said the Chambers Connector and the widening of 6th and 7th avenues need to be completed before the effects of the test diverter at the 5th and Almaden can be analyzed. Replying to questions from Ms. Ehrman, Mr. Duke said truck drivers are encouraged to use 6th and 7th avenues and there are NO THROUGH TRUCKS signs on 11th Avenue from Franklin Boulevard to Garfield Street. The City relies mainly on voluntary compliance with the signs. Mr. Holmer said STOP signs at Almaden and Polk streets and a slower traffic light at Blair Street would discourage through traffic. Mr. Duke responded that a STOP sign exists at Polk Street and the City could consider the other suggestions. e Ms. Ehrman said the councilors must balance the needs of the residential and commercial communities. She said she favors the staff recommendation but she would like a STOP sign installed at Almaden now. Ms. Wooten said she has assisted the businesses that have had difficulty because of the reconstruction of 6th and 7th avenues and she knows the degradation suffered by the 5th Avenue residential neighborhood. She said a traffic count of 4,200 is extremely high and divides a community. She said investments in the residential neighborhood are decreasing. She said she would like another survey conducted that includes residents between Polk and Blair. She would also like to know if the traffic signal at Blair Boulevard can be changed. Ms. Wooten said she supports installation of a temporary diverter now on 5th Avenue because access to businesses can be provided on other streets. She said the summer construction period is when residents need help. They should not bear the burden of widening 6th and 7th avenues. She said the diverter could be removed after the summer construction period until the Chambers Connector is completed. She also favors NO THROUGH TRUCKS signs in the area. Ms. Bascom said the traffic issue is very important to residents and they have diligently sought a solution. She said maintaining 5th and 8th avenues as residential streets was important to the Spillover Study Task Team and she e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 6 e supports some method of discouraging traffic on 5th Avenue. She said, however, that the effects of a test diverter on 5th Avenue cannot be known until construction in the area is completed. She will support the staff recommendation. Mr. Holmer said a solution to the problems is needed. He said he does not want to take action now to authorize a test diverter when the Chambers Connector is completed. Ms. Schue wondered how much difference a diverter on 5th Avenue would make during the summer months. She said last summer's increase of about 1,000 vehicles a day was not much when compared to the traffic on 6th and 7th avenues. Answering her question, Ms. Andersen said 5th Avenue will provide access for emergency vehicles this summer if a diverter is not installed and that was an important element in the staff recommendation. Mr. Bennett said 5th Avenue should be maintained as a residential street. He supports the staff recommendation with the hope that interim measures can relieve some of the traffic congestion. Changes to the traffic signal at Blair Street and added STOP signs might help. He said a commitment to maintain residential streets in the area was implicit in approval of the widening of 6th and 7th avenues. Mr. Miller said people seem to be concerned about traffic this summer. He said installation of a diverter this fall would assure both business owners and residents that the City is concerned about their problems. e Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to authorize installation of a test diverter at 5th Avenue and Almaden Street after the completion of the Chambers Connector, to direct the staff to install at least a temporary STOP sign at the 5th and Almaden intersection before the installation of the test diverter, and to direct the staff to consider the installation of NO THROUGH TRUCKS signs at the 5th Avenue and Blair Street and the 5th Avenue and Chambers Street inter- sections before the test diverter is installed. Discussing the motion, Mayor Obie said its passage would direct the staff to report to the council about STOP and NO THROUGH TRUCKS signs on 5th Avenue. Ms. Wooten said she will oppose the motion because the experience of 5th Avenue residents during the construction season is abominable and unfair. Ms. Bascom said the direction in the motion should be flexible enough to permit the staff to suggest other options if the specific instructions in the motion are not appropriate. Mayor Obie said the direction in the motion is that the staff should report to the council about the specific changes in the motion. Roll call vote; the vote was a tie, 4:4 with Councilors Ehrman, e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 7 Schue, Bascom, and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Holmer, Wooten, Rutan, and Miller voting nay. e Before votihg, Mayor Obie said he supports the motion because the Police, Fire and Emergency Services Department indicated that a diverter would hinder its service while there is construction in the area. He said he will consider a better solution than the test diverter in 1988 if one is presented. He said he is concerned about access to businesses on the Chambers Connector. He said he and the community are committed to retaining the neighborhoods on 5th and 8th avenues. The motion passed, 5:4 with Mayor Obie and Councilors Ehrman, Schue, Bascom, and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Holmer, Wooten, Rutan, and Miller voting nay. Mayor Obie recessed the meeting at 8:55 p.m. and reconvened it about 9 p.m. II. CALL FOR ELECTION--AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT BONDS Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow said the resolution before the council calls for an election on March 31, 1987, on General Obligation Bonds to finance improvements at Mahlon Sweet Airport. He said the council approved $5,719,000 on December 17, 1986, as the City's share of the improvements. He said $111,000 of bond issuance costs were added, bringing the total to $5,830,000. He said the amount approved by the council includes only $5 million from the airlines, does not include money from the Skipper Well grant program, and assumes receipt of Lane County Road Fund money. He said the ~ council may lower the amount of bonds actually issued if the measure passes. Mr. Whitlow said the question and purpose sections of the Notice of Bond Election are controlled by statute. He said the City's Bond Counsel does not recommend that the question or purpose sections of the Notice of Bond Election include statements about the council's intention to use capital budget funds and airport funds to pay the debt service on the bonds. He said legal problems might develop if the statement were included in the notice and the City had to levy a property tax in the future to pay the debt service. Answering questions from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Whitlow discussed the breakdown of funding sources approved by the council on December 17, 1986. He said all the $4.228 million in Federal funds is from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and the $720,000 in State funds is from the lottery. Those funds are all committed. The City has summitted another application for $1,574,000 in Lane County Road Funds and the Ci ty hopes the Ci rcui t Court will approve the application. He said the $500,000 in revenue/expenditure adjustments will come from $200,000 in the Fleet Fund (savings in gas prices) and $300,000 from the Pacific Northwest Bell (PNB) franchise fee. Replying to questions from Mr. Holmer and Mayor Obie, Mr. Whitlow said the airlines that serve Eugene will fund their share of the airport improvements by a revenue bond that will be issued by the City and paid by the airlines. That bond will be separate from the General Obligation Bond for the City's e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 8 e share of the improvements that will be on the March 31 ballot. He said the contract with the airlines is still being negotiated. The airlines will pay financing costs for the bonds issued for their share of the improvements. Mr. Bennett suggested the words "or less" be added after $5,830,000 in the question in the Notice of Bond Election. Dick Roberts represented Lindsey, Hart, Neil, and Weigler, the City's bond counsel. He said the courts have approved the inclusion of the words "not to exceed" in the question in notices of bond elections. He said the council could authorize the issuance of less than $5,830,000 if the measure passes. He discussed the process for authorizing the bonds and the State regulations for the wording of notices of bond elections. Mr. Whitlow said the notice should be as simple as possible so the voters can understand it. Mr. Bennett said the words "or less" would be advantageous politically. City Attorney Tim Sercombe said there would be a question of whether people were voting on bonds for $5,830,000 or bonds for less than $5,830,000 if Mr. Bennett's suggestion is approved. e Res. No. 4018--A resolution of the City of Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, calling a special election to submit to the voters the question of contracting a General Obligation bonded indebtedness in the amount of $5,830,000 to finance construction of airport improvements including terminal building, parking facilities, road system, and incidental costs. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. III. LIMITED RECOGNITION FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced consideration of limited recognition for community orgnizations. Christine Donahue gave the staff report. She said many City issues involve the River Road, Santa Clara, and Glenwood areas and the City staff has worked with the community organizations in those areas. She said the River Road and Santa Clara community organizations asked how they could be recognized by Eugene. Ms. Donahue said limited recognition would permit the River Road, Santa Clara, and Glenwood organizations to receive information and training from the City. Limited recognition would not include funding for newsletters. Answering questions from Mr. Bennett, Ms. Donahue said there are about 600 households in Glenwood and about 8,400 households in the River Road and Santa Cl ara areas. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1987 Page 9 e It e Ms. Wooten said she welcomes limited recognition for the organizations. Mr. Holmer said the City.s interest in having properties in the River Road and Santa Clara. areas voluntarily annexed to the city would be better served by continuing the present informal contacts. He said City recognition of organizations whose members do not live in the city could create a negative reaction from residents in those areas. He said he also does not think neighborhood organizations should be recognized as the "official voice" of the neighborhood. Ms. Schue said the Metro Area General Plan states that people in the River Road, Santa Clara, and Glenwood areas are to become residents of a city because they must be provided city services. She said limited recognition is appropriate because Eugene is an existing city and can provide those residents with information. Res. No. 4019--A resolution adopting a limited neighborhood recognition policy for organizations in the River Road, Santa Clara, and Glenwood areas. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried 7:1 with Councilors Ehrman, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, Rutan, Miller, and Bennett voting aye and Councilor Holmer voting nay. IV. 5TH AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced discussion of improvements to the 5th Avenue area. Rich Weinman of the Development Department gave the staff report. He said the Downtown Plan indicates that the 5th Avenue area will be improved and connected to the rest of the downtown area. The improvements will include sidewalks on the north side of 5th Avenue between Willamette and Pearl streets. Mr. Weinman said the Downtown Commission recommended that the mayor appoint an ad hoc committee to recommended priorities for improvements already budgeted for the 5th Avenue Sped a 1 Di stri ct, to deve lop along-range plan for the district, and to explore funding for improvements to the district. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that the Mayor appoint an ad hoc committee to explore long-term funding options for 5th Avenue landscaping and beautification; to develop a design concept for the future; and to recommend specific projects for completion and that the committee make its final report to the Downtown Commission prior to June 15, 1987. Mayor Obie said he will recommended that the council confirm the appointments to avoid a possible conflict of interest. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0.
