I - Public Hearings
A. Appeal from Planning Commission decision granting preliminary approval for
Parkway PUD, 23rd and Wi1larnette (Morgan)(PD 75-8)
Parkway PUD - Council has received copy of May 4 HCDC official report which
supports use of $60,000 of revenue sharing funds for this single-parent
development.
Manager announced that the developer has withdrawn his proposal for the project
as of May 17, for financial reasons and because of the controversial nature
of the project.
Mrs. Niven, Joint Housing Comndttee, asked for Council direction on whether
it wished the funds to be held in reserve for the sallE type of housing
assistance.
Carl Applebaum, 68 W. 25th, read a statement on behalf of the Friendly Area
Neighbors, the WOllEn's Comndssion and other individuals in opposition to
the project. They do not consider the developer's withdrawal to be a victory,
he said. They wish to generate other proposals to aid in the implementation
of a sinrilar housing project so that the urgent needs can be met for
livable housing for single parents. They regret the necessity to oppose
the project but did so because of glaring deficiencies. They urge all
interested to unite in future efforts.
Mr~. ~hirey would like to see the funds reserved for a project of the same
typ.].
Mr. Murray concurred and is also convinced there were concerns raised that
were valid. Instead of continuing one force against the other, he would
hope all parties could COllE together and work constructively, realizing the
funds arelimi ted.
Mr. Williams commented that the Joint Housing Comndttee looked very hard and
long at a decent possible project and thought they had arrived at one. He
is not sure that one is creatible that will satisfy everyone's requirements
at the moment.
Mrs. Niven commented that th~ only realistic way to have child care facilities
is to have large concentrations of people. The Comnd ttee is willing to work
with anyone bringing proposals which might be economically feasible.
~~~
5/24/76 - 1
Mrs. Shirey moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to request the Joint Housing
Committee to reserve the funds for a single-parent project.
Mr. Williams questioned reserving funds when proposals for other types of
housing may be presented.
With consent of the second, Mrs. Shirey changed the motion to include
a time limi t of six months. Vote was taken on the motion as changed
which carried, Mr. Hamel, Mr. Murray, Mrs. Shirey and Mrs. Beal voting
aye and Mr._Williams voting no.
Manager noted that the applicant, Wes Morgan, had withdrawn his proposal for
this project (see committee minutes above), hence the public hearing was
terminated.

Motion carried unanimously.
D. Appeal from Building/Housing Code Board of Appeals grant of variances for
property at 2164 Floral Hill Drive (Pembroke)
Appeal submitted by Robert W. Morris, 2280 Floral Hill Drive, et al.
Manager explained that the property had changed ownership since filing of the
appeal by Robert W. Morris and other neighbors. The new owner is Terry Gross,
he said.
Mick Nolte, superintendent of building inspection, described the property, two
small separate buildings owned by Mrs. Eileen Pembroke who requested variance on
ceiling height and doorway clearances in the smaller of the two buildings. The
Housing/Building Board granted the variance (April 21) on the condition that
other deficiencies in the building were corrected. On May 12, he continued,
housing inspection of the larger dwelling revealed several housing code defi-
ciencies. Since that time, the new property owner has been in contact with the
building and legal staffs. Mr. Nolte stated staff's position that enforcement of
the building and housing codes was not at issue at this time; that would proceed
as appropriate as an administrative matter. If no variance is granted, the build-
ings will have to be brought to code standards. The new owner is trying to comply,
he said, and should he fail to act in a reasonable period of time, staff will pro-
ceed with abatement action.
Stan Long, assistant city attorney, explained that although this hearing did not
come under Fasano regulations, the burden of proof would be upon the appellants.
Manager commented that the administration and neighbors were hoping that the
buildings were either repaired promptly or eliminated.
Public hearing was opened.
Dennis Vettres, 2155 Floral Hill Drive, one of the appellants, said that when the
variances were granted it appeared economically unfeasible to repair the build-
ing to meet code requirements. He thought the smaller building should be removed,
then the larger dwelling could be repaired, using the money that would have gond
into the smaller building. He asked that the appeal be upheld.
Terr: Gross, Lowell, Oregon, new owner of the property, explained that he had
bought the property as an investment, planning to repair the buildings for rental
income to make payments on the property until a new building could be built. He
was satisfied he could repair the buildings without economic hardship if the
variances were granted. Without the variances, costly repairs would be involved -
raising ceiling heights, doorways, etc. Proposed repairs, he said, would bring
the building to code requirements. He noted a petition he had circulated among
neighbors and submitted to the manager's office in favor of the proposed rehabili-
tation, including the deficiencies for which the variances had been granted by
the Board of Appeals. He urged the Council to uphold the Board's decision to
permit work to go ahead that would provide additional housing in the area.
Councilman Bradley entered the meeting.
Alan Scott, attorney, 101 East Broadway, retained by Mr. Gross, cited the number
of variances granted by the Board on other projects in the past, and said that
&6"1
5/24/76 - 3
basically the ones requested would permit lower ceiling and door heights than
required by code. He stated Mr. Gross' intention of maintaining the building
in a habitable condition that would be a credit to the city.
An unidentified young lady, 2068Yz Garden Avenue, stated her belief that the ceiling tIJ.
and door heights as ~roposed would be adequate and would not detract from the dwell- I-A-7
as a good place to llve.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel to deny the appeal and uphold the
decision of the Building/Housing Code Board of Appeals to grant the
variances as requested.
Councilwoman Shirey asked whether a health hazard was involved. Mick Nolte, super-
intendent of building inspection, answered that the question of health hazard
could be addressed in rehabilitating the building in line with code requirements.
Councilman Haws, stating that the only issues apparently were ceiling and door
heights, felt the appellant had not met the burden of proof. Councilman Murray
concurred and sai~ he felt there was not substantial reason to deny the variances,
all that was necessary was that the dwelling be safe and inhabitable in other ways.
Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried, all Council
members present voting aye, except Councilman Bradley abstaining.
E. Panhandle Lot Policy
Panhandle Lot Policy - Copies of pro[XJsed revision of policy statement were previously",
distributed and some Council members viewed examples of panhandle lots on tour. Jim ~
Saul, planner, explained the city has had a policy statement since 1973. There have -
been two problems with it; the Planning Commission had to designate a particular
area as appropriate for that type of development, and resulting lots had to be
approximately the same size as existing lot sizes in the immediate area. The
problem was that the Planning COmnUssion had only designated the State Street area
as appropriate. Staff was required to judge all other requests in comparison to
lot sizes in the areas in question.
In reviewing the policy, said Mr. Saul, it became evident that there is conflict
between the restrictive policy on panhandle lots and the concepts of the 1990 Plan
to encourage more efficient utilization of property. The proposed policy statement
recognizes the intent of the 1990 Plan to encourage efficient land use while
acknowledg_~llg the expressed desire of neighborhoods to maintain their character.
The recom dation provides ways in which that can be enhanced, including parcel
size, type of setback standards for driveways, screening requirements, etc.
Mr. Saul added that the division of land through the panhandle process is
simply one mechanism for intensive land utilization within the city. The
Planning Cummission will be hearing a proposal June 1 in conjunction with
this which will consider a technique of allowing more than single-family
developolent on larger parcels.
Mrs. Shirey asked about the relationship between this matter and street
access into undeveloped areas. She feels the two should be considered
together.
Mr. Saul responded that it is possible to address both together but that
the problem of access into streets is much more complex and is requiring
extensive staff treatment before it can be considered.

Jim Saul, planner, reviewed development of standards adopted in 1973 covering
creation of panhandle lot subdivisions. Under those standards, he said, only one
area - States Streets area - was designated as appropriate for this type subdivi-
sion. As a result, applications for panhandle lot subdivisions were recommended
by staff on the basis of the lots in surrounding areas, leading to appeals and
endless debate on what constituted panhandle lots. Because of that problem, he
said, the Commission voted to reconsider the policy for creation of panhandle lots.
Mr. Saul read the revised standards as set out in the Planning Commission report
of April 6, 1976, copies of which were previously distributed to Council members,
and recommended for adoption by unanimous vote of the Commission.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel to adopt the revised panhandle lot policy
as recommended. Rollcall vote. Motion carried, all Council members present
voting aye.

1. Area east of Onyx, west of North Shasta Loop - From RA to RA-SR (Powell)(Z 76-6)
Recommended by the Planning Commission on April 6, 1976. Jim Saul, planner,
described the approximately two acres located at the eastern edge of the city on
relatively steep slopes east of Amazon Parkway. He said site review procedures
were requested by the applicant to allow cluster units with a maximum density of
four units to the acre on the lower portions of the property where there was the
least degree of slope, retaining the upper, steeper slopes as open space. Mr.Saul
noted some concern expressed by Commission members that building a full four units
per acre may not be the best development, but it was decided that factor could be
reviewed when specific plans for development were submitted under the site review
procedures. The rezoning was recommended with the feeling that it responded best
to the natural conditions of the site.
e.
Councilwoman Shirey expressed concern about the density because of the amount of
property that was unusable due to the steep terrain. She urged careful review
of the density under the site review procedures.
No ex parte contacts or conflicts of ;nterest were.declared by Counci+ members.
Planning Commission staff notes and mlnutes of Aprll 6, 1976 were recleved
as part of this record by reference thereto. 5/24/76 _ 5
jt:,~
Public hearing was opened.
William Powell, owner of the property, said that building even four units to the
acre on a two-acre site would result in less density than now exists in that area _ ~
about 4.43 units per acre. He said he had agreed to retain a landscape architect,
one of the requirements specified by the Planning Commission, so that open space
would be maintained as well as aesthetics of the property as they now exist.
A gentleman living at 3984 Onyx Street was opposed to continuing Onyx Street and
allowing multiple-family housing in this area of single-family residences. He said
the street was originally planned as a hammerhead turnaround, and he could see no way
for it to accommodate two-way traffic with parking on both sides. He didn't under-
stand why people owning property there now should have to pay for improvement of that
street to facilitate the use of one person's property.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Council Bill No. 1138 - Rezoning to RA-SR area east of Onyx Street and west
of North Shasta Loop was read by council bill number
and title only, there being no Council member present requesting that it be
read in full.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning as
set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 6, 1976 be
adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by
council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that
enactment be considered at this time.
Councilman Haws asked if staff
Mr. Saul cited recent projects
Heights - with which there had
had encountered any problems with cluster deve1opments.~
- one at Laurelhurst and Royal, and one off Hawkins ~
~
been no problems with the cluster development approach.
In response to Councilman Bradley, Mr. Saul said approval of this rezoning did not
constitute approval of the cluster subdivision, that would take place when plans
were submitted during site review procedures. Rezoning does not automatically
approve subdivision or a development plan, he said. It is the midway point and is
essential in the process of developJjlent through the site review procedures.
Councilman Murray asked about the question raised on city policy with regard to
payment for street improvements. Don Allen, public works director, said property
on Onyx Street other than that directly involved in the subdivision would not be
assessed for the extension except one corner property.
Councilman fradley asked how the public need would be satisfied with this rezoning,
what criter~a was used for that determination. Mr. Saul answered that public need
was dealt with only when going from one zone to a more intensive use, not when
applying site review procedures. In this instance, he said, attachment of the SR
suffix actually would result in more restrictive use. He called attention to
standards set out in Planning Commission staff notes.
Vote was taken on the motion for adoption of findings and second reading
as stated. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second
time by council bill number only.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that the bill be approved and given
final passage. Rollcall vote. All Council members present voting aye,
the bill was declared passed and numbered 17634.

2. Area between James Road and Delta Highway, north of Goodpasture Island Road _
From AGT (County) to R-2 PD (City) - Emerald Delta (2 76-4)
Recommended by the Planning Commission on April 6, 1976. Jim Saul, planner, ex-
plained that this zone change request was submitted pursuant to a General Plan
amendment changing the entire northern area of Goodpasture Island from an
opportunity area to one appropriate for medium-density residential development.
The area on which R-2 PD is recommended consists of about 43 acres, annexed to
the city in March 1975 and retaining the County AGT zone until this time.
Medium-density development would permit 18 units per acre. Mr. Saul added that
the area is within the preliminary Wi11amette Greenway boundary as adopted by
LCDC, but that review of that could be covered in the planned unit development
process.
No ex parte contact or conflict of interest were declared by Council
members. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 6, 1976
were received as part of this record by reference thereto.
Public hearing was opened.

Robert Moulton, 260 East 11th Avenue, representing Emerald Delta, asked that a
petition containing information with respect to conformity of the proposed zone
with the General Plan and need for multiple-family housing be included as part
of the testimony, as well as staff recommendations to the Planning Commission.
Darrell Smith, architect, 725 Country Club Road, identified himself as a member
of the design team and co-ordinator for development of the property under planned
unit development procedures. He urged favorable action by the Council, saying
all urban services were available and that traffic could be adequately accommodated.
e
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Council Bill No. 1139 - Rezoning area between James Road and Delta
Highway, north of Goodpasture Island Road
to R-2 PD was read by council bill number and title only, there being
no Council member present requesting that it be read in full.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning as set
out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 6, 1976 be adopted
by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill
number only, with unani~ous consent of the Council; and that enactment be con-
sidered at this time.
Councilman Murray commented that this was the first zone change considered in
all the time he had been a Council member which he felt was "really good."
e
Counck1man Bradley wondered if existing services could handle the 774 dwelling
unites proposed for the development of this property. Mr. Saul answered that
although the applicants had submitted a pre-preliminary application for a PUD
indicating that as a possible number of units, and even though that density
(18.62 units per acre) theoretically would be allowed, the proposal had not yet
been reviewed through the PUD process. There would be a number of considerations,
he said, that would affect the ultimate density of the project. With regard to
services, the density was predicated on the fact that this area is extremely well
served - the freeway system, Valley River shopping center, fire services, etc.
In further response to Councilman Bradley, Mr. Saul said a number of considera-
tions were involved with regard to need for housing which was included in the
information presented by Mr. Moulton, some being statements contained in the
city's own application for CD funds indicating a need for additional housing.

5/24/76 - 7
He didn't anticipate that the entire piece of property would be developed in the
next three to six months, but he thought it important to look at this zone change
as a basic change that would start the development of medium-density housing in
the northern Goodpasture Island area.

Vote was taken on the motion for adoption of findings and second
reading as stated. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was
read the second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that the bill be approved and
given final passage. Rollcall vote. All'Council members present
voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 17635.
3. Southwest corner of Clark and Lawrence - From R-2 to R-3 PD (Ansola)(Z 76-5)
Recommended by the Planning Commission on April 13, 1976. Jim Saul, planner,
described this property as a quarter-block of about a half-acre lying in an area
covered by an amendment to the General Plan adopted in September 1975 where high-
density was felt appropriate rather than the previous medium-density designation.
Limitations adopted at the time of the amendment were that (1) maximum density
would be 36 units per acre; (2) minimum area to be considered for anyone zone
change would be a quarter-block of contiguous property; (3) site ~eview or planned
unit development procedures would be required, primarily PUD when residential
zoning abuts industrial zoning. Since this property abuts industrial zoning,
the Commission attached the PUD requirement for review prior to actual development.
Maximum number of units would be 17 per acre.

No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Council
members. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 13, 1976

P~blic hearing was opened.
a
Max Ansola, 2601 Laurelhill Drive, owner of the property, called attention to the
property's location near to the downtown area with all urban services available.
Suzanne Bier, 410 Clark Street, commented on the unique location - bounded by a
freeway and Skinner Butte - with only Lawrence Street as a way out, and that
street already heavily loaded with traffic. She felt allowing 17 units per acre
at that location would create a hazard.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Council Bill No. 1140 - Rezoning southwest corner of Clark Street and
Lawrence Street to R-3 PD was read by council
bill number and title only, there being no Council member present re-
questing that it be read in full.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning
as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 13,1976
be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by
council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that
enactment be considered at this time.
Councilman Haws asked for staff comment on locating R-3 zoning next to M-2 zoning,
and whether the M-2 was now developed. Mr. Saul answered that there was some con-
cern in the Commission about the effect of industrial development on the density
that eQuId develop under R-3. However, it was felt the PUD process would ensure
a maximum degree of compatibility. He said the first property south of that under
consideration had an older hous~, and that there was some industrial development
at the intersection of 1st and Lawrence.

5/24/76 - 8
~~~
e
Councilman Bradley questioned the appropriateness of high-density development
next to industrial. He said he recognized the housing shortage but didn't think
it a panic or crisis situation calling for packing more people next to an M-2 zone.
He wondered if medium-density would be better here, then looking to other loca-
tions where high-density would be more suitable. Mr. Saul didn't see this rezon-
ing recommendation as a panic response in light of the lengthy hearings before
both the Commission and the Council with regard to the density level in this
area when -the General Plan was amended. And consideration at that time, he
said, was not so much the need for housing as it was the location of this par-
ticular area. While it was close to a freeway and industrial zoning, it was
also the best area in terms of proximity to park areas and downtown with bus
service and immediate access to bike trails. This zone change, then, in a sense,
was carrying out the basic decision to develop high~density housing in this area
when the Plan amendment was adopted.
Councilman Murray took exception to the statement that this could be a "crisis"
or "crash" program after the time taken on the General Plan amendment with re-
gard to this area. In addition, he said, a careful increase in density would
lead to some property improvement and provide a firmer resistance to industrial
encroachment in an area like this, especially important when it happens near apark.
Vote was taken on the motion for adoption of findings and second
reading as stated. All Council members present voted aye, except
Councilman Bradley voting no, which would hold the bill over for
second reading, lacking unanimous consent.
Mr. Bradley, recognizing that his "no" vote on second reading would only cause
a two-week delay, asked for the vote to be recast. There were no objections.

Vote was recast on the motion for adoption of findings and second

read the second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that the bill be approved and given
final passage. Rollcall vote. All Council members present voting aye,
except Councilman Bradley voting no, the bill was declared passed and
nubmered 17636.

4. Area between Madison and Jefferson south of Southern Pacific tracks _
From t:-2 to SD-Special District (Jefferson Elevator)(Z 76-7)
Recommended by the Planning Commission on April 13, 1976. Jim Saul, planner,
noted that this was the second application (the first - 5th between Pearl and
High) for the Special District zoning adopted in 1973 with intent that it be used
sparj 'gly and only when certain criteria was met. Findings were made, he said,
with regard to the unique quality of the area and the old grain elevator that
would merit special recognition (itemized in staff notes); no other standard
zone designation was found to be appropriate; and certain elements, all contained
in the Planning Commission report, covered a description of the district, uses
permitted, and development standards. Mr. Saul continued that the owners intend
to place primary emphasis on manufacture and sale of craft articles as well as
education relating thereto. Also proposed are restaurnats and other functions
serving the larger community. Because of a concern with available space for
parking, the Commission recommended an automatic review process which would
permit 32 on-site parking spaces with the initial development (first floor).
Later development would require review through the conditional use process with
particular emphasis on the parking experience and the type of parking to be pro-
vided for additional development. He said it was hope later to convert the silo
into office or residential use, and that would be permitted under this district
with review through subsequent hearings.

ijublic hearing was opened.
Willi\lm Carlstrom, 1091 West Broadway, and two other persons (unidentified)
spoke in favor of the special district zoning for the elevator. They noted
the probable availability of abuttingproperty for additional parking as well
as other properties in the immediate vicinity on which negotiations were
proceeding. They felt the proposed development would avoid isolation of that
area from the rest of the community.

Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
~ouncil Bill No. 1141 - Rezoning area between Madison Street and
Jefferson Street south of Southern Pacific
tracks to SD-Special District was read by council bill number and
title only, there being no Council member present requesting that
it be read in full.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning
as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 13,
1976 be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second
time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Cbuncil;
and that enactment be considered at this time.
Councilman Murray thought the proposal an extraordinary one and was in favor
a
of the Special District zoning, but he expressed the hope that the developers .,
would be cautious in the way it was handled. He said there was strong interest
in maintaining and improving that as a primarily residential area and he wanted
to make sure that it would not be a case of backing into something that would
have a negative effect on that effort. He said he was expressing this caution
because, although he was sure of the intent of those interested in this develop-
ment, it was easy "in the nalTle of something good" to create problems that may
be impossible to overcome.
Councilman Bradley wondered why the industrial zone could not be amended to in-
clude the uses permitted in the Special District rather than having the separate
designation. Mr. Saul answered that it wasn't solely a question of uses. There
would be necessary a much more critical change for parking requirements, types
of uses, etc., he said, and extending those types of changes to all industrial
zones jr the city would not be recommended. He noted that prior to adoption of
the 1968 zoning ordinance many districts, particularly M-2, allowed a whole
range of uses permitted in other districts. However, problems were created be-
caus~ those people developing under the industrial uses felt once .an area was
designated for industrial uses, they should not be harrassed by their neighbors.
This was happening when commercial and residential uses came in after an industrial
use was developed.
Vote was taken on the motion for the adoption of findings and
second reading. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read
the second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that the bill be approved and
given final passage. Rollcall vote. All Council members present
voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 17637.

Don Allen, public works director, reviewed the bids, calling attention to only one
bid received on No.4 (bicycle way along south bank ~ the Willamette River), although
there were eight plan holders. On No.5 (bicycle rffi ' and bridge widening from Ferry
Street bridge into Alton Baker Park), he noted that ( lane of traffic on the bridge

would probably be tied up during various stages of the construction. However, a
control system was being worked out in an attempt to have traffic lanes open at
all times during peak travel hours. He said a guardrail similar to that on the
Washington/Jefferson bridge would be installed with a two-foot railing on top,
giving four-foot protection to pedestrians and bicyclists. Award of contract was
recommended to the low bidder on each of the projects, with award on the bike ramp
made on the basic bid plus the additional alternate, and on both bicycle way pro-
jects subject to approval of the State >>ighway Department since they are sharing
in the cost ($45,000 on the South Bank path; $70,000 on the ramp).
Public hearing was held with nO testimony presented.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel to award contracts as recommended.

II - Items acted upon with on motion after discussion of individual items as requested.

Savings and Loan). Map has been distributed to Council.

Al Wright, LCOG, explained that the Metro Sewer Advisory Co~ssion has acquired
funds through an EPA Water Quality Grant to conduct the Eugene-Springfield Metro
Sewer Alternative Study. It is to be the final resolution of a controversy going
on for some years. A consultant has been hired, the Co~ssion has screened
alternatives and the next step is to hold public meetings, with a three-jurisdictional
decision to be made in September. The public meetings will be Wednesday, May 19,
in Eugene, and Wednesday, May 26, in Springfield. Following the public meetings at
which time discussion will be held on five different alternatives, the Commission
will select the most practical alternatives. In late July, the Commission will
make a decision as to the alternative IOC>st feasible for the Metro area. A
formal public hearing will then be held and, based on the results, the Co~ssion
will make a final selection and submi tit to the three. jurisdictions for
approval. The decision sent to EPA must be unanimous among the three jurisdictions
to be eligible for federal construction funds.
Mrs... BeaI moved seconded by Mrs. Shirey to adopt the procedure as
outline.. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Growth Management Study - --lie;.oc;-oT-Ma.y-7 from Community GOaiS- COnlmittee and
memo of May 24 from Planning Department have been distributed to Council.
Mrs. Niv~n explained there has been no concurrence from other jurisdictions
about undertaking a growth study. She referred to the first Community
Goals Comndttee recommendation that a study be undertaken of the implications
of expanding the city limits and/or the urban service boundary of the metro
area as it relates to Eugene's sphere of influence. There are implications
involved, she said, about which nothing is known - such as other jurisdictions
not setting a policy on their own city limits expansion. The second
recommendation, she said, was recommending a study of the economic and social
implications of promoting residential and commercial development in the
Central area. There, too, there is a need to know how much Eugene can influence
what happens by sorting out techniques.

Mrs. Niven concluded the Community Goals Comndttee favors a permanent green
belt around the urban area and wants that further pursued through the joint
parks committee.
Mayor Anderson wondered what was meant by the Central area. Mrs. Niven replied
it meant basically from Chambers to the University campus boundary and from
the river to 18th.
Mrs. Niven noted $20,000 has been set aside for use for the growth study.
Manager clarified that the next step would be for staff to come back with more
elaboration and then proceed upon Council's approval.
There was Council consensus that some statement about the costs of growth
be included. Mrs. Beal said she would want to see something which referred to
the cost of urban services as it relates to Eugene's growth management. Mr.
Murray felt, too, that consideration should be given to what impact growth
will have on the rest of the community - what will be sacrificed, etc.
Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to adopt the two growth
management studies as recommended, adding the statement "including
the cost of urban service extension" after "economic and social
implications" in recommendation No.2. Motion carried unanimously.

D. Social Priorities Committee - Memo of May 5 from Community Goals Committee
has been distributed to Council.
Mr. Murray explained that the original socials goals committee, formed in 1970,
had gone defunct. In 1974, during the Community Goals conference, the issue
resurfaced which lead to a proposal for the creation of the Social Priorities
Committee. Mr. Murray said the intent was to structure the membership of the
comndttee with persons having interest and expertise. Suggested were one Council
member, one Planning commissioner, one HRC representative, one Budget Committee
member and a public member of HCDC. Appointment of the chairman and perhaps even
other members to be made by the Council. The Committee's charge would be to
make recommendations to the City Council.
Mrs. Beal suggested perhaps the Human Rights Council could serve as the committee.
It was the general feeling, however, that too much work would be invol ved and the
areas would be too broad.
Asst. Manager could see a major staff comndtment to the project. He felt it would
take much attention to avoid too much work and to develop something streamlined
and sirp l-a to put before the Council.
It was generally agreed that the list of recommendations of the Committee could
be flexible.
Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Community Goals Committee
recommendations be accepted and a committee be appointed. Motion
ca rried unanimously.

Comment ~as made that the name of the committee brought inquiries from people
assuming that the committee would deal primarily with social services whereas
it really would deal with all city services - police, fire, parks, etc.
Betty Niven, 3940 Hilyard, suggested that the Council decide on a different name.
"City Services" seemed to her the most desirable and least likely to be misunderstood.
Mr. Murray moved second by Mr. Hamel to rename the committee "City
Services Priorities Committee."
~7oif
5/24/76 - 13
Councilwoman Beal thought the same problem could be encountered with the suggested
name. She said the functions of the committee would have to be considered a little
more closyly than that.
Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried unanimously.
E. Elks Flag Request - Manager has received a request from the Eugene Elks Lodge
to erect 25' flag poles every 25 feet along Centennial Blvd. from the bridge
by FOps to the turn past Autzen Stadium in recognition of a 2l-day flag salute
from June 14, Flag Day, until July 4, declared by the Congress of the united
States.
Public Works Director noted the right-of-way on that stretch is all under
coun~y jurisdiction and the County Commissioners have already granted their
approval for the project.
Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to gi ve conceptual approval
to the Elks' project and authorize city staff to issue any permits
as needed. Motion carried unanimously.
F. Amendment, EWEB Bond Election Ordinance - Manager noted the bond attorney
is requesting an ordinance be prepared which deletes reference to the
issuance of a voters' pamphlet, as it has been determined that there is no
need for one.
Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. williams to prepare an amending
ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.
G.
~lace Hotel - A summary of the proposed contract between Sorgenfri and the
City for operation of the Palace Hotel was distributed to Council. Council
action is desired by the next Council meeting to allow consummation of the
contract by May 28.
Don Laird, City Attorney's office, explained that Sorgenfri is buying the
Palace Hotel for $155,000. The City will subsidize the purchase with revenue
sharing and community development funds, stipulating the residential
establishment is to be maintained for low-income elderly persons. The 20-year
agreement provides for rent controls, preservation as an historic structure,
establishment of eligibility requirements and meal service. The agreement
provides for a grant by the City of $33,000, $20,893 contingency for
operation, $58,057 for rehabilitation. If Sorgenfri should default, the
City would manage the project for the duration to protect its interests.
TheCitq would not guarantee the debt, however.
Mr. Laird explained that a grant from Lane County is to be used to purchase
kitchen equipment. The County will help with the nutrition program also.
Though the facilities are considered too small to serve as a central nutrition
site, they will serve the hotel as a nutrition site five days a week.
MrS.Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams to authorize the City Manager
to execute the contract in accordance with the principals recited.
Motion carried unanimously.

K. Ambulance and Mobilchair Rates - Increased rate proposal from applicant has
been distributed to Council.
e_
Mr. Hamel, who served on the Eugene/Springfield commi ttee to review the proposal,
noted that the basic fee for ambulance service in 1967 was $28.00. $62.50 has
now been requested by Mr. Leonard of the ambulance service, but the committee
felt that Mr. Leonard's increased costs would not justify that amount and have
recommended instead a base rate of $55.00. Mr. Hamel noted, too, that the committee
wrote to other cities for comparable information. Some of that data is yet to
come back.
Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to schedule a public hearing for
June 14 to consider ambulance service rates as presented, with the exception
of changing the base rate from $62.50 to $55.00 and with the understanding
that Mr. Hamel mey receive pertinent information from other cities in the

Q.1Ylanning COmrrUssion Vacancy - Mrs. Shirey noted that Mr. Reeder's Planning
COmrrUssion term would expire next January 1 and she said Alan Maxwell,
COmnUssion president, had suggested that the selection of a replacement
take place as soon as possible to give the appointee an opportunity to become
acquain+."ri with the process before the term begins. Mrs. Beal thought it
might ] - ~air to select the second place candidate in the appointment just
completed.
Mayor Anderson felt appointing now would appear to be a departure from the
procedure adopted by Council. Mr. Murray felt the application process should
be opened up again, asking those who have already applied if they wish to
keep their applications active.
Mrs. Niven felt Council might want to consider the type of financial expertise
that would be lost by the departure of Mr. Reeder as a factor in appointing
a replacement.
-
Mayor Anderson noted a political factor - that, by appointing later in the
year, new Council members have an opportunity to participate in the selection
process and then the Planning Commission would reflect the new Council's
philosophy. He feels the present selection system is satisfactory and that

labor for the project. They request city support and suggest asking various
garbage collection companies to donate the USe of trash containers. He notes
the entire job could be done in one month by dividing the city into districts.
The Senior Lobby is aware that various neighborhood groups have undertaken
some cleanup in their own neighborhoods; however, there are many areas left
untouched.
Manager noted he has contacted Mr. SWanson of the Garbage Board who may
communicate with the garbage haulers on possible assistance. Given the late
date, such a cleanup would have to be undertaken in the Fall or next Spring.
Mr. George Graf of the Senior Lobby added sentiments that their group is
anxious and most willing to get the "show on the road".
s. Street Trees - Mrs. Shirey wondered what progress was being made on writing
a street trees ordinance.
Ed Smi th, Parks Director, noted that the neighborhood organizations have had
increased interest in the program and there has been some refocusing on a
planting program as against drafting a regulatory ordinance.
Manager added that Communi ty Development Act funding is making it possible to
have new street tree planting in various neighborhoods so that is one of
the reasons the emphasis has changed.

Councilmen Hamel, Murray, and Bradley stated they had missed some of the meetings at
which this issue was discussed, but that they had reviewed minutes of those meetings
and would participate in the voting. Mr. Murray noted he had also listened to the
tape recording of the meeting he had missed.
Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning
as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of January 6 and
March 29, 1976 be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be approved
and given final passage..
Councilman Murray said he would vote against the zone change because he felt pl,lblic
need had not been demonstrated. The area involved had ample access to existing
commercial services, he said.
Councilman Bradley was also opposed to the change. He felt the criteria dealing
with neighborhood commercial use was not satisfied by this request.
Rollcall vote was taken on adoption of findings, approval and passage.
Motion defeated - Council members Beal and Hamel voting aye; Council
members Haws, Murray, Bradley, and Shirey voting no.
Mr. flaws moved second by Mr. Murray to direct staff to prepare findings ~
supporting denial of the requested zone change based on minutes of the ~
Planning Commission, Council public hearing, and comments at this meeting.
Councilman Bradley felt additional comments should be made by those opposed to
the rezoning to give staff an indication of their thinking. Mr. Haws said his
vote was on the basis of adequate existing commercial services available to the
area and lack of demonstration for public need. Councilwoman Shirey stated the
same reasons.
Vote was taken on the motion to prepare negative findings. Motion
carried - Council members Haws, Murray, Bradley, Hamel, and Shirey
