Manager said the properties had recently been annexed to the city
and it was ,necessary to withdraw from the water district to
avoid paying bonding to two water districts. Jim Saul, Planning

C. Appeal of Planning Commission Denial of zone change; located between
9th Place and 10th Avenue West, west of Hayes Street (Updegrave)
(Z 77-16) from RA to C-2.
e Denial recommended by Planning Commission April 12, 1977. Mr. Saul
reported the property totaled 31,800 square feet and reviewed location
for Council. There are several residences on the property, and less
than half of the property is presently zoned C-2, with that C-2
property vacant. He referred Council to staff notes and minutes
submitted by the Planning Commission and Planning Department staff.
If the request were approved, the purpose would be to develop the
property with varying commercial uses and the subject property would
be developed as a parking area to serve these uses. When the Planning
Commission considered the matter, it determined the proposed request
was not consistent with the General Plan for the area, and there was
no adequate public need shown. Council had received materials and an
appeals statement from Mr. Gleaves. James Bernhard, Planning Commission,
was available to answer questions.
Vernon D. Gleaves, attorney, 975 Oak Street, represented the applicant.
The property for the requested zone change consisted of the east half
of the block bounded on the west by Garfield Street, and on the east
by Hayes Street, between 9th Place and 10th Avenue. Mr. Updegrave's
business is located south across 10th Avenue from the subject property
and his need to expand that business was,the primary reason for the
zone change request. The proposed expansion would provide additional
parts storage space. Due to City Code requirements, the addition of
5,000+ square feet also necessitates provision for more parking
spaces. Mr. Updegrave would seek to utilize the rezoned property
e for that additional parking.
t)/J 6/27/77--3
Mr. Bradley arrived.
Mr. Gleaves said there were a number of residences on part of the -
property which could not be rehabilitated. The City had reviewed the
houses' exteriors, and indicated none were presently fit for human
inhabitation and were not economically convertable as residences and
would have to be removed. Mr. Gleaves presented to Council a number
of pictures showing the deteriorated condition of the houses.
He said the property was presently zoned RA, and reviewed for Council
the City's description of RA zoning. He said it was obviously
apparent the area was not semi-rural, as required in the RA
zoning, and the existing zoning was thus obviously wrong. It was
felt that C-2 zoning would be more appropriate for this piece of
property.
As for compliance to the General Plan, Mr. Gleaves said that issue
was not clear cut. He said there was high density in the area,
and the Plan had not been refined for that area. The Plan did
not show neighborhood commercial or strip commercial, nor did it
accurately reflect industrial or commercial growth in the area.
He said the trend in the area had been to include commercial develop-
ment, and he submitted it would be inappropriate land use to
have a residential development running through the mid-block against
C-2 zoning without an alley or a buffer zone. He said his client
was presently faced with spending close to $200,000 to improve and
expand the facilities, and he did not have sufficient parking to
meet the city building code. There was no property nearby avail- e
able for Mr. Updegrave to use. He said the question to be faced
was placing parking on prime commercially-zoned land. He sub-
mitted that the rezoning would allow a better land use, and felt
the situation was one of facing whether or not this property
would be developed with some type of new development. He said
it was not a suitable location for some type of high density
development. He noted the business was an asset to the City's
business community, and a public need for continuation of the
business could be very clearly established. .
He believed the City Council had supported zone changes to permit
existing businesses to expand and said this zone change request
would be consistent with past policy. Protection for the neighbors
in the area could be accomplished with site review attached to
the zoning. He reiterated he believed RA zoning was inappropriate
and believed commercial zoning would be more appropriate. He re-
viewed the public need aspect to continue the business and the
unavailability of other land in the area for that purpose. Other
zone changes in the area had been opposed by neighboring residences,
but none opposed this zone change.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
Mr. Saul referred Council to the staff notes and minutes, saying
the basic issues the Planning Commission and staff had felt important .
were addressed there. In regard to the question of public need,
he said the City Council was being asked to rezone one-half block
51~ 6/27/77--4
e of property residential so the applicant did not have to use
another half-block for parking. He said the parking could be
accommodated on one-half of that half-block without any form of
zone change. The issue remained whether there was a public need
for a zone change and whether the change would be compatible with
the General Plan.
Ms. Smith questioned Mr. Gleaves as to how many residences still
existed on the property. Mr. Gleaves responded there were five
residences remaining, one of which had been condemned; the four
remaining buildings had been inspected and considered to be fire
traps and should not be inhabited.
Mr. Haws understood the parking'was needed for expansion of the
business. He said Council was being asked to rezone more property
than was needed, and wondered whether that could be used for any
commercial purpose. He also wondered whether there was land avail-
able for parking. Mr. Saul replied yes, the land could be used
for any commercial purpose. He said the packet received by Council
included a map showing the property available, noting it was the
northeast corner of 10th and Garfield.
Mr. Hamel questioned whether the business would be expanded within
the building itself. Mr. Gleaves replied the building expansion
would take place to the east of the existing building. There
e would not be space available for parking with the expansion to
the east. He said to comply with City Code, the business would
need a total of 28 spaces with a warehouse addition.
Mr. Obie wondered whether it would be possible to get a conditional
use permit for parking in an RA zone, and whether there was a transi-
tory use in an RA zone. Mr. Saul replied no to both questions.
Mr. Willams wondered whether any work had been done to establish
whether the 28 parking spaces were needed for conducting the business
and whether any thought had been given to applying for a variance.
Mr. Gleaves said ther~ was no real connected need for 28 parking
spaces for this business, as the front-end sales would be conducted
as they were at present. However, there would be only six parking
spaces left, and the business would still be faced with the City Code
regulations.
Ken Nagao, architect, said the determination for 28 parking spaces
came from a ratio between commercial space, office space, and storage
area. He said 18 parking spaces were needed without the expansion,
and the business was presently using a field across the street. He
said the property had storage and retail sales on the eastern portion
of the building, and that portion could be converted to parking to
allow vacation of parking across the street, this being the reason
for the requested zone change. In using the western portion of the
e block for parking, prime commercial space would be used. He said
the plans were to put the parking at the rear of the lot and land-
scape the front, noting this as the reason for requesting C-2 zoning
with site review.
$13 6/27/77--5
Mr. Gleaves noted there had been only three Planning Commission --
members who voted on this denial and felt it was not a proper
representation of the full Planning Commission. He also pointed
out the presentation made before the Planning Commission had been
by a real estate person who was more concerned with trying to
show what he was going to do with the commercial land that showiong
the needs and priorities of Mr. Updegrave. Mr. Gleaves reminded
Council' that the business had been in its present location for
over 15 years and offered a service which was the only one of its
kind in Eugene. The need to expand the existing facility was re-
quired by both government regulation and business economics. He
said the public need to provide for the continuation of the business
was intensified by the fact that OSHA regulations will require the
installation and operation of very expensive dust-collecting equip-
men t. He said Mr. Updegrave was trying to upgrade his business and
not be forced to u~e prime land for parking.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to deny the appeal and
to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Williams noted a great deal of sympathy for a person who was
trying to expand his business. In trying to read through the
notes and application, he said he had a great deal of difficulty
in separating that which was a necessary request for expanding e
business from that which was an attempt for commercial expansion.
He would prefer to view those two issues separately. Mr. De 1 ay
concurred with Mr. Williams regarding the question of expansion
of a locally-owned business. However, the question was not whether
the applicant was aSking for adequate parking, but whether rezoning
would be used for some other purpose.
Ms. Smith asked whether the applicant would be able to come back
to the Planning Commission with another proposal. Mr. Sa u 1 sa i d
the Code had a one-year limi tation, but if it were a different
application, it could be considered earlier; and the one year could
be waivered for a good cause. Ms. Smith noted sympathy for the
expansion of the business, but felt apprehensive about the uncertain-
ties expressed.
Mayor Keller said Council was being faced with a question of de-
fining public need. He said the tragedy that could result would
be the business would exit from the community.
Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously.
D. Budget for 1977-78
Manager said this was a pro forma hearing for overall City budget
and revenue sharing components required by law. He sa i d there
had been at least six budget hearings, and the process this evening
was to ask for more public testimony. The actual budget ordinance e
would be adopted at Council meeting June 29. He made one general
observation in that the document submitted April 19, after going
51Y 6/27/77 --6
e
through many budget hearings and many changes, had come out only
$79 less. He said one pertinent point for Council was to note
the tax estimate and revenue estimate were approximately the same
as originally presented.
Loren Stubbert, Finance Department, said the Budget Committee
hearing June 21 had reviewed Room Tax Subcommittee proposals.
One hundred thousand ~ollars ($100,000) had been committed to a
convention center, $10,000 would be used for Historic Review Board,
$50 000 for cultural activities, and $50,000 for convention-promotion.
Eight thousand dollars from revenue sharing reserves was marked
for a Mall manager.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
E. Public Works -- Valley River Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge (tabulation attached)
Don Allen told Council the project was beIng hanJTedby.the Oregon State
Department of Transportation, and the City has to expend 20% of the
project costs in cash. Staff was requesting action by Council for
authorization to participate in the project. He said the initial cost
e estimate had been $326,000, of which the City's 20% portion would have
been $72,000. However, when bids were received by the State, the low
bid was $277.496, with an estimated total for the entire project to be
$336,138. The City's 20% portion would then be $62,100, of which the
City had prepaid $4,000.
Mr. Allen explained the second lowest bid may have to be accepted by
the State, as the low bidder had not been made aware of some conditions
of the hidding, conditions regarding construction of the bridge in the
river bed. Therefore, the City's amount might be about $64,900.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. I-laws moved , seconded by Mr. /lame I , to authorize City staff to
enter into agreement with the State Highway Department of Transportation
for construction of the Valley River Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge in an
amount not to exceed $64,900. Motion carried unanimously.

III. Ordinances Held for Second Reading
The following council bills, read the first time June 13, 1977 and
held, lacking unanimous consent for second reading, were brought back
for second reading for council bill number and title only, with no
Council member present requesting they be read in full.
C.B. 1489--Rezoning area located on the northwest corner of 12th Avenue
and Garfield Street (Short) (Z 77-15) from R-1 to RP-SR
was read by council bill number and title only, there being
no Council member present requesting that it be read in full.
C.B. 1486--Rezoning area located along the west side of Oak Street between
26th and 27th Avenues East from R-l to RG (Belisle) (Z 77-17)
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, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bills be approved
and given final passage.
Mr. Obie requested the bills be separated and a vote taken on each.
Mayor Keller asked if a majority of Council wanted the bills segre-
gated. Mr. Delay asked for a point of order, noting when a request is
made to segregate, the chair has to allow the segregation if there .-
are two different questions involved. Stan Long, City Attorney,
said Mr. Delay was correct. Mayor Keller then segregated the items.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that C.B. 1489 be approved
and given final passage. Roll ca 11 vote. Motion carried, with all
Council members present voting aye, except Obie and Bradley voting
no.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that C.B. 1486 be approved
and given final passage. Rollcall vote. Motion carried, with all
Council members present voting aye, except Mr. Bradley voting no.
The following council bills, read the first time June 13, 1977, and referred
to Assessment Panel for hearing June 20, 1977 were brought back for second
reading with Panel recommendation to levy assessments as proposed:
.
51b 6/27/77 - 8
e Manager reminded Council if it wished to discuss any further evidence,
it would require two-thirds vote of Council to do so.
C.B. 1495--Levying assessments for paving, sanitary sewer and storm
sewer on Hawkins Lane from 18th Avenue to Highland Oaks Drive
was read by council bill number and title only, there being
no Council member present requesting that it be read in full.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to segregate the Widmer
portion of C.B. 1495, based on information supplied to Council
which had not come up at the Panel hearing.
Mr. Lieuallen said he would be interested in pursuing the matter,
but wanted clarification to identify the issues which were essential
to the Widmers, who had requested a reduction in assessments levied.
He felt the discussion should be whether the Widmers should have to
pay for repaving of a driveway that the City had removed for widening
the street. Mr. Haws felt there was no new information to be con-
sidered and the assessment should be levied as proposed. He said if
the hearing were opened, then everyone who had been assessed should
be allowed to present testimony, noting nothing had been brought out
to suggest reconsideration.
Mr. Obie said the portion he was most concerned with related to the
driveway approach. A letter received from the Widmers indicated
e the City has a policy which allows property owners to build their
own approach. and Questioned whether the property owners were
notified to allow them to do so. He asked staff if the City has
such policy and were the property owners notified.
Mr. Lieuallen said Bert Teitzel had explained at the Assessment Panel
Hearing that a builder or contractor may build a temporary driveway
approach, but if City removes at a future time, the City would pay for
it, upon notification by the contractor. In this instance, the noti-
fication was not received, the City took out Widmer.s driveway, and
Widmer replaced it at his own expense. The contractor had not ful-
filled his requirement. Mr. Lieuallen asked when the City deals with
a contractor in such a situation, what the City.s obligation was to
notify the persons who would have to pay the bills.
Don Allen, Public Works, said the staff agreed with the letter from
the Widmers that they should have had the choice to put in their
driveway. He said the City.s policy was to make an attempt to secure
written permission from a property owner before doing any work on a
project. He said in this particular instance, City had written per-
mission slips for the first year of the job, but not for the second
year. He said also there was some question whether City staff had
talked to the property owners to secure permission. He said there was
no question the City had the right to do the work, but the policy does
call for written permission. He could not answer whether verbal per-
- mission had been given for this project. He said the City policies
require a builder of new houses in a development to take out a sidewalk
permit to establish the grade for the driveway. In this development,
6/27/77 -- 9
511
------ - I
the City had ten permits out on the street, but only four on record of e
us i ng those. He said it was the option of a property owner to call
for grade when they were ready for it, but not the City's obligation
to see it is used once it has been taken out.
Mr. Obie said the reason he felt the assessment should be segregated
for more discussionwas that new evidence had been presented, whether
or not city procedures were used in building the apron.
Vote was taken on the motion whi ch fai 1 ed two-thi rds vote, wi th
Delay, Williams, Haws, and Hamel voting no; Obie, Smith, Bradley,
and Lieuallen voting aye.
Mr. Lieuallen expressed uncomfortableness with C.B. 1495, and would be
voting no on the bill. Mr. Obie asked Council members if they had
read minutes of the Assessment Panel hearing. He said Mr. Allen was
saying on C.B. 1495 the City did not follow procedures. The Widmers
were asked to spend money which the City had no right to ask them to
spend, and he was going to vote no on C.B. 1495 and asked Council for
reconsideration of the issue. Mr. Allen replied the City did spend a
portion of that assessed amount which it had the legal right to
spend. Ms. Smith questioned whether the City had any way to made an
adustment. Mr. Allen said it was possible staff could correct the
assessments on that portion of the right-of-way on the driveway.
Mr. Haws moved to amend C.B. 1495, seconded by Mr. Obie, to e
direct staff to correct any assessments which were wrong, bring
back to Council if there is any further dispute, and delay second
reading of the bill at this time. Motion carried unanimously.
C.B. 1496--levying assessments for paving and sidewalk on Willamette
street from 40th Avenue to 600 feet south of the south end
of Coachman Drive was read by number and title only,
there being no Council member present requesting it be
read in full.
A request from Joy Goolsby, 18 East 47th Avenue, to segregate
C.B. 1496 was received.
Mr. Bradley moved to segregate C.B. 1496 for further discussion.
Motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Bradley thought a member of the public should be given the .
courtesy of Council's taking vote for two-thirds t~ segregate thlS
item. Mr. Delay said it was the same process, notlng a 7:1 vote
against segregation.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be .
approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All Councll
members present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and
numbered 18014.
C.B. 1497--Levying assessments for paving Warren Avenue from ~50 feet -
south of Kevington Drive to 1500 feet south of Kevlngton
Drive was read by number and title only, there being no

VII. Other Items
A. Third National Conference on Alternative State and Local Policy--
Manager said City policy was for Council members to attend meetings
in which the City is officially a member. He suggested Council
treat such requests as they come before it. He said this was a
policy deviation and would like some authorization by Council.
Mr. Delay passed the agenda of the meeting to Council members and
noted he had read the proceedings of the last two conferences. He
- said the conference was relatively inexpensive and much work was pro-
duced in a work session atmosphere.
9~ 6/27/77-- 11
~
Mr. Haws felt it was a good idea to seek alternatives to issues e
Council would be discussing. Mr. Delay-expanded on the information
exchange, noting the group would be considering issues which used to
be national issues and now were considered local issues.
Mr. Williams questioned legal counsel whether this would be a legal
expenditure of budget funds. Mr. Long replied the issue was a
judgmental question. He said the most appropriate question in-
volved whether money had been appropriated. The only other test
was whether or not the meeting was for a public purpose, which was
another judgmental issue.
Mr. Lieuallen said if these were issues, the City Council was going
to be dealing with in the future, and alternatives might be offered,
he felt it was worth Mr. Delay attending.
