- EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 1978
Adjourned meeting from August 23, 1978, of the City Council of the City of
Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 7:30 p.m.
on August 28, 1978, in the Council Chambers, with the following Council
members present: D. W. Hamel, Ray Bradley, Tom Williams, Eric Haws, Jack
Delay, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith. Councilor Scott Lieuallen was absent.
I. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Selection of Architect for Civic Center Phase II--Manager announced
that, as a result of deliberations on Saturday, August 26, finalists
were selected for the architect for the Civic Center Phase II project.
A motion outlining the result of those deliberations has been distri-
buted to Council members.
Dean Baumgartner, Civic Center Director, announced the vote at the
August 26 session. Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates of New York was
first with 181 points; Sprankle, Lynd and Sprague placed second with
163 points; Zimmer Gunsul Frasca partnership was third with 152
points. Placing fourth and fifth were the WEGROUP of Eugene and
Skidmore Owens and Merrill of Portland. Mr. Baumgartner strongly
- recommmended that Council select the first place choice. He said they
have been responsible for many successful projects around the nation,
among them a new concert hall in Denver which is receiving wide
acclaim. He believes the City of Eugene can anticipate a superior
facil i ty.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to accept the recommen-
dations of the Joint Committee, and authorize staff to enter into
the contract for architectural and related services for Phase II
of the Civic Center project with Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer, 257 Park
Avenue South, New York, New York. Motion carried, all Council
members voting aye except Mr. Haws voting no.
Mr. Haws wondered if staff would come back to Council for approval on
the contract provisions. Manager responded that, if Council so
wishes, that will be done; however, that was not the intention. Ms.
Smith suggested that a thank you letter be sent to consultant Scott
for all of the fine work he did. Mr. Bradley wondered if the Council
would have any input into the selection of a local architect to assist
on the project. Mr. Keller did not see any reason for the Council to
be involved in that process, with which Mr. Delay concurred. Dean
Baumgartner commented that Council had received the right to approve
e
8/28/78--1
51'1
subcontractors and, in this case, a local would be considered to be a
subcontractor, so the right to approve the subcontractor does exist. -
Mr. Pfeiffer of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer said he is ecstatic about the
project, and is looking forward to working with the City of Eugene.
He said Eugene has extended itself in welcoming and interviewing the
architects.
Dory Lee McGillivary commented that every finalist firm was affiliated
with a national firm so that no firm was totally local in nature.
B. Mandatory Retirement
(Ordinance Change raising age to 70 for protection against discrimi-
nation in employment).
Manager commented that the ordinance change would apply to all citizens
living in Eugene and not just the City staff. He said the Aging
Commission would like all reference to age removed but that at the
present time the ordinance is focusing on age 70 with effects of
removing all age reference to be studied at a later date. This ordi-
nance is to parallel as closely as possible the Federal legislation.
Jean Freeman, Aging Commission, said the Commission hopes that Council
would remove any reference to age at some time in the future. She
said mandatory retirement is blatant discrimination. Practices
which would be deplored if directed against other minority groups
are accepted as fair treatment for older people. It is an arbitrary -
denial of human rights. She said the American Medical Association
Aging Committee says it robs people of the right to live full, well-
rounded lives. It encourages decay. She added that more people
are taking early retirement, and abolishing mandatory retirement
would not change that. Anyone capable of working past the age of
65 should be able to do so. She said it makes no sense to force
people out of jobs, and then have federally funded programs to employ
retired persons. She said the Commission requests three things: 1)
that the Council write a position paper favoring total abolishment of
mandatory retirement; 2) mandate to the state legislature to enact
enabling legislation regarding fair labor laws and PERS; and 3)
express support for efforts for a statewide coalition to advocate
passage of proposed legislation. She noted distribution to Council on
Seattle's efforts on the abolition of mandatory retirement which she
hopes will be of assistance to Council in its deliberations.
Mr. Hamel agrees with raising the age but is concerned with what
happens to an individual wanting to retire at, say, age 62.
Peter DeFazio, Jim Weaver's assistant on aging, said the ordinance
would not change anyone's right to retire early. Andy Clement, Human
Rights staff, said a person retiring early presumably would not need
the protection of the discrimination code because his retirement plan
would protect him. The change, however, would permit a person to work
later, not demand that he do so.
e
8/28/78--2
580
Mr. Delay wondered about any efforts regarding abolition of mandatory
e retirement at any age. Andy Clement said the major concerns were from
the City Attorney's office. Primarily, staff would be looking at what
other states have done.
Public hearing was opened.
Jewel Baker, Aging Commission alternate, reminded the Council of its
hard task when it decided that there should be no discriminatory
practices toward homosexuals. She said the Commission would like to
insist that someone age 65 and older is entitled to the same kinds of
considerations. She said it should be understood that continuing
employment past 65 should be on the basis of competency only. In no
way would they want an incompetent person to be retained. Seniors are
perfectly willing to stand their performance against anyone of any age.
Public hearing was closed.
C.B. 1738--Regarding Human Rights: Amending Sections 4.615 and 4.620
of the Code, 1971; and providing an effective date was
read by council bill number and title only, there being
no Councilor present requesting that it be read in full.
Mr. Keller said he had no problem with staff responding to the issue
of removal of any age reference from the Code at some future convenient
date.
- Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, 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. Motion carried unanimously, and the bill was read the
second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be approved
, and given final passage. Rollcall vote. Motion carried unanimously
and the bill was. declared passed and numbered 18251.

1. Located east of Coburg Road between Bailey Lane and Tandy
Turn (Z 78-17) (Rossi)

the Planning Commission hearing that PUD procedures be enacted to
provide for public review.
No Councilors declared ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest.
Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record.

2. Located between Marist High School and Beltline Road lmmediately
east of the Willamette River (Z 78-18) (Needham)
Recommended by Planning Commission July 18, 1978
Mr. Saul commented that Eugene had earlier adopted an amendment to the
1990 Plan which made the area suitable for medium-density development.
Following that, a 140-acre request came in around the particular site
seeking annexation and designation as R-2/PD. Staff contacted the e
owners of the property in question and they did not want to be included
at that time. All surrounding property has been zoned R-2jPD. The
property in question now has a new owner who wishes to proceed.
No Councilors declared ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest.
Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. A public
hearing was held with no testimony presented.
C.B. 1743--Authorizing rezoning from AG Agricultural District to R-2jPD

3. Located east of Oak Patch Road between 11th Avenue and
15th Avenue (Thorn) (Z 78-20)
Recommended by Planning Commission July 18, 1978
Mr. Saul said the property involves 20,000 square feet in an area
designated in the 1990 Plan as appropriate for medium-density develop-
ment. Council will note that all surrounding property is already
zoned R-2.
No Councilors declared ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest.
Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record.
Public hearing was opened.

and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting
that it be read in full.

Lincoln (Z 78-21) (Painter)
Recommended by Planning Commission July 18, 1978
Mr. Saul said the property involves 11,840 square feet. He said it is
developed with one residential structure with another on the rear of
the lot awaiting Council action to allow it to become a residence.
Under the present zoning a house can be stored but not used as a
residence. Mr. Saul said rezoning is consistent with the notion of
the Whiteaker Plan, particularly insofar as it encourages further
e development for the property for residential use.

D. Annexation/Zonings (maps have been distributed to Council members)
1. Located south of Dillard Road, east of existing city limits of
Eugene (AZ 78-7) (Fairview Investments) -
Recommended by Planning Commission July 18, 1978
Mr. Saul said the property involved 13.8 acres. Review by Planning Com-
mission included a review of the City's criteria for annexation requests,
the LCDC administrative rule on annexations, and consideration of appli-
cable statewide goals. In this instance, Goals 5, 7, 10, 11, and 14 were
determined to be applicable in evaluation of the annexation. Planning
Commission recommended R-1 zoning be applied contingent upon annexation
and that PUD procedures be required.
Mr. Delay wondered about administrative rule criteria. Mr. Saul said
that there are two standards, the first being a requirement that public
facilities can be extended. The second one is that the property is
either physically developed or a public need exists. Therefore, a clear
and demonstrable need exists.
No Councilors declared ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest.
Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record.
Public hearing was opened.
David Piper, 241 E. Broadway, representating Fairview Investments, said
that the applicant has been in contact with the owner of a 117-acre parcel
to the west of his parcel. As staff notes recommend there will be an
attempt to coordinate development with the west parcel. He would respond e
to any questions.

e Res. No. 2988--Forwarding to Boundary Commission recommendation for

east of existing city limits of Eugene was read by number
and title.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley that findings supporting
the annexation as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes
and minutes of July 18, 1978, be adopted by reference thereto, and
that the resolution be adopted. Rollcall vote. Moti on carri ed
unanimously.
C.B. 1746--Authorizing rezoning from County AGT Agriculture, Grazing,
and Timber and County RA Suburban Residential Districts to
City R-1 Single-Family Residential District, property located
south of Dillard Road~ east of existing city limits of Eugene~
was read by number and title only, there being no Councilor
present requesting that it be read in full.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley~ that findings support-
ing the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes
and minutes of July 18, 1978, 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

- Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be approved
and given final passage. Roll ca 11 vote. Motion carried unanimously
4nd the bill was declared passed and numbered 18256.
2. Located east of Capital Drive, south of existing city limits line
(AZ 78-8) (Spencer Alpert)
Denial recommended by Planning Commission July 18, 1978
Mr. Saul said there was one residence on the property at the present
time and a swimming pool. The applicant said the primary purpose of
annexation was to allow connection of the existing residence to the
sewer. It would appear from materials submitted that there was some
uncertainty as to the exact nature of the intent of annexation. In
this instance it was determined that the sewers could not be extended
to the east portion--Tax Lot 100--so, based on that, the inability to
extend sewers existed and the Planning Commission recommended denial.
Mr. Bradley and Mr. Haws indicated they would be abstaining on the
motion due to a conflict of interest. No other ex parte contacts or
conflicts of interest were declared by Councilors.
Staff notes and minutes were entered as part of the record.
Public hearing was opened.
e
8/28/78--7
585
Mr. Spencer Alpert, 1210 Pearl, commented that he was not sure he
would have initiated the annexation had he known it would be objection- -
able. When it was presented he was informed that the City was inter-
ested in annexation. The property is served by City water. He said
the only purpose served by approving the annexation is to allow him
to hook up to the City sewer since the zone change would provide
no difference in that the zones basically allow the same uses. He
said there is no evidence that sewer service is not available.
Pumps could be used which have been found to be environmentally safe.
Since the entire property is within the urban service boundary, that
should not be a point of discussion unless there is a concurrent
development. He would suggest that the sewers are available to the
property in any case. No development is proposed at this time. He
also demonstrated a wt11ingness to pay for City sewer hookup.
Larry Olson, 71 Centennial Loop, consulting engineer, said that he did
a survey to determine the accessibility of the structures on the land
to the sewer line. He said that everything currently putting effluent
into the ground can be hooked into a sewer.
Sally Weston, 2595 Highland Drive, member of Fairmount Neighbors, said
that at the last neighborhood meeting urban growth was discussed. She
said the land in question is a small part of 80 acres between the
Fairmount neighborhood and the Laurel Hill Valley. That is a signifi-
cant amount of land because of a lot of potential development. She
feels that among City services there needs to be included safe public
access. At this point the neighbors feel that that is not available. e
If there were additional development at the top of Capital Drive, it
would cause a great deal of congestion. There is over a mile of travel
on an 18-foot-wide road with driveways about every 100 feet. Some
driveways have blind access. The thought of widening Capital Drive is
almost out of the question. If so, driveways would be rendered impas-
sable. Only two-tenths of the mile has sidewalks for pedestrians. She
thinks it's appropriate that the 80 acres at the top of the hill be
developed eventually but there is not enough public access right now.
Hal Rinier, 2900 Capital Drive, said that at the last neighborhood
meeting it was determined that the road going up the hill was unsafe.
He would like to approach it from the angle that on top of Capital
Hill there are eight acres of arboretum planted years ago, and the
present owner is unable to preserve it at the present 'time. Neighbors
are willing to buy it to preserve it. Mr. A1pert1s property separates
Hendricks Park and this arboretum. There are natural trails in
Hendricks Park going to the edge of Mr. Alpert's property so all that
is needed to make a park is a trail connecting Hendricks Park and the
arboretum.
Marcus Wright, 2986 Capital Drive, said Mr. Alpert could develop
the property if annexation and rezoning is approved. As ares i dent
he would submit that Capital Drive is an obstacle course. He sugges ts
that Council uphold the Planning Commission's denial of the annexation
and rezoni ng.

Public hearing was closed.
e Mr. Saul commented that the issue is whether the sewer can be extended
to the property. He said staff maintains those facilities cannot be
provided to all of the property.
Mr., Obie wondered if all the buildings on the property could be
served, even if not all of the property could be served. Mr. Saul
said the buildings could all be served.
Mr. Alpert commented that City facilities are available to the site.
He said he thinks it satisfies the LCDC requirement. He said he is
not asking for additional residences. It is not a request for develop-
ment. His motivation for the request is that there is a septic tank
and drain field that is antiquated. He recognizes that the property
could be developed or sold but in terms of motivation that is not his
motivation at the present time.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to deny the appeal and
uphold the Planning Commission decision and enter staff notes and
minutes as part of the record. Motion carried, all Councilors
present, voting aye, except Mr. Haws and Mr. Bradley abstaining.
E. Public Works Bid Awards (attached) (opened 8/22/78 at lO:a.m.)
Don Allen, Public Works Director, read a complaint into the record on
e project eight which said that the storm sewer on Dillard is of concern
to an individual on 1485 East 43rd. They are concerned that the storm
sewer is in a rather large water course and that it would be denying
use of the stream by wildlife in the area.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to award the bid to the
low bidders on all nine projects. Motion carried unanimously.
II. ORDINANCES
A. Designating as historic landmarks the Preston Building, the Hall
Building and the Portland Store located on the east side of Willamette
Street between 8th and 9th avenues (C.B. 1732)
This council bill was held over from August 18, 1978.
Council has, in the meantime, toured the facility. Staff has drafted a
proposed motion, copies of which have been distributed to Council members.
Mr. Delay said he thought the motion sounded like a perf~ctly adequate
resolution of the matter. If Council has to later arbitrate the outcome
of the three bui19ings, at least it will have a list of concrete proposals
to use. Councilors also received recommendations concerning the three
buildings as prepared by Michael Shellenbarger, Associate Professor of
Architecture at the University of Oregon, a letter from ERA Director Kupper

Ordinance
to Joyce Benjamin, a letter to Kupper from Attorney Joe Richards, and a
letter to Dave Hunt, former ERA Director from Lewis Hoffman. Councilors e
also received an August 24, 1978, memo from the City Attorney. It was
noted that among Shellenbarger's recommendations was that a structural
engineering report be prepared, and Mr. Delay wondered if that issue has
been addressed by staff. Mr. Kupper, ERA, said they have not prepared one
at this time and he did not understand why Mr. Shellenbarger thought
it was necessary. If Council directs the ERA to go in the direction of
the drafted motion, he will speak to Mr. Shellenbarger to see why it is
necessary, and, if required, the agency will do it. Bob Thomas, ERA
assistant Director, said that when he talked to Mr. Shellinbarger his idea
was to have a study that all could refer to that would stabilize the
buildings as far as their vertical and lateral stability is concerned and
that would be the same method in all cases and could be built into any
proposal. Mr. Thomas raised the issue at that time that the exact method
used to stabilize would depend on the range of uses in the building. He
felt it would be premature for Council to tie that in with the recommenda-
tion at this point.
Mr. Williams said he has read the material submitted to the Council and
reviewed the testimony and intends to vote on the matter. Mr. Kupper said
that, as a point of information, a representative of a developer interested
in submitting a proposal spoke to him about the possible tax benefits that
might accrue to a developer if the buildings were historically designated.
He has discussed the matter with Attorney Joe Richards and would like to
be on the record as noting that, if the Renewal Agency selects a restora-
tion proposal, it would be their intention to ask the developer to waive -
tax abatement advantages.
Judy Rees, HCC, said it is possible to have one's property taxes frozen
for 15 years if their building is on the National Register. In the case
of properties to be restored, of course, it is to the owner's advantage to
have taxes frozen before the work is done but it does not eliminate taxes.
It freezes them for 15 years.
Mr. Bradley wondered why the Renewal Agency wanted the tax abatement
procedures waived. Mr. Kupper said the City pays off renewal project
bonds with increased property taxes generated by new development in the
renewal area. A restoration proposal could give the Renewal Agnecy a good
tax return. Mr. Keller wondered about the legal issue raised by the
Hoffmans on the property. Attorney Joe Richards said it will take consi-
derable research and that it lies within HUD regulations. Mr. Bradley
wondered why the matter was not still being considered for historic
landmark designation. Mr. Farah, Planning Department, said the suggested
motion allows a balancing without cutting off alternatives now. Staff
probably should have brought a compromise to Council earlier but it did
not and that may have added to the confusion.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mrs. Smith, to request the Renew~l
Agency to: 1) Entertain requests for proposals on the Preston
Building, the Hall Building, and the Portland Store for rehabili-
taion/restoration and new construction or some combination of the
e

two; 2) use the ERA Design Review Committee to review all proposals
for rehabilitation and new construction and request the Historic
e Review Board to provide two of its members to serve on the Design
Review Committee; 3) refer all proposals for rehabilitation of the
existing buildings to the Historic Review Board for recommendation
and those recommendations to be forwarded to the Design Review
Committee. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Traffic Code Revisions--The following council bill adopts the revised
state traffic code.
C.B. 1747--Amending Section 5.005 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and
declaring an emergency, was read by council bill number
and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting
that it be read in full.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, 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.
Motion carried unanimously, and the bill was read the second time
by council bill number only.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, that the bill be approved
and given final passage. Ro 11 call vote. Motion carried unanimously
and the bill was declared passed and numbered 18257.
III. RESOLUTIONS
e Res. No. 2989--Authorizing payment of bills and claims for period August 14
through August 28, 1978, was read by number and title.
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr.Bradley, to adopt the resolution.
Roll call vote. Motion carried unanimously.
IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to approve the Council
minutes of August 14, 1978. Roll ca 11 vote. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Henry announced a meeting in Salem, Tuesday, August 29, of the Governor's
Task Force to present his proposal on tax and expenditure limitations. Staff
members are planning to attend. He also mentioned a meeting scheduled by
Senator Fadeley, August 30, in the evening, in the McNutt Room. At that time,
input will be asked for on the special legislative session.
Upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed, the meeting was adjourned to
~ 1978.
