ISSUE STATEMENT
The City Council is being asked to approve the Hearings Official's Minutes, Findings and
Recommendations dated July 11, 2005, and to adopt a resolution forming a Local Improvement District
(LID) for paving, constructing curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscape medians, street lights, street trees,
wastewater and storm water drainage on 3rd and 4th avenues between Pearl Street and Lincoln, north of
the Southern Pacific Railroad and south of Skinner Butte Park.
BACKGROUND
This project was identified in the FY04-FY09 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) adopted by the
council on February 24, 2003, and pursuant to Section 7.160(5) of the Eugene, Code, 1971, a local
improvement district was initiated. The North End Scoping Study was used as a guide for the design
and to accommodate future connections between the train station and Skinner Butte and the Shelton-
McMurphy House.
Bids were opened on June 16, 2005, with Babb Construction Co., dba Delta Construction Co., as the
apparent low bidder. The property owners were notified of the pending LID hearing ten (10) days prior
to the hearing as required by the Eugene Code. The LID formation hearing was held on June 20, 2005,
to review the bid information, confirm whether the LID should be formed and to identify any special
conditions that should be included in the resolution forming the LID. Six (6) property owners attended
the hearing (see Hearings Official Minutes).
Financial and/or Resource Considerations
Based on the low bids received, the costs listed below are the total estimated assessment costs plus
contingency for the local improvement district.
Paving 7-foot (per from foot) $ 65.00
Paving 10-foot (per front foot) $ 90.00
Sidewalk (per square foot) $ 6.00
L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050718\S0507182D.doc
Wastewater (per square foot) $ .35
Wastewater service (per each) $3,000.00
Total Estimated Assessable Cost $ 427,851
Total Estimated City Cost $1,258,433
Total Estimated Project Cost $1,686,284
The non-assessable City share for this project will be funded primarily from transportation SDCs and
stormwater SDCs. The nonassessable costs the City will pay for include additional width of paving,
intersections, medians, bike lanes, street lights, street trees, and non-assessable storm drainage system
costs.
Assessments are anticipated to be levied following the completion of construction. Following the levy
of assessments, a 1 O-year payment plan through the City is available to all property owners within the
improvement district as identified by Eugene Code, Chapter 7.
All necessary steps have been completed as prescribed by the Eugene Code for the initiation and
formation of an LID. Delay in the formation of the LID will delay completion of the improvement
project.

June 20, 2005 Public Hearing
Hearings Official Milo Mecham convened the hearing at 6:05 p.m. He described
the subject matter of the hearing and procedures to be followed at the hearing. Present at
the hearing representing the City of Eugene was Principal Engineer Paul Klope and
Project Engineer Steve Gallup.
Principal Engineer Paul Klope began the City's presentation by briefly describing
the project's history. Mr. Klope explained that the project was identified in the FY 04-09
Capital Improvement Program, adopted by the Council in 2003. The road is
deteriorating, and is seeing increasing traffic. The North End Scoping Study was used as
a design standard, even though the road is outside the area.
Mr. Klope described the nature of the project, including the street improvements
and the safety features. The project is designed to improve the street with two travel
lanes, landscape medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, street lights and colored pavement on the
raised cross walks. These cross walks are a part of the traffic calming scheme. The
project also includes elements that, when the planned pedestrian overpass from the train
station is completed, will tie the train station together with Skinner Butte Park.
Mr. Klope described the estimated costs of the project. The project is estimated to
have a total cost of $1,686,284, of which an estimated $427,851 is proposed to be
assessed to adjacent benefited properties. The estimated assessments will assess
residential properties for seven feet of pavement at $65 per front foot, commercial
properties at $90 for 10 feet of paving. The proposed assessments also include an
assessment of $6 per square foot for sidewalks and 35 cents per square foot of property
for wastewater system improvements and $2,850 for wastewater service connections.
Mr. Klope explained that there will be some delayed assessments. Vacant properties will
not be assessed for street and sidewalk improvements until they develop. The wastewater
improvements will be assessed when the properties connect to the wastewater system.
After Mr. Klope had finished his presentation, the property owners in attendance
were invited to ask questions. There were six property owners in attendance. The first
property owner to address the hearing was Mr. Zeph Van Allen. Mr. Van Allen noted the
efforts to have the improvements support the historic character of the area. Mr. Van
Allen wondered if this affected the cost of the improvements assessed to property owners.
Mr. Klope answered that it did not. Mr. Van Allen noted the additional planned
improvements, such as the sidewalks on both sides, landscaping and street dividers. He
felt that these improvements were maximizing, if not exceeding the acceptable amenities
of the project. Mr. Van Allen explained that he did not object to such improvements as
sidewalks and bike lanes, but he wondered at the utility of having these on both sides of
the street.
Mr. Klope explained that the level of improvements corresponded to the standards
for streets such as 3rd Avenue, given the expected increase in use.
The next member of the public to speak was Mr. Doug Gubrud. Mr. Gubrud
asked about proposed changes to the improvements that had been suggested at prior
public discussions. Project Engineer Steve Gallup indicated that these ideas had been
incorporated into the project. Mr. Gallup explained to the hearings officer and the public
that there were concerns about delivery trucks and the curb height. Mr. Gallup indicated
the design had been softened to allow delivery truck use.
Mr. Gubrud mentioned that there were problems with the street addresses along
3rd - 4th Avenue. The confused addresses created real problems for delivery vehicles.
Mr. Gallup responded that the City Engineering Division should be contacted to examine
the issues.
The next member of the public to speak was Mr. David Davini. Mr. Davini asked
for an explanation of the remonstrance process. After he received the explanation, Mr.
Davini indicated that he would consider remonstrating. Mr. Davini recognized that if he
was the only property owner to remonstrate his action would accomplish little. Mr.
Davini indicated that he questioned the need for many of the proposed improvements.
He felt that there was no bike use, and would not be for the wholesale uses along most of
the street. Mr. Davini argued that these improvements should not be charged to the
business owners.
Mr. Klope responded that the proposed sidewalks are a part of the standard design
selected by the Council. The City's commitment is that eventually all streets will have
sidewalks. Mr. Davini asked about the sidewalks that are already in place along a part of
the street. He did not understand why the proposal would logically remove those to
replace them with other sidewalks. Mr. Klope promised to review this aspect of the
project. He indicated that, without having all the details, it seemed proper that if the
sidewalks in place were on the public right of way the existing sidewalk could be left in
place.
Mr. Davini also expressed his desire for increased traffic calming devices. He
was concerned that the improvements would encourage traffic speeding. Mr. Davini
called attention to the views from the intersection. Mr. Davini explained that all the truck
traffic goes west, which should mean that the east intersection could be tightened up to
reduce speed and protect the pedestrians.
Mr. Davini closed by arguing that the proportion being assessed to property
owners was excessive. He felt that making property owners pay twenty five percent was
too much when measured against the benefits to the property owners.
The next member of the public to address the hearing was Mr. Dan Giustina. He
began with concerns about safety. He felt that vehicles would have difficulty pulling out
onto the street because of the traffic along 4th Avenue. He also felt that the pedestrians
who use the area a lot may be placed at increased risk by the improvements. Mr.
Giustina also expressed concern about the decision to select 4th Avenue for improvement.
He felt that, given the deteriorated state of other feeder streets in the area, improvements
tO 4th Avenue would encourage more traffic along that street, which would make the
problems along 4th worse.
Mr. Klope responded that the raised crosswalks were designed to increase
pedestrian safety as well as slowing traffic. The City recognized the importance of
pedestrian use, and had worked to make sure that pedestrian safety was maintained. Mr.
Klope repeated that the designs such as the raised crosswalks and the landscaped medians
were incorporated to keep traffic slow even as traffic using the street increased.
Mr. Giustina expressed concern that 4th Avenue was being used as a through
street rather than a local street. Drivers used 4th to beat the train or to avoid congestion
on other streets. Mr. Giustina asked if there were any instances where the City had
constructed street improvements with a sidewalk only on one side of the street. Mr.
Klope acknowledged that it happened occasionally, but only in circumstances where the
side of the street without sidewalks was outside the city.
The final member of the public to address the hearing was Mr. Kent Jennings.
Mr. Jennings began by questioning the evaluation of the relative benefit to property
owners. Mr. Jennings felt that the benefit to the City was greater than to the property
owners. Mr. Jennings asked about other projects and whether the formula of a balance of
twenty five percent of the cost of a project being assessed to property owners was
standard. Mr. Klope explained that the formulas for assessment to property owners was
set by the Council depending on the type of improvements being made, and not on a
percentage of benefits. The percentage in this case was about the same as other, similar
projects, but only because it was as similar situation.
Mr. Giustina expressed concerns about the Pearl Street intersection. He asked
what plans there were for the intersection. Mr. Klope responded that the intersection
would be realigned. Mr. Giustina asked about street trees, whether there would be any
choice of what trees would be put in. Mr. Klope responded that the City had a long list of
trees from which the property owners could choose.
A question was asked concerning the installation of wastewater services. Mr.
Gallup indicated that the wastewater installations were being made to allow later
connection of currently vacant properties. It would be important for property owners
who had plans for later development of vacant properties to let the City know now, so
that the wastewater services could be put in now. Mr. Gallup also indicated that EWEB
would be installing water services at the same time.
A question was asked concerning access to properties along the street during
construction. Mr. Klope and Mr. Gallup indicated that arrangements had been made with
adjacent property owners to allow access through adjacent parking lots during
construction of the east end of the project.. This would allow the driveways along that
portion of the project to be closed. The City will work with the property owners to keep
· access to their properties open during construction. Making arrangements for this
alternative access will allow the project to move more quickly than would be possible
under other circumstances. At the west end the contractor will keep the existing road
open during construction of the new road. This will allow continued access during that
phase of the project.
The attendees felt that all their questions had been answered. There being no
further inquiries or statements to be made, the hearing closed at 6:50.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUBJECT: PROPOSED PAVING, CONSTRUCTING CURBS, GUTTERS,
SIDEWALKS, LANDSCAPE MEDIANS, STREET LIGHTS, STREET TREES,
WASTEWATER AND STORM WATER DRAINAGE ON 3RD AND 4TH
AVENUES BETWEEN PEARL STREET AND LINCOLN STREET, NORTH OF
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD AND SOUTH OF SKINNER BUTTE
PARK (JOB #3827)
BACKGROUND
Third and 4th Avenue runs diagonally between Pearl Street on the east and Lincoln Street on the
west. The street is currently in very poor condition. The existing paving is a 20 foot wide oil
mat in very poor condition with poor drainage. The street provides the only connection between
Pearl and Lincoln that is north of the railroad tracks and south of Skinner Butte. For a long time
the street was little used, but in recent years there has been considerable development along the
street. The proposed improvements were identified in the FY 04-FY 09 Capital Improvement
Program adopted by the Council on February 24, 2003. The project was designed using the
standards of Section 7.160(5) of the Eugene Code, and the North End Scoping Study.
After preparatory work by the City, the project was put out to bid. Bids were opened on June 16.
The property owners were notified of the projected assessments and the impending public
hearing. A public hearing was held on June 20, 2005
PROJECT
The improvements will consist of a 32-foot wide road with two travel lanes, landscaped medians,
bicycle lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lights, street trees, traffic calming and wastewater
and storm water drainage systems. The improvements to 3rd and 4th Avenue will address the
existing deteriorating surface, and create safer traveling conditions for bicycles, pedestrians and
vehicles. In addition, at each end of the project, realignment of the intersections is proposed to
address safety issues.
Based on the low bid received, the costs listed below are the estimated assessment costs plus
contingency.
Paving 7-foot (per front foot) $ 65.00
Paving 10-foot (per front foot) $ 90.00
Sidewalk (per square foot) $ 6.00
Wastewater (per square foot) $ .35
Wastewater service (per each) $2,850.00

Total Estimated Assessable Cost $ 427,851
Total Estimated City Cost $1,258,433
Total Estimated Project Cost $1,686,284
The non-assessable City share for this project will be funded primarily from Transportation
SDC's and Storm Water SDC's. The City will pay for the additional width of paving, the
intersections, medians, bike lanes, street lights, street trees, and non-assessable storm drainage
system costs.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Several of the properties benefited by this proposed project have submitted irrevocable petitions
for the improvements. The City of Eugene Public Works Department sent notice of the proposed
local improvement district, and of the proposed assessments, to property owners more than ten
days in advance of the hearing date. A hearing on the proposed LID was scheduled for June 20,
2005. Six property owners attended. A summary of the hearing is attached Exhibit A.
One property owner made a verbal statement that he wished to enter a remonstrance. Upon being
given an opportunity to submit the remonstrance in writing, Mr. David Davini elected to
withdraw the remonstrance. Most of the questions or comments from attendees were questions
about the proposed improvements. Some attendees expressed concerns about the project. Other
attendees expressed support for the improvements.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
Notice of the public hearing was provided and all the property owners were given an opportunity
to participate in the hearings.
Appropriate notice was given of the public hearing and pending Council action, as required by
the Eugene Charter and Code. Letters informing property owners of the hearing and notification
to property owners of the intent of the City to characterize the assessment as an assessment, not a
tax, as required by ORS 305.583(5) were mailed to the property owners.
The Hearings Officer finds that the project is one for which the assessments are for local
improvements as set forth in ORS 310.410 because
1. The assessments do not exceed actual costs;
2. The assessments are imposed for a capital construction project that provides a
specific benefit for a specific property or rectifies a problem caused by a specific
property
3. The assessments are imposed in a single assessment upon completion of the
project; and
PROPOSED CURBS AND GUTTERS, SIDEWALKS, AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS ON 3''d AND 4th
AVENUE FORMATION OF LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Page 2
4. The assessments allow the property owners to elect to pay the assessment with
interest over at least ten (10) years.
The Hearings Official also finds that the method of calculation of the area to be assessed and the
estimated assessments is consistent with the language of the Eugene Code. The Hearings
Official recommends that the Council act in accord with the City Engineer's recommendations,
accepting the low bid and forming the local improvement district as set forth in the City
Engineer's recommendations.

Re: 3r~ & 4th Avenue Improvements
Dear Mr. Mecham:
In response to your letter dated June 2,1, 2005, regarding the formation of a local
improvement district for 3rd and 4th Avenues, I agree that sufficient remonstrance for this
project does not exist and thus I withdraw my previous remonstrance.
Regarding the project itself, we remain concerned about the traffic calming measures
being proposed. Based on over ten years of observing traffic patterns on this street, we
believe a speed bump should be installed between the proposed raised crosswalk at 4th
and Pearl and the proposed raised sidewalk located midway between Pearl and Lincoln.
The modifications to this street are going to encourage increased pedestrian and bicycle
traffic and the safety of these individuals will be greatly enhanced by installing a speed
bump as discussed above.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Re: Hearing on June 20, 2005 - 3rd & 4th Avenue Connector
Dear Mr. Schoening:
We met with Steve Gallup from the Public Works Department on January 12,
2005. At that time, we had three outstanding issues that needed to be
addressed. To date, we have not had a response.
1. Access to our parking lot during construction - we need access for
approximately 20 employees plus customers during construction.
2. We requested a list of pre-approved tree species in order to provide input
for replacement trees along our southern border.
3. We remain very concerned about adequate speed control devices and the
relative safety of pedestrian and bike users along the 3rd & 4th Avenue
between Pearl and Lincoln.
It is our intent to attend the hearing on June 20, 2005 to discuss the above
issues.
