April 24, 2019, Meeting – Item 1 URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY BOARD AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Work Session: Steam Plant Redevelopment Proposal Meeting Date: April 24, 2019 Agenda Item Number: 1 Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Amanda D’Souza www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5540 ISSUE STATEMENT In August 2018, the City Manager, acting as the Agency Director, invited a local development team, led by Mark Miksis and Mark Frohnmayer, to prepare a full proposal for the redevelopment of the Steam Plant. The team’s proposal is included in Attachment C. The purpose of this work session is for the Agency Board to review the proposal and provide direction on next steps for disposition and redevelopment of the Steam Plant. BACKGROUND Located prominently along the banks of the Willamette River, the Steam Plant is an iconic representation of our community’s history and is ripe with possibility. The redevelopment of the Steam Plant is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to honor the significance of the Downtown Riverfront site while embracing its potential to be a place the community is proud of. With the strategic redevelopment of the building, the Steam Plant can become a world-class destination and anchor of activity that serves the community, enhances the riverfront experience, protects riparian habitat, and retains the historic nature of the site. At the March 14, 2018, work session, the Agency Board directed staff to draft a process and criteria for the disposition and redevelopment of the Steam Plant. On April 23, 2018, the Agency Board approved the process and criteria included in Attachments A and B. The approved process for disposition was a Request for Qualification/Request for Proposal process that allowed for flexibility but also provided the needed structure to solicit/collect interest, evaluate concepts, and engage with the public to find the right partner. Qualifications Phase The Agency received four submissions in response to the RFQ and two teams were invited to present to the River Guides, the advisory committee for the Riverfront Urban Renewal District (see Attachment E for list of members). The River Guides recommended the team led by Mark Miksis, of deChase Miksis Development, and Mark Frohnmayer, of Arcimoto, move forward into the proposal phase. In August 2018, the City Manager invited the team to prepare a full proposal for the redevelopment of the Steam Plant. April 24, 2019, Meeting – Item 1 Proposal Development and Community Outreach Over the past few months, the team has brought in architects, engineers and other experts to assess the building’s potential, met with community stakeholders, and explored financing strategies. The team partnered with the City to complete a public outreach and engagement process earlier this year. Through these efforts, City staff and team representatives: • Released an online survey, receiving over 900 responses (see Attachment D); • Spoke to over 350 people at First Friday Art Walk and Asian Celebration; • Held an Open House, attended by over 140 people; • Spoke to several groups including UO students, Downtown Neighborhood Association, and local business networks; • Promoted engagement efforts over multiple social media platforms; and • Received press coverage via KVAL, KEZI, KLCC, KUGN, the Register Guard, and the Daily Emerald. The team has also met with City staff and Williams/Dame to discuss their vision and how it could best complement the rest of the Downtown Riverfront redevelopment and the Riverfront Park. An interdisciplinary staff team also reviewed a draft of their proposal and provided feedback to the development team. Proposal The team proposes to save and adaptively re-use the Steam Plant, transforming it into a “vibrant mixed-use center that maximizes public participation and enjoyment.” The ground floor would look out to the river, drawing the public in for art, music, food and drink. This includes a tap room with local products, with micro-restaurant spaces and micro-retail units. The team looks to integrate their design with the Riverfront Park, offering an outdoor seating area and transforming the existing water intake structure on the riverbank into an overlook. The proposal includes dedicated flexible and adaptive space for the arts that can accommodate temporary art exhibits, installations and performance events. The upper levels of the building would include office spaces that would provide the fiscal foundation to make the redevelopment feasible. This would include space for co-working, community and university classes, venture incubation for start-ups and anchor tenants. The team is also in early discussions with the University of Oregon about a multidisciplinary leadership institute in the Steam Plant. The team intends to pursue listing the building on the National Register of Historic Places and are working with historic preservationists to curate their design around that assumption. The proposal preserves the exterior of the older two-thirds of the building, and reconstructs the newest third, which was constructed using asbestos-bearing transite panels. The building would maintain its existing footprint and prominently feature the use of cross-laminated timber in the interior spaces. The leftover boiler would remain in place, acting as a centerpiece for the public activities. The team will preserve other equipment for display as historic artifacts accompanied by other interpretive features, interactive art and outdoor sculptures on the site. April 24, 2019, Meeting – Item 1 The team has had preliminary conversations with staff about the potential role the Steam Plant could play during the 2021 World Track and Field Championships. Their proposal presents an idea of phasing the redevelopment in order to create a pavilion that would be available for use during the event. Staff will be asking City Council for direction on 2021 activities at a future work session. Advisory Committee On April 8, the River Guides evaluated the team’s proposal based on the approved criteria. They unanimously recommended negotiating deal points with the development team. More information about their discussion will be provided at the April 24 work session. Next Steps If the Agency Board provides direction to enter into exclusive negotiations, staff would work with the development team to generate deal points for the disposition and redevelopment process. Staff would bring these deal points to the River Guides for a recommendation and then bring them to the Agency Board for action before summer break. PREVIOUS AGENCY BOARD DIRECTION March 14, 2018 Executive session followed by work session: Agency Board directed staff to draft a process and criteria for the disposition and redevelopment of the Steam Plant April 23, 2018 Work session: Agency Board approved criteria and process for disposition of the Steam Plant AGENCY BOARD OPTIONS 1.

At the heart of this nascent river district is the Steam Plant, one of the most visible and iconic buildings in Eugene, with unrivaled views up and down the Willamette River. We believe the Steam Plant is one of the most exciting re-development projects in the Northwest. We have assembled a team of out-of-the-box thinkers and pragmatic executors who know what it takes to deliver on big ideas here in Eugene. We have secured financing on complex development and venture projects and have developed multiple programs of this scale and complexity across a range of industries. Most importantly, we have a shared mission to build this as a project that serves the public and our community as a whole. Our team began exploring a potential vision for the Steam Plant in 2015, in anticipation of this opportunity. When we submitted our qualifications to the City last June, we presented our initial broad vision of a vibrant mixed-use center that maximizes public participation and enjoyment. In the seven months since our team was selected by the City to develop a full proposal for the Steam Plant’s redevelopment, we have broadened the team to more clearly understand the challenges inherent in the project, and honed its architectural and usage concept with the thoughtful feedback of nearly a thousand of our Eugene peers and local stakeholders. Although there are real challenges to the adaptive re-use of the Steam Plant, and there have been questions about the feasibility of its re-use since the beginning of the original planning process, there is only one building in the Northwest with this view, this proximity to a free-flowing river, and this much community support to see a transformational outcome. Our team has the deep local roots, proven track record, and strong relationships required to bring the people and the financing together for the successful execution of this vision. We look forward to working with you to make this vision real.

The Steam Plant has many built-in assets that can be leveraged to realize larger public goals. The building is the closest that any building will ever be to the river. It offers stunning views and exhibits a rich patina of Eugene’s history. We will save and adaptively re-use the Steam Plant, as the team has repeatedly done with various locations in Eugene and around the region.

We will leverage the location and the proximity to the river to establish an iconic community destination that connects people with downtown and the Willamette River. The building will help realize the ‘Restaurant Row’ that the community asked for during the riverfront master planning process. The community spaces will be outfitted to maximize the public’s enjoyment of the Steam Plant’s unique setting along the river’s edge.

This existing concrete structure provides an ideal opportunity to create an iconic location for the public to engage with the river – the existing structure could enable the addition of a significant platform without disturbing the riverbank. The current park design calls for several overlooks along the edge of the river. We plan to work with the city to incorporate this overlook into the design work that is already underway so its construction can be concurrent with the Riverfront Park and complete by 2021. Located at a bend in the river with views east to the mountains and west to the butte, at the gateway to the park, and adjacent to the Steam Plant amenities, this is where the public will want to be. Let’s build an Instagram-worthy spot where people go to say they visited Eugene.

When given a choice between specific types of art experiences, our community survey indicated a rather strong desire for a space that is flexible and adaptive. We value a space that will not constrain the potential of what art can be, what one can experience, or who gets to create it. An open call to local and regional artists can supply the Steam Plant with an ongoing calendar of temporary art exhibits, installations, and performance events. Because the most impactful art is often created by new or unexpected experiences and interactions, an adaptive space at the Steam Plant will be dedicated to inspiring and hosting new art by and for our community. The unique qualities of the space will invite and challenge artists to produce work that will enhance the building’s public realm.

Young creative entrepreneurs and downsizing retirees are moving to locations where they do not have to rely on a car to meet their daily needs. In order to support the increasing desire for a more walkable lifestyle, Eugene’s downtown and neighborhoods need to provide new environments with active, interesting restaurants and retail, and vibrant places that inspire people to work and collaborate on new ideas. The Steam Plant’s unique proximity to the University of Oregon, Downtown, and the river provides an opportunity to build a knowledge transfer bridge, further knitting the scholarly community with Eugene’s emerging technology and entrepreneurship clusters. The renovated Steam Plant will provide the foundation for this new walkable live/learn/work neighborhood. The ground floor will be open to the river, drawing the public in for art, music, food, and drink. We see the upper levels of the building as comprising a mix of co-working, community and university classes, venture incubation for early- stage startups, and established anchor tenants. Tenants on these floors will include entrepreneurs, artists, founders, freelancers, remote workers, small business owners, digital creatives, makers – both students and professionals.

A portion of the square footage may also be dedicated to makerspaces and/or dry labs for the University of Oregon. This flexible-use model will maximize the ability for the working community to participate in the space and will also be the fiscal foundation that makes the Steam Plant redevelopment project financially feasible. Finally, we are recruiting potential anchor partners for portions of these spaces. The project team is in dialogue with the University of Oregon about a multidisciplinary leadership institute. As University President Emeritus Dave Frohnmayer wrote, “Leadership theory can be taught and learned, and the enterprise is supremely worthwhile.” This leadership institute would establish opportunities for Eugene’s community members to learn leadership, not as an inherent privilege of the few, but as a set of skills necessary for all people to work more effectively together. The Steam Plant redevelopment will be built to succeed long-term. It will be flexible, resilient, and able to adapt over time, as new markets and new demographics emerge.

The building is eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the team intends to pursue this designation. This requires the team to follow the rigorous process of listing the building, and demonstrates our commitment to preserve this landmark structure. Historic designation is also necessary to pursue Historic Tax Credits that will be a critical part of financing the project. Preservation experts George Kramer and Donald Peting have advised on the design direction, and have helped the evolution of the design toward a proposal that is in line with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of historic properties. Key aspects of the proposal include preservation of the exterior of the Boiler 1 and Boiler 2 phases of the building, including re-use and rehabilitation of the existing character-defining industrial sash windows. Boiler 3, the last phase of addition, was constructed in a different system, including Asbestos-bearing Transite panels. Our proposal reconstructs Boiler 3 re-using the existing windows and other exterior features as much as possible, while replacing the structure and exterior siding. The rooftop addition is set back from the parapet walls and differentiated from the historic structure with a highly glazed exterior wall. Ap r i l 24 , 20 1 9 , Wo r k Se s s i o n - It e m 1 9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 14 CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL The Steam Plant’s new layout prioritizes public activity at the ground level in the original Boiler 1 phase of the building. This public realm will remain a bright, voluminous space that visually connects all floors of the building, as it does today. The boiler itself will remain in place, acting as a centerpiece that frames the multi-purpose arts and performance opportunity space. Because the boiler occupies a significant portion of the public realm and its brick furnace walls pose a significant seismic life safety threat, we plan to safely remove the brick and expose the visually striking pipes that occupy the furnace cavity, much like those at the renovated Spokane Steam Plant in Washington. We will preserve the Steam Plant’s other extraordinary equipment for display as historic artifacts accompanied by interpretive features, interactive art, and outdoor sculpture on site.

But without its industrial infrastructure, the building is essentially a 4-story volume that contains one floor and a mezzanine. How can we build usable space within the existing structure in a way that honors and compliments its industrial past, while taking advantage of 21st century technology and remaining authentic to our current place and time? We plan to build the Steam Plant’s new floors out of cross laminated timber (CLT), an engineered wood construction system that is bringing mass timber structures back into the mainstream. CLT is a low embodied energy timber product made from regional renewable resources that is being pioneered by Oregon researchers and industries. In the Steam Plant, exposed CLT floor plates will provide visual warmth, structural integrity, and a meaningful connection to our timber heritage and future.

This pavilion will host events and performances leading up to the track and field championship and will be transformed into the site of the fan festival during the championships. The creation of these event spaces would cement Eugene’s legacy as the track capital of the world and allow the physical remnants of the event to live on in the renovated structure when complete. This will be ‘the place’ the world remembers and people visit to celebrate the legacy of track and field in Eugene.

We kicked things off on January 23rd at a Downtown Neighborhood Association Meeting where we were encouraged by some positive early feedback. The team engaged the public for feedback on several occasions at a variety of venues: UO Campus (spoke with ~125 people), downtown at the First Friday Art Walk (chatted with ~200 people), at the State of the Tech Community event (QA with ~150 people), at the EWEB Community Room for an open house (dialogged with ~150 people), as well as at the Lane County Fairgrounds during the annual Asian Celebration (spoke with ~300 people). We created a website (https://steamplant.us) to showcase the draft proposal which has been visited 2,427 times. We also engaged the public through a Steam Plant social media presence on both Facebook and Instagram. Our survey was promoted through the City of Eugene’s newsletter, Arts organization newsletters, as well as business and tech community newsletters. We spoke directly with over a thousand people and collected more than 900 surveys that guided refinements to the draft proposal. We read every single survey that was submitted and took the comments to heart. There was a significant amount of validation of the draft design in the survey results and we listened carefully for comments that would help us refine the draft. We received significant positive affirmation on the initial proposal. Here are some direct quotes: “I find this project exciting and a wonderful investment in our community. I’m very happy to hear about plans to incorporate creative and cultural components to the project. I feel that providing opportunities for the public to creatively engage builds connections among our community.” “For ten plus years, I’ve been part of a small group of people who have felt that the steam plant had a huge potential to bring people to the river to be entertained, learn and to mingle and your vision fills my Eugene heart and soul with that potential.” “Let’s do this! Projects like this transform a city–not just physically but in spirit. This is so wonderful for your community.” The quantitative feedback was also encouraging, 84% of survey respondents told us, for example, that the river overlook feature was important, with more than 60% of respondents actually going further to say that the feature was ‘extremely important.’ Ap r i l 24 , 20 1 9 , Wo r k Se s s i o n - It e m 1 9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 19 CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL SURVEY DISTRIBUTION The geographic distribution of survey responses reached all Eugene zip codes and included central and East Springfield as well. 877 of the 919 survey respondants provided their zip codes, as follows: • 97405 had 284 respondents.

The draft design could do better to fully integrate with the bike path. 2. The open space atrium needs to be more active and inviting. A place people will want to return to again and again. 3. The draft design could more fully optimize for the main attraction, the river. The design team responded to these themes in three key ways: • building a new, at-grade level within the existing building envelope will enable truly accessible access to the Steam Plant’s public amenities and provide a direct connection to the riverfront park and bike path; • relocating the historic generators and building continuous floors that connect the upper levels creates more human-scaled, occupiable retail/restaurant space in the public realm, and maximizes usable space with views of the river; and • opening the building to an attractive patio along the bike path will invite people to stop for refreshments and enjoy the Steam Plant’s unique proximity to the Willamette.

We have secured debt and equity funding from a wide range of capital sources: conventional commercial lenders, tax credit partners, federal HUD backed lenders, private debt lenders, private angel investors and equity investors through a Nasdaq-listed public offering. The team and its investment partners have the financial strength to bring the required equity and debt needed for a successful, well-capitalized project. We anticipate that we will form a Limited Liability Corporation that will capitalize, develop, manage and own the property. Ongoing operational management will be heavily focused on tenancy of the anchor office tenants, month-to-month co-working spaces and flexible meeting rooms, as well as oversight of the food and beverage service areas of the premises. it is anticipated that the total project costs will range from $25MM - $28MM including acquisition costs, hard and soft costs, financing and carrying costs. The team plans to structure the sources of funds through a combination of debt, tax credits, private equity and public/private partnership. This is a challenging project that aims to fulfill many of the desires expressed by the community during the original master planning process. In order to successfully incorporate these community priorities into the project in a lasting way, we are looking for opportunities to partner with the City on several key program elements of the project. 1.

The complex project also contains 2,758 SF of retail space and a park for public use. The property is currently under construction, with completion anticipated in October 2018. The project required patience and persistence to negotiate the complexities of providing public space in a private, market rate property.

The scheme has four big moves: peel back the layers of finishes to reveal the stout timber frame and wood floor and roof structure; strengthen the shell to resist seismic action; open up the solid walls and roof to daylight with large windows and skylights; and open up the west elevation to reveal the timber structure, with maximum transparency, exposure, and connection to Willamette Street. The 36,000-square-foot building, originally built in the 1940s for Lyons Furniture, consists of two 60’x120’ concrete boxes with a simple 20’x20’ timber frame grid. A new entry and hallway connects east-west, linking Willamette Street and the abundant parking on the alley. The simple, repetitive timber frame module allows for a range of tenant sizes, encouraging diversity in the tenant mix. The Willamette Street face is a series of garage- door storefronts, allowing smaller tenants to each connect to the generous sidewalk for outdoor seating and retail. The large overhang clad in reclaimed douglas fir from the original building creates an inviting and striking presence on this promising stretch of Eugene’s historic main street.

During the heavy winter of 2016, exceptional snowfall accumulation on the roof of the vacant Ray’s Grocery store in Bend’s Westside caused the roof to collapse leading to a complete building loss. These two events led Eugene’s G Group, the property owner, to hire deChase Miksis Development to provide complete development services to repurpose the dated shopping center into a vibrant, mixed use center with 20,000 SF of additional retail and 203 apartments. This project meets the long-term planning goals of the city by adding 203 housing units to the city’s core while remaking a dated shopping center into a neighborhood center with open space, housing and shops giving the owner a much improved asset. In order to meet the technical challenges the project presented and the relationships needed to work with the local jurisdiction, partnerships were formed between firms with local knowledge and firms with the background and expertise in this project type. CS Construction and BLRB are the local firms that understand the community and have the relationships with people approving the project. Essex Construction and GGLO Architects are the experts that ensure the design and technical expertise for success. These partnerships equaled more than the sum of their parts providing a lower risk delivery model for this ambitious project.

Surrounded by blocks with a diversity of architectural styles, the design of 5th & Idaho seamlessly integrates with complementary architecture and pedestrian-scale massing that is consistent with the district. In a unique public/private partnership with the City of Boise parks department, this project also developed a city-owned, developer-managed pocket park that allowed the building to step back from the street and pay homage to the adjacent historic building. This park serves as a neighborhood gathering space with a small stage for outdoor summer performances. The design of 5th & Idaho celebrates simple, modest materials and forms that are consistent with other projects in the district. In alignment with Boise’s planning goals, 5th & Idaho’s parking is all underground or within the alley.

It involved engaging and leading the community to a compelling vision for the sole opportunity to connect downtown Eugene to the Willamette River and redevelop an iconic property. The project achieved consensus approval from a diverse citizen advisory team, overwhelming support from the public, and was unanimously approved by the EWEB Board of Commissioners in June 2010. Establishing a new vision for the riverfront property owned by Eugene’s public utility was the final step in a decades-long process to renew the connection between Downtown Eugene and the Willamette River. The master plan for this 27-acre property models sustainable redevelopment in a variety of ways: it creates 8 acres of new riverfront open space, requires LEED certification for all new construction, improves public access and the trail system, establishes and enhances habitat, and proposes numerous ways to teach about our river, our history and our city.

The 27-acre property is currently owned by the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) and has been used for industrial purposes for much of the last 100 years. The UO Foundation conducted due diligence and negotiations with EWEB and the City of Eugene for the property’s purchase. The Foundation subsequently decided not to pursue the development. Rowell Brokaw Architects has been working to support the successful transformation of this property into a vibrant, mixed-use river district since leading the EWEB Riverfront Master Plan in 2009.

The renovation project provided much- needed infrastructure replacement and a full interior renovation of a historic building, transforming the historic Straub Hall (originally built as a dormitory) into an innovative 21st Century academic facility. It includes one of the nation’s finest technically daylit large lecture auditoriums, which seats nearly 500 students. The renovation included energy performance and seismic upgrades. Exterior windows were rebuilt to include double glazing while retaining historic wood frames. In the historic gable room, trusses and the gable end windows were stored off site while structural and seismic elements were rebuilt. The trusses and gable end windows were ultimately reintegrated.

It gets it water from the Calapooia River through a hand-dug canal affectionately called the Sodom Ditch. It was an active grain mill until nearly the end of the 20th Century, though the health regulations in the 1940s forced the flour mill to become a feed mill. Thompson’s Mills became a State Heritage Park and museum in 2004. The concrete silos are most likely the oldest slip-form concrete structures in Oregon, dating from 1917. Historic Building Consultant Don Peting started working on Thompson’s Mill back in the early 1970s when the last Thompson was still the owner. In the 1990s, he was part of a team that did HABS drawings, then later a condition assessment of the mill. Later, he was part of the PNWFS Field School in 2003 that brought students to work on the Mills. The FS students’ work included archaeology, timber frame construction and repair, wood window construction and repair of the head gates, and a study of water-powered engineering. A decade later, Don and his students completed a condition assessment of the mill house and restoration has been continuing since.

Special care was taken in the rehabilitation effort to stay true to the original underlying building structure and minimize new material content. ARCIMOTO FACTORY EUGENE, OREGON RELEVANCE • Adaptive Re-use Experience • Employment densification • Venture incubation The Arcimoto Manufacturing Plant in West Eugene is a shining example of this team’s ability to execute building rehabilitation efforts on an aggressive timeline. In less than two months, this 30,000 SF warehouse moved from site control to full occupancy. The effort included roof repair, energy-efficient lighting, renovated office space and plumbing, surface treatment, and electrical upgrades sufficient to facilitate a vehicle manufacturing enterprise. As with 5th and Blair above, special care was taken to maximize the value of the original space, while adapting it for higher value utilization.

I think integrating other aspects such as performance arts, art installations, etc. are also good ideas, but if you start giving all kinds of attention to different programming elements, then the overall experience gets watered down and weak. I support a 'major' focus with 'minor' supporting elements. 2/8/2019 1:03 PM 66 public meeting space and public gymnasium 2/8/2019 11:17 AM 67 Not at all important 2/8/2019 8:30 AM 68 A mix of performance arts, static art, and educational displays that give space + time to underrepresented communities in Eugene (i.e. people of color) or support the cultural history and environmental activism necessary to make the Steam Plant successful.

Museums become stagnant and they are not places for people to gather and socialize. Use the walls and some of the circulation spaces for historic references. Don't make it another place for transients to plant themselves. It needs people and families to come on a regular basis. Eugene residents are not going to come to a museum over and over again. Make it a place for people to stop while biking the paths to refresh and get something to eat and drink. Make it a place people will walk to with their kids and dogs. 2/1/2019 7:24 PM 84 All of the above but including a serious interpretive exhibit regarding the Willamette River Watershed and, separately, about energy and electric power. 2/1/2019 3:47 PM 85 Space for cultural conversations, history, & education 2/1/2019 2:33 PM 86 Native History Exhibits and Educational displays.

It is time to focus on the fine arts. 1/30/2019 12:22 PM 101 For this to be a real attraction the turbine needs to rotate and steam needs to appear to rotate that. This will be a lame excuse for an attraction otherwise. If there is food and drink it will take away from surrounding businesses and the focus of the attraction will be lost. 1/30/2019 12:21 PM 102 A mix of performance arts, art installations, and community event space.1/30/2019 11:59 AM 103 Open, low rent space for working artists.

What will they pay for - through meals, beverages - to enjoy our community. What is actually working elsewhere right now? In California? Along an San Antonio River? We don't need space that only is of interest to a few vocal Eugenians and will not 'pay' for itself. History displayed in a useful and compelling way is good. Art that is compelling is always good.

If the steam plant is connected to the park or bike path, I don't want a bunch of obnoxious noise thst that which has essentially ruined the park blocks for me in warmer months.

Such spaces are in short supply and are essential for democracy to function. 1/23/2019 7:08 PM 158 What type of culture are we talking? Id suggest a collaborative community space - who controls the cultural elements that are on display here are extremely important when it comes to how Eugene projects its image onto the community (and visitors). So Id vote for a Mix, but lets keep it open to various community and business functions, rather than an inclusive art display. 1/23/2019 6:57 PM 159 Not necessary 1/23/2019 5:15 PM 160 I want everything 1/21/2019 11:27 AM 9 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 16.43%148 12.43%112 57.16%515 13.98%126 Q5 The proposed draft redesign is considering including commercial office space as a way to make the project financially sustainable.

Introducing a daytime workforce to a structure that would otherwise be dominated by afternoon/ nightlife activities is wise. 2/13/2019 10:33 AM 34 Artists/craftsmen (weavers, potters, painters) who are willing to allow the public to see what they are doing and sell items, or meeting spaces for the public at night and work spaces for flexible work during the day; no spaces that are completely blocked from public use 2/12/2019 1:09 AM 35 Would be nice to see environmental non-profits that focus around the local ecosystem get some space. 2/11/2019 2:33 PM 36 Demolish the building and restore the natural riverbank 2/9/2019 10:55 AM 37 This space should not be privatized in any way.

The bottom floor w/big ramp access would provide exhibit storage, and an exhibit design & creation studio, two resources many repurposed museums are lacking. 1/30/2019 3:45 PM 63 None of the above 1/30/2019 3:31 PM 64 I’d rather there be businesses that draw me there.

If this is an attraction for cultural purposes there can be no businesses on site. You can't make everyone happy by throwing in a little bit of this and a little bit of that. This is seriously prime real estate and if it's to have offices then drop the culture front and charge high rents to subsidize homeless housing or something useful. 1/30/2019 12:21 PM 69 No office space in such a historic building 1/30/2019 12:11 PM 70 No opinion 1/30/2019 12:07 PM 71 maker space would add to the creative ferment of the building.1/30/2019 11:59 AM 72 Mixed art space.1/30/2019 11:41 AM 73 Successfully recreate what other communities worldwide have done; provide studio condominiums above.

I get the point about financial sustainability, but I would suggest that office space is arranged not as a centerpiece to the environment, otherwise the building will not serve its true purpose as center piece and meeting point for the various nearby neighborhoods of UO/Downtown/Waterfront etc. 1/23/2019 6:57 PM 126 whatever the market is looking for 1/23/2019 6:12 PM 14 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 Q6 What do you like most about the proposed Steam Plant building revitalization design?

I think subdividing massive office rooms into small affordable studio spaces would be ideal. Artists have great potential to bring wonder, entertainment, culture, beauty and commerce to this space. I have seen other cities with thriving art scenes that are centralized around networks of hundreds of studio spaces. These spaces are critical to a thriving arts community. 2/21/2019 9:43 AM 3 Having a unique place to enjoy our river and gather!2/20/2019 10:43 PM 4 It would be in your best interests to consider adding more intentional artists/scientists/creative spaces. Especially as the city is eyeing a grant dedicated to supporting/enriching such endeavors that builds on the Knight Science campus . I feel this is VERY lacking in your current design. Office space is not particularly needed or wanted from the community at large. 2/20/2019 10:32 PM 5 The possibility of having a vibrant arts cultural hub for production, display, and performance, which would be not only a capitol driver but a cultural draw. 2/20/2019 7:17 PM 6 The open space concept.2/20/2019 6:06 PM 7 Utilizing and showcasing the historical elements of the existing building.2/20/2019 3:34 PM 8 It is a fascinating piece of Eugene history.

I hope this aspect of it stays true and that the building embraces arts and culture. There are so few dedicated spaces for this in the city, especially for the visual arts so having a space that would allow for that would be very special. 2/20/2019 9:03 AM 18 The video and website only show 3 renderings of a made-over industrial building/decrepit powerplant. Not much vitality, 21st Century Humanity, or even Commercial (trading) value here. The focus should be on joining the Willamette River to the Local Population. There are hints of Transportation "Gateway" or open Congregation/Communication Center here, but I come away with a general lack of progressive community "soul". 2/20/2019 7:45 AM 19 River overlook 2/20/2019 12:50 AM 20 Mixing old and new, educating, bringing work space together with public space. But you need to have space to mix with each other, perhaps having some presentations along the sides to inspire conversations.

Obviously the prettiest drawing is the most appealing and best through-out aspect of the design. Therefore the outlook is the most appealing --at this point, based on what you provided.

Creating a riverfront pathway with shops, cafe's, pubs, etc will open up a new, exciting, useable area for all citizens. 2/18/2019 10:59 AM 78 I love that it’s reusing an existing old building that has just been sitting vacant.2/18/2019 9:49 AM 79 History of building and the revitalization of the riverfront 2/18/2019 7:23 AM 80 I love the windows in the current building and I’m glad the proposed design keeps a portion of them. 2/18/2019 1:37 AM 81 I like that they are incorporating the original building and having a mixture of office and cultural space. 2/17/2019 11:44 PM 82 Business 2/17/2019 11:26 PM 83 It’s innovative and new 2/17/2019 10:36 PM 84 I like the idea of having a restored and renovated historical site for community access.2/17/2019 7:59 PM 85 Providing a publicly accessible point on the river for culture, dining, etc. we need more such places that take advantage of the river and its vistas! 2/17/2019 6:18 PM 86 It’s finally happening.2/17/2019 5:34 PM 87 The retention of the edifice and making it a public space.2/17/2019 3:56 PM 88 That it’s be redesigned and not demolished.2/17/2019 2:26 PM 89 Saving this historic structure.2/17/2019 2:14 PM 17 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 90 The river overlook 2/17/2019 12:48 PM 91 The river 2/17/2019 11:04 AM 92 Looks nice.2/17/2019 10:42 AM 93 Not sure yet 2/17/2019 10:22 AM 94 Renovating an historic building, making a destination public place for eating, shopping, gathering, and UTILIZING the views of the river and access to the bike path. Ponce City Market in Atlanta came to mind when I first saw the video about this project. It's a great space with access to the their bike path. We need to take advantage of this river running through town and make more places for the community to gather. Thanks! 2/17/2019 10:17 AM 95 Preservation of the steam boilers and turbines 2/17/2019 9:40 AM 96 Eugene's lack of a riverfront restaurant zone is a tragedy. This proposal helps get us started.2/17/2019 9:12 AM 97 The use of a beautiful, historic building to really enhance & utilize the amazing spot it’s located.2/17/2019 8:55 AM 98 It’s doing anything with a currently terrible location in the middle of town 2/17/2019 8:52 AM 99 The modern design mixed with historical preservation of the space. This is something that would set Eugene apart from many other cities. However, I wouldn’t see myself visiting unless there was a cafe or restaurant or something that you could enjoy while taking in the views of the river. 2/17/2019 8:44 AM 100 The overlook. Use of a great area that is currently an eye sore 2/17/2019 8:36 AM 101 History preservation.2/17/2019 8:32 AM 102 Preserving the integrity of the building and maligning it open to the public.2/17/2019 7:22 AM 103 A public place near the river 2/17/2019 6:42 AM 104 I like the river overlook.2/16/2019 4:22 PM 105 I understand and support the weworkesque design you are trying to follow. But that will not draw people to the facility and neither will an art museum. This should be a young vibrant area of our community. Perhaps a riverfront wall of garage doors that open up to one of Eugene’s biggest asset- the river. I can envision a large open bar with seating encircling it. Showcase our many wonderful breweries and wineries for out of Towners and locals. Offer local farm to table food. We are a green community and have an abundance of fresh produce and grass fed beef. This does not have to be expensive or fancy. With the garage doors open place tables inside and out. Extend a deck out over the river for all to enjoy whether it is from food trucks placed strategically on the grounds or people brownbagging it. Allow people to bring their drinks out to the patio and river overhang. Build it and they will come. Make it stuffy and lackluster and it will be a place that people ride their bikes by, jog by or just visit once. 2/16/2019 3:53 PM 106 Historic pieces of old steam plant and location near river 2/16/2019 12:57 PM 107 Historic preservation elements.2/16/2019 11:46 AM 108 The rooftop access to views of the river and city. Aside from Skinner Butte, Spencer Butte and Hendrick’s Park’s natural viewpoints of our Emerald Valley, our community has access to few other high points to take in the beauty of the river and city surrounding. This is a valuable resource worth sharing. 2/16/2019 11:05 AM 109 Keeping the cool aspects of the plant & the industrial feel.

Eugene has virtually no riverfront destination options for dining and drinking, aside from Valley River Inn and McMenamins. We need more places that showcase the things that make our town so cool: river, beer, food, people 2/14/2019 1:51 PM 140 i like that it incorporates the new and old uses the location and history as an asset to the building project. I like that it may have a museum/ performing arts space 2/14/2019 1:50 PM 141 I like it. Keeps the feel of the old steamplant and adds new section that seems to meld well 2/14/2019 1:46 PM 142 I'd like to see a performing arts/music venue, somewhere I can bike to and grab dinner and a beer right on the river in the summer sounds lovely 2/14/2019 12:30 PM 143 the concepts feel like a reclaiming of a lost part of our local culture.

The famous "Swastika" on the valve needs to be an "Historical" reference to the "Country of Manufacture" (German Engineering, as it was, in the 1930's.) and Not-a-nod to the Nazi party.

I also like the idea of keeping elements of the existing structure in place.. 2/8/2019 1:04 PM 240 I appreciate your commitment to retaining the 'bones' of the original Steam Plant while, at the same time, integrating a more modern portion. I like the dynamism that this interlocking of parts creates. 2/8/2019 1:03 PM 241 Nothing. It's horrid.2/8/2019 11:17 AM 242 Just that the building isn't simply being razed .

I love the Williams and Dame plan but this riverfront needs more than one new restaurant to really bring people to it. Would be great to see a restaurant + small cafe. Coffee, food, beer - the three items required to survive in the PNW. 2/8/2019 9:31 AM 245 The openness, the rooftop area, the incorporation of cultural/art space 2/8/2019 9:14 AM 246 The eating and drinking location is key.

This project would be a marvelous addition to share with visitors coming into Eugene. The blending of past and present is such a sound concept. I do believe in the inclusion of a brew house or the like and office space to create sustainability for the project. We have ample areas to showcase the arts and sports. I feel we need more places of interest to meet friends or share with those friends and family from out of our area.

Allowing everyone to come and enjoy the innovation and creativity and history of this building. 2/4/2019 10:30 PM 289 Connection to the river 2/4/2019 9:13 PM 290 The use of cross laminated timber 2/4/2019 7:52 PM 291 I like utilizing the spectacular view, I like the idea that it includes restaurant and community space, I like maintaining the historic industrial elements and significance. I like the cross-laminated timber as a sustainable and innovative building material. I like that it looks like there is a rooftop/balcony feature and I hope it remains open to the public. 2/4/2019 4:17 PM 292 It keeps in touch with its history while creating space for innovation, culture and public gather venue. Very exciting! 2/4/2019 4:14 PM 293 That it will be used for public purposes...with some rental space to help with the remodel and ongoing costs. 2/4/2019 3:20 PM 294 I like anything that encourages more people to come downtown.2/4/2019 2:58 PM 295 A new idea promoting arts and other creative events 2/4/2019 2:29 PM 296 I like it's location and plans to incorporate the history of the original use into the design.2/4/2019 2:28 PM 297 I love the current building and the idea of preserving as much of the design as possible. The river front public space is very exciting. 2/4/2019 2:26 PM 298 maintaining the existing structure & historic features 2/4/2019 2:23 PM 299 the mixed use elements 2/4/2019 2:19 PM 300 Historical and Public access 2/4/2019 2:17 PM 301 The veranda overlooking the river.

The new design respects/retains the original structure. Connection to the river. 2/4/2019 1:55 PM 307 Preserves an historic building and makes it accessible to the public.2/4/2019 11:30 AM 308 The river overlook 2/4/2019 11:16 AM 309 open space inside, with views to river 2/4/2019 10:58 AM 310 the view of the river and connection to the community 2/4/2019 9:28 AM 311 We need something there that will invite us in as residents and neighbors, something dominate and accessible. 2/4/2019 6:09 AM 312 Repurposes the structure instead of tearing it downn. Showcases a historic building.2/3/2019 11:25 PM 313 Repurposing existing building with history and character -- perfect for artists!2/3/2019 6:17 PM 24 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 314 Mixed retail and residential space 2/3/2019 5:36 PM 315 Open spaces, retail use to create a destination location 2/3/2019 5:36 PM 316 Repurposing an existing building instead of tearing completely down to start over.2/3/2019 3:49 PM 317 I want to go hang out and watch the river, can't do that in too many places in Eugene. A brewery and restaurants would be ideal, it'd be like what Bend has. 2/3/2019 10:00 AM 318 Keeping historical character. If additional space needs to be added keep in historical context. What I have seen currently is another example of architects trying to combine styles which is typically is their downfall. 2/3/2019 9:20 AM 319 Utilizing the existing equipment as an educational tool. Highlighting the area's past industry and providing inspiration for future industry. 2/2/2019 9:58 PM 320 The inclusion of CLT technology to provide both quake-resistant structural elements as well as a show-and-tell opportunity for CLT as an important development for the traditional timber industry, one of the key historic stories of Eugene's change. 2/2/2019 4:45 PM 321 the river overlook and large outdoor space 2/2/2019 12:53 PM 322 I like the water view walkway. I think the add on office space looks too modern and stands out too much from the preservation aspect of the steam plant. 2/2/2019 10:58 AM 323 size and location 2/2/2019 9:00 AM 324 Public access to the steam plant is key — the more ways this can happen, the better.2/1/2019 11:19 PM 325 The windows in thaat building are amazing and should be kept.2/1/2019 7:24 PM 326 Active use that brings life and energy to the river front.2/1/2019 4:02 PM 327 1. Connection to river and cafe/food service; 2. Office space for economic basis; 3. Maintaining open nature of generator hall. 2/1/2019 3:47 PM 328 That is happening and that the process is thoughtful and includes public input 2/1/2019 2:33 PM 329 Repurposing a blighted building/property 2/1/2019 2:03 PM 330 N/A 2/1/2019 9:53 AM 331 That something existing is to be used. That is much preferred (to me) over the recent new construction that has taken place in town over the past few years. 2/1/2019 9:39 AM 332 If this is a historically significant building, I appreciate the effort to retain its design elements and silhouette, and the effort to showcase components (turbine, etc.) that remind visitors of its original use. 2/1/2019 9:15 AM 333 riverfront access 2/1/2019 9:10 AM 334 The views and openeness 2/1/2019 9:07 AM 335 That the building is getting some attention instead of rotting in the mist like it has done for 30+ years 2/1/2019 8:59 AM 336 Exciting to have a nicely designed urban space and building with public access on the River. Connecting downtown to the river has been a struggle and this is a very good piece to start with. 1/31/2019 11:33 PM 337 I like the partial inclusion of the modern building, and the preservation of the historic open spaces.1/31/2019 10:38 PM 338 Keeping it's original design. I love all the windows and the history of it 1/31/2019 10:12 PM 339 I like that you are using the existing steam plant instead of just tearing it down. The overlook is cool. 1/31/2019 5:52 PM 340 The timber construction and open space 1/31/2019 5:49 PM 341 The overlook on the river!1/31/2019 5:33 PM 342 I'd like see the building look as much like it does now as possible, to preserve history.1/31/2019 5:29 PM 343 More usable space and walkable areas for visitors and locals to explore 1/31/2019 5:06 PM 344 Preservation of this building is a must. I am simply glad that it won't be torn down and would love to see as much of this building in it's original state as possible. 1/31/2019 4:58 PM 25 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 345 Steam Plant itself, standing alone or with a less dominant addition. This doesn’t look like a revitalization design. From Hilyard, it’ll just be a blah office building. 1/31/2019 4:34 PM 346 visual access to the river 1/31/2019 4:15 PM 347 The fact that the industrial character of the interior is preserved and given a new purpose.1/31/2019 4:11 PM 348 Restoring and protecting the Steam Plant.1/31/2019 3:42 PM 349 Site that retains historic significance and feel where you can meet friends for food, drink and conversation. Also the office component adds commercial activity which supports a nice sense of activity. 1/31/2019 3:01 PM 350 River front use and views 1/31/2019 2:10 PM 351 Using existing structure with enhancements to make it a destination.1/31/2019 12:41 PM 352 The open feeling and preservation of the EWEB power plant history and technology.1/31/2019 12:33 PM 353 the current building is pretty much an eye sore. Something nice and inviting to the public as well as being a place for business, sounds great 1/31/2019 12:10 PM 354 It is metropolitan looking and provides a great space for casual gathering.1/31/2019 11:45 AM 355 Openness 1/31/2019 11:22 AM 356 Saving the “bones” and iconic elements of the historic industrial building with a viable adaptive use. 1/31/2019 9:51 AM 357 That it will help to revitalize and sustain the riverfront. That it could provide viable venues for visual arts. 1/31/2019 8:54 AM 358 TO finally get a center of interest and education for our community to brag about. We really lack a "there". I am connected with Lane County Historic Museum and you must be aware of the it needing a larger venue. Seattles' Museum of History and Industry is a great model to aspire to. I'm so pleased with this news. 1/31/2019 3:04 AM 359 That it is being kept as historical value. River views from inside the building would be a bonus. Happy Hour cocktails or distillery & beer availability. Musical talents performing. 1/31/2019 1:24 AM 360 I find it a little terrifying and inconsistent with what community revitalization supporters have been talking about for this building for decades. Let's see your next concept. 1/30/2019 11:54 PM 361 next to the river 1/30/2019 11:10 PM 362 I am always happy to see existing buildings maintained and used, if they can safely be remodeled to meet current building standards. This seems like the most environmentally sound course. 1/30/2019 9:49 PM 363 You're assuming I've seen it. I have not.1/30/2019 9:43 PM 364 That it will hopefullly keep its historic footprint 1/30/2019 9:17 PM 365 Public connection to river and park. Looks more active and meaningful to the community than what I've seen of Williams and Dame proposal. 1/30/2019 8:31 PM 366 Breezeways and river overlook and playground. I wish they had those oversized rocking horses like Reed and Cross used to have. Man, I could ride those for hours in the 70's. 1/30/2019 8:30 PM 367 opening up Eugene to the water.... it is Eugene's best feature...1/30/2019 7:54 PM 368 Connection to the river 1/30/2019 7:34 PM 369 I like the entire plan and its perfect balance. It would be a fun place to go for a beautiful view, food and drink, enjoyment of the arts, being a great historic landmark and very importantly expanding the commercial office space availability that is severely lacking in prominent areas. I will only have by business in the major downtown/campus areas. 1/30/2019 5:49 PM 370 River overlook connection and large open spaces with consideration for mixed uses 1/30/2019 5:35 PM 371 open space 1/30/2019 5:30 PM 372 I'm from San Diego, a place where the river has been hidden-most don't even know it exists. Opening this building to the public invites the river into our society...helps us appreciate the water that flows through our taps...provides a place to appreciate the beauty of nature amidst the city. 1/30/2019 5:21 PM 373 That it will be a cool place to go as a community member and with visitors.1/30/2019 4:48 PM 26 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 374 Changes an eyesore into a viable, accessible space.1/30/2019 4:22 PM 375 Keeps the historic structure as part of the building Maximizes connection to and views of the river.

In fact, the museum would ideally have a “history of steam”component. 1/30/2019 12:22 PM 398 Desirable setting for public gatherings and promotion of the Arts.1/30/2019 12:21 PM 399 Nothing. You need to decide if it's occupancy is cultural or business, not both. If it's cultural then make it an awesome attraction and charge admission, but if it's business then make it so and just charge high rents to subsidize something useful the community needs. Personally I would not take my visiting friends or relatives to look at a lump of turbine. 1/30/2019 12:21 PM 400 Combining history with practical financially sustained commercial use.1/30/2019 12:20 PM 401 location by the river 1/30/2019 12:16 PM 402 The public spaces. I really like the idea that most the space would be used for commerce. Affordable Pike market type vendor spots. Food vendors. Crafters. Like some of what we have at Saturday market but ask the time. A way for people to get a start with a retail business...low cost spaces. Something fun to attract tourists. 1/30/2019 12:13 PM 27 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 403 Opening more of the riverfront to the citizens of Eugene! This vibrant and important natural feature of our city has been mostly unavailable to the public, other than the walking trail and just 2 restaurants. Bringing more public access to this area will be incredibly important to bring more citizen usage to this area of downtown, helping with the revitalization of downtown. 1/30/2019 12:13 PM 404 Retaining the original features of the building.1/30/2019 12:11 PM 405 Very little. I think the building itself is wonderful on the outside as it is, and the renderings of the outside are atrocious. 1/30/2019 12:11 PM 406 I most like the idea of making this historic building accessible to the public and encouraging community access to the riverfront and Eugene history 1/30/2019 12:07 PM 407 I think we need more spaces like this by the river to revitalize the area. Eugene can feel somewhat provincial at times and we need more spaces like this that can bring community together, allow for cultural events, and provide a forward-looking vision for the city. I think this is a fantastic idea overall. 1/30/2019 12:00 PM 408 public creative space that's not just restaurants, bars or stores.1/30/2019 11:59 AM 409 Honoring the past, preparing, embracing the future.

It is no different than any other building in this region. The value it is given is simply a matter of opinion. Please do not try to make this building/area into eateries and tourist spots for money. This is not an answer. The best use of any space anywhere is to have collaborative art and with that a real learning experience. One of the greatest things to value is perspective. This town does not need a new way to make money. It needs more ways for its citizens to express art and to absorb art and to have greater perspective, which helps our understanding. Art was made in caves after the catalyst revealed our creative mind to us. Our values have shifted in an unimaginably awful way into the patriarcal, big business, surveillance culture. May we, the great artistic Eugene people, please have the right to all things art. If this must be made into a thing of attraction, it should be free open space for art and community. 1/30/2019 11:41 AM 420 Keeping some of its historical features.1/30/2019 11:40 AM 421 saving a historical structure 1/30/2019 11:38 AM 422 The overlook, the office space, café/food hopefully?, meeting space 1/30/2019 11:34 AM 423 Having pride in the design elements of our industrial era.1/30/2019 11:34 AM 424 the preservation of the steam plant and public access 1/30/2019 11:34 AM 425 Bridging history of the space and previous use with a modern, cultural experience -- funded with a financially sustainable model. 1/30/2019 11:31 AM 426 ON the river 1/30/2019 11:31 AM 427 ...that it look beautiful...that we don't spend a million dollars on ugly.

That it's not being torn down for high end condos. That the intention is to remodel it into an accessible public space. 1/30/2019 11:15 AM 440 I like the added space and the river overlook. I also think that one needs to add public meeting space of some type, like the library has, that would draw diverse crowd of users to it. 1/30/2019 11:14 AM 441 I love that there will be a story and a place for people to come together for conversation. I like the shape of the building and the opportunity to have views of the Willamette River. I love that the space is going to be used for good and that it will be a place I can take my children to show them culture and historical purpose, educating them on where they are from. I am looking forward to a cup of coffee while looking over the river and listening to the water rush by. 1/30/2019 8:14 AM 442 I love the river overlook and that the redesign honors the history of the Steam Plant by showcasing the iconic, red turbines. The design aesthetic is clean and modern, yet allows the industrial history to shine through. Nice! 1/29/2019 4:41 PM 443 I can’t really comment much on the design as I’ve only seen 3 images. The only thought I have is that I really hope they maximize the prime location of the building by maintaining as many site lines towards the river as possible. Adding a terrace or any additional space that can extend the buildings footprint out towards the water seems like a sound idea. Happy to see the riverfront is finally being developed. Such a shame to have all that gorgeous acreage not being utilized for the public benefit. New site for the Eugene celebration? Eh eh?!? 1/29/2019 11:07 AM 444 I love the idea of reconnecting our active city life to the river that run though it.

I like that it keeps our city dense rather than building further out of town. 1/28/2019 6:52 PM 455 Preservation and repurposing of historic structures 1/28/2019 6:48 PM 456 The river views 1/28/2019 6:43 PM 457 Preservation of the building 1/28/2019 6:38 PM 458 public space next to the riverfront 1/28/2019 5:42 PM 459 Keeping the Steam Plant architectural elements in place, big windows 1/28/2019 4:58 PM 29 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 460 It maintains the Steam Plant as a visual landmark.1/28/2019 4:30 PM 461 Making the old new again with active offices, museum/art, and dinning.1/28/2019 4:29 PM 462 Keeping parts of the old Steam Plant, while updating it as well with a lot of windows letting in natural light and being able to see the river and walk out to a seating/viewing area. 1/28/2019 2:59 PM 463 All of it.1/28/2019 2:49 PM 464 Making it public not a private building.1/28/2019 2:45 PM 465 walking pier out to river as shown in image 1/28/2019 2:15 PM 466 I like that it incorporates the original structure of the steamplant while making it a workable and public space 1/28/2019 1:58 PM 467 Opening up Eugene's riverfront to the public, whatever form that takes and as long as it doesn't harm the riparian zone is great progress for us!! 1/28/2019 1:35 PM 468 Space for public interaction and enjoyment 1/28/2019 1:24 PM 469 The mix of retaining the existing historical building uniqueness while building for the future with the CLT 'extension'. Also keeping the river viewpoint, if it's retained, separated and elevated over the riverfront path to reduce circulation conflict. 1/28/2019 1:21 PM 470 Celebrating the history while looking toward the future...and including access to the community.1/28/2019 1:13 PM 471 The mix of modern while still keeping the original feel of the space.1/28/2019 1:02 PM 472 I most enjoy the connection to the river. The reach out to the Willamette. Sort of like the Santa Monica Pier's reach out to the Pacific Ocean. Create a clean environment and sell beverages out there and people will come. The river view will be unique. 1/28/2019 12:58 PM 473 The modern looking exterior and the platform overlooking the river.1/28/2019 12:50 PM 474 modern design with respect to history and utilizing the cool industrial remnants.

Connecting to the river to provide quality space for locals and tourists—hopefully detract from the negative activities that happen in that area. 1/28/2019 11:50 AM 477 That you are making use of an existing building. Still: what the city needs is housing. It's not rocket science. 1/28/2019 11:32 AM 478 Preserves the history while adding value with commercial space 1/28/2019 10:28 AM 479 combination use of the space - both for entertainment and for work use.1/28/2019 10:16 AM 480 The reuse of existing structures that are iconic and cultural along with its ability to contribute to river front vitality. 1/28/2019 10:14 AM 481 Space where the wonderful river views in Eugene are actually utilized for the public. I loved the outdoor deck space with the tables overlooking the river. 1/28/2019 10:13 AM 482 Old meets new and the river overlook 1/28/2019 10:02 AM 483 It kick off the revitalization of riverfront. It would be great if it stayed in strategy with the innovation district planning. Maybe offering a % of office space as transitional space for early stage companies that are maturing out of co-working spaces? 1/28/2019 9:54 AM 484 Make it a destination! Go big and bold.1/28/2019 9:41 AM 485 The river overlook and restoring/adding to the exterior of the building.1/28/2019 9:34 AM 486 The big idea. Not a fan of the execution.1/28/2019 9:12 AM 487 Not much 1/28/2019 8:18 AM 488 Potential for more restaurants/winery/brewery/shops to be along the River for people to enjoy.1/28/2019 7:50 AM 489 I think it could be beautiful.1/28/2019 12:30 AM 490 Architectural design 1/27/2019 10:08 PM 30 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 491 Increasing public access by incorporating shops/restaurants/ and community activities 1/27/2019 7:38 PM 492 The preservation of the historic building and accessibility to the public as a place to gather by the river. 1/27/2019 7:17 PM 493 I would like the space preserved as much as possible, but let's be realistic. There needs to be revenue-generating space to make that viable. That's why we'll need a mix of space use. 1/27/2019 6:45 PM 494 Keep history and look of the facility.1/27/2019 4:48 PM 495 Public access to river views 1/27/2019 2:20 PM 496 Better than another homeless camp 1/27/2019 2:16 PM 497 not a fucking thing stop wasting my tax money we do not have 1/27/2019 2:15 PM 498 Saving it the building But looks to be leaving to much of old and Not maximizing the use 1/27/2019 2:03 PM 499 The river overlook and the view from the top. Nothing on the inside is impressive.1/27/2019 1:17 PM 500 It should be a FUN immersive experience.1/27/2019 9:27 AM 501 That it seeks to preserve the unique and historic building.1/27/2019 8:37 AM 502 Preserving the original architecture where possible and adding new where needed for functionality.1/27/2019 8:29 AM 503 Preservation of original features 1/26/2019 10:40 PM 504 It is extremely important to me that the building be preserved.1/26/2019 10:30 PM 505 The introduction of a new building add on for dedicated office use. It gives the building a way to modernize. 1/26/2019 9:04 PM 506 That Eugene will have a better connection to the river.1/26/2019 8:10 PM 507 I like that it is preserving the elements of the original architecture. The east side of the building received a rather ugly addition at some point in its history, and it appears the remodel will remedy that and add height. I like that. 1/26/2019 7:11 PM 508 The diversity of food options on the 1st floor, especially a tap room, and the plans for a rooftop cafe/bar!! What a great opportunity for people to enjoy a fantastic view 1/26/2019 6:50 PM 509 It could be hip and cool and right on the river. A big draw.1/26/2019 4:02 PM 510 River overlook, IF it doesn't interfere with the river bike path.1/26/2019 3:07 PM 511 Not much.1/26/2019 2:48 PM 512 Views, history, access to river.1/26/2019 2:20 PM 513 Human activity occurring on multiple levels.

I'd love to see that preserved.1/26/2019 12:29 AM 527 We will wait and see.1/26/2019 12:23 AM 528 Keeps an open feel. Still looks like a steam plant.Open to the public. Shouldn't be a high-end operation that most can't afford to go in. 1/25/2019 11:24 PM 529 That it will be a place for the public to engage with art and creativity. Preferably non-profit.1/25/2019 11:21 PM 530 That the city is asking us, the public what we would like to see.1/25/2019 11:20 PM 531 That the design will revitalize and include the Steam Plant as part of the design 1/25/2019 10:37 PM 532 That it creates a dedicated space for creativity, arts, food, culture, entrepreneurship, business, and community to convene. The idea generation, collaboration and creation that will come from this versatility is going to be amazing. 1/25/2019 9:31 PM 533 The overlook 1/25/2019 9:15 PM 534 Expanded housing downtown 1/25/2019 7:30 PM 535 I have not seen the proposed steam plant building revitalization design; was that part of the survey? 1/25/2019 7:16 PM 536 I’m sad the Riverfront Park isn’t doing the history/culture thing and glad this will. I like art installation and music space too (it only let me pick one). I can’t imagine how this is financially viable so I like whatever you do to make that work. 1/25/2019 6:26 PM 537 Art and culture space 1/25/2019 6:16 PM 538 I love the style of the draft renderings. The hip, urban, open feel that you typically see in a brewery or tech office space. Blending it with the park seems like a great idea as well as incorporating it into the river with the overlook. Our city should be maximizing river access and views and this location has a great opportunity for that. 1/25/2019 6:03 PM 539 Keeping the building and some of its historic features.1/25/2019 5:38 PM 540 I would like to see space that encourages gathering/connecting, with art that inspires innovative thought and conversation. 1/25/2019 5:37 PM 541 Keeping (and restoring) this historic building is delightful! Nice to reuse something of importance, rather than knock it down, when possible. 1/25/2019 5:36 PM 542 Keeping historic bones while freshening structural space with wood, light. Opening five stories to riverviews....will there also be views to Spencer Butte and the University? Keeping this publicly open! 1/25/2019 5:13 PM 543 not much - this entire riverfront project is intended to be a community space; now a bar or restaurant will price out a large population of the community 1/25/2019 5:12 PM 544 I like most that Eugene is taking bold action and allowing for economic development in Eugene.1/25/2019 5:11 PM 545 Location 1/25/2019 4:54 PM 546 better than it is now. Public access.1/25/2019 4:51 PM 547 Not nearly enough information in three renderings to offer an opinion 1/25/2019 4:49 PM 548 Honestly I like that the building will be saved and repurposed for another use. This building has always stood out to me as representing part of the area's history. 1/25/2019 4:47 PM 549 The representation of the grittiness of Oregon pioneers and business leaders. Keep the history and sense of industry. 1/25/2019 4:12 PM 550 Using a historical landmark in a new way!1/25/2019 4:05 PM 551 Mix of old and new; strong relationship to the river and natural environment; openness; mixed-use 1/25/2019 3:53 PM 552 I like that it overlooks the river 1/25/2019 3:51 PM 553 It's nice to see the building reused in a way that could integrate private business and public access to such a cool cultural resource. 1/25/2019 3:43 PM 554 Not much. The building as shown in the renderings isn't aesthetically pleasing from the interior or exterior. There is very little information about it, but it appear to waste a lot of space. 1/25/2019 3:01 PM 32 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 555 adding more retail, brew pubs, historical and local culture 1/25/2019 3:01 PM 556 Making use of idle space.1/25/2019 2:35 PM 557 Great exterior historic design with huge open interior space to accommodate public enjoyment of retail uses such as restaurants, brew pubs and wine bars and retail shopping that will be lacking from the Back-to-the-River development that will be residential with limited public access. 1/25/2019 2:35 PM 558 Creating a space that will draw people to the park for various uses.1/25/2019 2:30 PM 559 Maintaining the elements that let people know and see the history of the building.1/25/2019 2:23 PM 560 the overlook 1/25/2019 2:16 PM 561 Preserving the historic building for new uses 1/25/2019 2:11 PM 562 Public access.

The current designs look boring and staid. 1/25/2019 1:36 PM 566 I feel that it is important that the boiler and turbines have been preserved. Also, the junction of the existing structure and added structure with the clt "pop' out is compelling; could there be more interplay between the two structures here? 1/25/2019 1:18 PM 567 I don't see the practicality of maintaining the high ceilings in a public space. Environmental control in the structure will be very expensive. 1/25/2019 1:11 PM 568 Updating the building design in a way that accents the historical components and not drowning them out. 1/25/2019 1:09 PM 569 Maintaining the existing facade especially the windows.1/25/2019 1:04 PM 570 just need something over looking river for business or restaurants or hotels 1/25/2019 1:03 PM 571 River views.1/25/2019 1:00 PM 572 Developing on existing developed land 1/25/2019 1:00 PM 573 Cultural spaces are so important and Eugene doesn't have enough. Keeping the space refreshed every so often will encourage locals to revisit time and time again. 1/25/2019 12:57 PM 574 I LIKE THE MANNER IN WHICH IT RETAINS ITS AUTHENTICITY AND ORIGINALITY. I ALSO LIKE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC DESIGN. 1/25/2019 12:57 PM 575 proximity to river, brownfield development, re-use of existing building 1/25/2019 12:37 PM 576 river views, access 1/25/2019 12:34 PM 577 Nothing. Sometimes it is OK to just start over with fresh new ideas. Build something new and exciting, not some rehash of an old building that should just be gone. 1/25/2019 12:11 PM 578 Preservation of historical building 1/25/2019 12:10 PM 579 Cleanup of one ugly building.1/25/2019 12:06 PM 580 The fact that a space that is not being used and is an eyesore.. is now being used.1/25/2019 12:05 PM 581 The preservation of the historic equipment and boilers.1/25/2019 12:02 PM 582 public access that is rewarded with historical/cultural displays and public-facing amenities like food and beverage and I LOVE the riverwalk concept and hope it can happen. 1/25/2019 11:50 AM 583 The views of the River and the potential for entertainment and restaurant space 1/25/2019 11:37 AM 584 It looks modern.1/25/2019 11:35 AM 585 I thinks sounds nice and it’ll look nice. I believe they needed to do something there.1/25/2019 11:35 AM 586 I like the openness and transfer of light. I also appreciate what seems like historical elements will be retained. 1/25/2019 11:35 AM 587 Connects downtown to the river 1/25/2019 11:31 AM 33 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 588 I like the history and the different levels/shapes/textures/lighting and that it is attractive - like 5th St. Market. 1/25/2019 11:29 AM 589 The opening of the space to the public. More access to the river.1/25/2019 10:55 AM 590 Connecting the past with the present and future. Honoring history while providing a new and exciting place to experience culture and community. 1/25/2019 10:53 AM 591 The windows and the connection to the river 1/25/2019 10:43 AM 592 I think it’s important to keep the steam plant as a reminder of what has been at that location before. I think it is important to maximize the public engagement in this and interaction with a historic element. 1/25/2019 10:32 AM 593 The open space, and preserving those windows.1/25/2019 10:25 AM 594 I like the look of the outside.1/25/2019 10:22 AM 595 I love the plan to include a brewery overlooking the river—what a way to engage the community and celebrate the river while bribing people to enjoy he space! 1/25/2019 10:20 AM 596 Revitalizing and re-purposing the space!1/25/2019 10:12 AM 597 New accessibility to enjoy the river 1/25/2019 10:10 AM 598 Retention of the building, historic preservation, cultural theme and mixed use 1/25/2019 10:03 AM 599 Modernization and emphasizing the original building instead of just tearing it down 1/25/2019 10:01 AM 600 The multile uses and public access.1/25/2019 10:00 AM 601 I like how it utilizes and emphasizes the existing structure and design elements. The building is so interesting, it would be a shame to not maintain it as a key part of the design focus. 1/25/2019 9:41 AM 602 That it's happening!1/25/2019 9:28 AM 603 Modern 1/25/2019 9:25 AM 604 It’s aesthetically pleaseing. Warm and inviting. I like the idea of having places to sit and enjoy the environment both outside and inside while drinking a coffee, beer or food. Or strolling outside or inside with a coffee in hand & enjoying the steam plant. This reminds me a lot of the 5th street public market cafe area just more aesthetically pleaseing and rich of history. 1/25/2019 9:21 AM 605 The walkway out to the river. It's a great connecting piece.1/25/2019 9:18 AM 606 I've not seen enough to have an opinion, but I like the idea of a park space.

Build something new and quit wasting our city’s money on crap! 1/25/2019 7:52 AM 621 River views. It’s unique in Eugene. Considering the redevelopment that will be happening nearby, what will keep this project unique is the historic nature of the building. 1/25/2019 7:02 AM 622 The conceptual designs that destroy the historic integrity of original architecture and how the new architect’s vision is carried out to create a monument to his ego. 1/25/2019 6:34 AM 623 Other 1/25/2019 5:39 AM 624 Keeping some of the key features like the boiler and the large columns that used to hold up the machines 1/25/2019 4:05 AM 625 It was one of the first places I noticed that could use renovation after moving to Springfield.

It looks like it would be airy and comfortable. You’re taking a useless piece of real estate and putting it to good use. Go for it! Whatever you do will be great. 1/24/2019 8:58 PM 639 That it has offices. Everything else is cosmetic.1/24/2019 8:56 PM 640 Preserving the character of the building, river overlook and some kind of restaurant.

It is very important that it is a space where people can enjoy the river while eating or drinking. Offices and art should not have spaces where there is a view. The view should be for everyone. 1/24/2019 7:29 PM 650 The re-use/re-purposing of a piece of our history; most often these things get torn down in Eugene! 1/24/2019 7:15 PM 35 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 651 open, and views of river 1/24/2019 6:46 PM 652 Preserving a historic building while also bringing a beautiful space to the city that blends downtown and the river 1/24/2019 6:40 PM 653 Flexibility. And if it was me, I'd dedicate it to apprenticeships and co-ops incubator. But that's me ...1/24/2019 6:39 PM 654 It is making a place. Celebrates public land.1/24/2019 6:27 PM 655 Leaves some contour of the existing plant so the bulk does not take over.1/24/2019 6:21 PM 656 Reuse of existing infrastructure. Life along the south bank of the river.1/24/2019 6:09 PM 657 That the building is being used at all.1/24/2019 6:03 PM 658 That it preserves and makes use of a great building in an ideal location without the danger of it being dismantled or losing it's place in Eugene's history. 1/24/2019 5:58 PM 659 The potential to have live music there. Tall ceilings have *potential* for great sound, or it can be a loud reverbarebt disaster. Depends wether you have an acoustician on your team and weather they know what they are doing. 1/24/2019 5:57 PM 660 Currently an eye sore 1/24/2019 5:54 PM 661 Hard to say. Images don't really convey more than some office spaces and exhibit space, neither of which are hugely attractive. Better than an empty building though. 1/24/2019 5:52 PM 662 I like that the steam plant revitalization will recycle an existing, historic structure and will emphasize the river and natural spaces. 1/24/2019 5:48 PM 663 Open feel, cool industrial look, public space.1/24/2019 5:45 PM 664 The open, modern feel (with a nod to the past) and public deck out over the river.1/24/2019 5:40 PM 665 Views of the river.1/24/2019 5:39 PM 666 The river overlook. REally cool that the bike path is continuous under it but won't impact it. great idea 1/24/2019 5:37 PM 667 Adaptive reuse, old into new and hybrid program.1/24/2019 5:29 PM 668 exposing the turbine and other historic features 1/24/2019 5:23 PM 669 View of the river.1/24/2019 5:16 PM 670 Incorporating the old, historic parts of the building. Building up instead of out is also good. Heck, make it another 2 stories and add some apartments or condos to the top. 1/24/2019 5:06 PM 671 Revitalization of the building for public use. Connection between the built structure to the exterior spaces. 1/24/2019 5:02 PM 672 Connecting downtown to the river 1/24/2019 5:00 PM 673 That something is actually happening to prime river front property.1/24/2019 4:57 PM 674 Open concept 1/24/2019 4:49 PM 675 The opportunity for multiple options and bringing some "personality" to the river front development.1/24/2019 4:43 PM 676 It is a great mixture of Eugene's past, the importance of our waterways (rivers), and that it is a community space to be enjoyed by all. 1/24/2019 4:41 PM 677 The existing building and the connection to the river.1/24/2019 4:40 PM 678 Connecting Eugene history to the riverfront and social/active/art activities 1/24/2019 4:37 PM 679 Preserving existing interesting elements of building.1/24/2019 4:37 PM 680 High volumes; connection to historic use; the fact that it's more interesting than an old,unused steam plant. 1/24/2019 4:33 PM 681 I like the idea of preserving the history of the facility and bringing in other historical exhibits. We have some museums in this area, but I think it is important as Eugene grows to create more of these sorts of cultural spaces. Having events (performers, classes, etc) that people can attend, as well as exhibits that showcase Eugene will help with that need to create more cultural spaces. 1/24/2019 4:29 PM 682 Retention of the open interior and lots of windows to preserve connection to river 1/24/2019 4:22 PM 36 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 683 Preserving history while making something new out of a product (timber) that has such a rich history in this area. Activating the space with active uses of multiple types (business, artistic, educational, and recreational) will bring a variety of people to site and let Eugenians enjoy the waterfront in a new way. 1/24/2019 4:21 PM 684 It's an opportunity for sustainable growth in our community.1/24/2019 4:21 PM 685 The harmony of modern and historical as well as concrete, wood, metal. The open space is inspiring and promotes creativity. 1/24/2019 4:15 PM 686 keeping the history 1/24/2019 4:13 PM 687 That the footprint and external structure of the building are maintained, so we do not lose that historical perspective. 1/24/2019 4:11 PM 688 .1/24/2019 4:09 PM 689 The idea of keeping this wonderful historic building and the idea of having a pub or restaurant in that amazing space. 1/24/2019 4:09 PM 690 Public accessibility 1/24/2019 4:07 PM 691 The over look 1/24/2019 4:05 PM 692 I like that it's not only along the river but also that's it's adjacent to UO property. Maybe the design of the plant can include UO history? 1/24/2019 4:05 PM 693 As an archaeologist/historian it is important to me that we preserve our few remaining historic structures and honor them appropriately. 1/24/2019 3:59 PM 694 mix use space: restaurants, brewery, art spaces, access to river 1/24/2019 3:55 PM 695 Keeping the footprint and some original history/stuff.1/24/2019 3:49 PM 696 The dramatic lines and access to the river 1/24/2019 3:42 PM 697 The preservation of history and the tie to the river.1/24/2019 3:40 PM 698 That it is utilizing the views along the riverfront for public use.1/24/2019 3:27 PM 699 Roof top space/ space overlooking the river, MUST have some kind of space or use that make it relevant for the general public to visit. 1/24/2019 3:26 PM 700 Connection with the entire riverfront redevelopment 1/24/2019 3:16 PM 701 The idea of inclusion. Our country is divided but this gives Eugene an opportunity to bring our community together 1/24/2019 3:16 PM 702 I love that on that long walk there will be a revitalized space, better connecting the community to the waterfront and university district - plus it could be gorgeous 1/24/2019 3:15 PM 703 having a focal point that incorporates old & new - something shiny as compared to the dull downtown 1/24/2019 3:12 PM 704 the opportunity for more art dedicated space 1/24/2019 3:08 PM 705 Seems unique; hard to analyze with only three photo renderings.1/24/2019 3:06 PM 706 Ability to connect to the Ruth Bascom River Path, the Willamette River, and have a beer with a view. 1/24/2019 3:01 PM 707 Revitalizing a historic building for future generations.1/24/2019 2:56 PM 708 The renderings for the cultural space and the use of cross laminated timber.1/24/2019 2:52 PM 709 big windows & views of the river 1/24/2019 2:47 PM 710 Mix of historic and contemporary elements 1/24/2019 2:45 PM 711 Using the draw of the river as a attraction to bring / keep people in that area of Eugene 1/24/2019 2:43 PM 712 Showing community history 1/24/2019 2:41 PM 713 Keeping the windows!1/24/2019 2:41 PM 714 Historic integrity of the building.1/24/2019 2:35 PM 37 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 715 I am so excited about the idea of having a restaurant/brew pub on the river. Eugene needs this! It would be so nice to take advantage of our beautiful river front areas to have a nice place to gather with friends. I'm honestly very disappointed lately when I try to enjoy the river path for running,walking or bike riding. I don't feel safe and it's so frustrating that people are allowed to camp and leave their garbage laying around the river. I hope Eugene continues to add more nice places to gather with friends in the beautiful scenery we are so blessed with. 1/24/2019 2:33 PM 716 Definitely the overlook of the river. Incorporating the river into design is essential.1/24/2019 2:30 PM 717 The incorporation of historical elements and the use of CLT.1/24/2019 2:29 PM 718 view of the river 1/24/2019 2:20 PM 719 Renderings are great - the space itself seems underutilized and vacant of personality and history. Reminiscent of The Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia. If going the arts route perhaps include studio space, equipment, etc. Minneapolis/St. Paul has a number of renovated, subsidized spaces (redeveloped industrial complexes) that cater to affordable living and work spaces for artists. 1/24/2019 2:20 PM 720 The existing outer structure.1/24/2019 2:18 PM 721 Preservation of historical site. Mixed-use so commercial and retail space. Attractive to tourists.1/24/2019 2:16 PM 722 Eugene has so few restaurants/cafes/pubs with river views - this is a big opportunity for the Steam Plant. 1/24/2019 2:16 PM 723 River overlook 1/24/2019 2:14 PM 724 The river view 1/24/2019 2:08 PM 725 The preservation aspects and the proposed river lookout 1/24/2019 2:06 PM 726 Is that the plant is being utilized 1/24/2019 2:05 PM 727 Connection to o the river 1/24/2019 2:04 PM 728 Preserving the historic building while combining it with contemporary design.

I'm so excited to co- work there and feel the renaissance vibe of the cultural sharing center. Id love to have events there too! 1/24/2019 12:24 PM 734 River overlook 1/24/2019 11:12 AM 735 Location 1/24/2019 10:15 AM 736 Just making it look nicer, the area and building are a big eyesore at the moment 1/24/2019 9:53 AM 737 Adaptive reuse of an existing building minimizes new resource use and energy. It also minimizes the production of more greenhouse gasses by maintaining the already embedded carbon content of the existing concrete, etc. 1/24/2019 9:43 AM 738 Integration of the river (views, access, etc.)1/24/2019 9:36 AM 739 the fact that it will remain in tact and be accessible by everyone. It is of historical importance as to many buildings like this are lost 1/24/2019 8:54 AM 740 Having a beautiful river running through our city should be a main attraction. Instead it’s a questionably safe area where people engage in illegal activities and often prey upon joggers and bikers on the path. Our city should clean up the river front area for environmental reasons, and to create a safe and cool place where families and students can go hang out and enjoy the physical beauty of our natural surroundings. While maybe drinking a cup of coffee, look at art, or have a sandwich and a beer. 1/24/2019 8:05 AM 741 Keeping the historical aspects and not negetively impacting the bike trail.1/24/2019 7:28 AM 38 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 742 Cultural heritage.

Love the overlook.1/23/2019 10:26 PM 752 It opens the waterfront adding to our city. Great overall design!1/23/2019 9:26 PM 753 Just the idea that we’re going to make the steam plant an important part rather than level everything...so much history there. 1/23/2019 9:16 PM 754 Maintaining the existing exterior design elements, the columns of windows and pilasters framing them, is key for me, seeing it continue in new purpose with respect for its industrial past. I’d like to see everything updated, new and ready for another generation of new use. 1/23/2019 9:15 PM 755 Keeping some of the historical components. I used to work there and it was such an amazing space even as a steam plant. 1/23/2019 8:40 PM 756 Preserves Eugene’s history in positive visual form.1/23/2019 8:15 PM 757 Combination of saving/displaying historic features with attractive architectural features to make it feel welcoming and open 1/23/2019 7:57 PM 758 That it is revitalization. That it is a building that we can insist serves a public service as well as a commercial service. 1/23/2019 7:08 PM 759 The idea that we can link Eugene together in a new and creative space which serves the community 1/23/2019 6:57 PM 760 I like the clear contrast between old and new (old=public, new=private), and that it connects to the public realm on both the river and downtown sides. 1/23/2019 6:39 PM 761 Seeing the existing systems on display in the rendering. Would be cool to see those things up close. 1/23/2019 6:23 PM 762 not enough info to comment yet 1/23/2019 6:12 PM 763 Mix of new with old 1/23/2019 6:03 PM 764 Putting restaurant(s) on the river in a historic building.1/23/2019 5:49 PM 765 Adding offices to the mix keeps the space active and financially sustainable. And keeping some elements of the building original gives it a great vibe (I have been to the space as it is today) 1/23/2019 5:39 PM 766 Building should be razed 1/23/2019 5:15 PM 767 Rooftop deck 1/23/2019 9:35 AM 768 That is one sweet project.

I would come to this new building if it was made available as a place to do professional creative work. I would also come to the Steam Plant if there were rotating art installations.

Let's optimize this location. 2/17/2019 10:17 AM 99 The cross laminated timber floor and vintage equipment 2/17/2019 9:40 AM 42 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 100 Food. There's enough room for a couple different restaurants, with views of the river. Coupled with rotating art galleries, or a live theatre. 2/17/2019 9:12 AM 101 Mainly restaurants. I think an idea similar to what they’ve done at Sprout in Springfield would be ideal or Pine Street Market in Portland. 2/17/2019 8:55 AM 102 Art and cultural spaces. It seems like the ideal place to finally have a proper children’s museum in Eugene too 2/17/2019 8:52 AM 103 Views of the river and connection to the river walk design.

Maybe a table at a cafe that is near the river.2/17/2019 6:42 AM 108 A vibrant restaurant, brewery, and/or food truck scene at the Steam Plant. The Steam Plant needs to appear welcoming to the community. Currently, the Steam Plant design looks like an office building that is not very open to the public. The current design also creates the sense that half the building is meant for standing around and looking at old machinery (not exciting). I would love to see the back side of the steam plant completely open up to the river view (maybe via retractable doors?). I can't see where in your current design that the food and drinks will be located? Are they downstairs? If so, that isn't very welcoming for the community. I would love to see some food and drinks on the main level. 2/16/2019 4:22 PM 109 As stated above make it vibrant and fun. A destination to enjoy the beautiful weather and our fabulous river. Do not make it a museum. The museum and art form is in the steam plant equipment. 2/16/2019 3:53 PM 110 Outdoor area to be near river, restaurant/food, music 2/16/2019 12:57 PM 111 Historic preservation elements.2/16/2019 11:46 AM 112 Rooftop access to the river viewpoint, retail commerce, restaurants and cafes.2/16/2019 11:05 AM 113 coffee, animals, river views, art 2/15/2019 2:51 PM 114 A focus on the evolution of energy technology and path toward sustainable energy.

The latter will be a draw if done well and tells a compelling, accurate story of Eugene's history along the river, everything from industry and river floods to the things viewed from the building, like Pre's Trail or Cascade forests. That historic landscape is the context within which Eugene developed and matured. 2/13/2019 10:33 AM 186 art installations, cafe with multiple choices of food allergy friendly foods (whole foods such as salad bar, fruit bowls, etc.). evening social hours/trivia night/community informational gatherings (such as the earthquake readiness seminars). 2/12/2019 11:40 PM 187 A pub on the overlook, events in the space- book reading, harp mini- concert, etc.2/12/2019 11:02 PM 188 A restaurant or brewery 2/12/2019 9:11 PM 189 Integration of indoor/outdoor space and letting some of the decay and weathering show. Like Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord in Germany or Gasworks park in Seattle. A good restaurant or cafe would be great. The views of the river will be very important. Adding a prominent water feature as a focal point could help make this a place that embodies the connection of people and their source of water. 2/12/2019 6:58 PM 190 live music, beer, riverviews 2/12/2019 4:53 PM 191 Art, performance art, music, food.2/12/2019 4:48 PM 192 Restaurants, cultural events such as art, performances, and cafes 2/12/2019 3:46 PM 193 Arts and Culture.

I’d love to meet a friend by the river and visit at something like this. Nighttime would be magical there! 2/12/2019 9:25 AM 205 Creative design and food.2/12/2019 8:49 AM 206 River views, restaurant/brewery/cafe 2/12/2019 1:09 AM 207 Welcoming free public space, like the library atrium. Also a *quiet* coffeehouse to chat with friends, read, or work, open late. (For example, i never go to Barn Light, because it is WAY too loud, but i often spend money at Townshend's Tea.) 2/12/2019 12:32 AM 208 Restaurants/brewery.2/11/2019 10:11 PM 209 Permanent feature showcasing area tribal history 2/11/2019 8:47 PM 210 Food, Rotating Art installations, and the view.2/11/2019 4:47 PM 211 Ideas for public/private partnership 2/11/2019 4:24 PM 212 This space could be a creative, entrepreneurial place to launch solutions to our climate challenged future. Companies working on plastic solutions, energy solutions, food solutions, transportation solutions should get the premier office space in such a lovely and high visibility building. 2/11/2019 3:28 PM 213 Food and art/events. I would also visit if I was working with a business located in the building.2/11/2019 3:00 PM 214 Food and beverage + history 2/11/2019 2:53 PM 215 A rooftop viewing deck open to the public would be amazing. As would a rooftop bar.2/11/2019 2:33 PM 216 A combination of the Riverfront view and the social/retail aspect such as a cafe. It's a great way to spend weekends or evenings in Eugene and support the community. 2/11/2019 1:32 PM 217 food/bev/cafe, community space for events/meetings/professional development, "rec" space for kids - an indoor play space for kids on evenings/weekends, this always brings families 2/11/2019 1:12 PM 218 Use of local design and construction teams 2/11/2019 1:06 PM 219 There needs to be some type of cafe/brewery/eatery. Most people won't get to work in one of the offices, so absent good public space nobody will go. The public space can't be limited to an outdoor eating space because that's not actually a public space. I want a place where I can go without buying things or feeling pressure to leave. 2/11/2019 1:02 PM 220 This should be obvious: publicly available spaces such as retail, restaurants, and park space.2/11/2019 12:49 PM 221 Restaurants and views, outdoor seating and indoor views.

WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER BREWERY. We need some kind of different social space that does not focus getting drunk in a noisy atmosphere. Some kind of physical activity would be really cool, example: 5 pin bowling alley or a ping pong salon. 2/9/2019 2:21 PM 240 The restaurant 2/9/2019 1:09 PM 241 A restaurant or place to get a beer while enjoying the cultural events.2/9/2019 1:05 PM 242 These are all bad ideas,2/9/2019 10:55 AM 243 Food, beverages, areas to lounge outside all while being with community 2/9/2019 9:06 AM 244 places to eat 2/8/2019 11:41 PM 245 Brewery and food with performance area 2/8/2019 7:14 PM 246 Coffee shop/restaurant and space to view the river.

However, the programming of those spaces would need to be rich and offer experiential depth. 2/8/2019 1:03 PM 251 None of what is listed/shown would bring me there.2/8/2019 11:17 AM 252 Restaurant , overlook.2/8/2019 9:53 AM 253 the potential art exhibit/installations that would be within the building 2/8/2019 9:50 AM 254 Restaurant and the overlook, though if there's co-working space I'd definitely try to make use of that sometimes. Would be really great if there was a meeting room that could be reserved that accommodated up to 10 people (realize this isn't terribly likely). 2/8/2019 9:31 AM 255 art; a place where I can come for a cup or coffee or lunch to enjoy being in this beautiful building and location 2/8/2019 9:14 AM 256 Food and drink.2/8/2019 9:12 AM 257 Love old buildings and architecture and good restaurants.2/8/2019 9:02 AM 258 Indoor/outdoor arts/cafe space (A more fantastic version of Roaring Rapids pizza location, which has standing gigs for jazz musicians) 2/8/2019 9:00 AM 259 Restaurants and pubs with river views and outdoor seating. That's it!2/8/2019 8:30 AM 260 Views, coffee shop 2/8/2019 8:24 AM 261 A café and brewery, especially if they are locally and ethically sourced with high quality ingredients and a cool chef.

Commercial real estate obviously fuels much of the financial feasibility of the project, but having dining options (plural) helps make this a family destination, moreso than just an art gallery or performing space that typically caters to more limited demographic. We all have to eat. 2/5/2019 5:33 PM 285 cafe, coffee shop, stores, a place to study or read by the river 2/5/2019 4:32 PM 286 Beautiful river views, good food/coffee/beer at reasonable prices, and accessibility by bikes and dogs. 2/5/2019 4:21 PM 287 restaurant 2/5/2019 3:26 PM 288 Connection to the river path 2/5/2019 1:58 PM 289 Social spots & non-boutique ( & not expensive specialty shops) eclectic stores. make it feel like a fun downtown to visit.

I'd bike here in the summer as a nice place to stop for a snack or icecream cone. I've always wanted a great rooftop space in Eugene and I think we could really take in the view with this location - please make this a bar or somewhere we can stay and linger. 2/4/2019 4:17 PM 303 Food and art installations 2/4/2019 4:14 PM 304 First time: to see the remodel. Second time, to visit the upper level restaurant(s). After that, it depends on the event.... 2/4/2019 3:20 PM 305 Food and Drink in a unique riverfront location.

Open spaces to gather, talk, generate ideas in a creative, beautiful, historical space is ideal. And more development along the river would just be a boon for Eugene as it is currently very difficult to navigate (restaurants/shops/culture is very spread out). 2/4/2019 2:08 PM 312 river view, commercial, public space 2/4/2019 2:06 PM 313 a place to eat, drink, do business 2/4/2019 2:03 PM 314 Art & dining 2/4/2019 2:02 PM 315 Art shows/installations 2/4/2019 1:55 PM 316 Food and drinks nearby.

Interactive displays about the equipment and history of the area. A brewery would be a potential use that would attract me also. 2/2/2019 9:58 PM 331 The opportunity to get good perspective about the changes that occurred in the mill district clustered around the mill pond just east of 5th and High St., where there existed a flour mill, a saw mill, a grist mill, a planning mill, a woolen mill, an excelsior plant, and a furniture factory. 8th Ave. supported a brewery, a cannery,a cider/vinegar mill and two tanneries. 2/2/2019 4:45 PM 49 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 332 art, brewery- social space, performance, history and being on THE RIVER 2/2/2019 12:53 PM 333 Art and performance events and food.2/2/2019 10:58 AM 334 multiple uses 2/2/2019 9:00 AM 335 Food, drink and performance.2/1/2019 11:19 PM 336 NOT A MUSEUM.

When I have out of town guests I like to show them around all of the best sites, but we are likely to skip a historic site if it does not include one or both of these options. Office space may bring me there every day. 1/30/2019 5:49 PM 382 Cultural/art displays, food venue with river views 1/30/2019 5:35 PM 383 river view 1/30/2019 5:30 PM 384 River front fine dining and classy live music - the type of food, beverage, and music that enhances the riverfront experience without taking away from it.

We have enough art, static or otherwise, in our community now. We have enough pubs and restaurants trying to survive. Only an awesome fully focused steam culture attraction would bring me to visit. 1/30/2019 12:21 PM 413 River views.1/30/2019 12:20 PM 414 Aim for a less "industrial" feel to the space.

Take a look at the city of Hillsboro's "Outdoors In" model. An indoor playground could be really successful in Eugene, and a good revenue generator. It would also help keep the space in use during the middle of the day when things tend to be slower for most businesses, rather than having the building primarily just used on evenings and weekends. 1/28/2019 10:13 AM 499 Café or restaurant and art 1/28/2019 10:02 AM 54 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 500 Restaurant 1/28/2019 9:54 AM 501 beer, food 1/28/2019 9:41 AM 502 Performing arts and a brewery or restaurant 1/28/2019 9:37 AM 503 A cafe or restaurant.1/28/2019 9:34 AM 504 If it was offices the only reason I would go would be for business with people.

Please not another microbrewery with lousy bar food. That idea has been overkilled in Eugene. I would also come for nice art and historical based displays, lecture series, music. 1/26/2019 1:42 AM 548 Cultural and historic aspects plus retail/commercial for the general public. Local roaster coffee shop. Local ice cream that is not super expensive and "designer"--someplace families would go, like Prince Puckler would be great. Same for some of the eateries--local and not all high end, e.g. Tacovore, Mezza Luna, La Perla, Sabai. 1/26/2019 1:01 AM 549 Restaurant or brewery. Something along the bike path that my family and I can ride up to on a summer day. This is really something we need in this town.

I come to the river to see trees and water. Big square cement buildings are the opposite of what I'd like interact with. Please keep this in mind. I also greatly value, and think our community has a lack of community hubs, where people can safely gather, or hang out, without having to pay money.

The pub.1/23/2019 7:08 PM 803 Community Gatherings. Meeting for coffee for new business meets. Id like to see public wifi, a cafe, a hang out space, a community gathering space, space for kids to hang out and interact with stuff *like some sort of interactive art displays for kids* or a play space, so you can attract young families and business people. The cafe and businesses inside, and some outdoor theatre type area, a river viewing platform which connects to the bike path and E-web fountain area. Lots of natural elements rather than urban design, place for native trees and shrubs to grow alongside the river. 1/23/2019 6:57 PM 804 art and food/beverage 1/23/2019 6:39 PM 805 Live performance of some sort...along with a wine bar or a beer.1/23/2019 6:23 PM 806 some sort of live show like a dance troupe, concert, etc 1/23/2019 6:12 PM 807 Active space for eating 1/23/2019 6:03 PM 808 Brewery, restaurant(s), coffee, historical info 1/23/2019 5:49 PM 809 History and art, a place to bring my family and guests who visit.1/23/2019 5:39 PM 810 None 1/23/2019 5:15 PM 64 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 Q8 What else would you like the project team and/or Eugene City Council to know or consider regarding the proposal? Answered: 684 Skipped: 235 #RESPONSES DATE 1 Art studios! Please consider this some how, some way.2/21/2019 9:43 AM 2 The city needs a whitewater kayak park. This would be a cool place to create one.2/21/2019 9:37 AM 3 Please think outside the box. This is an opportunity to build a cutting edge community space that would draw people, especially young scientists/artists/programmers/innovators to our city. This proposal misses the mark by not taking advantage of this opportunity. 2/20/2019 10:32 PM 4 The City of the Arts and Outdoors would be remiss in thinking that its identity-equity would be better spent striving to be the city of breweries and office parks, which is already being done elsewhere, than in confirming its dedication to the arts and the outdoors. 2/20/2019 7:17 PM 5 Make it a space for all especially for the arts community in Eugene.2/20/2019 6:06 PM 6 I find this project exciting and a wonderful investment in our community. I'm very happy to hear about plans to incorporate creative and cultural components to the project. I feel that providing opportunities for the public to creatively engage builds connection among our community. Thank you for taking this into consideration. 2/20/2019 3:34 PM 7 Keep it public, affordable, beautiful. Maintain the integrity of the architecture and era, use that as the theme. 2/20/2019 1:54 PM 8 Eugene has a great town "center" right now and it would be great if the project enhanced Eugene's appeal while at the same time not compete with down town... 2/20/2019 1:26 PM 9 Please make it for everyone - inclusive, interactive!2/20/2019 11:57 AM 10 Performing arts space for communal use 2/20/2019 11:07 AM 11 You guys should probably focus on housing the homeless.2/20/2019 10:53 AM 12 Thank you!2/20/2019 10:52 AM 13 Make it environmentally-focused and celebrating/working in harmony with the natural beauty that is the river. 2/20/2019 10:52 AM 14 Consider an interactive art or children's (and adults) museum component - similar to the City Museum in St. Louis, MO. 2/20/2019 10:11 AM 15 It is imperative that the space is designed as a public space and incorporates, at a foundational level, access to arts & culture. If the Steam Plant is seeking massive public subsidy, it cannot be another micobrewery with a view, nor a scenic office building with a "community room." This needs to be a space which is inviting to anyone in the area, not only those with $7 to spend on a pint of beer or a few thousand to spend on renting an impressive office on the river. 2/20/2019 10:01 AM 16 I strongly urge the team to consider the importance of the arts in a cultural building such as this, not in the nature of a few static displays but as an opportunity to engage the community and bring them to the space through changing exhibitions, installations and performances. 2/20/2019 9:03 AM 17 Demolish the 20th-Century Industrial/Extractive/Pollution Steamplant image of Eugene. Start Over. Don't waste $25 Million on faux-Industrial Cleanup. Restore and enhance the Riverfront to welcome people using all forms of healthy and non-motorized transport. Build Up for Public Viewing Attraction. FOCUS DESIGN UTILITY ON BEING A CENTER OF SOMETHING!!! Be straight with citizens; promote construction bonds as if a new Sports (2021) Stadium; put this public project to a vote before any construction! 2/20/2019 7:45 AM 18 Please be sensitive to ecological integrity of sensitive riparian areas. The relatively undeveloped riverfront of the Willamette River is a unique asset for the city and I hope that development balances cultural and social space with this ecological value. 2/20/2019 1:02 AM 65 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 19 Make the co-working facilities equipped for and affordable to a range of creators—creative professionals as well as tech types. This will create better cross-pollination of ideas and make it feel less frat-like. 2/20/2019 12:50 AM 20 Look for companies that can have an information room for the public to view, and perhaps company people interacting with the public and visitors from other companies. Another idea: A climate change update room: show how people/countries are impacting climate change or experiencing climate change. Show the latest simulations of climate impact, video clips taken of arctic ice melt, islands threatened by sea water rise. From the power plant of the past to the power plan of the future. 2/20/2019 12:16 AM 21 I would rather it be more community meetings oriented and leadership mentoring oriented than business offices. 2/20/2019 12:14 AM 22 Importance of preserving architectural integrity of the Steam Plant while giving Eugene a public place to simultaneously enjoy the beauty of our river, contemporary art, and delicious food. 2/19/2019 11:17 PM 23 How is this development going to address equity and inclusion?2/19/2019 10:41 PM 24 Please preserve the history. Love that plant.2/19/2019 10:21 PM 25 The more community based and less business based the better 2/19/2019 8:02 PM 26 I would love to see art installations (such as murals and sculpture ) incorporated into the interior and exterior decor, conpleted by local Eugene artists 2/19/2019 7:16 PM 27 It should integrate with the south side bike path without interfering with traffic, possibly with a curb for most of the frontage, with generous opening at each end. 2/19/2019 6:03 PM 28 Please hire local architectural and landscape design firms. Tap into resources within our community and perhaps take proposals from University of Oregon students and faculty in relevant fields of study. 2/19/2019 5:36 PM 29 Make sure you don’t bougie it up too much so that it is accessible for everyone/everyone can feel comfortable there 2/19/2019 5:34 PM 30 Eugene really needs affordable spaces to create art in as well as places to be 24/7.2/19/2019 5:32 PM 31 This could be an amazing space to have artist in residency spaces and/or space for low-cost temporary lodging for visiting artists and others (for example, musicians performing in the area or visiting lecturers could stay at a subsidized rate, making their visit more feasible). 2/19/2019 5:00 PM 32 It would be great to make the co-working space/art available to low income/new businesses at a sliding scale or Grant processes 2/19/2019 4:18 PM 33 Again, Eugene is lacking in the important workspaces needed for artists and creatives. This building has great potential for solidly funded businesses/offices/restaurants, while cultural spaces can also garner income. Shared rented studio spaces are a possibility as well as a space for an artist in residence program that rotates every 2-3 months. Similar to the recent JoJo Abot residence at the Hult Center, having artists in these spaces can lead to ticketed performances and gallery sales. 2/19/2019 3:45 PM 34 consider making space for farmer's market 2/19/2019 3:42 PM 35 Keep as much of the original building design as possible. Please don't just gut it and leave a few original pillars. 2/19/2019 3:37 PM 36 The EWEB building would be a great place for City Hall 2/19/2019 3:24 PM 37 Thanks for your work with this!2/19/2019 3:16 PM 38 do a survey of what open spaces are available in Eugene.

Energy-efficiency. On-site power-generation that is visible and educational as well as functional. Stormwater collection and re-used for irrigation and toilet flushing; and rainwater garden, a childrens' playground with natural environments (not steel and plastic equipment, but natural rocks and ropes, and exploratory environments, and water features) with great seating for the parents, etc. 2/18/2019 7:16 PM 67 N/A 2/18/2019 1:48 PM 68 Each city council member should ask a city member under 35 years of age for serious input. Listen to YPs input. This steam plant will either be utilized a ton, or ignored by the younger gen. 2/18/2019 1:09 PM 69 I want the group of white males pictured at the end of the video to recognize that they need to make this space accessible to EVERYONE - not just hipsters. My fear is that it will be just another building with a hipster vibe that excludes the normal, everyday people of the Eugene/Springfield area. Please do not add elements that are "cool" or "on trend" right now. Think about comfort, accessibility for all people of all abilities, and making it welcoming. 2/18/2019 11:47 AM 70 Super excited about the potential of the south bank area of the Willamette River. Huge concern is the homeless population currently being aloud to harass cyclists/walkers/joggers, especially women. The garbage that builds up is hazardous, dangerous, and illegal. It's an embarrassment to our city. 2/18/2019 10:59 AM 71 Please involve and make space for people of color and indigenous peoples as well as LGBTQ people. Make sure it has elements like a library that make it a community space rather then private space that only people woth money would go to. 2/18/2019 9:49 AM 72 It would be really cool if you could keep some of the equipment and make it accessible for kids to play on/with. Gears and levers they can manipulate, etc. 2/18/2019 1:37 AM 73 Connect it to the riverwalk.

I lived in 2 buildings that were heated with this system. 2/17/2019 10:22 AM 85 What if leasing retail space generated income vs office space? Office space is just such a wet blanket to the idea of this project. Eugene needs more upscale shopping so we don't have to drive to Portland to shop. 2/17/2019 10:17 AM 86 Good job 2/17/2019 9:40 AM 87 We have plenty of park space near the river already. We desperately need commercial/restaurant space in multiple places in the eweb project. 2/17/2019 9:12 AM 88 It’s important to USE the space in a sustainable way.2/17/2019 8:55 AM 89 There are no decent children’s museums in Eugene. We have a falling apart “science factory” and a trying very hard in the mall children’s “museum”... It would be great to have something that’s really nice and has an all ages/adult side too that embraces art like the Saint Louis City Museum 2/17/2019 8:52 AM 90 River safety- if we are going to capitalize on the amazing natural resource we need to educate about respecting the river too. Too many accidents and deaths every summer and having a riverfront park could lead to more. 2/17/2019 8:44 AM 91 Is there a way to keep it from becoming like downtown overrun with homeless 2/17/2019 8:36 AM 92 Nothing 2/17/2019 8:32 AM 93 This is a project that can get the community excited.2/17/2019 6:42 AM 94 Please do not under-utilize half this beautiful building by creating a boring environment where people just stand around. The current full building design looks like a cool place to work, but I don't see how the design will attract the young people in Eugene who don't work at the building. The young people in Eugene want a fun, inviting place to go spend their money - this design does not look like that. This is an amazing opportunity to create a building that will help to attract young people to Eugene. We need more young people in Eugene. Please build something for the future of Eugene, not the past. 2/16/2019 4:22 PM 95 remember that we are wanting to revitalize this area. The steam plant will be within walking distance for 20,000 young people with disposable income not to mention the rest of our wonderful community. A place to walk to after a football game, basketball game, track event. A destination that utilizes the outdoors and incorporates it into the inside. Keep it vibrant and fun not sleepy and museumesque. 2/16/2019 3:53 PM 96 Parking 2/16/2019 12:57 PM 97 Address the contextual history of the immediate area including power production, water treatment, manufactured gas and the millrace. 2/16/2019 11:46 AM 98 Please consider the transition of the “old” 5th Street Market as a beloved destination for meeting, eating and shopping for the local community to the present day version, morphed into upscale businesses that attract less residents, less frequently, and instead is more a marketed destination for out of town guests. Remember to focus on “Unique Eugene” to create a space you cannot find anywhere else in the country, but that draws routinely our community residents. 2/16/2019 11:05 AM 99 let's have a kid and family friendly stuff, like climbing play land stuff.2/15/2019 2:51 PM 68 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 100 Criteria for selection of proposals include benefit to the broader community and accommodation for parking and transportation needs. Tying that to my sustainability mantra above, I would love to see access to public transportation, electric vehicle charges in the parking area and lots of nice pedestrian paths 2/15/2019 2:45 PM 101 parking and public transit suspending art from the ceiling 2/15/2019 2:39 PM 102 Let's do this! Projects like this transform a city- not just physically but in spirit. This is so wonderful for your community. Thank you 2/15/2019 2:26 PM 103 The steam plant is very near the location of Eugene's original black neighborhood, which was displaced during construction of the Ferry Street bridge. A cultural/historic lesson? 2/15/2019 2:21 PM 104 The roof top space should be accessible to public as a brew pub or modestly priced restaurant. As much as possible, the space should be inclusive of a broad range of income levels 2/15/2019 2:13 PM 105 Showcase what makes Eugene Innovative and Modern and Unique Consider hosting a modern makers fair or local innovation/tech fair Artist need a home/place to show & sell so creating a friendly space for that kind of installation 2/15/2019 11:39 AM 106 the interior colors & design already look a bit dated. keep it timeless, but contemporary 2/15/2019 11:25 AM 107 Please don't let panhandlers and skateboarders ruin it 2/15/2019 11:02 AM 108 providing art within all designs include multi cultural displays 2/15/2019 10:59 AM 109 The proposal nods at historical preservation, but fails to preserve even the general appearance of the exterior. It would be great if the architects took a more humble approach and resist the urge to put so much of their stamp on it. 2/15/2019 10:56 AM 110 a interactive SAFE place for residents and guests alike. Please consider what has been happening to our downtown. lets learn from that experience. 2/15/2019 10:53 AM 111 parking is important! walking or biking to the site will be fine in the summer, but you need dedicated parking the rest of the year. 2/15/2019 10:51 AM 112 we need a place for people to gather and work on the river in town 2/15/2019 9:29 AM 113 The building is probably haunted from eweb torturing me and other children in there in the early mid nineties! I'm serious but it's probably not your fault lol 2/15/2019 6:11 AM 114 Embrace big picture thinking about how this spot will be viewed 20 years out. Don't cave to crass and cheap designs that seem to be inundating the city's new apartment box building. This should be a statement about what is BEST about Eugene - its water, its people and its good taste. 2/14/2019 10:35 PM 115 It has to be financially feasible in the long term.2/14/2019 7:34 PM 116 Means of getting down to the water; literally reconnecting to the river.2/14/2019 7:32 PM 117 Nothing 2/14/2019 7:23 PM 118 I have a hard time seeing this be financially successful with out recurring public $$2/14/2019 6:36 PM 119 I think it makes sense to allow businesses in, but I think the requirements should be stringent and focus on community first. 2/14/2019 6:00 PM 120 The ramp to the "outlook" should consider an at grade solution for better accessibility with less structure. Better permeability of the building at grade on the river side and/or outdoor dining next to building. 2/14/2019 4:18 PM 121 I don't like the elevated overlook in the park. the bridge is too low to be practical and overshadows the multi-use path. the overlook should be at grade. I don't like the dark color of the exterior of the new construction. It could be more interesting design. 2/14/2019 3:37 PM 122 Free WI-FI 2/14/2019 3:31 PM 123 more outdoor spaces!2/14/2019 2:22 PM 124 retail food market, parking transportation 2/14/2019 2:02 PM 125 Relocate Farmers and Saturday Market to the EWEB property. Design a year round marketplace. See Olympia, WA and Santa Fe, NM for examples 2/14/2019 2:00 PM 126 cat petting room 2/14/2019 1:56 PM 69 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 127 I'm excited for the investment into the community. Consider looking at Hotel Emma in San Antonio, it's a similar structure that is now a brewery, fancy library, and beautiful hotel. 2/14/2019 1:54 PM 128 It should incorporate design elements that speak to the spirit of the town; inspirations from outdoor life and fishing, Grateful Dead/Prankster culture, and Oregon Ducks sports to name a few 2/14/2019 1:51 PM 129 Eugene has used very little of the McKenzie river and it's a shame! to have a vibrant area with housing, restaurants and a park would be stellar! 2/14/2019 1:46 PM 130 Let's avoid any big chain restaurants or out of state money please! Let's keep this place local as much as possible. 2/14/2019 12:30 PM 131 you're doing a great job. Well done so far!2/14/2019 11:46 AM 132 This project is a fabulous idea, please move forward in collaborating to ensure it’s success!2/14/2019 11:06 AM 133 Let’s roll!2/14/2019 10:56 AM 134 It seems like a solution in search of a problem. The video has lots of hand-waving about who will actually use it. Build it and they will come - seems like a dubious strategy. I think the project needs a more focused vision; a problem that needs solving, a job that Eugene needs doing which can be undertaken by this building. 2/14/2019 10:52 AM 135 Hospitality is good for both local & tourist.2/14/2019 10:22 AM 136 There is a danger of making it too precious and by that move to limit its cultural connectivity.2/14/2019 10:14 AM 137 incorporate botanicals--trees/plants indoors, garden space outdoors 2/13/2019 10:08 PM 138 Eugene needs a multidisciplinary arts building to enable for permanent designated space that will accommodate nonprofit arts, music and dance programs. I think this is a great opportunity to consider this building for that purpose 2/13/2019 6:45 PM 139 This is an ambitious project and I would hate to see it work well at first and slowly degrade into a space like Kesey Square or the Park Blocks, which I seldom want to visit. A plan for maintenance and continued improvements would need to be in place, not just a grand plan to build then open the space. I would like to hear what those plans are and how the city will combat issues that often occur in public spaces while still being open to everyone. What are the goals after opening? We see timelines for development that just end with a star in the opening year, but what comes after that? Budget should be saved to help remedy unforeseeable obstacles. 2/13/2019 3:34 PM 140 space for public & lectures on environment and on local community 2/13/2019 3:17 PM 141 look at Oslo's cluster of museums, Norwegian Maritime, Fram & Kin Tiki. great examples!2/13/2019 3:09 PM 142 larger mix of uses 2/13/2019 3:01 PM 143 big deal worth saving 2/13/2019 2:58 PM 144 upper level lofts to purchase 2/13/2019 2:55 PM 145 native plantings 2/13/2019 2:53 PM 146 I am in 100% support of affordable housing but I don't think this is the correct site for it. this is a beautiful piece of riverfront property, keep it nice and historic 2/13/2019 2:50 PM 147 Noise abatement! create an atmosphere that is appealing to all ages 2/13/2019 2:32 PM 148 encourage visitors to have respect & reverence for the riverfront area, ie. enforcement of clean space, no leaving personal trash, belongings, tagging & defacing of property - no human waste, drug paraphernalia etc that marred the rest of Eugene. 2/13/2019 2:28 PM 149 look up web page kew bridge steam museum in London.2/13/2019 2:20 PM 150 buy EWEB and put city hall there 2/13/2019 2:14 PM 151 put city hall there 2/13/2019 2:07 PM 152 where will I park when I visit?2/13/2019 2:04 PM 153 Eugene is horrid at preserving historical buildings. lets change that!2/13/2019 1:46 PM 154 The river starts to really stink right around the steam plant, especially when tubing. What causes the foul smell? Is there a storm drain exit there? 2/13/2019 1:34 PM 70 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 155 1. This is an important visible project for years to come in Eugene. Doing it right is critical. 2. It's not realistic to expect the renovation and operational costs to cover expenses given the many public aspects of this work. Ideally EWEB can contribute toward preserving its history, and perhaps can maintain a customer service desk or kiosk to serve downtown clients. Then the city should step up with funding in the general fund, and perhaps using urban renewal funds as well. 2/13/2019 12:01 PM 156 In the rendering, it looks like green lawn on the riverbank. I think it's important to maintain a healthy riparian zone that has grasses, shrubs, trees. Any river bank area should be more about the health of the river, wildlife, etc. than the views from the steam plant. 2/13/2019 10:59 AM 157 Ensure the lookout perched atop the old water intake structure is publicly accessible. This project should be viewed as a community asset, and therefore, accessible to everyone. 2/13/2019 10:33 AM 158 No reason not to house a climbing wall business as well...that's a lot of height to waste if you don't!2/12/2019 11:40 PM 159 Make the parking lot free 2/12/2019 11:02 PM 160 Keep the history, and allow enough commercial use to be able to sustain it with income so it doesn't end up just sitting there empty. 2/12/2019 9:11 PM 161 Give the project some PNW regionalist design treatments; celebrate the plants, materials, and symbols of Eugene, the river and the PNW in general. 2/12/2019 6:58 PM 162 Don't fuck this up... Remember Capstone? City Hall? Eweb building.... please act like a real city for once and get your shit together and do the project right. It's gonna be a 50-70 million dollar project not a 20 million dollar project. 2/12/2019 4:53 PM 163 Bike parking. Outdoor film screenings in the summer? A modern take on the drive-in.2/12/2019 4:48 PM 164 Please include food spaces 2/12/2019 3:46 PM 165 Arts and cultural space near the river. Keep athletics, (Ducks/UO) out of the space. Make any cowork space affordable. Make office space affordable. An anchor tentant makes sense to keep cost viable. 2/12/2019 3:22 PM 166 In my mind, the most important thing that this project could bring to the community would be to ensure that it functions as a public "third space" capable of drawing public traffic to the waterfront year-round. As it stands, the parks by the bike path get good use during the summer, and there are individual private establishments that are accessible and focus on the water (Roaring Rapids, for example), but there's not a space that splits the difference. I love looking at the river when walking to a game at Autzen or driving over the bridge on 105-- to have some sort of dedicated public plaza-type space, perhaps covered and partially enclosed to enable cool-weather enjoyment, perhaps with a performing arts space or food establishment, is the most important thing that I think we're missing in the city at large (spaces like parks and the Saturday market are great, but again work best come summer, and the fifth street market is much more of a mall than a hang-out zone). Any historic preservation, etc. in my mind should just be common sense non- wastefulness, and should come second to facilitating the development of this space 2/12/2019 2:17 PM 167 Spaces for artists to work and exhibit their pieces is a great way to revitalize an area.2/12/2019 2:04 PM 168 Keep it historic/ as original as possible 2/12/2019 1:22 PM 169 I’d like there to be an growing space on the grounds around the plant. These small plots could be rented to private parties for planting food or donated to local food relief farming groups. 2/12/2019 12:50 PM 170 Plan to Educate, Inform and Entertain - with every brush stroke, key click and first impression. You are Empowering Eugene Enlightenment - worldwide here. Don't be nervous - just have FUN with it - it will show!! You ARE the Best! 2/12/2019 12:02 PM 171 Is there a possibility to use the roof top space for a small food vendor? There are very few outdoor dining spaces in the city and one right next to the river and downtown would be great. 2/12/2019 11:11 AM 172 -2/12/2019 11:08 AM 173 I honestly thing the site should be dedicated as a historical site and sold to a developer who cannot demolish it. It could be a rad brewery (maybe Ninkasi or someone would buy it) or a cool music hall or a multi-restaurant building like the Public House in Springfield. Right on the river with the waterfront redesign, this place would be killer. I just know the City Council will try to make it everything to everyone and it'll end up lame. 2/12/2019 10:42 AM 71 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 174 Having multiple food booths with choice of local food and beverages that appeal to a broad spectrum of people, and can be taken outside in an eating area not designated to one restaurant. The space outside should belong to the visitors, not one cafe or restaurant. 2/12/2019 10:15 AM 175 Please make this accessible...restaurant with reasonably priced whole locally sourced food...highlight the agricultural aspects of our community possibly incorporating local farms and producers...not the exclusive expensive 5th St model but somewhere average wage earners can have a drink or pick up some lettuce. PLEASE consider a COVERED outdoor space with earth elements....river is already water, fire pit, kinetic art would highlight air and garden or rock (maybe climbing, stargazing area) would nod to earth. Please no upscale design...simple and earthy. 2/12/2019 9:25 AM 176 The proposal doesn't look very creative. Spice it up a bit.. you have big windows, get some creative colored lighting going. It is cheap and will make the building stand out. 2/12/2019 8:49 AM 177 I would like to see the commercial spaces be relevant to the public (crafts/arts, locally made items) and open to the public (retail/food) and not closed office spaces that are not relevant to the public use of the building. 2/12/2019 1:09 AM 178 I wish it explained someplace on the website why proposal #2 was chosen over the others. I notice the entire team of 10 members appears to be 100% White men--seriously?--this does not earn community trust. The rendering of the overlook looks ugly to my eye--an intrusive disruption of the riparian edge. 2/12/2019 12:32 AM 179 Parking is difficult in this area, need appropriate amount of bike racks.2/11/2019 10:11 PM 180 Using steam to heat the building would be excessively cool.2/11/2019 8:47 PM 181 I'm so excited about the possibilities, I hope the area feels safer when more people are out and about here. 2/11/2019 4:47 PM 182 Revitalization along the riverfront is extremely important to the City of Eugene for the future.2/11/2019 4:24 PM 183 Please do not pave over all the river frontage!! Please make it rich with plants, biodiversity, quiet spaces, and places for wildlife to share also! 2/11/2019 3:28 PM 184 The steam plant was a central fixture in town, providing heat for the city. It is much like the Foundry building (sam bonds brewery) and mills. It is something that has a story and should be recognized and valued for this reason. It is obviously cheaper and more cost effective to put up a concrete box but that doesn't have a story. ;-) 2/11/2019 3:00 PM 185 I would like to see a restaurant that features the best of Eugene food and beverage, rather than any one specific brewery. 2/11/2019 2:53 PM 186 A rooftop bar is sorely needed in this town. Kinda sad there's only one and it's new.2/11/2019 2:33 PM 187 Once the project commences, there may be unforeseen circumstances that present themselves such as hazardous materials. The only concern that there is enough of a cushion financially to deal with unexpected issues that may come up on the job site. 2/11/2019 1:32 PM 188 Considering tenants/occupants, I think the biggest question to ask is, what kinds of innovative tenants/formats will best serve Eugene? How does it become something that helps redefine our community engagement? What needs should the space and project satiate? Eugene has a dearth of great public spaces for rent/gathering. A flexible open space for multi-use would be an amazing asset (events/gatherings/venue/parties/retreats/workshops/off-sites). 2/11/2019 1:12 PM 189 Use of local design and construction teams 2/11/2019 1:06 PM 190 If public funds (including tax breaks) are used for the project at all, then there should be quality public space. Preservation of the steam plant is not a good use of public funds if the place is limited to offices and an exclusive restaurant space. If you want public funds, the design should spill out into the park on the river and there should be opportunity to sit and read, talk, or whatever you want to do without being required to purchase food/beverages or lease an office there. 2/11/2019 1:02 PM 191 Make a strong connection between the buildings usable space and the walkways and park space surrounding it. Have an inviting open relationship between the interior and exterior. 2/11/2019 12:49 PM 192 Please help create more accessible waterfront that will inspire residents and visitors to linger in the downtown area - but spaces where encampments and panhandling and assaults or fear of assaults don't drive us out. 2/11/2019 12:46 PM 193 d 2/11/2019 11:27 AM 194 Do it soon!!!!2/11/2019 10:27 AM 72 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 195 Must have dedicated parking available. A parking structure with Park&Ride to Autzen and campus area would be a plus! 2/11/2019 10:04 AM 196 Please show off the inner workings of the building!2/11/2019 8:07 AM 197 Provide on-site parking that is free, childcare center, and suing some of the business space to rent out for city offices 2/11/2019 6:30 AM 198 Please consider highlighting and communicating earthquake retrofitting as an interpretive component. 2/10/2019 9:19 PM 199 N/A 2/10/2019 7:21 PM 200 This location of touching the city to the River should be really a wonderful meetup of urban and nature. 2/10/2019 4:06 PM 201 Plan how to limit crime and keep area safe for visitors.2/10/2019 8:16 AM 202 Add an amphitheater 2/10/2019 12:34 AM 203 Please make the indoor part into an indoor water park 2/9/2019 10:08 PM 204 Don’t make just offices accessible to a few 2/9/2019 6:27 PM 205 Put those orange coveralls in a glass case. ;)2/9/2019 5:49 PM 206 make sure it is a green bldg 2/9/2019 2:51 PM 207 I see open "civic" space, rental office space, and a lookout. I don't see any specific cultural programming, physical activity, or evidence of a draw to the space. 2/9/2019 2:21 PM 208 Family friendly 2/9/2019 1:09 PM 209 I think it's great that this area is being addressed and revitalized at last.2/9/2019 1:05 PM 210 We should demolish the building and restore the natural riverbank 2/9/2019 10:55 AM 211 Maybe making a potential kids area inside that caters to the families in the community 2/9/2019 9:06 AM 212 don't overthink it 2/8/2019 11:41 PM 213 River front must be maintained for clean water abd flora and fauna.2/8/2019 7:14 PM 214 Be flexible. As the needs change and programs are no longer viable, be willing to change the use of the bldg as long as the public has access. 2/8/2019 4:39 PM 215 There should be a connection to the UO. Also, check out what Spokane did with their steam plant. My father was instrumental in the conversion of that property, let me know if you'd like to talk to him or hear his thoughts. Kevin Kerwien 541-653-7579 2/8/2019 2:39 PM 216 Making sure that final design includes spaces accessible to the general public (not just office space) . 2/8/2019 1:04 PM 73 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 217 It is a pleasure to know four out of the seven members of the Steam Plant Development team (plus, I recently met Matt Sayre at a Eugene Chamber function). You are all very talented and wonderful members of our community whom I greatly appreciate. That said, I would love to see a more diverse group of people involved and/or representing your project. Seeing a group of 'all white men' -- who also may be coming from similar socio-economic backgrounds -- is somewhat concerning to me. I hope as this project moves forward you integrate a diverse group of influencers onto your team. Regarding the development of the building, I would like to see a more ‘structured’ public space. From what I understand from the available renderings (online images and your video), the space looks more fluid in regards to circulation and looks a bit like a mall or an airport with available places to sit, but mostly it's a space to move through. Additionally, and again regarding the renderings, please pay attention to what you include in your drawings. I see mostly men and do not see many women who look like professionals. The large artwork of male track runners (what I can tell) is also distracting and plays into male-dominated renderings. I recognize that these images are ‘place holders’ for you while your project develops, but those types of images have a great impact on others, both consciously or subconsciously. I encourage your team be very progressive not only with your design, but how you project it. I love that you want to to retain and celebrate Eugene’s past by retaining many aspects of the original Steam Plant and hope you will also celebrate — and encourage — a different and diverse future for our city. New York’s MoMA is doing just that with their current renovation and although Eugene is a small city (and the Steam Plant is not a museum, per se), it would be great to have a renovated Steam Plant that incorporates a highly dynamic, engaging and forward-projecting program. Thank you for your work and for educating the community — and asking for community feedback — on this very important project. Congratulations on what you have already accomplished and I am proud to say that I know many of you! Warm Regards, Dee Etzwiler, M.Arch 2/8/2019 1:03 PM 218 The building is a derelict with no redeeming value. Keeping the facade is pretty much a virtue signal, especially when it's being done by the management group that took away the building's functional role. Far better to just dismantle this toxic relic and redevelop this brownfield. 2/8/2019 11:17 AM 219 Open always to the public.2/8/2019 9:53 AM 220 somehow tie this back into energy production and touch on the importance of greener energy and being energy-conscious 2/8/2019 9:50 AM 221 I love the incorporation of art/cultural space, but that really can't be the focus of this for it to be successful - I guess just don't use *too* much space for that so the building can be filled with profitable/useable space. 2/8/2019 9:31 AM 222 I have yet to see anything about how the building will relate to the environment around it (beyond views of the river). How will it incorporate traffic from the bike path? How will it encourage people to come via the bike path? I also haven't seen anything that addresses how the design and future use will be as environmentally-friendly as possible. For example, with all those windows, I would think that passive solar would be a good option. Also, why doesn't appear to be any women on the design team? 2/8/2019 9:14 AM 223 Accentuate the buildings architectural features. Aboid painting it grey. We have too much grey in Eugene. 2/8/2019 9:12 AM 224 Keep up the good work.2/8/2019 9:02 AM 225 It is important not to bifurcate private/public spaces too severely. If there is insufficient medium ground (I.e. dining/shopping/public rental space/library, etc., the public may feel intimidated by overwhelming perceived private space. 2/8/2019 9:00 AM 226 Make it enjoyable for all ages. We need something cool to take our out of town visitors to do. There really isn’t much, besides the outdoors and not everyone is physically able or wants to to be outdoors especially if they are not use to our unpredictable weather. 2/8/2019 8:24 AM 74 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 227 As someone who conducts research as their full-time job, I am getting discouraged by repeated surveys from the City of Eugene that do not balance "What do you like most" with "What do you not like" or "What doesn't work for you." What doesn't work for me is the possibility that the Steam Plant will not be truly accessible to the public. Are there any plans to protect the safety of people in that building while also offering support to transient people or people without a home? How is potential pollution of the river being addressed? Is the design eco-conscious, biophilic, LEED certified, or taking the environment into account at all? I don't care about Historic Boiler #1, but I do care about the cultural and socioeconomic history of Eugene. How is that going to be reflected in that building? Can the "cultural" area invite participation and feedback? Did you conduct any research with your desired stakeholders while designing this building, and what did you find out? How is this building different from other co-working/restaurant spaces in Eugene? How is it going to tackle the challenges those spaces currently face? These are all things that make me wary of engaging with the Steam Plant without knowing the answers. And as someone with a growing business in Eugene, I would assume I'm one of the people you want to attract to this space. 2/8/2019 8:13 AM 228 Would be interested in making this building solar + water powered. Perhaps having a company or two that actually specialize in these technologies occupy some offices in the building on an incentive basis so that they have easy access to trial their products and services. 2/8/2019 7:42 AM 229 Make sure entire space open to public, stay away from private closed business rental purposes.2/8/2019 7:34 AM 230 Please don’t put anymore low income housing on the waterfront 2/8/2019 7:13 AM 231 The team of designers in the video showcased 8 middle-aged white men. Please share how you will actively solicit viewpoints different from yours with real engagement from other communities. 2/8/2019 7:03 AM 232 Would like to see it inviting and comfortable to all socio-economic classes.2/8/2019 7:01 AM 233 Don’t make it too educational and full of history. I think that’s important but i think if it’s the main focus it isn’t very exciting. I want a fun place to go experience something. 2/8/2019 2:08 AM 234 If there is going to be a future park it’s probably going to get messy with homeless and drug abusers, everyone wants to look at the river, no one wants to look down and have their kids see someone shooting up! Just a thought! 2/8/2019 1:55 AM 235 Traffic flow and parking 2/8/2019 12:43 AM 236 Consider cultural uses that are family and diversity friendly 2/7/2019 9:55 PM 237 Can’t wait to see the final product 2/7/2019 7:36 PM 238 keep out dangerous and disruptive people 2/7/2019 6:52 PM 239 I'd like the steam plant to mesh with the other development happening to some degree. I'd also like to see some of the industrial machinery saved. 2/7/2019 5:31 PM 240 I sense in the past our council finds it difficult to come to consensus on issues. Time is money which they have probably learned from dealing with past issues. Follow the mayors thoughts on this one and decide for positive action. 2/7/2019 3:50 PM 241 It'd also nice if the project had Living Building Certification (https://living-future.org/lbc/certification/)2/7/2019 10:42 AM 242 It would be great to just get this project complete as this area has been under utilized for some time. We do need to have additional commerce down by the river if we want to draw people into this area. It cannot all just be open space and parks. We should also act to get this complete while there is a viable proposal on the table. The city should also work with the developers to create a cohesive retail strategy for the whole area. We do need to attract outside retailers that will complement the existing are and activities (Bike shops, Café, out door recreation). 2/7/2019 9:20 AM 243 Making the river accessible. Current brambles and overgrowth make it impossible 2/6/2019 8:20 PM 244 Partnering with businesses that can truly make the plant dynamic. I would love to see an indoor climbing wall or areas for reading nooks. 2/6/2019 3:53 PM 245 Please make it accessible to the river with restaurant and retail space. There are a lot of people that use the trails that would stop and spend money if they could enjoy the view. 2/6/2019 3:24 PM 246 Keep the space public.2/6/2019 7:54 AM 247 Include outside elements that look natural 2/5/2019 7:35 PM 248 accessibility is important 2/5/2019 5:51 PM 75 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 249 Railroad crossings present several unique challenges to development. If parking space will be developed adjacent to the Steam Plant, please consider working with Union Pacific to address potential bottlenecking around the grade crossing. 2/5/2019 5:33 PM 250 keep integrity of building 2/5/2019 4:32 PM 251 The type of kayak shown in your river view rendering is completely inappropriate and probably dangerous for that section of river. Inner tubes or drift boats would be more appropriate. Thank you for realizing that the river path is an important transit corridor for bicyclist, and that you would take steps to not impede the flow of traffic on the path. 2/5/2019 4:21 PM 252 Low income apts 2/5/2019 3:31 PM 253 do it!2/5/2019 3:26 PM 254 Looks good.2/5/2019 1:58 PM 255 I want a place where people who are on the low economic end can come & feel safe and curious. Eugene has come up with a lot of eclectic shops with really expensive things that creates a feeling of you're not our caliber rather than being a warm welcoming place we who are lower working class want to come back to. 2/5/2019 12:19 PM 256 They should replicate the process that generated this proposal in other areas within the urban growth boundary and offer more creative solutions than arbitrary red tape, fear of change, and general confusion. 2/5/2019 12:13 PM 257 GO TEAM! Thank you!2/5/2019 12:10 PM 258 Finding a way to not make the space rent impossible for local artists.2/5/2019 12:09 PM 259 focus on importance of historical presentation and consider green alternatives for business space heating 2/5/2019 12:04 PM 260 keep it as it is 2/5/2019 11:57 AM 261 Transportation/Parking/Bike Path Access 2/5/2019 11:20 AM 262 Additional office space ok. Don’t like the mix of modern with historical steam plant. Any new construction should match style of the steam plant. Disagree with the architect who thinks the modern works well with the historic 2/5/2019 10:36 AM 263 The importance of new and innovative kinds of public and private use. The space and lighting lends itself to collaborative projects and community building. 2/5/2019 10:18 AM 264 Make sure that it is financially sustainable.2/4/2019 10:30 PM 265 97403 2/4/2019 9:13 PM 266 Making it taller and adding the overlook is a horrible, ugly, inappropriate design feature. The concrete mass to support the large deck is NOT OKAY. The river is gorgeous and that part of the design is ugly and unacceptible. There are plenty of other areas for people to look at the river. We don't need one more messing up the riparian zone. Re-do the steam plant with its current footprint and height and be happy with that. Build it right and add the right features and people will visit. Overstep your bounds and we will protest. 2/4/2019 7:52 PM 267 I'd really like to see a rooftop or balcony space with a river view that is either a bar/restaurant/coffee shop. A place for community to take place around food/drink. For such a spectacular community on the edge of nature, we do not utilize rooftop/ balcony opportunities like this as we could. 2/4/2019 4:17 PM 268 Don’t over brand the walls too much. That seems to be a design element that is popular with new architecture and then there is no room for artwork. I hope you are already considering where the percent for art locations might be. 2/4/2019 4:14 PM 269 The depicted river overlook is surprisingly ugly. It is not clear why the river outlook is even needed. Won't the views from the upper floors be so much better? Wouldn't a crenulated hard landscaped river edge with a variety of seating areas, and view areas, be able to be used by more people? Why spend the money for the minimal use? The small blue metal river overlook across from Valley River Center isn't used that much, so why make another? 2/4/2019 3:20 PM 270 parking Parking, Parking, and more parking! No matter what goes into the Steamplant it will need plenty of parking. 2/4/2019 2:58 PM 76 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 271 hope it happens 2/4/2019 2:29 PM 272 Incorporating elements of information about the history and the setting are crucial.2/4/2019 2:28 PM 273 The Steam Plant also feels like a great landmark meeting spot for running groups and other community meet ups. 2/4/2019 2:26 PM 274 please keep consulting the public 2/4/2019 2:23 PM 275 Just make the place cool 2/4/2019 2:19 PM 276 Food and drink bring people together. HEALTHY food would bring me anywhere in this town. This means food that is helping our environment — from local growers, from farmers who are not using pesticides/herbicides/GMOs, and who employ grass-fed, open-range principles. Traveling to Portland and Bend recently, I have seen the huge popularity of "food truck lots" where there are multiple culinary options, space to sit and eat from any one of them (with cozy heat lamps/fireplaces in winter) and openness to bringing well-behaved dogs so that people who want to stop for a bite while walking their pet along the river have a place to go. 2/4/2019 2:08 PM 277 parking Keep parking behind building to leave river views unimpeded 2/4/2019 2:02 PM 278 keep up the spirit 2/4/2019 1:55 PM 279 Preserving this building is extremely important. I still regret that the old grain mill on third was destroyed and part of Eugene's history disappeared. This is a tragic pattern in this city. City Hall was also an emotional loss for me. Saving the steam plant would help break that cycle. 2/4/2019 11:30 AM 280 nothing 2/4/2019 11:16 AM 281 views/connection to the city are also important, including access to the project from the city 2/4/2019 10:58 AM 282 n/a 2/4/2019 9:28 AM 283 Needs something drawing us to this location accessible for everyone 2/4/2019 6:09 AM 284 How to keep junkies and street people from uglifying the place.2/3/2019 11:25 PM 285 Subsidized art studios = art creation, art instruction, art sales = opportunities for residents and visitors.

Many of the other buildings in the downtown riverfront will not have public access but this one will. 2/1/2019 11:19 PM 297 The manner in which downtown Eugene has been dealt with for the last 30 or so years gives me little faith that this will not be just another transient magnet. 2/1/2019 7:24 PM 298 Be sure to make the generator hall really functional for performance events: good flexible seating; acoustic treatment of the hall. 2/1/2019 3:47 PM 77 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 299 Can we expect this will all be ecologically sound, sustainable with materials, construction etc.? Also, where is the interface with the natural environment other than river viewing? 2/1/2019 2:33 PM 300 The waterfront should remain in the public domain -- private/semi-private uses should not get the prime views/access. 2/1/2019 2:03 PM 301 Local businesses only please.2/1/2019 9:53 AM 302 Do it!2/1/2019 9:39 AM 303 Surveys are fine, but great things are never designed by committee.

Cannot allowed people to camp out on the streets as they do downtown.2/1/2019 9:07 AM 306 Healthy connections to the surrounding area, including the bike paths will allow pedestrian traffic to flow freely. Please, please, prioritize pedestrian & bicycle traffic. 2/1/2019 8:59 AM 307 It might be good to plan for public use or rental of meeting spaces and/or event spaces (like the community centers) 1/31/2019 10:38 PM 308 parking Easy access, free parking. Downtown is getting crowded. Expensive and not so great to go visit. 1/31/2019 10:12 PM 309 Thank you for preserving this building and being transparent and including public in the process.1/31/2019 5:52 PM 310 There needs to be spaces for all socio-economic groups in our community. I like the overlook idea but it shouldn’t only be accessible to people who can pay for a beverage or meal. That opportunity should be available to all. Additionally some soace needs to be provided for community groups to meet. There are far too few places this is possible in the city. Do not just office space but also space for community groups to work it gather. 1/31/2019 5:49 PM 311 Great job, so far.1/31/2019 5:33 PM 312 NA 1/31/2019 5:29 PM 313 Great work! Looking forward to more consumer space 1/31/2019 5:06 PM 314 Don’t add the big office building. If it’s not “financial” without it, fix that problem rather than wrecking the building. 1/31/2019 4:34 PM 315 Like the additional volume that complements the old Steam Plant building contrasts in a positive way with the existing Steamplant building. I would keep the interior of the old Steam Plant building as open and raw as possible and only add necessary functions as contrasting ultra modern volumes the are standing free in the existing space. 1/31/2019 4:11 PM 316 I would not want the Steam Plant to become too shiny or massive (commercial extensions) and out of scale with the natural setting. The Overlook too should not overshadow the pedestrian/bike path along the river. Interior walls should not be used as advertising space for Nike, T&F, or the UO. The Steam Plant should be a public space, a respite from City noise, a place for all of us to enjoy. 1/31/2019 3:42 PM 317 GO BIG - Do not cut corners. The Steam Plant will be successful.1/31/2019 3:01 PM 318 Detour the homeless.

Surrounding plantings and sitting spaces should be native river species. 1/31/2019 12:33 PM 321 It would also be a great place for upscale condo's. require owner living, not rented. perhaps on the top floor. Beautiful view. 1/31/2019 12:10 PM 322 We support you!1/31/2019 11:45 AM 323 Keep the added structure compatible and relevant to the existing historic structure in design and quality of materials. 1/31/2019 9:51 AM 324 For ten plus years, I've part of a small group of people who have felt that the steam plant had a huge potential to bring people to the river to be entertained, learn and to mingle and your vision fills my Eugene heart ansoul with that potential . Thank You! Martha Snyder 1/31/2019 3:04 AM 78 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 325 WiFi capabilities. Charging stations, computer plugins. The Peacehealth Bicycle rentals. Secure lockers to store personal items so spontaneous bike rides can happen. 1/31/2019 1:24 AM 326 Office space is the one use that should absolutely be excluded from this entire development area but especially this property! We are trying to create a vibrant place not one that shuts down at 5:00 and doesn't get used on weekends. 1/30/2019 11:54 PM 327 I would like to see jobs created to help our community grow. We lack career opportunities to keep young people in Eugene. It should not become Portland, but Eugene must become more sophisticated. 1/30/2019 9:49 PM 328 Public access, open space, river access.1/30/2019 9:43 PM 329 N/a 1/30/2019 9:17 PM 330 Make it happen. This is important and visible.1/30/2019 8:31 PM 331 Thanks for doing it. Is there a fountain? How about a walk-in ready art studio for a drop in fee? Some of us can't afford craft rooms. And, perhaps a climbing wall indoors? 1/30/2019 8:30 PM 332 I spend a lot of time defending "downtown" ... many of my friends don't go to the library or to what I consider the best of downtown because they are intimidated by the folks that hangout so much.... what to do ... what to do ??? I think the library (the city) is doing so many good things.. and St Vinny's with the storage pods behind the library... seems so kind... I hope it is helping people. I want everyone to enjoy this new development. 1/30/2019 7:54 PM 333 The bike path needs to be incorporated into the building proposal. Also, the USGS has an important river gauge located at the present concrete pier adjacent to the steam plant that would have to be relocated nearby. 1/30/2019 7:34 PM 334 I think it is another great step in the right direction. As a lifetime resident of Eugene I have seen the unprecedented economic growth over the last several decades. It has been tremendous, but created a need for more social and professional spaces as well as similar expansion in other areas such as art and historical value. I love the plan overall. It will greatly compliment the neighboring plans. 1/30/2019 5:49 PM 335 Maintain both views of river and also easy access by bike and foot. Art installations should take advantage of space not available elsewhere, eg big pieces and/or ‘aerial’ pieces 1/30/2019 5:35 PM 336 time line 1/30/2019 5:30 PM 337 Ensure the homeless population does not have access to the site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1/30/2019 5:21 PM 338 It will be a disaster if homeless people are allowed to camp around it. I noticed, in your photos/drawings, there are no people on the sidewalks with giant backpacks and dogs. 1/30/2019 4:22 PM 339 We need public space that incorporates the river - whether it’s hang out or a formal restaurant. Needs to fit with and honor the natural environment and historic character of the building. 1/30/2019 4:19 PM 340 How to make it a showplace for Eugene instead of a magnet for buskers, beggars, and dealers.1/30/2019 4:16 PM 341 Do it.1/30/2019 3:38 PM 342 Broad appeal is important nice to have business buy in so it is maintained without having city have to foot the whole bill 1/30/2019 3:31 PM 343 Yea! Turn a current eyesore into something beautiful!1/30/2019 3:26 PM 344 -1/30/2019 3:20 PM 345 parking Parking will be a challenge 1/30/2019 2:54 PM 346 parking That having recreational opportunities and social opportunities like restaurants and shops along with open park spaces is what makes people come regularly to a place. I think Hood River did a really good job with their riverfront. They have an amazing park with bike paths and spaces for kids along with restaurants, offices and shops. 1/30/2019 2:05 PM 347 The huge concrete structure supporting the outdoor viewing area is very ugly. I don’t support that look at all. I would want something that blends in more to the natural environment. 1/30/2019 2:02 PM 348 More connection to river. This town needs public boat houses and launch sites. Fly fishers are captivating to watch. 1/30/2019 1:58 PM 349 Want landscape architecture design to envelope the structure 1/30/2019 1:37 PM 79 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 350 It would be nice to have public transit service to the project and that whole area being developed along the river. 1/30/2019 1:10 PM 351 Make affordable apartment complexes instead! I don't want my taxes going to a renovation that is totally pointless, & useless to our community. 1/30/2019 1:02 PM 352 Please make sure the space is practical and not so artsy that it is cumbersome and uncomfortable. Should provide a relaxing atmosphere both physically and perceptually. 1/30/2019 1:01 PM 353 Integrate Nature such as indoor outdoor use 1/30/2019 12:57 PM 354 If you can spend the money addressing homelessness, panhandler parasites, and dozens of other infrastructure-related challenges, please do so prior to applying lipstick to an old building. 1/30/2019 12:52 PM 355 Do not drag your heals on this one. It is a no brainer 1/30/2019 12:27 PM 356 As wonderful as the JSMA is, it is a teaching museum and does not adequately represent Oregon artists—past and present. 1/30/2019 12:22 PM 357 Top priority is more public space than private space; preservation of old structure and functions is a much lesser concern.97405 1/30/2019 12:21 PM 358 Please consider what we "don't have" in Eugene, and not create a space with a little bit of this, this, and this, that we already have plenty of here. 1/30/2019 12:21 PM 359 Question about usage limited answer to only one.Bad questionnaire design.1/30/2019 12:20 PM 360 Focus on benefit to local residents rather than visitors. Food and shopping are the features that will get local residents to frequent the space regularly, thereby assuring economic feasibility and success of the space. 1/30/2019 12:16 PM 361 Don't make this mostly office space. Find a better way to make it sustainable 1/30/2019 12:13 PM 362 parking Parking! Accessible and affordable, please.1/30/2019 12:13 PM 363 The building itself is historically beautiful, and should keep it's character in a renovation. It doesn't have to be made into something it isn't. Let it be a museum for the past and the future dedicated to all aspects of energy. 1/30/2019 12:11 PM 364 I would like Eugene to allow more artists access to this space for little or no cost. We are desperately in need of rehearsal spaces and the Eugene City Council can assist in this way. We want Eugene to be an Oregon arts capitol in the future. 1/30/2019 12:00 PM 365 If it becomes just a fancy commercial and office development with a minor public function component, the opportunity it represents will be wasted. 1/30/2019 11:59 AM 366 Don't let the space languish in an undeveloped state.1/30/2019 11:59 AM 367 no public funding or tax cuts no additional stories added to original structure 1/30/2019 11:58 AM 368 Make it affordable to young families who are usually short of cash (the majority) because of the many expenses they bear in raising their children. 1/30/2019 11:58 AM 369 Please keep hands off the river and greenway. We can all admire it from a distance. I commuted past this property by bike for twenty years from the River Road area to the university. I don’t want to see any impact on the wildlife and waterfowl that have called this area home for much longer than we have been here. 1/30/2019 11:56 AM 370 Demolition and restoration of natural riverbank would be far better than converting/expanding a building with no redeeming qualities. The whole concept is lipstick on a pig. But, if this fortress must be retained, then both the renovation and proposed functions make sense. Increasing the height does not. 1/30/2019 11:52 AM 371 Very excited about what you are doing!1/30/2019 11:52 AM 372 Keep as much original structure as you can, as long as it's safe.1/30/2019 11:47 AM 373 art or community events 1/30/2019 11:47 AM 374 I can't tell based on designs but please leave a path along the riverfront for walking/running/biking.1/30/2019 11:43 AM 375 There are a lot of people to please in the decision making process. Don't let to money cloud your mind with deception. There is another way. Remember all the gas pipelines that have been built and are still going to be built through sacred land. We are not all making great choices for this nation, but a lot of us are.

So that the project does not become a gathering place for at risk individuals who create safety situations in their daily survival. This will be a CENTRAL issue to the success of the completed project. 1/30/2019 11:28 AM 384 Eugene traditionally tears old buildings down. This needs to change. We need to preserve and re- use old buildings to keep Eugene's cultural past alive. 1/30/2019 11:28 AM 385 Beauty and art require financial sustainability 1/30/2019 11:26 AM 386 Community involvement 1/30/2019 11:24 AM 387 Layer it so that is has enough detail in function & aesthetic to be vibrant, interesting, useful and fun. Not stuffy - not a museum! 1/30/2019 11:23 AM 388 Connect the river front to the city using the classic trolleys used around the turn of the century. The trolley barn is San Jose, CA could be utilized to built those trolleys. 1/30/2019 11:20 AM 389 Why is this not being considered as a City Hall site? It is so obvious of a choice, and would save the City a lot of money. 1/30/2019 11:20 AM 390 Willing to consider some level of public funding to help with the preservation part of the project, e.g., urban renewal. 1/30/2019 11:20 AM 391 Provide direct access to the river from the steam plant, unlike the poor use of the river frontage in the other project. Direct frontage, plus access up river bank from boats. 1/30/2019 11:18 AM 392 I am excited to see the steam plant revitalized while keeping the history of the building. I would love to see history of the building exhibit inside. 1/30/2019 11:17 AM 393 Don't screw it up. Many cities have thriving public areas along their riverfronts. Eugene has yet to figure this out and take full advantage of this natural amenity that flows right through town. 1/30/2019 11:15 AM 394 I said my piece.1/30/2019 11:14 AM 395 This is of utmost importance to get right. Thank you for being thoughtful on the concept, keep that energy going through the finish line! I like how you are including the community and not just telling us what will be. Attention to detail at every phase will be important and making sure that we manage peoples expectations and hear their concerns when the project is finished will be crucial. In other words, we won't please everyone, and we may have to sell the idea of why we did this to some. I am excited for Eugene. 1/30/2019 8:14 AM 396 Safety and security are a primary concern when considering the creation of a public space. Although it's important to maintain accessibility for all, it may be beneficial to consider a design that allows for closure of certain areas, such as an outdoor cafe, after open hours. 1/29/2019 4:41 PM 397 parking Just visited Greenville South Carolina and their downtown district is AWESOME. They have a 28 mile path along the river with shops & restaurants, free trolley service, ample free 2- hour parking, public restrooms, places to rent bikes or kayaks, and the businesses are booming. I urge Eugene to look at this model! I would love to have nice places to sit by the river with some food or beer. https://www.sctrails.net/trails/trail/ghs-swamp-rabbit-trail 1/29/2019 11:19 AM 398 It appears to be a big metal box. My assumption is that it will be awfully loud with any kind of human traffic. Probably a good ide to consider sound attenuation treatments when designing the space. Of course, I really have no idea, as I’ve never been in the space. I could be completely off base. 1/29/2019 11:07 AM 399 I would love to see this space intentionally draw in and welcome income diversity 1/29/2019 10:49 AM 81 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 400 Try to incorporate businesses that are different from the already established surrounding ones.

It would be unfortunate to not build in the same quality as the neighboring federal building or the nearbly new construction at the university 1/28/2019 8:43 PM 405 Contact Brandon Woodruff for great ideas 1/28/2019 7:18 PM 406 I would love to see this location developed in a manner that serves the entire community. Eugene doesn't need another office complex or brewery. 1/28/2019 6:56 PM 407 parking Please consider public transport from park and ride spots. Parking.1/28/2019 6:52 PM 408 There's a big opportunity to do something special for the entire community, so putting in yet another upscale combination of office space/restaurant/brewery would be a missed opportunity to create an enriching space that serves everyone, not just yet middle class earners. 1/28/2019 6:48 PM 409 parking Parking & sustainable landscaping 1/28/2019 6:43 PM 410 Make it something unique, the brewery/office space scene in town is overdone as is. Use the location to create a new experience for those visiting 1/28/2019 6:38 PM 411 Eugene already has too many breweries, taprooms and beer-cetric restaurants. Putting in another one with mixed high end office spaces is cliché and shows no originality for the future of our city. 1/28/2019 5:42 PM 412 not too high-end.1/28/2019 4:58 PM 413 It was very important to keep the Steam Plant.1/28/2019 4:30 PM 414 Create opportunities for the community to enjoy views of the Willamette River from the renovated Steam Plant. 1/28/2019 4:29 PM 415 Handicaped lavs & entrances 1/28/2019 2:49 PM 416 Please be inclusive and plan for programming that includes families, free events and maybe even some homeless services. Don't just gentrify our waterfront! 1/28/2019 2:45 PM 417 Nice job City of Eugene for making this project a priority!1/28/2019 2:15 PM 418 Keep it active - don't do a bunch of static projects. Keep people coming back for different reasons 1/28/2019 1:58 PM 419 The bike path is a really important transportation route for me, so I would just want to make sure the transportation corridor remains accessible for commuters. 1/28/2019 1:35 PM 420 I'm interested to see how this project strengthens the connection between the downtown and the river, the river and campus, and campus back to downtown. The distances between these points of interest are relatively small, but there is a perception that campus is siloed off from downtown, which is siloed off from the rest of Eugene, which is separated from the river. 1/28/2019 1:24 PM 421 parking Look to other similar precedent projects to consider what mix of public, commercial, and both for-profit and non-profit uses is right to generate both public access/ use and project income. I.E. the Eco-Trust building in Portland has numerous reasons to stop in and visit (and retained lots of historical character, even around the parking lot) vs. the Heron Building in Eugene which is more commercial-specific visit oriented for a "mixed-use" design. 1/28/2019 1:21 PM 422 Making sure this stays true to Eugene, and accessible to all.1/28/2019 1:13 PM 423 Maybe include possible rental space for parties such a wedding and anniversaries, that area happens to be very desirable for that type of event. 1/28/2019 1:02 PM 424 Don't give us an elephant of failure in order to honor some nonsensical theory -- give us a delightful visual experience that represents the strength of our citizens and brings enjoyment to visitors. It needs to be enjoyable, fun, and worth the energy. The River Views are a competitive advantage - use them. 1/28/2019 12:58 PM 82 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 425 Half the building looks like office space, which is okay. But the other half looks like a bland museum - this half needs to be utilized better. Include an additional restaurant, bar, or retail/shopping space. We need more food options on the riverfront. Don't waste half the building by creating a museum. 1/28/2019 12:50 PM 426 This is very exciting, thank you for being willing to invest in this community asset.1/28/2019 12:49 PM 427 We need an independent city auditor to oversee exciting new projects like this.1/28/2019 12:14 PM 428 parking Rather than spending $90k on outside consultants, they should probably just BUILD HOUSING. All of the fell good puffery of your video ignores the fact that our city is an embarrassment. We need to SHRINK our urban growth boundary and get serious about in-fill. We should change our rules regarding set-backs, and alter zoning requirements to get rid of parking lots. There is no good reason for a city of our size to have a string of single story commercial buildings in its downtown core. ...Your project is way down the list of what should be our city's priorities. 1/28/2019 11:32 AM 429 keep the urban feel along with the history of why the plant has been preserved.1/28/2019 10:16 AM 430 having an anchor draw to the location will be important to bring community and commerce to the location. A local hero would be nice but shouldn't exclude outside Lane Co businesses. An Oregon hero from outside of Lane Co could be a strong draw. 1/28/2019 10:14 AM 431 It would be great to have the majority of the building available for public use, and not for office space. I think you can be creative with finding other avenues for revenue that are more community based and less privatized. 1/28/2019 10:13 AM 432 Permanent art installations on the exterior or outside of the building 1/28/2019 10:02 AM 433 relocate saturday market 1/28/2019 9:41 AM 434 The community cannot sustain this in the short term and will require subsidy. I love the big idea but economically it makes no sense. There is no shortage of office space in the area. The coworking model does not work as anyone who follows the We Company story knows. 1/28/2019 9:12 AM 435 parking I think it would be really disappointing to only focus on filling the building with office spaces. Please think about putting in retail and restaurant spaces that would lend towards tourism. The park and outside spaces are stunning and I really hope there will be opportunity for local chefs, a local winery and a local brewery - and some retail spaces to be featured in the space/on the river. 1/28/2019 7:50 AM 436 More affordable housing. At least half of the units.1/28/2019 12:30 AM 437 Nothing 1/27/2019 10:08 PM 438 Please focus on a space that would benefit our community as a whole, and make this a welcoming place for us and or visitors to enjoy 1/27/2019 7:38 PM 439 There should also be accessible outdoor space with shade trees and benches to enjoy the space outside. 1/27/2019 7:17 PM 440 parking Looking at the space from above on Google Maps, I see that there will be ample parking. But looking inside the space, I do wonder about access for the older set or people not firing on all cylinders physically speaking. Myself included. 1/27/2019 6:45 PM 441 TURN THIS PROJECT OVER TO THE MCMENAMIN BROTHERS. They have a history of successful projects in this area. 1/27/2019 2:16 PM 442 quit wasting tax money we can not afford 1/27/2019 2:15 PM 443 It would be excellent if it had access both paid and not so families or individuals could enjoy without necessarily being there just to visit a business. We’d be more likely to visit a restaurant or store there while also exploring the area or enjoying a bike ride/walk along the different paths than to have to seek it out specifically. 1/27/2019 2:13 PM 444 parking Parking parking Not everone wants to ride a bus or bike So don’t force that on people 1/27/2019 2:03 PM 445 A landing for boats and rafts.1/27/2019 1:17 PM 446 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohrd9I8gt74 https://www.freelanced.com/williammichaelmchugh https://flextek-media.weebly.com/ I would like to help. 1/27/2019 9:27 AM 83 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 447 Look for ways to house/include community organizations so the building serves the community and feels open to all. 1/27/2019 8:37 AM 448 Kids are people too. Cities like St. Louis and Seattle have used decommissioned utility structures as playgrounds. Why not create an indoor playground? This and a family restaurant would create a destination for families. 1/27/2019 8:29 AM 449 Dedicated space for fishing.1/27/2019 3:49 AM 450 Make habitat improvements to river/riverbank in addition to recreation and development.1/26/2019 10:40 PM 451 parking Without convenient transportation options (surface parking, Em-X stop, etc) I would be unlikely to ever visit. 1/26/2019 10:30 PM 452 To use repurposed materials and recycled materials.1/26/2019 8:10 PM 453 Please try to retain as much of the original architecture and the interior features (such as the boilers, generators and steel walkways (when allowed by safety or ADA). The diamonds that decorate the top of the exterior are a signature EWEB feature that can be seen on the Leaburg power plant and some substations, please retain those! 1/26/2019 7:11 PM 454 Do not make it a clone of this firms Portland projects 1/26/2019 6:53 PM 455 Try to stay local. A ninkasi or oakshire taproom on the river would be brilliant. We need more attractive spaces for restaurants to improve the culinary scene in Eugene! 1/26/2019 6:50 PM 456 Keep the river path as a path, not interrupted by any building or private spaces. Offer some affordable food or stores, not just another 5th St. Market. Some covered outdoor space for winter. 1/26/2019 3:07 PM 457 I have lived in Eugene for 26 years and had NEVER even heard of this building before today. Think the cultural/historical importance of this space may be overstretched. If you want to make it a teaching endeavor about the history of manufacturing and industry, why not create an interactive children's museum? There are no indoor play spaces (other than jumping) for children in this community. The closest spaces are in Salem and Portland. What a great opportunity to provide a tourist attraction and a space for locals alike. Maybe it can honor both industry and agriculture in the Willamette Valley, maybe incorporating something like the hands on play and activities like they offer at the The Stauffer-Will Farm in Aurora. Or similar types that highlight manufacturing and industry. Coupled with seeing future technologies. Could be amazing!! 1/26/2019 2:48 PM 458 Looks great! A versatile space 1/26/2019 2:20 PM 459 Make it happen! I would love to go there!1/26/2019 1:19 PM 460 Make it happen, please!!!1/26/2019 1:10 PM 461 Try to incorporate reclaimed materials from the existing building into the design, and aim for the highest level of sustainability 1/26/2019 10:43 AM 462 As a resident living very close by (High Street), I fully support this project, and am happy about the proposed plans. 1/26/2019 10:36 AM 463 Just because it is in industrial building at its bones doesn’t mean it has to carry that feel to the future. It can be respectful to its history and still be warm and inviting to the future. 1/26/2019 10:32 AM 464 To: City Council- My #5 answer 1/26/2019 9:40 AM 465 Use the project to demonstrate earthquake retrofit techniques and earthquake resilience through visual displays and educational kiosks 1/26/2019 9:03 AM 466 Getting feedback is awesome, but having a project that moves forward is even more critical!!! I hope to see this move forward and not stall in an attempt to make it a space for ‘everyone’ as has happened in other exciting development projects in our community. Let’s move forward with something awesome, exciting and financially feasible! 1/26/2019 8:59 AM 467 There are steam plant renovations in Birmingham AL, Spokane WA. and a host of others places. See what they have done. Keep the history in mind. Make it cool, Invite U of O architect students to work with design ideas. Please no inaccessible office spaces. 1/26/2019 8:48 AM 468 Growth of surrounding community and business 1/26/2019 8:00 AM 469 The attached restaurant needs to have outside seating overlooking the river! It would be cool if the restaurant also had space for stainless steel brewing tanks. 1/26/2019 7:23 AM 84 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 470 Eugene desperately needs beauty and respite from ugly architecture, particularly the embarrassingly cheap, eyesore student apartments and other developments that have recently been allowed with no set back from pedestrian sidewalks. Walkability in Eugene is at all time low when it should be set at highest priority. This project, if created with asthetics, green space and coutyards while repurposing a historical building is exactly what Eugene needs more of. Thank you to the local private group for stepping up to get this done right. 1/26/2019 1:42 AM 471 Besides amenities like those I mentioned in #7, I would like to see art and/or other ways of integrating the history of the area that is engaging and impactful and exciting. For example, check out the Bricktown Riverwalk in Oklahoma City. Walking along there, I bumped into a grouping of 35 larger-than-life bronze sculptures depicting a scene from the Oklahoma Land Run. I couldn't wait to get back to hotel to tell the others about it and have been talking about it ever since-- http://landrun.marbleart.us/ Maybe you could attract some donations and grant funding to seek and fund local artists to do some wonderful work . 1/26/2019 1:01 AM 472 Please don't fuck this up.1/26/2019 12:29 AM 473 Livability.1/26/2019 12:23 AM 474 parking Need good foot and bike access from east end of building. Probably needs some limited parking behind the building away from the river. Good tie in with the rest of the riverfront development (and park). 1/25/2019 11:24 PM 475 I think that the space should be accessible, physically, culturally, and financially.1/25/2019 11:21 PM 476 I would love to see Artists in residence. This property used to be my family's Farm, our family story goes that the City needed it to make power. And eminent domain was used to acquire the property. Maybe somehow honor that food/power/water continue to give from that land 1/25/2019 11:20 PM 477 Set a couple of sites food truck accessible.1/25/2019 11:08 PM 478 I’ve visited many user group, growth, and workshop opportunities at WeWork locations. What type of opportunities and organizations could we invite or encourage locally to facilitate these type of events to further strengthen city visions and iniatives? This type of space encourages many perspectives and folks to meet with one another. What type of conversations and organized meet ups can invite people to the table to create solutions with one another? 1/25/2019 9:31 PM 479 An amphitheatre 1/25/2019 9:15 PM 480 Very excited 1/25/2019 7:30 PM 481 Make it a sustainable building with low CO2 footprint, if possible.1/25/2019 7:16 PM 482 Excited!1/25/2019 6:26 PM 483 A mixed/creative/art/studio space where tools and instruments and shop/bench space was available for people to rent or share space and work on their trades / learn / collaborate be a hub of art and culture and design - allowing people to practice their skills, learn from one another, share ideas, and be a functional space to actual make art would be really cool! 1/25/2019 6:16 PM 484 As a 33 year old male with a young family, who grew up here and recently relocated back to Eugene after working in larger cities, I am extremely excited by the potential of this project (and the broader riverfront revitalization). I think it is exactly the type of thing that people like me want to visit on a nice weekend day in the summer with the family, or meet colleagues for drinks after work. With things like the upcoming life sciences research center potentially drawing young professionals to the area, this is the type of thing that helps sell them on building a life in Eugene/Springfield. There is a lot to be excited about with our community and this is one of the reasons. 1/25/2019 6:03 PM 485 Stay as far back from the river with development as you can get yourself to. The river needs space and to be surrounded by riparian vegetation, not buildings, pavement, etc. 1/25/2019 5:38 PM 486 Please hire local, unionized workers to build and plan the site. Thanks!1/25/2019 5:36 PM 487 Keep the public engaged with the design process. Please and thank you!1/25/2019 5:13 PM 488 I think it is not appropriate for the majority of the project to be residential/housing. Gone is the whole community connection from center city to the riverfront 1/25/2019 5:12 PM 85 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 489 Don't let bums and homeless people ruin the new development once it is built. Ensure that there is a plan to keep the new development clean and safe for all people of Eugene. It will be very disappointing if the new development is built and then becomes a place people do not want to go, like downtown, because of the presence of bums and homeless people. 1/25/2019 5:11 PM 490 parking Bike routes and easy bike parking to access the building and bike paths.1/25/2019 4:54 PM 491 I do value history, but I personally see close to zero value in the physical structure of the steam plant. Seems like an ugly square cement building, of which we already have a plethora. I would prefer it be torn down, and something more imaginative be created in its place. 1/25/2019 4:51 PM 492 Remodel the existing building. Don't just "repurpose" it by grinding up the concrete to use as fill.1/25/2019 4:49 PM 493 I am pleased that this proposal has been created. Although Eugene has always embraced a lot of change (particularly architecturally), I feel that it is important to remember historic architecture and to preserve what we can while the city continues to move forward into the future. 1/25/2019 4:47 PM 494 Thank you! It will be so nice to this historical building repurposed and part of current Eugene culture. 1/25/2019 4:23 PM 495 Use only wood from Oregon. Displays on river wildlife, historical river industry, transportation.1/25/2019 4:12 PM 496 I love all the light from the windows!1/25/2019 4:05 PM 497 Please do not subsidize this project when we have families living under bridges, We have higher priorities for our tax dollars. Make this stand alone or don't do it 1/25/2019 3:56 PM 498 Make some parts of it appealing to children. We have so few historical buildings in Eugene. It would be cool to make it a space they could go to learn about our history and see what it feels like to be in an historic building. 1/25/2019 3:53 PM 499 I support this project because it creates jobs, and supports existing businesses in Eugene 1/25/2019 3:51 PM 500 Be sure to complete the project in advance of the Track and Field World Championships.1/25/2019 3:01 PM 501 Look at Bend along their river walk to see a successful community project to enhance retail, dining and community involvement. 1/25/2019 3:01 PM 502 Historic elements are important, but ideally this should be a building designed for easy use by as many Eugenians and visitors as possible. As such, it should be built to the highest standards of energy, water and carbon efficiency to show that Eugene is serious about sustainability. 1/25/2019 2:55 PM 503 PLEASE break the rut of just commercial, or just residential. Consider mixed use to engage the local community. Being able to call a place home includes breaking up the food island mentality that America has. 1/25/2019 2:35 PM 504 As stated above, it is critical that the steam plant development provide public access to retail stores for shopping, and restaurants for dining and brew pubs and wine bars for community gatherings and conversation. Except for the path along the river and a sole restaurant, the remaining Back-to-the-River development will not have public access to shops and restaurants since it will be primarily private residential. 1/25/2019 2:35 PM 505 nothing 1/25/2019 2:23 PM 506 preserving animal habitat keeping vagrants away well lit night areas that are safe 1/25/2019 2:16 PM 507 The sooner redevelopment occcurs the better 1/25/2019 2:11 PM 508 This is a great opportunity to provide a space open to the public and make an iconic restaurant/public area. Consider providing space for non-profits organizations to affordably have events/displays/activities. 1/25/2019 1:55 PM 509 parking Access to the park and river path.1/25/2019 1:41 PM 510 It looks boring.1/25/2019 1:36 PM 511 I wish the river outlook related more to the river. From the rendering, doesn't feel like it's acknowledging the river other than by views. Other than a slightly higher vantage than other locations, why would I want to go up there? 1/25/2019 1:18 PM 512 Why isn't the building being considered as a City Hall and council chambers?1/25/2019 1:11 PM 86 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 513 I'm glad to see that the building will have a purpose that will encourage the public to visit. If the building was all privately developed (office space or apartments/condo), it would essentially be closed to the public. A restaurant or coffee shop would be a great addition as well. 1/25/2019 1:04 PM 514 make sure river view is #1 1/25/2019 1:03 PM 515 Don't fuck it up.1/25/2019 1:00 PM 516 Build the damn thing already 1/25/2019 1:00 PM 517 Focus on innovation 1/25/2019 12:57 PM 518 PLEASE MAKE WHATEVER IS INTENDED FOR PUBLIC USE AFFORDABLE FOR ALL, ESPECIALLY FAMILIES. 1/25/2019 12:57 PM 519 CLT is NOT green and NOT a climate solution. It comes from clearcutting our beloved forests. See Myths & Facts on Forest, Carbon and Global Warming slide show clarifying many misconceptions about forests, logging, and carbon: http://www.slideshare.net/dougoh/forest- carbon-climate-myths-presentation/ 1/25/2019 12:37 PM 520 make sure to acknowledge tribal land, peoples, have an educational display. be sure to work with first nation people on this. 1/25/2019 12:34 PM 521 I know we aren't Portland, but to do something like their riverfront would be pretty neat.1/25/2019 12:11 PM 522 What a wonderful opportunity to buy the EWB building and use it as a City Hall.1/25/2019 12:10 PM 523 Instead of a giant Trestle to look down at the river from, something closer to the river. This will be a great presentation of the beauty of our city. Visiting U of O parents are often seen watching the river from any of the footbridges, especially during “Freshman week”. This gives a great new option. Make it nice! 1/25/2019 12:06 PM 524 n/a 1/25/2019 12:05 PM 525 community meeting space would be awesome, even if it is relative small. Hopefully able to accommodate 30-35 people, and fee-based or F&B related (requiring purchase of food and/or beverage) would be fine. 1/25/2019 11:50 AM 526 Make it accessible by bike.1/25/2019 11:35 AM 527 Keeping it green. I think they need consider it’s a riverbank and I really hope they try to keep it as green as possible 1/25/2019 11:35 AM 528 Ease of access and connection to downtown and the other new spaces is important to create. Inside the building seems very open which I like but it looks cold (in temperature and feeling). Seems very hard and needs some "softness" or warmth. 1/25/2019 11:35 AM 529 Preserving natural areas while aiding public access to the river 1/25/2019 11:31 AM 530 Temperatures are on the rise. Plant wisely - asphalt and cement are hot.1/25/2019 11:29 AM 531 Don't make it downtown just on the river. Make sure it's welcoming to everyone but make sure it's not a panhandler's paradise. 1/25/2019 10:55 AM 532 For my family to visit it needs to family friendly. Safe for little ones to move around in, comfortable restrooms. I don't expect it to look like a day care center, I understand it is for everyone, but if I don't feel comfortable bringing my children there I won't go. 1/25/2019 10:53 AM 533 parking The riverfront park area and housing development overlooked social gathering retail space, eg coffee shops, small cafés, where people could be in inclement weather viewing the river. If you could make up for what I consider a grave oversight, that would be a sugnificant contribution to the city. 1/25/2019 10:43 AM 534 Please don’t make the steam plant something it is not, it’s industrial nature is what makes it so cool. We need old things in Eugene, this town has removed so much of its architectural history. This is a great opportunity to leave something. Don’t dismiss the beauty of the steam plant being just a steam plant. It’s industrial aesthetic is what is so cool about it! 1/25/2019 10:32 AM 535 Let the guiding standard be what would still hold up after a century, and not submit to the typical local vagaries of who cries loudest last...(You know, don't act like Eugene!) 1/25/2019 10:25 AM 536 Use FSC certified products. FSC is the only worthwhile sustainability label for wood products. Mass Timber and CLT projets in Portland have been resisted and protested for using products that are sourced from clearcutting in Oregon. The same will happen in Eugene. 1/25/2019 10:22 AM 87 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 537 I just hope the redesign is not only an office building but truly a place that draws the public.1/25/2019 10:20 AM 538 Restaurant and outdoor live music venue 1/25/2019 10:11 AM 539 this will be a great redevelopment that will drastically improve the riverfront!1/25/2019 10:10 AM 540 Move forward, do not let the process of development of the steam plant go on for years. Have it stay on pace with the rest of the Riverfront development. 1/25/2019 10:03 AM 541 N/A 1/25/2019 10:01 AM 542 Public donations should be encouraged and accepted.1/25/2019 10:00 AM 543 This is an opportunity to further develop the riverfront area for commerce and community. Keeping it open and accessible to the public is extremely important to creating a space for residents and tourists, and not just creating more private business space. Bend, Hood River, and Reno, NV have all undergone significant riverfront redevelopments that have been crucial to the development and progress of the city and economy. 1/25/2019 9:41 AM 544 This is NOT the location to consider low income housing of any kind. Riverfront walk MUST be cleaned-up, which would reduce vegetative density with the goal of increasing visibility and reducing the nefarious activities along the walking path. 1/25/2019 9:28 AM 545 parking Adequate parking and paved trail access 1/25/2019 9:25 AM 546 Family friendly! Available from 8 am - 11 pm. For the coffee lover to the beer lover. A place to get a drink and grab a small bite to eat. 1/25/2019 9:21 AM 547 Make this a space that functions day and night. If used at night it would provide a focal point. If only used during the day for offices it would be a dark concrete block at night. 1/25/2019 9:18 AM 548 parking I've not heard anything about parking, I am worried there will not be enough parking in the vicinity. 1/25/2019 9:17 AM 549 Integrating the building with its surroundings, so it doesn’t look isolated.1/25/2019 9:15 AM 550 parking how will parking be handled?1/25/2019 9:10 AM 551 It needs to provide a place for business to prosper along side providing public accessibilty 1/25/2019 9:08 AM 552 Only bring in breweries/winieries that are majority locally owned.

We all deserve a great space to gather by the river! 1/25/2019 7:58 AM 562 Once again, city of Eugene trying to hold onto things that no one cares about. As Marie Kondo would say, the steam plant doesn’t spark any joy for people in this city, so quit wasting money on a stupid project and do something worth a damn. 1/25/2019 7:52 AM 563 Incorporate education about the river into the design of the building.1/25/2019 7:02 AM 564 Compatible materials, methods and style make a more enjoyable historic rehabilitation. The awkward and odd spaces with new engineered timber stuff just mixes up the space and will make it less desirable for longer term use. 1/25/2019 6:34 AM 565 I think they're doing a great thing and have a pretty good idea so far!1/25/2019 3:13 AM 566 A brewy or some type of outdoor food 1/25/2019 1:12 AM 88 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 567 I like that it can be a hub to help draw people into living in the downtown area and increasing urban density. I think it could provide a space like the Old Mill District in Bend. Shopping and outdoor dining close to natural beauty. 1/25/2019 12:52 AM 568 parking I’m concerned about road and walking access. And parking.1/24/2019 11:07 PM 569 Keep up the good work, our river fronts have been over run with the homeless camps. It would be great to have a clean safe place the whole family could enjoy 1/24/2019 10:10 PM 570 Residential residential residential residential 1/24/2019 10:02 PM 571 Quit talking about it and do something 1/24/2019 9:53 PM 572 I would like to see this space, as well as the riverfront project as a whole as an opportunity to be more architecturally and spatially adventurous given the unique opportunity to have this much new land on such significant land. In my own opinion, the proposal looks to be a completely unrelated building stuck onto this local landmark. It takes no contextual clues from the existing architecture, and yet also makes no exciting particularly compelling statements of its own (Tate Modern's Switch House). I just think this building and it's long-awaited adaptive use deserves a little more architectural significance. I also think the proposed overlook seems over designed that could do with some refinement. I apologize for harshness, I just love this building and want to see the most made of its revitalization. 1/24/2019 9:22 PM 573 I support it 1/24/2019 9:02 PM 574 Don’t put so many conditions on the developers that it collapses under its own weight. I hope the city is a partner in getting this to happen! 1/24/2019 8:58 PM 575 Instead of this project, building additional apartments would help with more critical issues facing our community. 1/24/2019 8:56 PM 576 Make it an “anchor” for more in the area. For everyone - including families.1/24/2019 8:47 PM 577 Expedite it.

I understand there are financial pressures and actors impacting your decisions. Please don't sell your souls for another developer. Eugene is better than that. 1/24/2019 8:14 PM 582 Put something cool on the roof; perhaps a space for live music 1/24/2019 7:58 PM 583 Please provide universal access, and address safe and pleasant walking coonextions to the UO campus, and to downtown. Franklin has been too too dominating all these years. 1/24/2019 7:44 PM 584 It's about people-- something besides business, or university, or government, yknow? Make it kind of a 7-days a week combination of talks, music, panels, City Club of Eugene, etc 1/24/2019 7:37 PM 585 Making it all-age friendly, from little kid to senior citizen & all in-between (accessible), protect/expand green-space (many moving to green roofs, green walls, water collection, etc.). 1/24/2019 7:15 PM 586 feature as much of the natural landscape as possible; incorporate into design 1/24/2019 6:46 PM 587 I would ultimately like to see downtown stretch closer to the river, but I would still hope this project preserves the peacefulness and natural beauty of the river 1/24/2019 6:40 PM 588 Let there be cooperatives and apprenticeships. <3 1/24/2019 6:39 PM 589 Can it be made more accessible from 5th Street?1/24/2019 6:27 PM 590 This is a great opportunity to bring foot and bike traffic to this part of the river 1/24/2019 6:21 PM 591 It should be economically viable to happen. Pie in the sky cultural goals just end up keeping the space from being occupied and activated. 1/24/2019 6:09 PM 592 It's going to be a hot mess of gentrification, so just do your utmost to keep it quiet and don't forget nature. It needs to feed birds and bees at the least. 1/24/2019 6:03 PM 593 That it's very important to keep this edifice of the area's history from being lost to time.1/24/2019 5:58 PM 89 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 594 1.Please please please make sure you have an acoustics specialist on your team. You can really ruin a space with bad acoustics. You can’t have a performance space with bad acoustics. 2. I will not go there if the place has more homless vagrants then Eugene patrons. 3. I will not visit if the place had poor lighting outside the building and it looks not safe. 1/24/2019 5:57 PM 595 Include many options to walk to/from the venue 1/24/2019 5:54 PM 596 Open air river front promenade with adjacent low to mid priced food options (foodcart-like booths?), with river view open seating. Outdoor music stage. A Wandering Goat coffee satellite. A climbing wall (licensed to an operator) and an indoor/outdoor skateboard miniramp where people can watch or participate or both. Basically Saturday market food court year round, on the river, with interesting activities to see and/or participate in. 1/24/2019 5:52 PM 597 Please consider the potential impact on river habitat 1/24/2019 5:48 PM 598 It must be financially viable, yet fun. Use decorative art to create atmosphere.1/24/2019 5:45 PM 599 Make it nice or else people won't come.1/24/2019 5:39 PM 600 It would be really cool to have cultural/historic features here, and then convert EWEB north building to a multi-cultural center for marginalized communities. Sort of bookends to the new riverfront development/park 1/24/2019 5:37 PM 601 That unique historical/cultural redevelopment of the Steam Plant should be seen as an important asset for the rest of the riverfront development. 1/24/2019 5:29 PM 602 you didn't provide an opportunity to ask what I least liked. My answer would be the lack of a restaurant/brewpub 1/24/2019 5:23 PM 603 parking Make sure there is enough parking 1/24/2019 5:16 PM 604 Looks great. What measures are in place to preserve it from being loitered/defaced by the homeless population of Eugene? 1/24/2019 5:06 PM 605 I'd like to see more of a dedicated open space for the Saturday market.1/24/2019 5:04 PM 606 art installations being considered 1/24/2019 5:00 PM 607 Make it usable space 1/24/2019 4:57 PM 608 parking Parking. It seems that the parking situation in downtown Eugene will worsen with this development. 1/24/2019 4:43 PM 609 N/A 1/24/2019 4:41 PM 610 Please make this a publicly accessible building.1/24/2019 4:40 PM 611 Recreational component - ingress/egress to river and rental of sup, boats, etc.1/24/2019 4:37 PM 612 Attempt to get a good mix of tenants - it keeps the place interesting and engaging. Too many office tenants does not a vital building make. 1/24/2019 4:33 PM 613 Creating an interactive museum like experience would be the best use of the space it seems to me. Something like an OMSI with interactive displays and things for families to enjoy would add a lot to Eugene I think. 1/24/2019 4:29 PM 614 It has to be financially feasible or it won't work! I hope the project team is conservative about what will work but try to achieve as much historic preservation and public space inside as possible. 1/24/2019 4:22 PM 615 The redesign absolutely has to consider the health of surrounding waterways and soil. I am also very concerned that the council is going to consider all Eugene residents. Our current administration is all too willing to sell out the City to the moneyed interests of Portland and San Jose, which is a false victory. Eugene needs to consider Eugene residents first and foremost. 1/24/2019 4:15 PM 616 .1/24/2019 4:09 PM 617 parking We need to know exactly where this is, so residents can figure out driving, parking. Is there parking? 1/24/2019 4:07 PM 618 N/a 1/24/2019 4:05 PM 619 Security to keep it safe 1/24/2019 4:05 PM 620 It is most important to me that the structure be honored for it's history and not be so modernized and homogenized that it's unrecognizable. 1/24/2019 3:59 PM 90 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 621 No need to reinvent the wheel. Take a look at what other cities have done (i.e. Torpedo Factory in VA), and move forward. The history of it is interesting, but not enough to dedicate primary real estate; a few graphics near some historical equipment is all that's needed. 1/24/2019 3:55 PM 622 Keep it as multi-use as possible for many people to enjoy.1/24/2019 3:49 PM 623 lots of new trees and landscaping 1/24/2019 3:42 PM 624 Since the history is steam power, I think it would be important for the redesign to focus on sustainable energy/green design. 1/24/2019 3:40 PM 625 Unless the homeless situation is cleaned up people are not going to feel comfortable going to this new spot. My husband won’t even let me go downtown by myself because of the questionable element there. 1/24/2019 3:27 PM 626 Roof top access would be awesome!!!1/24/2019 3:26 PM 627 Something to encourage physical activity and overall physical health and well being . . . Maybe a climbing wall. 1/24/2019 3:16 PM 628 parking Make sure there is plenty of really good parking. AND a place to sit and look at the river thats away from the building so walkers can enjoy the redevelopment while still in jogging clothes 1/24/2019 3:15 PM 629 parking if there isn't free parking no one will come 1/24/2019 3:08 PM 630 More info for public.1/24/2019 3:06 PM 631 parking Making a space kid/family friendly would be great. See Portland Hopworks Urban Brewery restaurants for family friendly spaces. Make them bike friendly too with good bike parking (covered, accessible, and big for family bikes). 1/24/2019 3:01 PM 632 public access is very important. The steam plant should offer a unique experience, not duplicate experiences envisioned elsewhere on the riverfront site. 1/24/2019 2:52 PM 633 parking needs lots of well-lit covered/weatherproof bike parking 1/24/2019 2:47 PM 634 Without it, the Riverfront development doesn't hold as much interest for me. I don't need a restaurant or a condo, but I do need arts and culture. 1/24/2019 2:45 PM 635 Keep it financially responsible. Provide information in the area for the homeless to find/get services. Routine police presence to keep the area safe for families and individuals. 1/24/2019 2:44 PM 636 Please make it financially viable!1/24/2019 2:43 PM 637 Would like a local architect.1/24/2019 2:41 PM 638 Please please please collect taxes from the developed site! No MUPTE here again please. Please. Please keep the historical aspects intact. 1/24/2019 2:35 PM 639 Like I already stated, lots of outside seating and river views to gather with friends and family.1/24/2019 2:33 PM 640 parking Pet friendly area near overlook where people could grab a drink and run their dogs. even better, would be a dog park that runs into the river. 1/24/2019 2:30 PM 641 very happy that space will finally be used 1/24/2019 2:20 PM 642 Accessible to all members of community, promotes safe space that is based on education and community development. 1/24/2019 2:20 PM 643 While this all looks nice, I have a hard time aligning these images with the harsh reality of the homeless shanty town I pass on the North Bank path everyday on my way to work, just a few hundred yards (and out of sight) of Mcmenamins and Sweetwater restaurants. I see fictional people in these pictures that don't match the people I see utilizing the path everyday. People with three jackets, and a bulging backpack that contains everything they own. That beautiful river overlook is also going to overlook people who have nowhere to sleep. Those happy families in those pictures might have to rub elbows with literally unwashed masses. Those office execs with be freely collaborating ideas ten feet from someone digging through the garbage. I see a repeat of downtown: great shops for people with money having to navigate their way through people who have nothing. This plan seems very nice, but to me it feels like someone discussing getting botox treatments to look younger while ignoring the cancer diagnosis they received from their doctor. 1/24/2019 2:18 PM 644 Make sure local artisans and Saturday Market businesses in Eugene are involved.1/24/2019 2:16 PM 91 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 645 For the cultural display, consider incorporating something that acknowledges Calapuya culture and history. 1/24/2019 2:16 PM 646 Something functional on the rooftop 1/24/2019 2:14 PM 647 Please please protect our river and help integrate a natural space as well. Local plants and animals should love this design too 1/24/2019 2:08 PM 648 I think it’s most important for this space to bring people together. This location is unique given its proximity to downtown and stunning views. Creating a place to gather and longer would economically benefit the riverfront development, local businesses, and downtown. 1/24/2019 2:06 PM 649 Keep it simple,look at Bend's old mill district.1/24/2019 2:05 PM 650 Nothing. Just very excited about the future of this building.1/24/2019 2:04 PM 651 I think it is very important to include public uses, a restaurants, shops, theater, etc.1/24/2019 2:00 PM 652 Bad experience with Mark Miksis on a prior project. Not sure his company would be a good choice. Issues with HVAC system using improper metals and other portions of plans not followed at all due to cost overruns. 1/24/2019 1:59 PM 653 parking Please make this project feel young and not cater to older, higher income members of the town because otherwise it'll be unused by us freelance, craft beer enthusiast, community- oriented millennials. Also parking, and sense of safety after dark. And don't close it too early! 1/24/2019 1:57 PM 654 I would consider the financial obligations in this. For a grand redesign (of the whole riverfront) of this scale it is going to cost a lot of money and more often than not historical landmarks, museums, etc. struggle to bring in profit. Also being honest I as well as many citizens in Eugene don't even know what historical value this steam factory has to our city. I've driven past that factory many many times and the only thought I have ever had is "Damn I'd love to play paintball there." It could be a great contribution to the new development but if it is not getting proper Visitor numbers due to lack of knowledge or appreciation it will not be sustainable and that's what we are all about here sustainability. 1/24/2019 12:58 PM 655 Please consider a sister project that will help restore the purity of our beloved river that it overlooks. I'd love it if you all considered Mother Nature in this as much as you can. Rooftop gardens?? 1/24/2019 12:24 PM 656 Make money for the city 1/24/2019 10:15 AM 657 Acknowledgement of the steam plant and gas facility's detrimental environmental past.1/24/2019 9:43 AM 658 parking Important to not interfere with the path, but try to incorporate it as well. Bike parking, dedicated lanes, etc. Dog friendly environment if possible. 1/24/2019 9:36 AM 659 i think it is most important to focus on the history of the facility. incorporation of a mural from the time period and pictures and art from that period as well. 1/24/2019 8:54 AM 660 parking Please help us clean up our area of downtown and the river front. And allow more free parking so we don’t have to pay $2.00 to park and be harassed by strangers looking to intimidate us as we go about our errands or look for a place to eat. I am from Los Angeles/Pasadena, and there are many parking areas where you can get the first hour free or first two hours free. Parking meters all around downtown Eugene is excessive. This is a small town where life is supposed to be affordable and reasonable. Paying for parking just to go to Addictive Behaviors with my kids for a half hour is absurd. Also, the neighborhood doesn’t carry enough desirable/family friendly activities to justify paying to park and also risk the potential for being intimidated by strangers looking to make mischief. Like I said, I have young kids and I don’t go downtown if I can go somewhere else in town where it’s free to park and safer. So I think for any major/expensive developments to really pull in industry and profits the city needs to recognize how people like us will go spend money where it’s safe and easy to come and go. We like 5th Street Market area exactly for these reasons. I know most other families and people in Eugene want the same thing. I have lived in Eugene, worked at the Y, teach in South Eugene, have kids in sports, and my husband works at EWEB. We are very embedded in the community, and I know my requests are similar to those of many, many others who want to see Eugene thrive. 1/24/2019 8:05 AM 661 A fishing platform 1/24/2019 7:28 AM 92 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 662 You SHOULD have asked: "what do you NOT like" about the proposal. Not asking is undemocratic. SO here's what's wrong: The river overlook is pretentious, trivial, unnecessary, disrespectful of the public and wild areas, and frankly, makes me worry about the ability of the people who are designing this project. The interior additions are incoherent, poorly-shaped, and unrigorous, making terrible, wasteful use of the space. If this was a first-year studio final project, I would weep for the future. 1/24/2019 2:03 AM 663 Roof top bar 1/24/2019 1:19 AM 664 Where is the use of steam in the design?1/24/2019 12:25 AM 665 I’m ecstatic that this is going to happen! This building is a historic landmark that should be preserved in some form. 1/23/2019 11:59 PM 666 We have waited a LONG time for this. It will be a tremendous asset.1/23/2019 11:22 PM 667 Ease of access via all modes of transportation (including river boat). Homeless community impact prevention. Lighting! How it looks from outside and ambiance inside. 1/23/2019 10:59 PM 668 This project has the potential to tip the scale for the downtown area: ecc, keep your attention on the end goal and don’t getting bogged down by those who resist change. 1/23/2019 10:43 PM 669 I think it should be open to host events... corporate and social.1/23/2019 10:36 PM 670 This project must be done.1/23/2019 10:26 PM 671 It is important to make a sp e that will attract a lot of folks for shopping and food otherwise it seems it will just become another hangout for the homeless. 1/23/2019 10:07 PM 672 Thank you!! We have been waiting for something like this. It’s time to open the waterfront!1/23/2019 9:26 PM 673 So many wonderful artists could add with studios or such. St Vinnie’s Foundry would be wonderful in a place like this. 1/23/2019 9:16 PM 674 A rooftop dining or bar experience would be extremely attractive. In our climate, there would need to be some design creativity for our wetter and colder months- retractable roofing, warming firepits? 1/23/2019 9:15 PM 675 It’s got soul. There’s nothing like it in the area 1/23/2019 8:40 PM 676 Finish talking. Start physically restoring.0 1/23/2019 8:15 PM 677 It’s an exciting project, and our best chance to ensure that the EWEB redevelopment is uniquely Eugene 1/23/2019 7:57 PM 678 The developers need to take seriously the value of creating spaces where the community comes together to something other than make and spend money. 1/23/2019 7:08 PM 679 Okay, directly to the team: I'd suggest really looking at the potential for this space to boost community and economic development in ALL sectors of Eugene. The UO should NOT be highlighted as this is CITY property, therefore, the goals of this project should reflect the values and vision of Eugene as a growing, inclusive, very-outdoor oriented and political sensitive medium sized Oregon city. The UO attracts students from around the world and since this project is located very close to campus, close to downtown, and therefore connects much of the elements of Eugene. 1/23/2019 6:57 PM 680 City should help make the design become a reality 1/23/2019 6:03 PM 681 Please ensure that most if not all of the interior and exterior is available to the public. It is a beautiful historic building and I hope the 1930's Art Deco vibes will remain. 1/23/2019 5:49 PM 682 The preservation of this building is a waste of public and private resources 1/23/2019 5:15 PM 683 Do it.1/23/2019 9:35 AM 684 Do the right thing and make this happen 1/21/2019 11:27 AM 93 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 ATTACHMENT E River Guides Member List • Julie Daniel • Nigel Francisco • Harris Hoffman • John Iglesias • Victoria Nguyen • Matt Roberts • Karen Williams April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1 April 24, 2019, Work Session – Item 2 EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Work Session: Applicant Statements for the Planning Commission Meeting Date: April 24, 2019 Agenda Item Number: 2 Department: City Manager’s Office Staff Contact: Cas Casados www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-8497 ISSUE STATEMENT This is an opportunity for City Council to hear from applicants for open positions on the City’s Planning Commission.
