[WEC] Eugene City Council to discuss setback requirements on June 9

[Chris Pryor]

I was the one who asked for the work session, so I plan to be an advocate
for the Collaborative position. I will share the letter as well.

Dear WEC friends, 

Rob Inerfeld tells me that on June 9 the Eugene City Council will be
discussing setback requirements, per our recommendations (see below).

Materials for the meeting should be available online by the end of this
week.

Subject: Final letter re building setbacks going to Council and EPC


Dear WEC friends, 

Later today, the attached signed letter on building setbacks along West 11th
Avenue will be distributed to the Eugene City Council in their weekly
packet. It is also being distributed to members of the Eugene Planning
Commission.

The letter is the second draft I circulated a week or two ago, tweaked
slightly to address concerns Lisa Gardner raised: She wanted to make clear
that buildings are not required to be built right up to the right-of-way,
but that the standards actually provide for a range of setbacks from the
right-of-way.

CHRIS: I expect it will primarily fall on you to bring the letter to the
attention of the Council, or at least to be the primary spokesperson
offering additional perspective on the intent of the letter. Staff in the
Planning and Development Department have indicated they are prepared to
answer technical questions around the letter, should any arise.

JAN & GARY: Although I have NOT taken any special steps to make the letter
public, it is now a matter of public record. The media do get copies of the
Council's packet, and so might have questions about the letter as early as
this week. If the media has questions, they will go to you.

ALL: By my count, this letter is the third formal recommendation coming out
of the WEC:

    1) West Eugene EmX Extension purpose and need statement.

    2) Study of Highway 126 between Eugene and Veneta. 

    3) Building setbacks along West 11th Avenue.

While these are all modest efforts, I believe they do demonstrate the
ability of the WEC to find solutions and reach consensus on a variety of
transportation-related issues in west Eugene. I look forward to the heavy
lifting we will be doing in the next month or two, and our final
recommendations.

Lastly, I am sending this message to the WEC list-not the larger WEC_ALL
list of interested parties (including media). I leave it to others(Emily?
Tim? Jan? Gary?)  to decide if and when to distribute the letter to our
interested parties.

Thank you all around for good work,
Rob Z
