Planning Commission Interview Questions
1. The Planning Commission generally meets two evenings each month and
additional evening meetings are sometimes necessary. There are also materials
to be reviewed in advance of these meetings that may take a couple of hours to
read. Given your work and/or family demands. can you fully participate as a
Commission member?
2. How familiar are you with planning laws and pOlicies and the purpose they serve
in Springfield's land use decision making process? If your experience with these
laws is limited, what actions would you take to become familiar so that you can
function fully as a Planning Commissioner?
3. Many of the land use laws applied by the Planning Commission are state or
federally mandated. During a Planning Commission hearing how would you
reconcile your own personal opinions with the applicant's interests when those
interests do not comply with the land use laws?
4. What is your general understanding of the relationship between the Planning
Commission and City Staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council?
5. What roll do you think the Planning Commission should have with the
revitalization of downtown?
6. How would you recommend balancing the community's need for attractive
commercial and industrial development with the rights of property owners?
7. The State of Oregon is performing the first comprehensive review of the Oregon
land use system since adoption of Senate Bill 1 00 in the 1980's. It's being called
"The Big Look. II If you had 2 minutes to testify before the statewide task force
charged with performing "The Big Look" what would you advise them?'

Questions for Planning Commission Applicants
1. What is your personal interest in applying for the position?
I have lived in Springfield for a year and own a business in Eugene. I plan to live
here for the rest of my life, so I am interested in partIcipating in the civic life of this
area. Because I have traveled extensively and spent time living on both the East and
. West Coasts, I also have some perspective about best (and worst) city planning
practices. I would like to bring whatever wisdom I have gained to the decision-
making process about development of Springfield as it prepares for the future.
2. What do you see in Springfield's future and howcan you, as a Planning
, Commissioner, helpto realize that future?
, Weare entering an era of declining access to oil and as a result the way we build our
'cities will have to change to accommodate this reality. I see a vibrant, local economy
, with more dense housing, green, community oriented development that is planned
around a walking, biking, and mass transit planning more than an expansion of car-
oriented, isolated single family housing suburb development.
'-.., 'I think the job of planning is to look 30-50 years into the future and use that vision to
guide planning for today that is still useful for future generations.
3., Describe your experience in working as a member of a group that makes
decisions.
I have been the member of several ncrn--profit board of directors (Triangle Community
Center, Founding President, Women in Sales, President, Connecticut Women's
Education and Legal Fund, Board member, Healing Harvest, Board Vice-President).
I am also a partner in a health care clinic (Village Health Services, President). It has
been my experience to practice deep listening, patience and truthful firmness as the
keys to authentic collaboration that creates win-win solutions to issues that need
resolution.
If people feel valued, respeCted, heard and experience consistent fairness in decision-
making, then the process of making decisions runs more smoothly. It has taken me
awhile to learn to become an elder who can cultivate good council to those who ask
for my advice and input.
Of course, groups can get into heated debate, yet at the end of the day if we keep the
overall goals in mind, disagreements can happen while everyone's best interests are
still served.
3-4
4. Describe how you would balance the need for economic development with
. neighborhood preservation or environmental values. '
, ' ,
I think long ~ange economic, commercial and residential development planning
are essential when viewed in the context of the Springfield/Eugene region. We
should look at what industries we want to attract, how likely those jobs are to stay
, , here (and not be outsourced), how they add to an economy that will need
alternative energy and relocalization of the economic base to be viable into the
future.
Springfield has an excellent preservation example in the Washburne District to
follow for the rest of the city. If the city can define district character and build on
the charm and distinctiveness of those districts, it can become a must see,
destination for local people and tourism. I think there is great opportunity for
SpringfieldlEugene to develop alternative energy; high quality organic food (fresh
and preserved), sustainable building designs & practices; low impact, efficient
, public transportation; high density, attractive living downtown; visual &
performing arts; antiques; world class integrative health care and an innovative,
socially responsible financial services industry. ,
. "-,,;;,^,
The educational system needs to retool to train people for more hands-on
technical jobs as well. W ewill always need plumbers, electricians, carpenters,
mechanics, painters, roofers, craftsmen of all types to perform jobs here. The
health care sector will remain strong as an employer as the Baby Boom generation
ages and Sacred Heart Riverbend becomes a regional medical center. We should
look at what the needs will be for people coming to this area from the region
should that campus become as well known as the Mayo Clinic.
5. When a proposed development conflicts with an adopted plan or the Development
Code, how would you, as a Planning Commissioner, resolve the conflicts?
I would study the adopted plan and the Development Code to see what variance is
being requested. I am a common sense sort of person, so the issue would depend
on how far a field the proposed development was in terms of the overall adopted
plan: I think we need to balance flexibility with economic reality and the desire to
keep moving forward as a city. I strive to find win-win solutions for all
concerned, so it takes the willingness to practice excellent listening and
communication skills. If all parties feel respected, heard and fairly treated less
problems result and more sustainable progress is realized.
3-5
6. Do you have any specific ideas for changes that should be made in any of our
adopted planning or development review documents or in how we review
development proposals in Springfield?
'To be honest, I do not know enough about the current process to comment on this
question. When I am more familiar with what is working and what is not
) " working, I would be in a better position to offer ideas.
7. Can you commit the time necessary to be an effective Planning Commissioner?
Yes. My business is starting its second year and is in a good position for me to
carve out some time for civic duty. I have a flexible schedule and I am fairly
effecttve with my time. I will do my best to fulfill the requirements of the
position. '

Executive Summary .
Visit Eugene/Springfield... Where Visionaries Live and Practice
Creating our Future
Become a national destination for how a small city/twin city redesigns itself to meet the
needs of the future by providing a cleaner environment, local vibrant economy,
alternatives to oil-based economy design, local food, local energy, interdependent,
peaceful living. Let us plan the future before it happens to us!
Oregon Economic Vision & Business Focus
Innovative energy solutions '
Practical, life-long education
Vibrant, local, sustainable economies
Effective, collaborative, patient-centered health care
High quality locally produced food
Socially conscious financial services
Eugene/Springfield Economic System
.,-Strong within the geographic boundaries
Local, high circulation of money that is reinvested within the community
Interdependent, largely closed system, less need to import goods from long distances
Answers need for less outward growth '
Reinvigorates existing property use
Provides a central place for diverse, passionate communities to synergize projects
Authentic Collaboration* & Practical Wisdom** Revitalizes Downtown
The University of Oregon, Cities of Eugene & Springfield, Chambers of Commerce use
the principles of authentic collaboration and practical wisdom to create vibrant
, downtowns for both cities. The centerpiece for Eugene and Springfield is designing and
building two community specific innovation centers in the heart of each downtown.
The Oregon Center for Innovation (OCI)...A place where all paths cross and flourish.
OCI beconies the energetic nexus located in the heart of the city that unifies and
energizes the community.
3-7
The design ofOCIwill come from studying the Women's Rural Entrepreneurial Network
(WREN) located in Bethlehem, NH. This thirteen+ year old organization contains a
business incubation & training center, cooperative retail, and art gallery in one place. '
They specialize in training and inspiring women who want to create their own businesses,
providing them with the knowledge, capital and marketing to insure success. WREN
receives memberships, donations, grants, and percentage of sales as funding sources.
OCI builds on WREN's best practices and experience. OCI is a place where the strength
of Eugene/Springfield;s ideological and cultural diversity is centered. For Eugene, it
provides a permanent home for Saturday Market, artist work & gallery space, urban
permaculture living, high quality healthy & culturally diverse eateries, music, dance,
social activism, interfaith quiet/prayer space and cooperative retail space. For Springfield,
further exploration would be needed to determine what constituencies need to collaborate
on the design of OCI for this city.
OCI houses an interactive, living history museum that describes the e~olution of the city
and its distinct districts. OCI teaches city revitalization utilizing practical, sustainable, ,
local strong economy, and permaculture principles to other city visionaries & leaders.
. '
Tourism & Transportation
Define parts of the City as a collection of districts with distinct character (such as the
University District designation in Eugene & Washburn District in Springfield). Provide
clean, low impact public transportation that takes people on tours of the city leaving from
and returning to the existing bus stations and the airport. These shuttle tours can be 'cute,
quaint or quirky vehicles (like the cable cars in San Francisco, horse drawn carriages in
New York's Central Park or the Duck amphibious vehicles in Boston).
... -~:;'~.'.
Honor and explain the history of each area while highlighting the strengths that come
from the interaction & synergy of this collective character (or is that collection of
characters!). '
Funding the Future
Locally-owned banks and credit unions form the Fair Credit Card Company (Fe3)
FC3 provides credit cards at reasonable interest rates, returning profits from transaction
fees and company investments to a local community investment fund (after
administrative costs and prudent investment reserves are set aside).
The local community investment fund serves several purposes: provides funding for local
business incubation & lending, public works projects, social programs, addictions
treatment, local farming, etc. while allowing everyone who uses the card to become an
"angel investor". People feel good about investing in their community without having to
change their behavior. This plan obviates the need to raise taxes, while providing people
with access to and education about fair credit.
3-8
Consultation with educational, economic, legal, banking, accounting, tax, insurance,
, credit processing, local business & local government visionary professionals determine
how to organize this company as a consortium project actUalized by different banking
and credit institutions. This project fosters fair collaboration and mutual benefit for
,business, while at the same time providing people a way to choose and learn how
responsible use of fair credit works. People can choose affInity cards to fund specific
projects and social problems (i.e. Pothole repair & street maintenance, addiction
treatment, corrections system redesign, business incubation, pernlaculture building) that
are not adequately addressed by current taxation designs.
'.
According to Catherine Austin Fitts of Solari.com, we need to teach people enough about
our current economic system so that they realize why it is not working. For example, the
top 20 US banks earned $84 Billion, while US households had a deficit of $342 Billion.
Fitts also states that for $1 deposited in a bank, $162 of loans can be created.
FC3 allows processing fees and interest payments to be re-circulated in the local
community, rather than transported out of the community to credit card operations
, located in states that have repealed usury laws (South Dakota, Delaware). FC3 is the road
, to relief from predatory lending practices.
Local, high rate of circulation of money allows people to trade the same money over and
over for the goods and services they desire. This practice strengthens interdependency
and trust. Local strong employment lowers crime rates, addiction and domestic violence
problems because it alleviates despair by providing hope that pays well.

Questions for Planning Commission Applicants
., 1. What is your personal interest in applying for the position?
I have lived in Springfield since 1992 and have watched it grow. I also work in
Springfield and am very interested in improving the businesses and residential,
areas. I believe that if we work together we can revitalize Springfield and attract
more businesses and folks that want to raise their family in a quality environment.
2. What do you see in Springfield's future and how can you, as a Planning
Commissioner, help to realize that future?
I believe that Springfield has the possibility to rethink, redo and rebuild. I think the
Planning Commission position will enable me to work with local and out of the
area, interested busines~es bring a more aggressive business model that will
provide, more family wagejobs and make Springfield a City folks will be proud of.
3, Describe your experience in working as a member of a group that makes
decisions. . '
I have worked in a Sales capacity since 1970. That has enabled me to work with
, various businesses, finding out what their goals and dreams were for their
, business and how best to meet those goals. I have worked with Presidents of
companies, sole proprietorships and all the way down to the guys who fasten
'equipment together to make their products, All along the way helping these folks
make decisions to improve their businesses. '
4. Describe how you would balance the need for economic development with'
neighborhood preservation or environmental value.
I would look to the community for feedback on what, how and when they want '
the improvements. I would consider what the economic impact would be if
development were allow~d, and what, type of preservation or concession the
developer had in mind, and then bring back that information to the community.
5. When a proposed development conflicts with an adapted plan or the
Development Code, how would you, as a Planning Commissioner, resolve the
conflicts? ,
First, I would consider how the development plan would provide jobs or services
for the community and then determine if the current Code should be revised or
enforced. .
6. Do you have any specific ideas for changes that should be made in any of our
adopted planning or development review documents or in how we review
development proposals in Springfield?
I have not seen any of the above documents, but, if they are not in plain English,
easy enough for all to understand, then my suggestion would be to translate
them to plain English to speed up the planning and development process. As far
as the planning and development, I am very interested in positive growth, a safe
city that one will be proud of to call Home. I think with the Glenwood area
redevelopment and possibly a Convention Center, Springfield will be a
destination that will attract tourist dollars, quality citizens, and a pride that will
send a message west of 1-5.

,Questions for Planning Commission Applicants,
, , ,
, '
,1:" What is your personal interest in applying for the position? '
Both my home and my business are in Springfield. 'I am very passionate about
Springfield and care about Springfield's present and future.
2, What do you see in Springfield's future and how can you, as a Planning
Commissioner, help to realize that future? '
I see Springfield being a nationally known destination. A place where people
come to visit and look to relocate. A Convention Center that allows National and
, International conventions to be held. Something for everyone. Expanding our
boundaries to include the outlying areas.
. ,
'3. Describe your experience in working as a member of a group that makes
decisions. ' '
, I have worked with the Springfield Chamber Greeters for seven years and on
many committees that have made numerous improvements in the Springfield
, area. Currently as co-chair we are working to bring the National Ambassadors
Convention t6 Springfield. As a business owner I work with different businesses
both locally and nationally, to assist them ,in achieve their marketing goals.
4. ' Describe how you would balance the need for economic development with
neighborhood preservation or environmental value. "
After careful research to balance the needs of the community I would then see
how the development will impact the area and how it will affect the future of
Springfield.
5. When a proposed development conflicts with an adapted plan or the .
Development Code, how would you, as a Planning Commissioner, resolve the
, conflicts?
I would carefully review all of the documents involved and research to see if there
have been any similar conflicts to see if a precedence has been set. I would then
weigh the needs of the community to see if we need to go in a different direction.
6. ' Do you have any specific ideas for changes that should be made in any of our
adopted planning or development review documents or in how we review
development proposals in Springfield?
In my opinion as I have never dealt with the actual documents I can only address
the planning, My thoughts are: Springfield needs to have a family friendly
downtown, we need a convention center to further our business growth, we need
to become a destination with room for families to grow,
7. Can you commit the time necessary to be an effective Planning Commissioner?
This means about tow meetings monthly with several hours of preparation time
for each meeting, plus occasional joint meetings.
Yes.

PLANNING COMMISSION QUESTIONS FOR APPLICANtS
Sheri Moore
. '"
. ,", . . ' : '
, , '
. . ' . . .
. - . .
1. I have recently retired from teaching and now have some time to volunteer. I
am very impressed with the direction Springfield is heading. I am proud to be a
, member of the community and would like to do whatever I can to help Springfield
continue to improve.
2. I see a community committed to being safe and progressive. A town that is
growing, while maintaining a small town atmosphere. 'I see a vibrant~downtown
with a strong art community and a strong Latino community. I see opportunities
for Springfield to redefine itself and in the process face many challenges and
overcome many obstacles. I would be an enthusiastic supporter of positive
change without giving up that which is already great about Springfield.
, 3. , worked for over twenty years with a school staff t~at every school year faced
problems in budget, space' utilization, and scheduling. Every year, working to-
gether, we came up with creative solutions. "ve also been a decision making
member of boards and committees at my church .
4.' I think the cost' of development should, be shared with all involved. That
means considering the environmental impact as well as the economic impact of ,
development. I don't believe preservation necessarily means staying the same.
My husband and I have had many home remodeling and yard restoration pro-
jects' over the years. The result has always been better for the home and the
neighborhood. In the backyard of our current home, we removed two huge wal-
nut trees. ,t was a dramatic change and a difficult decision to make but we have
replaced them with twelve trees and eventually a pond. I see change as making
something better.
5. The reason the code allows variances is that each plan is unique. In the
event of a conflict, I would consider the merits of the proposed development and
make a decision based on facts presented and the interests of the community. If
there were extensive conflict with existing code, I would need supportive re-
search and input from all parties involved to make an informed decision.
6. No.
7. Yes.

Planning Commission Application, Page 2
1. The experience I bring to the planning commission is one of a business owner
who has opened many new business ventures in the past 10 years. I not only have
experience in my own ventures, I experienced a lot of the planning and
implementing process as the manager in charge of opening several Starbucks
Coffee stores (in Oregon and in the Washington, D.C. area) as well as working
with Outback Steakhouse to open new sites (in Arizona and Washington, D.C.
'area). I also have worked with the city during the permit stage in the construction
of new business as well. My career has given me the opportunity to interact with
a couple different city planning offices. In addition to my business background, I
have experience in landscape design. I am passionate about physical aesthetics as
they pertain to the physical geography in the area I live. .,
-
2. I am hoping to contribute the passion I ,have as a member of the generation that
will inherit the results of the decisions the planning commission makes today. I
also offer the commission a keen interest in and love of the landscape and
geography of our city. 'My contribution to the commission will also be a ,
Springfield business owner's perspective - not only as one who desires a great
business environment, but also with the city's landscape and geography as well. .
My work in landscape design will help balance a growth focused Metro General
Plan with thought to the appearance of our city's layout and design.
3., Since living in Springfield, my involvement in community activities has been
related primarily to the physical landscape of Oregon. I have coordinated a 60
person team in conjunction with the SOLV beach clean-up organization in
Florence. I have also led a team as we worked with Eugene Parks and Open
Space to renovate trials in the Spencer Butte Park.
.. " ~t. \.,
, '
4. I grew up in Tempe, Arizona. I have seen what a true urban sprawl looks like. I
now live in the most beautiful area in the U.S. and I want to be a part of helping it
grow responsibly. lam really excited about living in Springfield, raising my
children in Springfield, and retiring in Springfield - I want to see it grow and
prosper! I believe that taking control of our own growth boundary and enforcing
high standards in the new real estate development, as well as re-development is
paramount for our future success. I want to be an active member in seeing this
come about and leave a real legacy for our next generation.

" Questions for Planning Commission Applicants
1. My personal interest in applying for the Springfield Planning Commission comes from a
strong personal desire to see Springfield grow in a beautiful way. I want to see us grow
responsibly with landscape integrity and keep our city a true gem in the Pacific
Northwest. For years I have been interested in the development of real estate and through
involvement with the planning commission, I will have the opportunity to evaluate the
development of our city hands-on. My interest also stems from being an owner of my
own home, a rental property, and a business all here in Springfield, as well as raising
children here in Springfield. I have lived in several areas of the United States and in
cities of all sizes, and I chose to settle here and raise a family here because I love the
incredible things Springfield has to offer. ' ~
2. I see our city growing considerably in the next 15 years. I want to help facilitate that as a
business owner as well as a landscape designer. I want to see our city grow with the
grace of a well planned and executed plan.
. . - ". . -
, ' ,
- '
, ,
3.. My experience in working as a member of a group making decisions has been
challenging and rewarding. I have been in groups deciding how to create a vision for a
chUrch. I have also led groups deciding how to excite the staffs of 16 restaurants'
employees about the next promotion. I am a patient man and value each member's view.
I believe we only see in part and need a group of people to see something clearly.
4. To balance the need of economic development'and maintain environmental values we
need to place a value on the physical geography of our city. As new development is
proposed we keep a strict standard of landscape material and maintenance in each
proposed new development. Again design is the most important factor in finding balance
in growth versus preservation.
5. To resolve any conflicts regarding proposed development plans with existing plans I
would like to get as much input from the community as possible. I would also like to use
as many experts in the field as possible to explain the pros and cons of each plan. After
reviewing the facts moving forward with the commission would be the fmal move.
6. I do not have any specific ideas for changes to the adopted planning or development
review documents as this time.
7. I can commit the time necessary to be an effective Plalming Commissioner. I am really
looking forward to helping shape our city for the future. Bi-weekly meetings and
preparation will not be a problem. It would be an honor to serve our city, to give 20
hours a month is not too much to ask.
