1. Sale of Surplus Property -10~' and Main.
RESOLUTION NO. 10-45 - A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AN OFFER FROM
SPRINGFIELD CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN FOR NON-MONETARY
CONSIDERATION OF CITY OWNED SURPLUS PROPERTY.
City Engineer Ken Vogeney presented the staff report on this item. On May 17, 2010, the
Council, by resolution, declared certain real property surplus and directed staff to offer it for sale
for cash ~or consideration other than monetary. Staff received one non-monetary offer on the
property in question and recommended that Council direct staff to enter into negotiations on the
terms of a sales agreement with the offering party.
.This action involved approximately 642 square feet of City owned land that was being used as
street right-of--way abutting 1082 Main Street, .shown on Attachment 5 of the agenda packet,
designated surplus by the Council on May 17, 2010. The Springfield Church of the Brethren, who
owned the property at 1082 Main Street, had made anon-monetary offer to acquire the surplus
property (Attachment 4 of the agenda packet). This was the only offer staff received for the
property.
The non-monetary consideration the Church of the Brethren planned to provide the City included:
development of the land to help achieve City goals for mixed use urban development along Main
Street; providing affordable low .income housing to the City; utilizing State and Federal funds to
provide additional resources to the City; and to provide jobs during construction to help stimulate
the local economy. If acquired, the Church intended to use the surplus property area to meet
building setbacks required.for their onsite redevelopment plans for low income housing. The
Church had secured a federal grant, but risked losing the grant without acquiring this property
because they would not be able to. meet minimum density requirements.
Given that the staff opinion of the value was consistent with the terms of the offer, staff
recommended the offer from Springfield Church of the Brethren be accepted and that Council
approve the associated Resolution (Attachment 1 of the agenda packet).
Mr. Vogeney described the non-monetary offer.
Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing.
No one appeared to speak.

SURPLL:
City Engineer Ken Vogeney presented. the staff report on this item. On January 19, 2010, the -
Council, by resolution, declared certain real property surplus and directed staff to offer it for sale.
Staff received one offer to purchase the surplus property and recommended that Council direct
the City Manager to complete the sale of the property as described in the attached resolution
(Attachment 1 of the agenda packet). Council opened this public hearing on April 5, 2010 and
-~ continued the hearing until July'6, 2010 at staff's request.
This action involved approximately 0.251 acres of City owned right-of--way, designated as
surplus, shown in Attachment 6 of the agenda packet. The parcel abutted the property of the
offering party, Elder Health & Living (EHL) Corporation. EHL's offer was accompanied by a
comparative market analysis prepared by Ms. Blewett of Prudential R.E. Professionals
(Attachment 3 of the agenda packet). City staff examined the surplus property ands adjoining
properties and records of sales. After meeting with staff, EHL submitted a revised offer
(Attachment 2 of the agenda packet) of $22,500, which was more consistent with comparable
properties in the area. The revised offer did ask the City to pay an estimated $515:00 in closing
costs. Ms. Little, who managed property held by the City for investment and rental purposes, had -
reviewed the offer and noted it was consistent with current market conditions and valuation for
medium density residential. zoned property (Attachment 4 of the agenda packet):
The original offer contained information regarding an earnest money agreement. The City did
not intend to sign an earnest money agreement, but would simply go to closing and provide a
Bargain and Sale Deed containing reservations in consideration for the payment oflthe sale price.
To allow title insurance to be issued for the property, the City Attorney's office had negotiated a

dedicated
Considering that the staff opinion of the land value was consistent with the terms of the offer,
staff recommended the revised offer from EHL be accepted, but recommended the buyer pay any
closing costs associated with the sale. The attached resolution contained conditions for retaining
easements and other restrictions as provided in City Council Resolution 10-04, m addition to
reserving an easement for an existing street light and associated underground conduit that should
attach, to the sale of this property. EHL was aware of these restrictions and had not expressed
objections to staff.
Mayor Leiken continued the public hearing from April 5, 2010.
No one appeared to speak.
Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing. '
Councilor Pishioneri asked how large the property was in square feet.
Mr. Vogeney said he did not have that figure before him, but it was approximately
1/ acre. .

BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE
1.
Garv Baldwin, 13593 SE Portland View, Happy Valley, Oregon. Mr. Baldwin said he
owned property on the northeast corner of 14~' and Main, near Heyman Lolcks. He
inherited the property from his father, Dr. Wallace E. Baldwin, who had lived in this
community for forty years. When they inherited the property in 2005, it was in serious
disrepair. His family put over $100,000 in improvements and they were very proud of it.
As the recession hit, they had people that wanted to rent the space that hisfamily did not
feel were appropriate. They chose, instead, to lease the property to a church. Reverend
Bill White was in the audience. Reverend White worked with low-income people and
those with drug and alcohol problems. This fit more with the family's wa of thinking for
Springfield. When they talked to the City about putting in this church, there was no
requirement regarding the direction of parking. This was a .10,000 retail splace 'on 20,000
feet of property, so there was ample room to have diagonal parking which most strip
malls had. There was no mention that t they would need to have parallel parking to the
building as it set on Main Street and 14 Street. When Reverend White had trouble
making the rent, the Baldwin's reduced the rent. Reverend White was still having.trouble,
so he wanted to put in a day care center. They applied and were granted that with
conditions, including an extra bathroom, an extra exit, and a fenced area for the children
to play outside. There was no requirement at that tune for parallel parking on Main or
14t'' Streets. On Apri128, The City said they had made a mistake and needed parallel
parking. That took parking down from 18 spaces for three viable retail places, to 9 spaces
and two of those were handicapped. That didn't work and was detrimental to the use of
the building. Because of these requirements, the church had to leave which was a net loss

to the Baldwin's. When they told the people next door to the church what might be
required, they said they would opt out of next year's lease, which they did resulting in
another net loss. If they went back to retail in that space, which it had been for forty-three
years, the City was now saying they would be required to get a new permit and pay a fee.
They may also be required to put in parallel parking. That would leave thel building
unrentable. He asked Council to help them with this issue. `
Ms. Drew Baldwin distributed packets of information to the Mayor and Council that
included photographs.
COUNCIL RESPONSE
Mayor Leiken said he and Councilor Leezer had met with these folks on this issue If councilors
wanted additional information. about what occurred, he suggested they contact Development
Services Director Bill Grile. Mr. Grile could provide information on what some of the options
were and some options for Council.
Councilor Pishioneri said it was interesting to look at specific. cases, but they also 'needed to look
at other properties if adjustments were made to one property. He would like to know if this was
an anomaly or if it would impact other businesses.
Mr. Grile said he did not realize Mr. Baldwin would be at the meeting tonight, so was not
prepared with all of the information. He said. he could provide the additional information of the
issues and options, including. information from the City Attorney. He felt staff had bent over.
backwards to try to resolve this. He did appreciate Mr. Baldwin's position that the situation was
still not resolved to his satisfaction. Mr. Grile did not have the authority to waive the ordinance.
Councilor Simmons said a building was just completed at 18t'' or 19~' that was an auto repair
facility. He was curious if the same type of requirement was imposed there. The parking spots at
the Baldwin's building had been there since it was built in 1965.
Mr. Grile said there was diagonal parking on Main Street that had been there for many years. To
get in and out of the parking required backing into the sidewalk area across the right of way,
which they had video showing. The concern of staff was. the day care center and requirements for
dropping off people and the modification of the existing parking on the west side of the building.
That had looked at various options. The building official creatively applied the requirements for
the modifications to the day care center to minimize the burden to the center; and lie stood by lus
decisions. -
Mr. Leahy said a written report would be best. There were two issues: approval of'the day care
center; and the City right of way being utilized by the entity for purposes of the facility. Council
would want information from the City transportation division regarding a possible encroachment
permit or other options. He pointed out that if an encroachment permit was :allowed and someone
backed out on the sidewalk and injured someone, the City could be liable. ,Council could provide
direction. _
Councilor Wylie thanked the Baldwin's for coming. She thought they did an excellent job of
presenting the issues. Staff would bring information.to the Council for their consideration. She
appreciated Council's information.

Planning Manager Greg Mott presented the staff report on this item. The three metro area
jurisdictions were directed by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) to
extend the planning horizon in TransPlan to more closely coordinate with the federal regional
transportation plan, and to remove all completed projects from the project lists.
On June 17, 2010, the Eugene City Council, Springfield City Council, and Lane County Board of
Commissioners held a joint public hearing on the following proposals: -
1. Non-site specific text amendments to the Eugene-Springfield Regional Transportation
System Plan (TransPlan) to adjust the planning period from year 2015 to year 2027 to
reflect actual slower growth rates since TransPlan's adoption and to be consistent with the,
. previously adopted Lane County coordinated population forecast.
2. Remove completed transportation projects from TransPlan's project lists.
3. Non-site specific text amendments in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General
Plan (Metro Plan) needed to maintain consistency between TransPlan and the Metro Plan..

Councilor Wylie said she had read through Commissioner Handy's comments and she agreed
with some of the "things he mentioned. She felt updates were needed regarding progress on the
TransPlan, such as what had been accomplished, what were the priorities, and what wasn't being
done. If that was included in the work plan, she was fine with moving ahead with the date
. knowing they would continue to work on the plan. She did feel, however, that checking to see
where we were on some of the projects would be healthy. She would not disagree with having
some of that information when moving ahead. '
Mr. Mott said Transportation Manager Tom Boyatt and David Reesor were preparing a very
detailed work plan for creating Springfield's new Transportation System Plan. Both were also
participating in a regional effort with Eugene, Lane County, Coburg, and the MPO to prepare a
new Transportation System Plan that would take the place of TransPlan. They couldn't create that
without all of the constituents included. One of the things needed was inclusion of projects that
supported land use planning. Bumping TransPlan's horizon date to 2027 primarily enabled
Eugene, Springfield and Lane County to be compliant with the requirements of the Transportation
Planning Rule (TPR) by having our TransPlan and the Federal Plan as closely linked to the date
as possible. That was the specific. instruction received by the commission in 2008. They didn't
instruct staff to re-analyze all of the components of TransPlan to see what happened if it was
extended by the extra twelve years. One of the reasons it was not too relevant, wash that the
population figure was what was coordinated with the projects, not a particular year. That figure
would most likely now be reached in 2027, rather than 2015. The rule required a five percent
reduction in vehicle miles travelled (VMT) over the 20 year period. He explained how that
reduction may not actually affect congestion if those reductions were during off-peak times. The
effect would not likely be very pronounced, even if going out to 2027.. It was more likely there
would be an impact if the cost of gas rose substantially. In the next year and a half, Council
would.be looking at all of the measures, projects, models, infonmation on green house gases, and
other things the legislature or commission chose to impose. Assistant Public Works Director Len
Goodwin, who was present at tonight's meeting, would forward Council's request for more
progress reports to Mr. Boyatt. .
Councilor Wylie gave examples of some of the positive things that were in place. She asked if
there would be some way they could tell what was being accomplished. It sounded like that
information would be provided over the next year and a half. .
Mr. Mott said there was a lot of reliance on modeling. A household survey had rep
completed that included information about choices people were making, but modE
needed along with information from Lane Transit District (LTD). They were able
of that information into charts and graphs that were reliable and an indicator of of
failure. Staff would be going to the commission on July 22 to talk to them about c
meet some of the benchmarks regarding jobs and housing. There could be discuss
different kind of benchmark or standard.
Councilor Simmons confirmed that Commissioner Handy's comments and Lane C
response were part of the record. Correct. The plan showed that parking needed to

City hadn't .accomplished that. Commissioner Handy's points were untimely, but valid. If
Council was going to adopt this on the basis of the record, they would be adopting something that
did not have all of those details. He asked how long it would be before they could get those
details.
Mr.. Mott said one of the issues that would be resolved regarding those performancie measures on
nodes would be addressed on July 22. He was not sure all the problems had easy solutions.
Civilizations had been heading towards. this for many years, and were now given five years to
turn it around. The susceptibility to this rule didn't address what was actually happening. People
were expected to change their behaviors, but not everyone was responding to that and couldn't be
forced. Since there was choice and lenders were more comfortable with certain development, it
was not surprising.
Mayor Leiken said social engineering did not work. He said he would rely on paid staff to go
through the large reports and provide updates and information to the Council.
Councilor Lundberg said she agreed. Everything was based on modeling, which was only as good
as human behavior. She said she happened to live in a node at her current home, but that had
nothing to do with planning fora node. They couldn't analyze what they couldn't quantify, so
modeling was the best we could do. If the City got rid of all parking, people would ride the bus,
but the City was not going to do that. They needed to depend on staff that were experts so
Council could make best guesses as to what created the community we wanted. That was why
land use planning was very important.'
Councilor Wylie said she was excited about what we were doing. She noted the increase in
vehicles in the Park and Ride. This was change that the City had supported. She took the bus to
the University of Oregon games and many other people did, too. Change was occurring and that
made her happy. When the Gateway Loop of the EmX was complete, they would see more
change. It's good for her to know the good the City was doing. She didn't want a detailed
analysis, but rather feedback on what was going well.
Mayor Leiken said he rode the EmX because it was his choice and not forced. He was supportive
of choice.

opportunity to swear in Chief Groves as Fire Chief to Springfield in the interim until
. a final decision was made on the merger.
3. Mayor. Leiken said that on Saturday, he and Mayor Piercy welcomed the different
.countries that participated in the FIMBAMaxrBasketball games: There were a
parade of countries which was great and the teams seemed very excited.
4.. Mayor Leiken asked if it was correct that the Lane County Board of Commissioners
(LCBC) had indefinitely postponed the conversation about the Area Commission on
Transportation (ACT): That was correct. He asked if the deadline to submit the
bylaws to the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) was September.
Mr. Towery said there was a deadline in October, but the plan was to get it to the
-OTC in September.
Mayor Leiken asked for a hard date for the deadline. If Lane County didn't make a
decision, it would go back to the legislature, who would make a decision for us. He
felt it would be better to take the recommendation of the committee, of which
Councilor Wylie had participated. The committee had worked many hours and had
come together with their decision. He asked Mr. Towery to keep the Council
informed.
Councilor- Wylie said both she and the Mayor were at the meeting when the by-laws
were to be adopted by the LCBC. All of the mayors from Lane County were
represented at that meeting as well as other stakeholders, including two members of
the OTC. The LCBC tabled the by-laws with no reason. She and the Mayor did
.testify at that meeting. One of the unique things about this process was that all of the
communities, both small and large, came together, worked together and agreed on a
set of by-laws. Currently, the LCBC was not choosing to adopt them as written. The
mayors did send a letter declaring they were happy with the product and felt it was a
good process. An impasse had been reached with the LCBC. This was a great
opportunity to work together and was something some of the commissioners really
wanted to-have. It was tragic that such a good effort had gone to waste at this time.
Councilor Lundberg said it was her understanding that the OTC
meeting said they would approve it as it was written.

question was whether or not it would be the by-laws which the committee agreed to.
If the OTC received a set of by-laws, and a critical mass of the stakeholders objected,
they would not expect the OTC to mediate and choose between the two. At that point,
the OTC would most likely decline to act and the issue would be sent to the
. legislature at the next session.
Councilor Lundberg asked what would happen if it went to the legislature. '
Mr. Towery said the legislature would write the by-laws. Any legislative process
would include some level of input..
Mayor Leiken said because this was carried by Senator Prozanski, he would have
some input.
