No <br /> contact with others. FYI, I will be out of the office on Friday and Monday, back Tuesday. If somebody <br /> needs to talk to someone at the county before Tuesday, please call 011ie or Ed Chastain, Traffic Engineer. <br /> From: JACOBSON Jerry P <br /> To: JENNINGS Carrie A; HANEY Ed R <br /> Cc: ETTER John F; JOHNSON Jim R; ANDERSEN Chris F; FERGUSON Joe M; LYLE Les A; REINHARD Dave <br /> N; McNEEL Gary A; CHILDS Jan W; STINCHFIELD Tom <br /> Subject: RE: Softball fields - 4J site <br /> Date: Thursday, May 07, 1998 4:45PM <br /> For your information, Kurt Yeiter and I met with Don Hanley in February to disuss annexation and land use <br /> permit issues. He seemed to realize at that time that it wouldn't be possible to get everything in place (site <br /> configuration, site design, annexation, rezoning /conditional use permit, etc.) by this summer. We have had <br /> no contact from him since that time that we can recall. <br /> From: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> To: HANEY Ed R <br /> Cc: ETTER John F; JOHNSON Jim R; ANDERSEN Chris F; FERGUSON Joe M; LYLE Les A; REINHARD Dave <br /> N; McNEEL Gary A; JACOBSON Jerry P; CHILDS Jan W; STINCHFIELD Tom <br /> Subject: RE: Softball fields - 4J site <br /> Date: Thursday, May 07, 1998 2:56PM <br /> From: HAMMITT Bob <br /> I don't know the current status of the Willamette Valley Fastpitch Foundation Softball Field proposal. It is <br /> a complicated proposal, as School District 4J, City of Eugene, EWEB, and Wildish properties are all <br /> involved in the development plan. The property is not yet annexed. They are attempting to figure out <br /> property alignment to make the project fit, and then will need to apply for annexation. I understand part of <br /> their dilemma is getting to closure on access alignment and location. This section of Coburg Road is under <br /> County jurisdiction, so the County is also involved. When the softball representatives contacted the <br /> county, they were told they needed to work through the City, as the road would likely be part of the <br /> annexation proposal making it City jurisdiction. Softball representatives want desperately to get their <br /> project underway and are becoming more assertive in dealing with the issues. I know they contacted Jim <br /> Johnson a couple of days ago, however I don't know the result of that conversation. Jim has indicated to <br /> me the need to designate a City staff person to coordinate the different issues with them. <br /> Les Lyle, Dave Reinhard, Chris Andersen, John Goodson, 011ie Snowden, and I met earlier this week <br /> regarding another subject, and I had the opportunity to bring up the issue of coordinating the softball field <br /> proposal. 011ie agreed that Tom Stinchfield from the County would coordinate efforts with Gary McNeel <br /> from the City to resolve the access issues. <br /> There is an article in today's newspaper regarding School District 4J's proposal to use part of this site for a <br /> football stadium. It is my understanding that the softball representatives have already had conversations <br /> with District 4J about the possibility of co- locating the softball complex and football stadium, utilizing <br /> common parking, access, and utilities. <br /> hope this is helpful. There seems to be an extraordinary amount of issues to work through on this <br /> proposal. I know the softball representatives are becoming increasingly frustrated because of their inability <br /> to make more rapid progress and get decisions out of the involved parties. <br /> Page 1 <br />
