design and costs estimates. At minimum, 4J should be asked to prepare <br /> drawings and formal costs estimates for at least one stadium before the <br /> city makes a final decision. <br /> 4. I am not convinced that the residential neighbors have been advised <br /> that there will be potentially tremendous public pressure by sports <br /> groups to use the lighted facilities on a daily basis during the summer <br /> months. Lights were considered for installation at Monroe Middle <br /> School, but were disapproved after it was learned that the fields would <br /> be potentially lighted late into the evening to accommodate summer <br /> league baseball. If lighted recreation facilities are desired, then <br /> "best" locations should be considered for these facilities rather than <br /> allowing the siting process to default to the existing high schools. <br /> Eugene would be much better served if the city first designed what would <br /> be best to meet city goals and then decide how these plans might be <br /> integrated with the athletic needs of 4J. Before any other action is <br /> considered, the City should at least ask the district to come forward <br /> with a single stadium / sports complex proposal and see how that pencils <br /> out. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kenneth Jones <br /> 530 Roan Drive <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 -5759 <br />
