The Board has already met <br /> with folks and passed this resolution in favor of the proposal. WUN have a general <br /> meeting coming up this Thursday, so if there's information to share about the parks- <br /> sponsored work shop that would be great to share at that time. <br /> Xoxo beth <br /> Original Message <br /> From: NORRIS Steve D <br /> Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 11:17 AM <br /> To: BRIDGES Beth B; HOSTICK Robin A <br /> Subject: FW: WUN Board resolution regarding West University Park <br /> FYI: <br /> Original Message <br /> From: healeyd@onid.orst.edu [mailto:healeyd@onid.orst.edu) <br /> Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 11:09 AM <br /> To: KELLY David S; PIERCY Kitty <br /> Cc: Goldman, Don; Gross, Kellyn; Steve Jarvis; Laupheimer, Craig; NORRIS Steve D; Drix <br /> (SMTP) ; Valle, Marie; Wallace, David; Walsh, Adam <br /> Subject: WUN Board resolution regarding West University Park <br /> Dear Mayor Piercy and Councilor Kelly, <br /> The Board of the West University neighborhood association, West University Neighbors, met <br /> last night (July 28, 2005) with community residents, EPD Officer Randy Ellis, University <br /> Small Business Association representative Sheila Daughtry Abbott, Eugene Parks Department <br /> representative Robin Hostick, property owner Bob Quinney, and developer Gordon Anslow to <br /> discuss the West University Park on East 14th between Patterson and Hilyard. As you know, <br /> the park has been closed for about 10 years. The neighborhood association has held several <br /> meetings to discuss how to have a viable park in our neighborhood. After hearing Officer <br /> Ellis's detailed description of the issues with pocket parks and Sheila Abbott's concerns <br /> as a 13th Street business representative, we heard a proposal from Mr. Anslow. He <br /> described a land swap where the Quinneys, who own the property at the corner of 14th and <br /> Hilyard, would exchange their corner lot for land at the back of the current park. The <br /> current West University Park would lose depth but extend to Hilyard Street: 200 feet on <br /> 14th Street and 65 feet on Hilyard Street (approximately 13,240 sq.ft.) rather than its <br /> current 16, 150 sq.ft. They plan to build a two- to three-story apartment complex with <br /> upper balconies and windows looking down on the park. Officer Ellis expressed cautious <br /> support for this idea, which would provide more "eyes on the park, " thus greater <br /> likelihood for success. <br /> After discussion, the West University Board unanimously approved the following statement, <br /> to be delivered to City Council: <br /> 1 <br />
