~~fi~y increase the level of soil compaction, and measures aze required to protect <br /> vegetation. The City of Eugene will continue to evaluate land management policies and <br /> procedures to ensure compliance with the ESA pertaining to salmon habitat. No change to <br /> the Policy and Procedures Regulating Vehicle Parking Off Improved Surfaces in Parks (the <br /> "Policy and Procedures") is being made as a result of this comment. <br /> Comment 2: The Friends of Rasor Park aze concerned about the vague language <br /> relating to the City Manager's discretion to set fees for parking on pazk lands, and support <br /> language to allow the City to maximize the revenues received from such pazking. <br /> Findings: I concur with this recommendation. The policy should allow the City <br /> Manager discretion to set fees based on the outcome providing the greatest public benefit. <br /> Such flexibility will allow the fees to be based on the type of event and the level of potential <br /> impacts to pazk resources. Section 3.6 of the Policy and Procedures was therefore being <br /> amended to indicate that there will be no maximum limit to the amount chazged for parking <br /> off improved surfaces. <br /> Comment 3: The Friends of Rasor Pazk recommend that the City phase out pazking <br /> on unimproved surfaces within 2 to 3 yeazs. <br /> Findings: Again, the intent of the policy to allow vehicle parking off improved <br /> surfaces in pazks is to minimize the construction of paved parking areas that aze necessary <br /> only for limited duration special events. The City feels strongly that the type of special <br /> events utilizing this policy, including such events as the Maude Kerns Art and the Vineyazd <br /> Festival, the Obon Festival, and Cuthbert Amphitheater performances, aze of a very high <br /> value to the community. The City will continue to monitor the impacts of this policy on park <br /> resources and to make any necessary adjustments. No change to the Policy and Procedures <br /> is being made as a result of this comment. <br /> Comment 4: The Friends of Rasor Pazk request that the City strengthen the <br /> monitoring and enforcement of requirements for pazking on unimproved surfaces. <br /> indin s: The City feels that new measures put into place will strengthen the <br /> monitoring and enforcement of requirements. The City will annually evaluate the success <br /> of monitoring and any necessary enforcement activities and modify as necessary. No change <br /> to the Policy and Procedures is being made as a result of this comment. <br /> Comment 5: The Friends of Rasor Pazk suggest that the City dedicate at least a <br /> portion of revenues from such parking for monitoring, enforcement and restoration. <br /> Findings: The City intends to dedicate all funds from such parking to a special <br /> revenue fund to support priority park maintenance and development projects at Alton Baker <br /> Pazk. No change to the Policy and Procedures is being made as a result of this comment. <br /> Administrative Order - 2 <br /> <br /> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\01 ParkingOf.2ao.wpd <br /> <br />
