s <br /> No additional parking is proposed in the park. In,fact, one of the existing parking spaces is <br /> planned for removal to accommodate the pergola entrance. <br /> Due to deteriorating conditions, the existing structure, that has been used for community <br /> meeting space and maintenance operations, has been closed and is planned for demolition in <br /> the summer of 1997. Plans are to replace it in the future when funding becomes available <br /> with a similar 1-story community building in the same location. The existing structure is <br /> approximately 4,000 square feet in area, including the attached garage. The future <br /> community building is expected to be approximately 3,000 square feet in area, and will <br /> require no more parking than the 59 spaces existing on site at this time. The structure will <br /> <br /> use natural materials and colors to be compatible with the surrounding residential character. <br /> The maintenance operations will be housed in a small, 792 square foot building in the <br /> southwest comer of the site. The structure will have metal siding and roofing, and future <br /> plans may include covered bay extensions on either end of the building. It will be located in <br /> an existing graveled area that is already fenced off from the rest of the site and has been used <br /> for maintenance storage. Evergreen vegetation will be planted along the southern border to <br /> provide screening for the residential uses to the south. <br /> The proposed fountain, pool, gazebo, pergola, sculpture locations, trellis extensions, rose bed <br /> and walk additions, and additional plantings are normal park amenities that will enhance the <br /> appearance of the park. <br /> The rose garden is bordered by the Washington -Jefferson street bridge on the east, the <br /> Willamette River on the north, School District 4-J's administrative and maintenance facility <br /> on the west, and residential dwellings to the south. In addition to the proposed screening to <br /> be added on the south side of the site, additional screening with roses on a trellis structure is <br /> proposed for the western property line. <br /> Given all of the above, it can be said that the site.plan revisions will result in insignificant <br /> changes in the outward appearance of the development and impact on the surrounding <br /> properties. <br /> Section 9.722(2)~a~3: The site will remain consistent with applicable permit <br /> criteria. <br /> The hearings official's findings approving cu 84-23 cited the following criteria in Italic font <br /> from the Eugene Code that are pertinent to the Willamette River Greenway: <br /> Section 9.260(2l(a): The intensification, change in use, and development will provide <br /> for maximum possible landscaped area, open space, and vegetation between the <br /> activity and the river. <br /> OWEN ROSE GARDEN (MD 97-6) (CU 8423) <br /> Page 6 <br /> <br />
