Comments and Responses, September 26, 2000 Public Hearing in Eugene <br />T1.7-Because the new federal <br />courthouse for the <br />Eugene/Springfield area has not <br />yet been designed, detailed <br />information cannot be presented <br />in the photo simulations shown in <br />the EIS. The photo simulations <br />are intended to convey a general <br />sense of the appearance of a large <br />structure the size of the proposed <br />courthouse at each of the <br />alternative sites. At this time, it is <br />not possible to provide a greater <br />level of architectural detail. <br />T1.8-The proposed federal <br />courthouse would be situated to <br />conform with the zoning <br />requirements for the chosen site. <br />Additionally, the site alternatives <br />that are located within a <br />floodplain zone (Alternatives 3 <br />and 4) have been eliminated from <br />further consideration. All of the <br />potential building footprints <br />shown in the draft EIS place the <br />structure more than 60 feet from <br />any river. <br />T2. James Torrey, Mayor, <br />Eugene, Oregon <br />T2.1-Three sites in Eugene were <br />considered in the draft EIS as <br />potential locations for the <br />proposed federal courthouse and <br />the Chiquita (formerly Agripac) <br />site in Eugene has been selected <br />as their preferred alternative. <br />Tronscetpt 1 <br />T1.6 f 1 helpful. And LhaL soda nay comiwnta. .Thanks. <br />cond. <br />2 NR. LEYINE: I'd ,lust like to point out and thank you <br />3 for your comaenta. The frontal aiHUlatlona is just a <br />4 simulation. It's not the nCtuat bulltlin9• That hasn't even <br />5 been tlssignod yet. This was just a composite ,lust so rre'd have <br />0 something to show. <br />7 So Sf anyone misinterpreted that that's what the <br />8 building is going to look like, LnaL'6 not Lha Caaa. <br />T1.7 4 NR. BIGGS: I Ouaas I was looking for photo <br />10 simulations that would give roe a sense of it being a landmark <br />11 building, easing it from coming into the city and hors it would <br />iz play tent war. <br />T1.8 113 Another concern that I have that I faf led to <br />14 mention was the setback from the Millanatta River. I hooa that <br />16 it could be increased from 34 feat to 64 feet. Thank you. <br />ld NR. NEERSCNEIDT: ThanK yOU. Nayor Jim Torrey. <br />T~•1 17 NR. TORREY: Jim T-o-R-R-E-Y.
