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. l-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 />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 corner-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 - Jeffersonstreet 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(21Sa~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 9.2(s0(2Z(aZ 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.
