Chase Gardens Nodal Development Plan Page 13 <br />Final Report - June 29, 2001 <br />Ownership <br />The largest aggregation of multiple properties under single ownership is land owned by Simpson <br />Housing Ltd., which owns and manages Chase Gardens, Chase Village, and the vacant “Chase III” <br />property. Gordon and Linda Wylie own four of the commercial-designated tax lots east of the <br />existing Garden Way alignment. Other vacant and underdeveloped properties are individually <br />owned by various land owners, including the City of Eugene. Ownership patterns are depicted on <br />Map A6. <br /> <br />Relationship to Surrounding Area <br />The largest attractions in the area are University of <br />Oregon intercollegiate athletic facilities located west of <br />the study area, on the south side of Centennial <br />Boulevard, including Autzen Stadium, Moshofsky <br />Center, Casanova Center, and two soccer fields. Also in <br />this location are WISTEC (Willamette Institute of <br />Science and Technology Education Center), and the <br />Lane Education Service District Planetarium. On the <br />north side of Centennial Boulevard to the west are the <br />John Serbu Juvenile Justice Center and Lane County <br />Mental Health facility, the Boy Scouts of America <br />office. The Harlow Neighbors, a City- sanctioned <br />Neighborhood organization, serves the study area. Autzen Stadium <br />South of the study area is the single-family residential Chevy Chase neighborhood, which has <br />vehicular access only from Centennial Boulevard (at Chevy Chase Street and Lindley Lane), due to <br />the physical boundary of Alton Baker Park and the Willamette River to the south. North of the <br />study area is a residential neighborhood dating to the 1950s which includes a privately owned day <br />care center, Unity School, and Garden Way Church. <br />The closest convenience shopping areas are Centennial Center, a neighborhood commercial <br />development located one mile to the east along Centennial Boulevard in Springfield (which lacks a <br />grocery store), and the commercial services in and around Oakway Center, including an Albertson’s <br />supermarket, located 1.5 miles northwest on Coburg Road. Gateway Mall, a regional shopping <br />center and movie complex, is 1.5 miles to the northeast off Harlow Road. <br />Infrastructure and Public Utilities <br />Stormwater is accommodated by the Q Street Channel and a series of city storm sewer systems <br />running along the public rights of way for Commons Drive, Kinsrow Avenue, and Centennial <br />Boulevard. <br />The study area contains a complete sanitary sewer system as well as water and power provided by <br />EWEB. Natural gas connections are currently available in some parts of the study area through <br />Northwest Natural, and can be made available to all units if requested. Sanitary sewer lines will be <br />extended along Garden Way with the planned street improvements. Existing utilities are shown on <br />Map A7. A more detailed analysis of infrastructure phasing, funding, and plan implementation is <br />contained in Appendix E. <br />Public Facilities and Services <br />City police and fire/EMS emergency services are provided within the developed portions of the <br />study area (areas within City limits). <br />The project area is within walking and biking distance to Alton Baker Park, a 437-acre metropolitan <br />park located less than half a mile south of the study area along the banks of the Willamette River. <br />The Garden Way bicycle path provides convenient and direct access to the park.
