In an abundance of caution, I am declaring a potential conflict of interest with regards to the Downtown Riverfront: The Planning Commission will consider a package of land use applications related to a proposed redevelopment of the Downtown Riverfront. My employer, the Eugene Chamber of commerce has expressed support for the proposed redevelopment. I am not aware of any financial benefit or detriment to the Chamber that could result from my actions or recommendations as a Planning Commissioner related to the Downtown Riverfront application package. However, in an abundance of caution and pursuant to ORS 244.120, Eugene Code sections 2.333 and 9.7065, and the bylaws of the Eugene Planning Commission, I am declaring a potential conflict of interest with respect to the proposed Downtown Riverfront package. It is possible that the redevelopment of the riverfront could bring new business to town, which could financially benefit the Chamber of Commerce. I understand that after declaring this potential conflict of interest, I may still participate in the deliberations and decision of the Planning Commission. I understand my responsibility in a quasi-judicial setting. I take it seriously that I need to remain unbiased during this process. I have the ability to set aside any personal views and to evaluate the Downtown Riverfront application package based solely on the evidence and argument in the record and the applicable approval criteria.

The work will prep the Eugene Water & Electric Board's former operations yard, now owned by the city, for construction next summer of the streets and utilities to serve a new neighborhood as well as the new riverfront community park. On Thursday, workers with Staton Cos, began tearing down the Midgley's Building at the corner of East Fourth Avenue and High Street. The building is the first of three Staton will tear down on the property before grading the area in anticipation of next year's construction. The city issued a demolition permit earlier this month. The Midgley's Building was the longtime home of the EWEB Child Development Center, soon to be Eugene Child Development Center, which operates a preschool and offers after-school and summer programs. The center moved to its new home on Goodpasture Island Road last June in anticipation of the building's demolition. "It was bittersweet," said Kerry Vill, the center's assistant director, who drove by the building as its demolition started. "We're glad to be in our new place, but it's sad to be out of that building." https:/Awwv.reg isterg uard.com/nem/20190428/downtown-riwrfront-property-comes-alive-with-demolition 1 /4 4/29/2019 F ~ • 0 1 !

The city said it will recycle and reuse as much from the buildings as possible. The demolition of the tire shop will allow contractors to begin the prep work for the three-acre riverfront park. They must move utility lines before workers can remove rip-rap, lessen the-slope of the riverbank and swap out nonnative vegetation with native plantings. Park construction will begin next summer. The city plans to close the section of the riverfront bike path that runs through the area in mid-June. Having two separate but related projects within close proximity to each other demands close coordination between city officials and their contractors, while also signaling to the public that two major projects are nearing construction. Eugene city officials have spent years working toward the goal of connecting downtown to the Willamette River. https://www.reg isterg uard.com/news/201904281downtown-ri\erfront-propertycomes-al iee-with-demolition 2/4 Downtown rKerfront property comes alieewith demolition- News -The Register-Guard - Eugene, OR 4/29/2019 Downtown rNerfront property comes alke with denrolition - News- The Reg ister-Guard - Eugene, OR "It's such a realization of a lot of people's expectations, hopes and dreams, and the timing of this is pretty amazing," said Emily Proudfoot, a city landscape architect who is managing the riverfront park project. The project will take a little of Eugene's history with it, although not to the level of the University of Oregon's decision to demolish Hayward Field to make way for a new state-of-the-art stadium, the.planned centerpiece of the 2021 world track and field championships. The stadium construction is ongoing. The State Historic Preservation Office has confirmed the bow-trussed building is eligible for listing with the National Register of Historic Places. The building was constructed in 1951 and was EWEB's first independent headquarters after it moved out of the old City Hall. The 49,000-square-foot building also served as a warehouse and operations area for the utility. Neither the Midgley's Building nor repair shop was deemed to carry historical significance. The state and city have reached an agreement to preserve the memory of the bow- trussed building. The city has agreed to document the building with records and photos before its demolition and install an interpretative kiosk after it's gone so visitors can learn of its history on site.

The neighborhood will feature at least, 215 apartments, 70 or so market-rate townhouses, a hotel with at least 125 rooms, a restaurant, retail space and an affordable housing complex with at least 75 units. In addition to the prep work, the city is working to form a local improvement district to finance construction of the streets and utilities and to amend Eugene's land-use code to reflect the differences in the coming development project from the vision laid out in a citizen-developed master plan that was adopted for the project. The city estimated it would spend $12 million in public money on the project, accounting for the land, streets, utilities and sidewalks. Williams/Dame estimated its private investment in excess of $100 million. The estimated cost of the riverfront park is $14 million. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . https:/AmAw.reg isterg uard,com/news/20190428/downtown-ri\,erfront-propertycomes-al ive-with-demolition 3/4 4/29/2019 Downtown rKertront property comes alNe with demolition- News- The Register-Guard - Eugene, OR Separately, the Eugene City Council agreed Wednesday to enter formal negotiations with a local development team that is proposing a $26 million construction project to renovate the old steam plan near the southern boundary of the neighborhood and park projects.

Fully establishing historic significance can be very costly and time consuming. Therefore initial evaluations are based on age (50 years or greater) and integrity (historic appearance), which are the minimum qualifications for listing in the National Register. Additional documentation may be needed further in the process, but typically initial evaluations allow the review process to proceed eveditiously. ❑ The property is considered Eligible at this time because it is already listed in the National Register or • is at least 50 years old and retains its historic integrity (minimal alterations to key features) • has potential significance architectural or historical The property is considered Not Eligible at this time because it: • is less than 50 years old or is 50 years or older but there have been major alterations to key features • is known to have no significance, based on National Register-level documentation and evaluation SECTION 3: APPLICANT DETERMINATION OF EFFECT - Check the appropriate box N The project has NO EFFECT on historic properties, either because there is no eligible property involved or because the . property will not be impacted physically or visually. ❑ The project will have a minor impact on a property that is eligible or already listed in the National Register, and therefore there is NO ADVERSE EFFECT. Minor impacts include replacement of some, but not all, siding, doors, or windows, etc. ❑ The project will have a major impact on a property that is eligible or already listed in the National Register, therefore there is an ADVERSE EFFECT.

TBG Architects + Planners, the architectural and planning firm, I work for is part of the team representing the applicant on the Downtown Riverfront tentative subdivision application (ST 19-03). The tentative subdivision application is part of the package of Downtown Riverfront land use applications that will be considered by the Planning Commission. Therefore, pursuant to ORS 244.120, Eugene Code sections 2333 and 9.7065, and•the bylaws of the Eugene Planning Commission; I am declaring an actual conflict of interest with respect to the Downtown Riverfront tentative subdivision application (ST 19-03), and I will not participate in any discussion or decisions by the Planning Commission regarding the Downtown Riverfront application package. Thanks, Kristen Taylor
