Commission grants go ahead for B&B inn By David Brown Of the Emerald The Eugene Planning Com mission last week upheld the controversial establishment of a second bed-and-breakfast house in the South University Neighborhood In August, the commission had granted a special permit, allowing Gena Hutton to estab lish the home-style inn at her residence on 1291 E. 22nd Ave Despite neighborhood oppo sition, the commission found the "conditional use permit" to be in accordance with zoning laws and neighborhood stan dards, says Teresa Bishow, commission staff member The South University Neighborhood Association and area residents argued that a bed-and-breakfast inn was a commercial, not residential Hunger tops agenda for Tuesday forum, dinner Local and national hunger is the topic of an open forum and soup dinner Tuesday evening in observation of National Food Day While National Food Day officially falls on Oct 6 — the birthday of the United Na tions Agriculture Committee — organizers felt that fewer people would participate in a weekend forum The event will try to show people that they can help stop hunger, says Cynthia Kokis of Clergy and Laity Concerned, a group con cerned with the hunger problem. "It doesn't matter what you do. so long as you do something to help,'' she says The forum will begin at the First Methodist Church at 14fh Ave and Olive St at 5 30 p m with a 39-cent soup dinner. The dinner's price equals the amount a person receives per meal tor food stamps. Kokis says A forum of speakers, in cluding Rep Jim Weaver and r Rev Austin Ray of the Black United Front, will follow the dinner Weaver will break the hunger issue down to local, national and international levels and discuss possible solutions to each, says a Weaver staff member Ray says hunger in the world is deliberate and is used as a means of social control Manuel Pacheco, director of the University's high school equivalency program will speak on how hunger affects Chicanos A labor representative, Emily Johnson, and a private citizen on direct government support. Mica Gonzales, also will speak 1 he presentations will last five to seven minutes. Speakers then will discuss their views among each other and accept questions from the floor Tables and displays set up in the church will be hosted by such organizations as Fish and Bread for the World facility Hutton argues that "a bed and breakfast needs the atmos phere of a really warm neigh borhood to create hospitality” for somebody coming into the community The commission's original report in August supported Hutton, stating the definition of a hotel or motel is unclear and does not specify bed-and breakfast houses Using that definition, the commission granted a condi tional use permit A bed-and-breakfast inn is less threatening to the neigh borhood than two-family hous ing units permitted under exist ing zoning laws, writes Hearing Official James Spickerman in his original approval of the per mit The proposed facility meets requirements restricting the number of guests to one family or two couples and allowing proprietorship to Hutton only. Spickerman writes And the proposal is "reasonably com patible" with neighborhood ap pearance standards, he writes But Spickerman "had no authority or jurisdiction" in granting the permit because the facility "fits directly within the definition of a boarding or rooming house in Eugene Code states an appeal filed by attorney Michael Farth ing, who is representing Dr. Arthur A Hockey, Hutton's next door neighbor "It must be presumed that the residential districts are to be limited to relatively permanent residences of the citizens, un less specifically provided for otherwise " Farthing said Area residents joined with more documented appeals I have been informed by a real estate broker that not only will values drop, but that it will be more difficult to sell a home in the block,'' writes one neighbor “I do not mind having a neigh bor so close: I do mind that a stranger, and a different stranger every night, could rent a bedroom 50 feet away from ours and look directly into our bedroom and into our house,'* writes another Spickerman had ruled "it does not seem unreasonable to assume that the owner/opera tor of this house will take some care in choosing her guests " Hockey says he may take the case to the state Land Use Board of Appeals Hutton does not plan to operate the bed-and-breakfast inn until litigation is concluded Chinese festivities start today A Chinese cultural pamphlet exhibition will kick off the Chinese Cultural Week today The cultural week's festivities, which are sponsored by the Chinese Student Union and the Chinese Culture Service, will run through Thursday Today's exhibition features pamphlets on all phases of Chinese culture, including Hong Kong tourism pamphlets The display is located in the EMU lobby from 10 a m to 2 p.m. At 7 p m in EMU rooms 108-109, George Lin will speak on the traditional Chinese mu sical instrument A documentary film on Chin ese and Asian palaces will be shown Tuesday at 7 p.m, in 221 Allen.
