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

exhibition will kick off the

Bookstore selects two new members
The University Bookstore
board of directors approved two
board position replacements
Friday
The board unanimously ap
proved Willis Winter, a jour
nalism professor, to succeed
faculty representative Muriel
Jackson and Peter Loop, a
first-year MBA student, to fill
Bobbie Weidner’s graduate
representative position
The appointment of Winter
will be a positive addition
because he has impressive
credentials and is ' respected
by the faculty," Bookstore pre

of an expert in the field of ad
vertising," said Fred Wilhelm, a
member of the selection com
mittee.

meeting will be Oct. 19.
