The Riverfront Research Park Issues
Student input questioned
By Darin Honey
Of (b» Kmerald
Although the Riverfront Research Park is nearing its final plan
ning stages. ASUO President Steve Nelson believes University
students have not had enough input in the decision-making
process.
Nelson criticized the project's administrators for not involving
students because students are not represented on three Riverfront
Research Park committees.
Two of the committees, the Design Advisory Committee and
the Research Advisory Committee, were appointed by University
President Paul Olum. The third committee, the Riverfront Research
Park Commission, advises Olum and the Eugene City Council.
Another factor contributing to the lack of student input was the
disbanding of the Riverfront Research Park Student Review Com
mittee, a subcommittee of the Campus Planning Committee.
Nelson said. It was disbanded because "theoretically, our work
was done." he said.
This was a much-needed committee. Nelson said. Not only did
it give students greater input, it put vital information right in front
of the student government so it always knew of current
developments, he said. Without a student committee, the ASUO
has to work much harder, he added.
Hut Rosemary Pryor of the Eugene Development Department
said there have been a number of opportunities for local citizens
and University students alike to voice their opinions When
something gets as much attention as the Riverfront Research Park,
the city needs to be more assertive in order to get some quality feed
back, she said.
Pryor urged students go get involved so all concerns can be
aired.
In April and May alone, five public hearings or forums have
lawn scheduled. This is a chance for students to say what they
think aland the issues, Pryor said.
Nelson is critical of such fonims. however, saying he doesn’t
believe they are effective. He believes project representatives don’t
take student or public input seriously, he said.
Pryor said that's not the case. Public input has been seriously
considered from the start of the project, she said.
At the first forum, the (Parley Group (the developer) and the ar
chitect (Kl-S/Klbasani and U>gan of Berkeley, Calif.) came with
blank paper to develop plans. Pryor said, issues raised concerned
the general design, transiaulation and recreation, she said.
Ihscussion from the meeting was transcribed and sent to ELS,
which then developed four plans for the park, Pryor said. On April
16, ELS returned to Eugene for the second forum to present the
plans, and as Pryor put it. to further refine discussion from the first
forum.
A very small number of students have attended the meetings so
far. Pryor said. Most recently, no more than a dozen students at
tended the April 16 forum that attracted mure than 250 citizens, she
said.
Both University advisory committees meet on campus, and the
Riverfront Research Park Commission alternates its meeting place
between the Eugene Permit and Information Center downtown and
the EMU, she added.
Aside from the tack of student input, the ASUO opposes the
research park for two reasons: the student government disagrees
with the proposed site and opposes the idea of classified research at
the park.
The ASUO says the riverfront is the wrong place to build a
research park. Nelson questions whether an alternate site was pro
perly sought and whether the site will work.
He said the playing fields located north of the railroad tracks
are of secondary importance to the ASUO.
Even though the University has agreed to ban weapons
research and research harmful to human life, the ASUO isn't happy
with a provision that allows for non-weapons-related classified
research. The ASUO argues that if any classified research is allow
ed. weapons research still could take place because no one will
know exactly what is being researched.
To Nelson's chagrin, Pryor said she expects the project to go
through, and Nelson conceded "there's not any way it can be
stopped."
The University's involvement in the Riverfront
Research Park project has continuously raised con
cerns from students, faculty and local citizens. As the
planning of the park progresses, the pros and the cons
of its construction are discussed with increasing vigor.
Park could provide student jobs
and revive lagging local economy
By Rosanne Roberts
Of the Emerald
More jobs and internships might
become available to University
students if the Riverfront Research
Park is developed.
"To provide additional financial
opportunities for the University of
Oregon, its faculty and students,
and for the community" is one of
the park's top goals, according to
the Riverfront Commission, which
oversees the park's planning.
Because the park is still in its
planning stages, it's uncertain what
specific businesses it will attract.
Hut the commission hopes to in
clude tenants engaged in activities
such as industrial research and
development, data processing and
computer software development, as
well as firms providing business,
educational and governmental
research and consulting services.
"Pieces of the Riverfront project
should be developed and ready to
begin occupancy in about a year and
a half," said Larry Smith, head of
the Career Planning and Placement
Office at the University. Smith is
also a member of the Research Ad
visory Committee.
The immediate impact of employ
ment is uncertain, but "within the
first three months they’ll probably
begin doing some hiring," Smith
said.
Smith added that most companies
participating in the park will pro
bably have existing organizations
and businesses elsewhere.
"We’re interested in this project
because it takes advantage of educa
tional workers,” said Cathy Briner
from the Eugene Development
Department. "The park will diver
sify this area’s job employment with
quality jobs, no minimum wage
jobs."
However, one of the advantages
for businesses that move into the
Riverfront Research Park is the
"concentration of young, bright
people that don’t cost much,” said
David Povey, a planning, public
policy and management professoral
the University and a member of the
Riverfront Design Advisory
Committee.
Povey and some graduate students
from the PPPM department have
surveyed firms located in currently
operating research parks. According
to their survey, university programs
rank-ordered by importance to the
companies were: engineering, com
puter science, graduate science,
business, medical,
biology/microbiology, law and
liberal arts.
"It’s not only sciences, but those
with writing skills that the
businesses will probably employ,”
Povey said.
JeffTehnel, president of Dynamic
Inc., a software company presently
located at Valley River Center, said
he would move to the Riverfront
Research Park because it would be a
nicer environment and would foster
better relations with the University's
computer science department.
Tehnel currently has two Univer
sity students working for him. but
would probably hire more if the
company were located at the park,
"because they'd be easier to get hold
of.
Nancy Willard, president of
Eugene Software Council, agrees
with Tehnel, but she is hesitant
about the park itself. “There's too
much emphasis on building and not
on the technology transfer itself."
Willard said. "What's primary to
work on is the technology transfer
between the University and the
community."
According to Battelle. a con
sulting firm for the Riverfront pro
tect. the park, "may make a major
contribution to sustaining, diversi
fying. and in some respects
revitalizing the economy of Eugene,
and most, if not all of lane Qjunty."
Park's location brings environmental concerns
By Karen Irmsher
Of thff Kmer«ld
John Baldwin, director of the
Environmental Studies Center
at the University, said plans to
build the proposed Riverfront
Research Hark raise a number of
environmental concerns,
Baldwin makes it clear that
while he is not an opponent of
the park, these issues must be
adequately addressed before
development of the site begins.
The proposed park, in the
research and planning stages
since fall 1985, would bo
located on a 71-acre site adja
cent to the University campus
between Franklin Boulevard
and the Willamette River.
While primarily a joint pro
ject of the University and the ci
ty of Eugene, it would use land
owned by the State Board of
Higher Education. As envision
ed. it would include one
million square feet of develop
ment and an estimated .1.300
tenants engaging in activities
such as industrial research and
development, data processing
and computer software
development.
Other firms would provide
business, educational, and
governmental research and con
sulting services.
Thus far. most of the vocal ob
jections to the park have been
based on the issues of classified
research, loss of the University
soccer field and failure to comp
ly with land-use planning
“This site isn't
any different from
the rest of Eugene. It
will be subject to the
same conditions that
other areas are. ”
— Pat Decker,
Eugene city planner
codes. While they have not
always been identified as such,
these can be viewed as en
vironmental issues.
Baldwin sees the following
laundry list of concerns as
necessary considerations for
safeguarding the environment.
• Protecting the air. ground
water and river-water quality.
Since the park will be directly
on the south bank of the river,
any release of toxic materials
will immediately enter the
river's ecosystem. "We are lear
ning that silicon chip-type in
dustries are not as clean as we
once thought.'' he said.
• Maintaining solar access
and a natural environment on
the bike path University
geography professor Al Ur
(|uhart has been to the courts
numerous limes in the last cou
ple of years over this, says
Baldwin.
• laiss of open space and
recreational fields. The ques
tion is whether the loss of these
fields would adversely affect
the University's educational
environment.
• Transportation access. How
will the increased traffic flow
ing in and out of the park affect
the surrounding area?
• Foot traffic. Crossing a
high speed arterial such as
Franklin boulevard can be
hazardous. Pedestrian access
over, or under Franklin would
be necessary for safuty he says.
Harbara Kelley, director of
Oregonians Protecting Our
Water, raises three other con
cerns She said the park
guidelines have not forbidden
(private or non-governmental)
research. She is worried that
some chemical company, for in
stance. might be doing secret
research involving toxic
chemicals or new strains of
bacteria, and release the toxins
into tho groundwater or river.
“If it's classified or pro
prietary. how do you know?"
she asked.
Her second concern is that the
city is trying to amend the
Greenway ordinance. “There
shouldn't be any development
there," she said.
Thirdly, she says the propos
ed park is within the 100-year
flood plain. A major flood oc
curs in Kugene approximately
once every 100 years. Such a
flood could rise into areas of the
park used for nuclear or
chemical research, for instance,
and spread toxins into the
groundwater, land and river,
she says.
Kelley thinks developers
should build the park
somewhere else.
Many of these issues have
already b««n studied and
debated In great length I’at
Decker, a senior planner fur the
cily of Eugene. says on
vironmental concerns over t h«;
fiark's development have been
laktm into account during every
stop of the planning process,
and will continuo to bn con
sidered as they arise.
"One of the benefits of lots of
public involvement is that it
will raise concerns we (the city)
wouldn't think of." she said.
About toxic emissions into
the environment, Decker said
"this situ isn't any different
from the rest of Eugene. It will
bn subject to the same condi
tions that other areas am."
She cites the iiertelson
Slough ama. in wust Eugene, as
being similar to a wetlands area,
and it has industrial zoning
Access to the bikepath has
been assured by adopting "set
backs" — the distance that must
be maintained from the river
bank and bikepath to
developments. The most recent
city pro|M>sal. adopted liy the ci
ty April 20, states dial "ail
structures, parking areas,
streets, and access drives shall
maintain a minimum setback of
35 feet from the top of the south
tiank of the Willamette River.”
and 15 feet from the hikepath.
Set I Mi ks of at least 50 feet am
designated on either side of the
path between the Aut/.en
Stadium footbridge and the
underpass beneath the railroad
tracks.
Also, no structure within 75
foot of tho rivor may exceed
three stories, or 45 foot in
height.
Decker says people have a
misperception aiNiut tho Green*
way. Soino people think that
developments of any kind are
forbidden along tho Willamette
Kivor Greenway. but that's not
tho case she says. It's just that
hearings officials must docide
whether planned developments
are appropriate.
Parking and traffic flows are
being carefully considered in
the planning. Decker says.
Also, the city proposes "to pro
vide for the protection and
enhancement of the natural
vegetative fringe along the
Willamette River."
On May ti. University Presi
dent Paul Olum will host a
public forum to discuss the
political, philosophical and
moral issues concerning tho
pro|H>sod Riverfront Research
Park. It will take place at 7:30
p in. in the EMU Ballroom All
interested people are invited to
attend.
