Fairmount neighbors, UO
resolve to work out issues
■ Concerns about sprawl
prompt a review of the area’s
growth management plan
By Marty Toohey
Oregon Daily Emerald
The University’s east campus
neighbors have expressed concern
recently about a new childcare cen
ter’s location, while the University
has pledged to work with its neigh
bors before developing more of its
100-plus single-family houses in
the area.
Several people in the Fairmount
Neighborhood Association said the
University’s new childcare center,
sited for 17th Avenue and Colum
bia Street directly east of campus,
violates a 20-year-old growth man
agement plan both sides recently
agreed is still valid.
Members complain that a child
care center will significantly alter
the neighborhood and could create
traffic congestion. Members point
to an agreement that gives them
consultation power.
“(The agreement) is our format,”
said association member Christina
Bradshaw, who helped create the
agreement. “This is what we use to
determine our future.”
Jan Oliver, a University associate
vice president, said the University
has always worked with the neigh
borhood, and would “continue to
work with them as partners.”
The University, the neighbor
hood association and the city of Eu
gene created the plan 20 years ago.
It lays down guidelines for Univer
sity growth. Among other things, it
says that the University should pro
vide notice of planned projects at
neighborhood association meet
ings, and that the University should
develop properties closer to cam
pus before ones farther away.
University Planning Director
Chris Ramey said he would meet
with the association at one of its
public meetings to discuss the
childcare center and any new con
struction projects. He would not
say’if there was any circumstance
East campus development proposal
The University and the Fairmount Neighborhood Association are currently
examining the proposed location for a new childcare facility on the corner
of 17th Avenue and Columbia Street
Russell Weller Emerald
or argument the association could
present that would change the cen
ter’s location.
“We won’t know anything
more until we meet with them,”
Ramey said.
Ramey also said that the Univer
sity would present future construc
tion plans for the east campus area
at neighborhood association meet
ings before finalizing plans!
With University enrollment ex
pected to reach 20,000 soon and
many housing facilities becoming
outdated, many members of the
neighborhood association are con
cerned about University expansion
and want to limit the “University
sprawl,” according to former neigh
borhood association president and
board member Jeff Osanka.
The University would like to
consider updating the agreement,
and work could soon begin in
earnest.
Ramey said “the problem is that
the plan has not been reviewed in
20 years.”
Both sides have pledged to co
operate in determining how the
University will develop its prop
erty. Neither side is legally bound
to fpllow the other’s recommenda
tions, however.
The neighborhood association’s
governing board would have to
ratify proposals from the Univer
sity, and could reject University
recommendations. The Universi
ty could also go before the city
planning commission and pro
pose new construction without
neighborhood consent.
