and adequate sight distance
are signifi cant issues in the
current application because
of public safety concerns. Lot
70 is outside the jurisdiction
of this matter and condition-
ing approval of the application
on the applicant’s ability to ac-
quire Lot 70 is too speculative
to be a condition of approval.”
Domas pointed out sug-
gested alternatives didn’t solve
the problem.
“The applicant has put
forth three possible alterna-
tives for the alignment of Trent
Avenue North with Burbank
Street,” she wrote. “While each
of the scenarios has validity,
the intersection is still angu-
lar and poses sight distance
issues-public safety issues. The
city’s engineer expressed pub-
lic safety concerns regarding all
three scenarios. Based on the
information provided in the
application and at hearing, this
provision is not satisfi ed.”
On a related note, the crite-
ria for intersection angles was
also not met.
“It does not appear that
any of the proposals put forth
by the applicant will meet this

criteria,” Domas wrote. “Staff
reported that the original ex-
tension of Trent Avenue to
Burbank Street did not con-
form to this criteria. The ap-
plicant presented two new al-
ternatives at hearing. However,
insuffi cient information was
provided to be able to deter-
mine if the proposals were fea-
sible and met the criteria. The
city’s traffi c engineer indicated
that he did not believe that ei-
ther of the two new proposals
would satisfy the Keizer De-
velopment Code.”
Another issue was with the
existing streets criteria.
“Public Works commented
that the original proposed
alignment of the Trent Av-
enue at the west side of the
Trent Avenue/Burbank Street
intersection did not meet
city standards,” Domas wrote.
“At the hearing, the applicant
submitted Exhibit 15 (which)
contained two new alternatives
to the alignment issue at the
Trent Avenue/Burbank Street
intersection in order to address
the concerns raised by Pub-
lic Works. The city’s engineer
commented that he did not
feel that either of the two new
proposed alignments at this
intersection would meet the
criteria. This is a safety issue.
The applicant’s traffi c impact
analysis is silent with regard to
the proposed subdivision street
design. The applicant has not
demonstrated that any of the
proposed alignments satisfy the
criteria in this section.”
Domas also wrote the cul-
de-sac and frontage improve-
ment criterias were not satis-
fi ed, leading to her fi nal verdict.
“It is hereby found that ap-
plicant has not met the burden
of proving the applicable stan-
dards and criteria for approval
of the subdivision,” Domas
wrote. “The application is de-
nied.”
“That’s been really inter-
esting because now I have to
take each individual piece and
try to see where it fi ts into the
whole,” she said. “And there’s
always one of the multicolored
pompoms that catches my eye
and sets me off in a whole new
direction.”
Despite having grown up in
the area, Miller said she never
really felt connected to the ar-
ea’s art scene beyond McNary’s
walls. The chance to work with
TEDx coordinators, however,
has opened many doors.
“This has opened up the

I was shocked by the num-
ber of trucks on cross streets.
Not only is I-5 smoother, but
it will still move as well. That
makes Oregon a much more
competitive state for trade.
Oregon is the seventh biggest
state for trade. It’s so impor-
tant.”
While there has been off-
and-on conversation about
wider art community in this
area for me. I’ve made a lot
of great contacts with people
who helped me fi nd the space
to work,” Miller said.
She fi nally settled in a mid-
sized log cabin building in the
rear of St. Timothy’s Episcopal
Church in Salem, which pro-
vides her plenty of space and
all-hours access.
The one thing she didn’t
account for was recent heat
waves.
“I had my whole plan and
everything was going fi ne,
then I started hearing pieces
melting off as the temperatures
outside went up,” she said.
Weather aside, the project
has taken her on paths she nev-
er envisioned.
“Working
three-dimen-
sionally is something I’m still
new to, and I have to think
in the round all the time with
this. The challenge is making
it as immersive as I want it to
be for the speakers. I want it to
feel interactive and like some-
thing they are walking among,”
Miller said.
Miller will be one of those
speakers as well. She’ll get to
show off her work and talk
about just how deep her inspi-
ration went.
“Another motive is the re-
lationship between media and
nature. A lot of our culture
is derived from the sky and I
want to tie that into our mod-
ern lives with things like the
technology ‘cloud,’” she said.

needs in Keizer, there has been
plenty of talk about a third
bridge in Salem.
Schrader was also im-
pressed with the process used
in Woodburn, where the proj-
ect has been worked on since
the 1980s.
“The project was done a
year early and close to on bud-
get with the state kicking in a
bunch of money and Wood-
burn putting in a bunch of
money,” Schrader said. “This
is the way to sell it back east,
that the feds are putting in less
money. It’s a good statement
about good use of state dol-
lars. (State) Sen. Peter Court-
ney was there and said you
won’t have the feds spending
80 percent of the money for
this type of project anymore.”
The Woodburn project in-
cludes new loop ramps, rebuilt
on- and off-ramps, a new and
wider bridge over I-5, added
lanes on the side roads, a new
transit facility, new sidewalks
and bicycle lanes, plus numer-
ous aesthetic enhancements.
