Th e study, released in its draft form late last week, details the potential hous- ing needs for the city in the future and potential solutions. Th e 77-page report details in the conclusions and rec- ommendations section that the city may have the chance to work with South Lane School District, “on redevel- opment of two sites that the school district is consider- ing identifying as surplus to the district’s needs.” Th e report also suggests that the city examine rezon- ing existing medium den- sity land and vacant high density land located near the edges of the city to al- low multi-family housing development in commercial areas. Th e current housing shortage in the city mirrors that of nearby municipal- ities and cities around the nation as housing inventory drops and rents soar.

Th e housing analysis re- port predicts that Cottage Grove will grow from 10,740 people to 13,981 residents by 2038 and, due to the in- crease, will need 1,379 new dwelling units over the next 20 years. “Th e factors driving the shift in types of housing needed in Cottage Grove include changes in demo- graphics and decreases in housing and aff ordability. Th e aging baby boomers and the household forma- tion of millennials will drive demand for renter and own- er-occupied housing…,” the report reads. Approximately 75 percent of Cottage Grove’s housing was single-family detached ing will be single-family de- tached as well. It also notes that 47 percent of the city’s households have “aff ord- ability problems” including a cost burden rate — paying more than 30 percent of in- come for housing — of 65 percent for renters. “Without diversifi cation of housing types, lack of af- fordability will continue to be a problem, possibly growing in the future if incomes continue to grow at a slower rate than hous- ing costs,” the report reads. “Under the current condi- tions, 634 of the forecast for new households will have incomes of $35,400 or less. Th ese households cannot aff ord market rate housing without govern- ment subsidy.” Th e report suggested that Cottage Grove collaborate with aff ordable housing providers and develop a tax abatement program to pro- mote aff ordable housing.

I studied radio at Lane Community College in the 1970s, graduating with a degree in both radio broadcasting and television design. I subsequently moved my studies to the University of Oregon, graduating with a B.S. in Communications. I worked my way through school, fi rst in the plywood plant at the Cottage Grove Weyerhaeuser mill, and later while working in radio. I took classes as I could aff ord them. It was a slow process. I graduated from the UO at the ripe old age of 39. While working at the mill, I had the good fortune to meet Don Work who had a popular Saturday Oldies request show on KNND. He asked me to help him pull records for his show. Th at experience hooked me on radio and I changed my LCC major from Business to Radio Broadcasting and began interning at KNND in late-1971. In six months, I joined the KNND team as a full-time employee working 36 hours a week on the air and other assignments (that’s code for cleaning the bathroom and hauling out trash!). I eventually worked in all capacities: air talent, production, music director, program director. By 1973, I was also working at KEED in Eugene on the weekends. I don’t recall having a day off from radio for a couple of years. I left KNND in 1976 and worked my way into a full-time position at Keed where I had a terrifi c run on the air and as music director. While I was still at KNND, I assisted Keed in developing a new record library when they changed their music format from Top-40 to County. In return, KNND received all their old Top-40 record library! Old-timers will remember”K-double-E-D”! What a great radio station. Much of what I learned at Keed helped me as the KNND music director, program director, and mid-day air talent. And I was ecstatic to be able to add all the Keed oldies from the 1950s and ‘60s to our increasingly popular music rotation! It is that music that I play exclusively today: the music of the ‘50s and ‘60s, “the greatest musical era”, right here on KNND on Mondays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I hope you’ll join me. 321 Main Street Cottage Grove, OR 97424 Lobby Phone: 541.942.2468 Studio Line: 541.942.5548 Online requests: request@knnd.com Guess What I Am!
