MARK C ON L E Y <br />1958 Fircrest Dr <br />Eugene Oregon 97403 <br />Oct. 15, 2013 <br />Becky Taylor, Associate Planner <br />Eugene Planning & Development <br />99 W. 1 0a' Ave. <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />RE: Oakleigh Meadow Co-housing Development <br />DISCLAIMER <br />Document 2 of 6 <br />Dear Ms. Taylor: <br />I just became acquainted with this project a little over a week ago, with the Oct. 9 deadline for submission <br />of evidence the very same day. I have Major Depressive Disorder and the plant list I undertook required <br />Herculean effort on my part. Luckily I have a remnant spark in plants and had a LOT of coffee, and my <br />mood happened to be favorable in that window of time. <br />I feel as if I am doing everything in knee -j erk reaction fashion. I am forced into a reactive rather than <br />proactive mode. If I had full mental health, this would be okay. But the pressure is being levied against <br />me in my faulty state. <br />What I am asking for, in short, is a little bit of accommodation. My site visit on Oct. 9 led to revelations <br />of other necessary studies that I did not have the time and mental energy to lay out before that deadline, <br />and so I let you know in my Oct. 9 submission that I would submit further information before the Oct. 16 <br />submission deadline. Please accept my input accordingly. <br />Though my documents may seem cogent and skilled, please be aware there is a huge incapacity, trauma, <br />and mental blockade behind it all. The process is overwhelming and I cannot operate at this capacity. <br />I don't want pe6ple to feel put-off in that I am getting special treatment, or asking for flex they may not <br />be given. We should all receive equal consideration. But please be aware that some of us found out <br />awfully late, without full disclosure of information (some of which I had to retrieve myself by a plant <br />inventory), and some, as me, lack mental processes that would otherwise render the established deadlines <br />as reasonable. <br />Thank you - I assume - for being considerate of my, and others', challenges and calibrate the planning <br />deadline and decision-making process accordingly. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark Conley <br />624 <br />
