NE53 <br />September 27, 2013 <br />Eugene Hearings Official <br />Eugene Planning and Development <br />Atrium Building <br />99 West .10th Ave. <br />Eugene OR 97401 <br />Re. Citizen Comment Document Regarding the Oakleigh Meadows Tentative Planned Unit <br />Development.(PDT 13-0001) and Willamette Greenway Permit (WG 13-0001) <br />Dear Hearings Official, <br />I object to the proposed PUD for the reasons stated in the Comments of Lauren Regan and. Bryn . <br />Thorns, and all additional objections incorporated by reference.nto that_Comment. I am. also a <br />member of the River Road Community Organization. and submit my comment,on behalf of the <br />RRCO as Well. <br />My additional.-questions and comments are as follows: <br />The current size of the proposed. project of.29 units isn't what was originally discussed with the <br />existing neighborhood. David and Joan, the: current property owners of the proposed Oakleigh <br />Meadows Cohousiiig. (OMC) project, moved from Oakleigh Lane and purchased the house and <br />land at the adjacent south street on McClure Lane. When David and Joan moved from Oakleigh <br />Lane and purchased the house and properly they told us they would love to see cottages and <br />gardens (7- 0 units). Now they. have proposed developing the property with .7 large townhouses <br />and I: huge common house. Their application has many inaccuracies, the applicant has been <br />deceptive, and OMC has ignored neighbor's%concerns. . The original vision is completely out of <br />perspective. <br />It is sad that David and Joan fought for Rasor Park to keep it in its natural state and opposed the <br />Cell Tower at the end of Oakleigh but now they are trying:to cram 29 units into a very small area <br />on a quiet unimproved lane theyno longer live on. <br />I understand -code and I understand that it, is legal to put 14 units on each acre of property in our <br />area: I understand the concept of infill and I have never been against :development of the OMC <br />property. However, what I am opposed to is that. we only have 20 homes total.. on our entire Yz <br />mile lane and OMC Will more than double the number of homes, all on an un-improved dead-end <br />lane. The proposed development is. not compatible with the existing neighborhood and the <br />applicant has not. shown substantial. evidence that the increased traffic will have minimal impacts <br />to the neighborhood. Doubling the traffic will have.substantial impact to the neighborhood. <br />1133 . <br />
