Tammy Ctafton <br />117 Oakleigh Lane <br />Eugene, OR 97404 <br />541-915-7034 <br />Eugene Hearing Official <br />Eugene Planning and Development <br />Aidum Building <br />99 West 10th Ave. <br />Eugene OR 97401 <br />October 3, 2013 <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 Heating Official, <br />I am Tammy Ctafton, home owner of 117 Oakleigh Lane where I reside with my husband and my 82 year <br />old father, whom recently moved in with us after the death of my mother in 2012. We purchased out <br />home on Oakleigh Lane in 1998, over 15 years ago when out son was 12. He grew up playing in the <br />neighboting meadow, riding his bike on out lane and fishing at the rivet. <br />I object to the proposed PUD for the reasons stated in the Comments on behalf of Lauren, Bryn and out <br />Neighbors, I am a member of the River Road Community Otganization and submit my comment on <br />behalf of the RRCO as well. <br />Out home was built in 1941, with a single lane driveway and a single cat detached-gatage on a 9,900 sf lot. <br />What we love about Oakleigh LANE, and the Northern and Southern lanes, are; we are in the city, but our <br />street is rutal, it has a country feeling. The lane is quiet, quaint, a dead-end, undeveloped street, with <br />patents and children; dogs, cats, and bicycles, the bonus is the greenway access to the bike path and river. <br />Please help us develop Oakleigh Meadow in a way that serves out community and out Lane as it should. <br />Not with mass and overcrowding. <br />The current size of the proposed project is 28 units, with a large common house to include a kitchen, and <br />bedrooms making it actually 29 units. The original proposed vision was for 7-10 cottages, with gardens and <br />a community to flow with the existing neighborhood. <br />I understand by reading Eugene Code, it is legal to put 29 units on the acreage of property in out area. <br />What I am opposed to is that we only, have 19 or so established homes total on our entire 1 1/2 lane, <br />under developed, dead-end, Civet access; and the traffic on this lane will be increased by a large matgin. <br />Decreasing the safety of all individuals who live here. Please as stated last night, incotporate a traffic study <br />analysis. <br />I wonder if this development goes through if the existing home owners on Oakleigh will be able to access <br />out dead-end street for pedestrian, biking, and river access to walk out dogs, ourselves, out families, and <br />grandchildren. The developers drawings show a FUTURE public pathway to the bike path, when is the <br />future? <br />I want to state on record, I am NOT opposed to development but I want to meet my new nighbots and <br />embrace them. I don't want to feel like -the minority, and have animosity due to unwanted overcrowded <br />housing and excessive traffic on out little lane. <br />980 <br />
