Please note that this is not a <br />development proposal. This application is for a zone change that, if approved, would convert the properties <br />from Agriculture (AG) zoning to low-density residential (R-1) and Parks and Open Space (POS). If the zone <br />change is approved, then the property could potentially be developed, but a developer will have to go through <br />another comprehensive review process (Planned Unit Development or PUD process). This next step would <br />also allow for public input, and the City understands the importance of preserving a certain amount of forest <br />lands on the subject property. Further, the applicant is proposing that the southern part of the property be <br />zoned Parks and Open Space, which will ensure protection of the ridgeline trail system. <br />Your email also states that "It [the sign] will be placed in a way so that all who use the trails can see as <br />well." I'm not sure if you intended to word the sentence in this way, but I would just like to remind you that the <br />signs cannot be moved from their current locations. They are placed at strategic points that increase the <br />chance of neighbors seeing them, and I believe this particular sign is in a good location for neighbors to view <br />it. Further, there is a trail head at this location (I was just at the site) and people who access at this point would <br />see it. <br />Thanks again for your comments and let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. <br />Best regards, <br />Erik Berg-Johansen I Assistant Planner <br />Planning Division I City of Eugene <br />99 West 10th Avenue I Eugene, OR 97401 <br />541.682.54371 erik. berp(aci. eugene. or. us <br />From: Susan Ferris [mailto:astrosgrl56@ymail.com] <br />Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2015 12:29 AM <br />To: BERG-JOHANSEN Erik <br />Subject: Development and wild spaces <br />Mr. Berg/Johnsen ? <br />I am writing this letter to voice my deep concern over the development of <br />the last wild place in South Eugene, maybe all Eugene. Call it The Spring <br />Blvd, 30th Ave Mistake. SB30AM. Why? <br />In the 40 years I have lived in Eugene I have been exploring , and walking <br />in this wild and beautiful area. It is a gift.
