Private setbacks <br />There would really be no setback between our yard and the parking lot and <br />dumpster as I understand it. A setback is crucial here to preserve my <br />enjoyment of my view and the property in general. I understand that a chain <br />link fence is proposed against the western edge of the development. A brick <br />wall will go on the eastern side. I don't want another chain link fence to look <br />at. <br />Safe parking <br />I understand from the staff report that there are extra bike parking spaces being <br />provided. I need to make clear that this area is not bicycle friendly unless you <br />are experienced in dangerous or heavy traffic and/or very fit. I cross <br />Willamette at 39th daily and 85% of the time people do not respect unmarked <br />crosswalks or the speed limit, nor do they use their turn signals. I would not <br />allow a child to ride their bike near here. In addition the area is naturally hilly. <br />Great for going somewhere, but not so much for coming home unless you are <br />very fit. <br />Thank you in advance for the opportunity to comment on this proposal! <br />Hannah S.
