Georgiann Olsgard <br />3175 Potter St. <br />Eugene, Oregon 97405 <br />September 6, 2016 <br />To: Erik Berg Johansen <br />Asst. Planner <br />City of Eugene <br />Regarding the development end of River View St., North of 30th Ave. <br />Moon Mountain development <br />As a long time home owner and hiker of city and county trails, I feel it is <br />important to keep the greenway. A continuous green belt for wildlife, <br />hiking, and a way of living. The area has steep terrain, needs much <br />infrastructure. I feel the density of housing should be closer to downtown. <br />We are in a cul-de-sac due to the hills which are being denuded. I thought <br />there was some ordinance prohibiting cutting of hilltop trees, and the <br />longer I live here, the fewer trees. The few trees that are left, are <br />vulnerable to winds. Increasing areas needing fire and police coverage, <br />difficult accessiblity such as Moon Mountain, are not in the best interests <br />of people that chose to live here. Again, why do we cater to out of state <br />developers? Will they get a tax break? Will this be an eye-sore like <br />Capstone which will be a slum in the future? (I call it the projects). <br />Please think of urban sustainability. Think of your own mark on this <br />beautiful land. <br />Sincerely, <br />Georgiann Olsgard <br />
