In his <br />judgment there were approximately 42 acres of POS on the applicant's property. <br />Since we don't have a map showing exactly where those 42 acres are, this information is <br />useful only as 'context'. It should assist you in determining that the applicant's map, <br />Exhibit L, which shows approximately 20 acres of POS, cannot be correct. Such a large <br />discrepancy surely indicates that the applicant's methodology produced an incorrect <br />resu It. <br />In contrast, LHVC's Sheet 9/2/15-04 shows approximately 40 acres of POS, which is much <br />closer to the estimate produced by the City's GIS specialist. <br />There are of course many more compelling and direct reasons why Sheet 9/2/15-04 is the <br />most accurate representation of the line separating the plan designations on the 2004 <br />Metro Plan Diagram. See testimony from Gunnar Schlieder, Bill Blix and Sean Malone. <br />It is interesting to note that should you delineate the line between plan designations <br />based on Sheet 9/2/15-04, the applicant would likely acquire two acres more of <br />developable land than what the accuracy of today's GIS technology would give them. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Jan Wostmann <br />Laurel Hill Valley Citizens <br />LaurelHillValleyCitizens@gmail.com 9 2585 Moon Mountain Drive 9 Eugene, OR 97403 9 www.lhvc.org <br />
