Dear Eric Berg, Terri Harding, Kurt Yeiter, Chris Henry, Betty Taylor & Emily Semple, <br />I live just off of West 29th street, my property has been significantly impacted by the increased <br />traffic from the changes that have been made to reduce the lanes on Willamette Street. <br />I also have to deal with light pollution from the tower of Cascade Manors tall multi story building <br />and deal with the parking runoff from the employees of Cascade Manor and Market of Choice <br />on my residential street. <br />Having looked at the proposed plans for "Amazon Corner" on Hilyard Street and 32nd Avenue I <br />can say without a doubt that such a large building complex will have a dramatically negative <br />impact on the neighboring residents of the area with increased noise, cars parked in front of <br />neighboring houses and the noise of trash collection vehicles. The out of place five story <br />building will obscure sunlight to residents yards, reducing their solar access and remove their <br />right to privacy on their property. It will reduce the value of their homes and impact their re-sale <br />value. Previous articles discussing this project in the Register Guard said that the building <br />proposal was for four stories, now the building proposal is for five. This is a dramatic increase in <br />building height and necessary parking requirement, will all of the cars associated with this <br />buildings tenants be provided ample parking? This project is listing the possibility of 108 <br />residential units, thus far it is clear that this project is not providing a solution to the parking <br />issue. And the undue burden of increased traffic it will bring to the quiet surrounding <br />neighborhood. We do not need more traffic problems than we already have. <br />This building would be the largest structure built in the South Eugene area. The site needs to be <br />required to be compatible with the surrounding area, the building must meet required building <br />setbacks and size restraints. Please do not allow residential housing units on the first floor of the <br />building. Impose parking requirements to the developer so that the tenants do not use <br />neighboring streets for parking. <br />There needs to be an expanded Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) to address the following traffic <br />issues and specific concerns including: <br />1) Increased traffic on the residential side streets of Ferry, Alder, Kincaid, Harris & Onyx <br />Streets and 31 st, 32nd & 33rd Avenues, (refer to: R-9.8650-A, C-1, F-8.1.1-8.1.4, <br />F-9). <br />2) Lack of safe crossings for pedestrians and cyclists, (refer to: R-9.8650-C-1, F-9, G-2). <br />3) Lack of refuges for vehicles entering/exiting Hilyard Street at 31 st Avenue, (refer to: <br />R-9.8650-C-1, F-8, 9, 10). <br />4) The study was only done for late afternoon hours, not the morning school and <br />work rush times, (refer to: R-9.8650-F-4.1.1, 2, 4, 5, 6 - F-4.4.9 - F-5.1). <br />5) Parking on 32nd Avenue, (refer to: R-9.8650-G(1)(2)). <br />6) Fewer units means less traffic, so building three stories, rather than four stories as <br />suggested in the 8/26/16 Register Guard article or five stories as proposed now is <br />preferable, (refer to: R-9.8650-A). <br />There needs to be an independent traffic analysis done that is not run by either the city or the <br />University of Oregon. To gain an impartial view of the impacts it will have on the area. <br />Please listen to the neighbors and understand how such a large building will negatively impact <br />their homes and way of life in their neighborhood. <br />
