The following comments address Adjustment Review <br />Application ARA 16-017 and Traffic Impact Analysis TIA 16-007. <br />The initial reaction of the neighborhood to a mixed use development at this site <br />was generally positive. However, now that the large scale of the proposed <br />development is known, it has raised concerns about the traffic that would be <br />generated and the compatibility of such a large and tall building with the <br />surrounding neighborhood. We believe the scale of the proposal could be <br />reduced to produce a more compatible and harmonious development. <br />Adjustment Review <br />Application Completeness - Site Plan <br />The proposed site plan is based on the use of an underground parking facility <br />with 60 spaces in combination with 99 surface parking spaces, to provide <br />adequate on-site parking. We have no objection to the underground (below- <br />grade) parking, and consider it to be a desirable and essential element of the <br />394 East 32nd Avenue • Eugene, OR 97405 <br />541/345-8246 • email: info(a)fodorandassociates.com <br />
