Project No. 16-2C)8:01 <br />Dear Nick, <br />This letter is to address the confusion Mr. Holleran expressed in his January loth email to <br />yourself and Councilor Zelenka. <br />His first point demonstrates a misunderstanding of the Vicinity Map shown on our <br />mapping. Nowhere do we state that the Vicinity Map represents drivable surface existing on the <br />ground as Mr. Holleran is asserting. Several years ago our office purchased digital copies of the <br />Tax Maps from the County Assessor's Office. The Vicinity Map is a clip out of the digital tax map. <br />The Tax Maps show ownership as reported to the Assessor's Office, not improvements. The city <br />has reported to the Assessor's Office that they have street right-of-way ownership in the area to <br />which Mr. Holleran is objecting. <br />His second point demonstrates confusion on two sub-points. The first sub-point is why <br />the owners representative approached him about swapping the existing access easement for a <br />utility easement. The intent was an attempt at being neighborly by proposing an idea that could <br />be seen as a positive for both parties. Mr. Holleran and his wife would no longer have the risk of <br />a driveway being constructed in their side yard. The site would gain flexibility for utility <br />connections. However, since Mr. Holleran has been difficult to contact we have chosen to proceed <br />without the additional flexibility and leave the driveway easement intact. Mr. Holleran seems to <br />be expressing confusion though about the fact that this in no way makes the site undevelopable. <br />The second sub-point is the ability of the city to provide utility connections to the site. The <br />application material previously submitted demonstrates that this is possible; however, since Mr. <br />Holleran expressed some difficulty visualizing the discussion, the mapping has been updated to <br />- - provide a visual of the utility discussion: <br />EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD SALEM-%n2ER <br />310 51h Street, Springfield, OR 97477 1 p. 541.746.063' 1 f: 541.746.0389 1 '-ff.v .branchengineering.com <br />
