November 9, 2016 <br />CAPITAL HILL PUD <br />Neighborhood Meeting <br />Meeting Notes <br />Presentation <br />• Meeting convened at 6:00 PM. <br />• Facilitated by Bree Nicolello, Schirmer Satre Group. Bree Nicolello presented the agenda for the <br />evening as well as the meeting guidelines. <br />• Tom Dreyer, the owner and proposed developer of Capital Hill PUD stated the new proposed revision <br />being presented incorporates the suggestions the homeowners/neighbors brought forward at the last <br />meeting (February 6, 2014). These include density changes, additional wildlife preservation areas <br />and smaller residential footprints. <br />Questions <br />Q: How do we imagine the existing road to accommodate higher density? <br />A: We are in the process of conducting a formal traffic survey. <br />Q: Are you doing a trip study count/conflict points? <br />A: We are looking into that and will be conducting a formal safety/traffic study. There is a possibility of <br />widening the road. Safety concerns are being addressed and will be incorporated into proposed plan <br />that will take into account bikes, pedestrians and additional use of streets. <br />Q: Are you taking into account to the undeveloped lots (not owned by Mr. Dreyer) for their increased <br />traffic? <br />A: We will look into those lots and take them into consideration. <br />Q: Have you considered the impact of the construction - perhaps 100,000 to 200,000 <br />truckloads? (Brent Lorscheider). NOTE - Brent Lorscheider requested to go on <br />record he is opposed to development. <br />A: A plan will be put in place that will take place in phases as to mitigate the impact of <br />the construction on the neighborhood. <br />Q: If you are expanding Capital, what about Spring Blvd? <br />A; The owner (Tom Dreyer) is concerned as well; a study is being conducted. <br />Q; What was the length and when did you do the survey and did you take into account the pedestrians? <br />A: The study was conducted two years ago as well as in the last two months. The study used industry <br />standard methods. <br />Q: If the road is widened, how will this impact wildlife/birds? <br />A: The uphill side will be widened about 2-4 feet, with little impact to the existing trees. We will not widen <br />the road in front of existing houses. The plan is to not expand more than necessary. <br />Q: Which streets will construction traffic come up and down? <br />A: The streets are public streets, so we do not dictate access. <br />Q: What is the purpose of the preservation area and will there be fences? <br />A: There are multiple purposes of the preservation area. Visually it looks better. <br />Topographically it works well. It is a highly wooded area which is conducive for wildlife. As <br />far as the fencing, no decision has been made although it does show on the maps. <br />375 West 4th, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 <br />PLANNERS + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS + ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALISTS Phone: 541.686.4540 Fax: 541::686:4577 <br />j www.scfiirmersatre.com <br />rt; <br />MA <br />SCHIRMER <br />SATRE- <br />
