TO: Eugene Hearing Official <br />Eugene Planning & Development <br />Atrium Building <br />99 West 10th Avenue <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />RE: Citizen Comment Document Regarding the OAKLEIGH MEADOWS CO-HOUSING <br />Tentative Planned Unit Development (PDT 13-0001) & Willamette Greenway Permit (WG <br />13-0001) <br />Dear Hearing Official, <br />I object to the proposed PUD for all of the reasons stated in the Comments of <br />Lauren Regan and Bryn Thoms, and all additional objections incorporated by reference into <br />that comment. <br />Please Add <br />Gentlemen, in the beginning this "Oakleigh Meadows Co-Housing" henceforth O <br />referred to as "OMC" was pitched to our Oakleigh Lane & McClure Lane neighborhoods as a <br />8 to 10 unit co-housing experiment. We had frequent; every week or two, contact with <br />David Adee as he was trying to sell the.concept and get "buy in" from the neighborhood. <br />To me the project seemed plausible at that level of density. His tentative plan seemed <br />reasonable to me though many in the neighborhood were opposed to it. As time went by.we <br />were no longer hearing from David and then come to find out he had handed off the <br />project to a California Developer and a "Project Manager". Now, only by word on the <br />grapevine, we find the project is planned at 28 to 32 units. Clearly a bait & switch by 3 <br />times. <br />As time has gone on I have heard many descriptions of the project in less than a <br />forthright way. 1.) An effort to bring the neighborhood together. Poppycock OMC has <br />not dealt with the neighborhood in an honest and honorable way. Though agreeing to <br />"mediation" they have sent people who for the most part have stonewalled the process. 2.) . <br />OMC referred to having a development that was going to save the cedars along Oakleigh <br />Lane. Turns out those cedars are not even on their property. 3.) Reference was made to a <br />request for an easement on. the West property line of OMC by the Brandts, the property O <br />1058 <br />
