Thank you for the clarification. I really appreciate your taking the time to explain this. <br />Best, <br />Sarah <br />On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 8:48 AM GIOELLO Nick R <Nick.R.Gioello2ci.eugene.or.us> wrote <br />Hi Sarah, <br />On the plans, Tract A is identified as 50 feet wide where it runs the entire length of the east boarder of the PUD and the <br />City owned property with the Ribbon Trail. The Ribbon Trail varies in distance from this shared property line from 50 to <br />120 feet. In addition, the individual lots that border the east side of the PUD have preservation areas that vary in depth <br />on each lot, from 14 feet at the north potion to 188 feet toward the south. <br />In other words, with the combined distances of the Ribbon Trail from the shared property line, Tract A and individual <br />lot preservation areas, the closest buildable area on a lot (Lot #5) to the Ribbon Trail would be approximately 155 feet. <br />The largest buffer is between the Ribbon Trail and lot #17, approximately 290 feet. It looks like to me that the average <br />combined buffer distance is a little over 200 feet. <br />So, there is buffer protection of the trail with the City owned property that the trail is on. Tract A will be owned by the <br />HOA and they will have control of that area. The individual lots will have preservation areas on the approved PUD plan <br />set (of course that's assuming this project is approved). Whenever anyone comes in to build on their lot, they must go <br />through a building permit process and the City will check the approved plan set so that nothing will be built in those <br />preservation areas or in Tract A. <br />There are examples throughout the City where lot preservation areas and conservation areas like Tract A have been <br />successful. Of course there are occasions where an individual lot owner does something illegal (sometimes unwittingly, <br />sometimes not). We will do enforcement action in those cases once we become aware of a violation. <br />I hope that answers your questions. Thanks,, <br />1 <br />
