to park on the road, creating safety hazards. <br />Jason Brown, a leader of the Fairmount Neighborhood response committee <br />combatting Dreyer's proposal, says the original plan for five large units was <br />generally accepted. The final plan - the one officially submitted for review - <br />includes 34 lots. <br />"Almost everyone was okay with five lots," Brown says, but as the number <br />continued to grow, concerns about safety and the health of Hendricks Park <br />and the neighborhood interfered with Dreyer's plan. <br />The response committee, Brown says, isn't interested in restricting Dreyer's <br />property rights or his right to develop. <br />"The Oregon way is not to be confrontational," Brown says. "People see this <br />vote against it as confrontational with the applicant, but I'm trying to explain <br />that this is how the process works. You have to just reject what's on the table. <br />That's not rejecting his right to develop, just the version he is proposing." <br />Dreyer contends that he has been "very generous" in terms of the size of the <br />conservation easement - land where trees will be preserved - and the <br />density at which he is building, which is somewhere between 2.6 and 2.9 <br />units per acre. <br />Dreyer says he is allowed to develop five units per acre; instead, he is <br />choosing to develop at nearly half that. <br />Understand the Laws <br />Brown says Dreyer is using some "Donald Trump facts" - meaning they're <br />only half-true. Brown explains that while R1 zoning (residential zoning) <br />allows for the development of five units per acre, the private land Dreyer has <br />purchased is only partly in the R1 zone. The situation is complicated by a <br />19705 study that has been adopted into city code that protects the land. <br />
