Attachment C <br />Attachment B <br />Dear Nick Giollo, <br />We have lived on the corner of Spring Blvd and Fairmount Blvd for the past sixteen years. I am <br />writing this letter in regards to the proposed Capital Hill PUD. The proposal calls for 34 new <br />homes at the top of Spring Blvd. This concerns me for two reasons. First, Spring Blvd is a <br />narrow, two lane road with no buffers or sidewalks, and second, I believe we, as a society, have <br />a responsibility to preserve urban nature. <br />Spring Blvd is the main pedestrian and vehicle route to the top of the hill. In its' current <br />condition with its' existing usage, it is a dangerous place for pedestrians. Many times I have <br />been put in unsafe situations due to the lack of sidewalks while walking up or down the street. <br />When I had young children, I would never had considered letting them walk up the street to visit <br />friends on their own. It has now become a popular destination for long-boarders, adding an <br />additional element that makes driving on Spring Blvd sketchy and amplifies the dangers for <br />vulnerable walkers. <br />I acknowledge the fact that the Capital Hill PUD project involves land that is at present privately <br />owned, and as such the owner has rights to do with it as he/she wishes as long as they follow <br />the law. I also believe that we, as a community, have a responsibility to preserve unique natural <br />features for future generations. The South Hills Study explicitly identifies the evergreen <br />11 viewshed" as a public asset, and accordingly, I believe we need to questions easy short term <br />goals, such as development and act to preserve long term assets, such as the existing natural <br />areas for future generations. <br />Thanks you for taking the time to consider my point of view. I would appreciate it if you would <br />enter this correspondence into the record for Capital Hill PUD (PDT17-01) and confirm receipt. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sarah Bascom <br />2550 Fairmount Blvd., Eugene, 97403 <br />541-228-4657 <br />Page 375 <br />
