I have two objections, as outlined below. <br />Objection #1 <br />The proposed plan indicates the existing curb cut on Elysium avenue is be moved slightly west, closer to the existing <br />intersection. Just east of the property, Elysium curves to the north, which makes the existing curb cut significantly <br />difficult to see and the proposed curb cut very difficult to see. Traffic pulling out onto Elysium will not have a good view <br />of oncoming traffic that is heading west of Elysium. Elysium is a safe neighborhood street. So safe that local school <br />districts have bus drop offs close by this property. Adding significantly more vehicles to a curb cut that is difficult to see <br />for oncoming traffic will make the street less safe. <br />Objection #2 <br />The proposed plan appears to eliminate the existing landscaping along Elysium Ave and retain the existing street <br />trees. The existing landscape is tall shrubs that provide visual privacy and sound barrier between the commercial <br />property and local neighborhood. Keeping tall landscaping along Elysium helps in making the parking lot on the GO <br />properties more compatible with the neighboring residential development. <br />I hope you will consider these objections to the proposed land use action. I believe these concerns can be addressed <br />without undue burden on the developer. <br />Thank you, <br />Ellie Johnson <br />2802 Elysium Ave <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />
