Learn why this is important <br />[EXTERNAL ] <br />Nick, <br /> <br />We are currently homeowners on Blacktail Drive in SW Eugene and writing regarding the <br />planned Braewood Hills 3rd Addition (PUD 24-001 and ST 24-003). <br /> <br />Based upon available information, we have the following concerns: <br /> <br />As we understand them, the application for development fails to meet Eugene building <br />codes. <br />We are concerned with potential issues for wetlands, erosion, traffic, density, wildlife <br />and overall, a full review process. <br /> <br />The information we were provided obviously warrants a General / Discretionary <br />application path given the sensitive nature of the site and surrounding properties and <br />not a “Clear & Objective” path which fast tracks elements of the application. <br /> <br />In accordance with EC 9.8325 and related tree preservation codes EC 9.6880 and EC <br />9.6885, a full review must be done to evaluate the impact on trees within the site and <br />their preservation. When we built our house, the City was very strict on limiting damage <br />and removal of all sensitive trees to include the Willamette native oak which we have, <br />and which is present on this planned development property. <br /> <br />In accordance with EC 9.6815, the current plan fails to allow adequate exit and entry <br />options for the site, as well as deficient safe access for emergency, fire, and medical <br />vehicles. The developer’s effort to cram the largest number of lots into a small area <br />impacts safety, sensitive trees, the wetlands, and wildlife access which has been <br />prevalent on this site over the last 20 years. <br /> <br />Two vehicle minimum parking should be a requirement for this development. Having <br />small streets crammed with cars is no way to improve quality of life for its inhabitants. <br />There is no public transportation near this property, thus each and every property and <br />can be expected to have a minimum of two cars. Given the number of lots planned and <br />potential vehicles, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) should be performed. <br /> <br />Traffic speed and frequency through the neighborhood has dramatically increased over
