Lape <br />Subject Comments on PDF 25-01 and SDR 25-02 <br />Dear Mr. Gioello: <br />Again, I (Gary Lape) and my wife (Carrie Lape) reside at 3034 Hawkins, within 150 yards of the <br />proposed development and Randy Lane. <br /> <br />The application,PDF 25-01, does not meet the requirements of the Eugene Code in at least the <br />following particulars: <br /> <br /> EC 9.4920 (2)(b) requires a predetermined setback on Goal 5 wetlands. The wetland on this <br />property (AMA 5B) is a Category B wetland and requires a 25-foot buffer. The application <br />includes a map accepted by the Oregon Department of State Lands. The applicant’s map <br />shows places where the wetland is wider than the conservation setback on the map and does <br />not meet the 25-foot setback requirement. <br /> <br />EC 94920(3) demands that where a wetland and a stream exist together, the /WR conservation <br />area is the total footprint of the /WR conservation areas combined. Here, the /WR conservation <br />area for the wetlands has not been calculated or mapped. Nor was the total footprint combined. <br />If the applicant wants to proceed, it must include the 25-foot setback for the wetland and the <br />40-foot setback for the Category C stream. <br /> <br />Recall that the City has determined that the entire property is a Goal 5 property. Thus, because <br />the entire property is part of the City-adopted natural resource inventory, (1) all wetlands within <br />50 feet of property lines need to be identified and noted; (2) the site plan should identify all trees <br />by species and dimension, as they are a natural resource; and (3) critical root zones for trees to <br />be preserved within the /WR conservation area must be shown and information provided on <br />how they will not be negatively impacted. <br /> <br />EC 9.4980(4)(b) deals with the prevention of petroleum, chemicals, and other products used in <br />the construction process from entering the stream or wetland. Given how close my wife and I <br />live to the proposed development, this safety measure reflected in the Code is of the utmost
