I moved to Eugene alone, I had no family and had no friends upon <br />my move here for work. The residents on Mc Clure Lane welcomed me with open arms, and we have become family and a close knit <br />group of friends. <br />Over the years and many BBQ’s and celebrations combined with our neighbors on Oakleigh, we have become quite close and watch <br />out for each other. We have keys to each others homes, watch each others kids and animals and feel very safe in our quiet <br />neighborhood on our small lanes. I love this neighborhood for the people, beauty and ease of access to the gorgeous natural River <br />Path that I enjoy everyday. I brag to my friends and family back in Southern California how lucky I am to live in such an amazing and <br />beautiful city that puts high value on it’s open green spaces. It would be a shame to allow building on the Greenway and turn it into a <br />concrete Jungle from where I came from. <br />A development of this magnitude thats devastates the Greenway, flood plain and the character of our small quiet neighborhood, not to <br />mention the price of these high end condos does not fit with the character of our older middle class homes. <br />If you allow OMC this land use change it will not only effect Oakleigh and McClure Lane, but all of River Road, Eugene and even the <br />state. Giving OMC a permit to build on the Willamette Greenway sets up , for both <br />very negative prescient environmentally and economically <br />residents and visitors that come here to enjoy and spend money in our beautiful area. I’m sure most residents and visitors are and will <br />be opposed to seeing large condos, club houses, eight foot walls and whatever else is allowed to be built in the Greenway up and down <br />the river if this permit is allowed. Please do not allow building in the Greenway or a development of this size in our neighborhood. <br />Regards, <br />Daneen K. Justice <br />Daneen K.
