Laurel Dill Valley Citizens <br />Co-Chairs <br />October 5, 2016 <br />Mr. Fred Wilson <br />Gunnar Schlieder <br />Hearings Official <br />Sheryl Kelly <br />c/o Erik Berg-Johansen <br />City of Eugene <br />Vice-Chair <br />RE: LHVC SUBMISSION FOR 2nd OPEN RECORD PERIOD, LAUREL RIDGE PUD <br />ZONING REMAND (Z15-0005) <br />Stephanie Midkiff <br />Dear Mr. Wilson: <br />I am writing this letter on behalf of the Laurel Hill Valley Citizens as our submission <br />Secretary <br />during the 2nd Open Record period. This submission addresses the applicant's submission <br />from September 28, 2016. <br />Natalie Whitson <br />In short the applicant makes four allegations: <br />Treasurer <br />1. The applicant prefers their Exhibit "L" which consists of an overlay of rotated ZC- <br />2 onto a poor-quality scan of the Metro Plan Diagram using only the 30' Avenue <br />Susan Ratzlaff <br />centerline as referent. They dismiss overlays based on other single referents on the <br />basis of the referent's size or distance from the property. <br />Executive <br />2. LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-05 (Tax Lot Map Overlay) has inaccuracies. <br />3. LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-04 (Overlay of applicant's sheet ZC-4 onto high-resolution <br />Committee <br />scan of Metro Plan Diagram) has inconsistencies in scale. <br />Adam Jones <br />4. The issues with LHVC's Sheet 9/2/15-04 are related to LHVC's use of a "raster <br />Bill Blix <br />image" as opposed to a more accurate "vector-based" diagram. <br />Betty Hosokawa <br />We will address these issues in the following paragraphs: <br />Deborah Kelly <br />Applicant's allegation 1: Single Referent Better than Multiple? <br />Jan Wostmann <br />The issue of the propriety of using only one referent for placement of their property on <br />Kathleen Frazer <br />whichever Metro-Plan Diagram, as proposed by the applicant, has been addressed in both <br />LHVC's and City Staff's earlier submissions. Both LHVC and City Staff, the latter <br />Kaye Downey <br />referencing textbooks, agree with LUBA that use of multiple referents is preferable to use <br />Mitch Hider <br />of a single referent. LHVC's Sheet 9/2/15-04 makes use of a total of four referents, <br />Richard Cundiff <br />whereas the applicant uses only one, which, moreover, is a line, rather than a point. <br />LHVC's Sheet 9/2/15-04 demonstrates that a total of six referents (Centerline of 30r' Ave., <br />Centerline of Spring Boulevard and its intersection with 30' Ave., the base of the Green <br />Finger, Bloomberg Park, and the City Limits) can be matched well to the Metro Plan and is <br />consistent with Applicant's Sheet SA-7.0. <br />Laurel HillValleyCitizens@gmail.com . 2585Moon Mountain Drive .
