Although the <br /> area is zoned P.U.D., there appears to be a way that the property <br /> can be "clear cut" or "thinned" and a permit issued within ten <br /> days of application to the Urban Forester without a public <br /> hearing opportunity being given to adjacent land holders. <br /> We are not against "sensitive development" of the property into a <br /> Planned Unit Development which takes into account the <br /> preservation of the property and fir stands owned by adjacent <br /> landholders. However, we are deeply concerned that an area which <br /> should be developed PUD to preserve the hillside adjacent to our <br /> property, could first be stripped of its fir trees. This area is <br /> part of the headwaters for Amazon Creek. Denuding the land will <br /> not only be unsightly to South Eugene, it may increase the risk <br /> to downstream landowners if runoff is increased. We believe <br /> other environmental concerns should be addressed as well. <br /> We would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please <br /> advise us of any hearings that may be pertinent to the sale of <br /> the above property or matters concerning the timber located on <br /> the 46 acres. <br /> Very truly you s, Ohm ; ?D To: <br /> Y <br /> Ronald R.
