Box 10226 <br /> Eugene, OR 97440 -2226 <br /> Dear Jock: <br /> I received your letter of April 21, 1997, proposing a joint analysis of a possible community park <br /> and adjacent natural area purchase in Southwest Eugene. The Parks and Recreation Plan <br /> indicates a need for a community park within this general area, however, we have found it <br /> difficult to locate a parcel of sufficient size that is free of conflicting environmental constraints. <br /> Approximately 30 acres of land, which can be fully developed, is required to allow for the full <br /> range of activities generally associated with a community scale park. <br /> I understand that the proposed parcel has yet to be evaluated for its potential as a community <br /> park by City of Eugene Parks Planning staff, but that this work should be completed within the <br /> next couple of weeks. Two primary City issues in need of research are: <br /> 1.) Determining if the acquisition would meet the criteria for funding with Park Systems <br /> Development Fund (SDF). <br /> 2.) If SDF can be used, finding a purchase option or acquisition time line matching the SDF <br /> revenue projections. <br /> I have assigned Johnny Medlin to coordinate City staff efforts with your agency on this project. I <br /> look forward to receiving a report on the status of this joint acquisition proposal in the next <br /> couple of weeks. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ALOSIllf e/W <br /> Bob Hanunitt <br /> Maintenance Director <br /> cc: Mayor and City Council <br /> Chris Andersen <br /> Johnny Medlin <br />
