I hope we get a chance to review the issue paper and provide some <br /> input. There seems to be a general interest in putting open space in public ownership but its my opinion <br /> that there are several other options including making the area common area on the face of the plat. The <br /> associated implications or expectations of the adjoining property owners is what concerns me. Lots of <br /> people would like to have a 'park' like setting in their back yard but then they also tend to expect we are <br /> going to do something with it. Just some thoughts. Good luck.

A policy dealing with public acceptance of wetlands will <br /> affect a lot of City programs - we have a number of concerns related to public infrastructure and <br /> assessments among others. The City's acceptance of the wetlands in West Eugene went through a long <br /> planning process, with an extensive cost /benefit study. I'm not saying were opposed to the idea, only <br /> that it may take a while to finally hammer out a policy; the letter from Wells indicated that he might not be <br /> able to wait that long. I'm real concerned about giving him any indication now that we'll accept the park, <br /> and then later deciding not to (I'm going to give him a call today). If we do, it will still be his responsibility <br /> to construct the street through the wetland, get all the permits, and pay off the remaining sewer <br /> assessment. <br /> From: STEGNER Donna M <br /> To: FERGUSON Joe M <br /> Subject: FW: MD 94 -14 Bramblewood <br /> Date: Thursday, December 29, 1994 8:34AM <br /> Got this from John yesterday. This is the park site you had <br /> questions about. I realize that accepting the site leaves <br /> some questions as to liability, maintenance, etc. However, <br /> accepting is supported by the Metro Plan and will leave a <br /> wonderful openspace for future generations. Not to mention, a <br /> great homeless camp (tongue in cheek). Donna <br /> From: WEBER John J <br /> To: STEGNER Donna M <br /> Subject: MD 94 -14 Bramblewood <br /> Date: Wednesday, December 28, 1994 3:OOPM <br /> Donna, <br /> The configuration of this park site appears to be what we were expecting. <br /> The criteria for accepting non - developable park land is still in the draft stage. <br /> Its my understanding that an issue paper is yet to be <br /> completed (by Bob Hammit, I think). <br /> John Etter's preliminary analysis of the Bramblewood park site <br /> indicates that it will pass the draft criteria. <br /> -j w <br /> Page 1 <br />
