Medlin DEF p <br /> Maintenance Support Manager <br /> Public Works Maintenance <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> Dear Mr. Medlin: <br /> On behalf of the Eugene Off Leash Association, I would like <br /> to thank you for the time and energy you have recently <br /> devoted to the Morse Ranch Off Leash Area dispute. The Board <br /> has discussed the recent proposal to fence along both sides <br /> of the stream, while retaining off leash access to both <br /> sides, and we have decided to support this proposal. <br /> Despite our support, we do not feel that this type of fence <br /> is truly needed or warranted. However, we understand your <br /> desire to be responsive to the concerns raised by the off <br /> leash opponents. It is our hope that this fence will be a <br /> temporary one - pending the plantation and growth of a hardy <br /> and protective vegetation along the stream bank. A natural <br /> vegetation barrier would certainly help to protect the stream <br /> bed against any potential degradation, and would be less <br /> obtrusive. <br /> If the fencing is to be permanent, we are confident that <br /> Public Works will make an effort to ensure that it is as low <br /> and unobtrusive as possible. In either case, whether the <br /> fencing is to be temporary or permanent, we hope to be <br /> consulted before it is erected - as we would like to discuss <br /> the installation of additional crossing points. <br /> I look forward to being contacted by you soon to discuss <br /> the possibility of temporary fencing and the installation of <br /> additional crossing points. I thank you again for your help <br /> in this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Casey Forrest <br /> Chair - Eugene Off Leash Association <br /> 44,5-52Z.1 <br /> 7q1 - C07-13 <br />
