TABLE 40V <br /> Putting money in parks instead of the schools, and the increased class size of the schools now. <br /> 1 think because park money could be better spent. From what I have noticed there are enough parks now. There is enough <br /> traffic now in the Santa Clara area and Eugene without adding more. <br /> If 1 understand it, it was voted against by the community and now the city council wants to go ahead with it. The money could <br /> be used for other things. There are enough parks. <br /> They can't take care of what they have now. The area proposed is going to affect the whole Santa Clara area and it can't <br /> support the traffic that is out there now. <br /> I don't see how the area can handle that much new traffic in the area when they have trouble with the traffic they have now. 1 <br /> can't see buying more parkland when we need more important things. <br /> If 207 acres are purchased, I can see our taxes being increased to supposedly maintain and improve the parks. Somehow <br /> taxes will be increased somewhere along the way. <br /> 97404 <br /> I pay enough taxes now. <br /> They, the city, never stick to the codes they set up. The places are ugly and the tax payers pay. <br /> Everything comes down to my taxes as a homeowner. I pay an overwhelming amount now and this project would just make <br /> them more. <br /> I just would hesitate that the City will pull something else on us. (probe) They will charge us a lot more on taxes. <br /> The cost doesn't justify it. <br /> 1 think it will cost the tax payers money to maintain and there is some concem about the children being near the railroad <br /> tracks. <br /> I don't want to pay for this with higher taxes. I'm all for a park but I don't want the city to sprawl haphazardly. I want the urban <br /> growth boundary to stand. <br /> An increase in taxes wouldn't be far behind this project. The traffic would a hell of a lot worse than it is now. <br /> can see taxes all over. This is just a way to raise our taxes. Where are they gang to put all the traffic? <br /> We want it to stay the way that it is out here. We don't need all the traffic and aggravation. River Road can't hold the traffic it <br /> has now. We don't need the taxes and we don't need a park. <br /> We use up all the farmland, what are we going to eat. I would just hate to see anything happen to the farms out here. It <br /> sounds like another excuse to raise our taxes. <br /> There are enough houses and traffic out in Santa Clara now. 1 bet that before long something will come up and then the city <br /> will find a way to raise more taxes. 1 can see it coming with this. <br /> We don't have all the details. The way that it sounded was that after the houses would be developed, maybe we would get a <br /> park and community. They would have to put into effect a tax to cover it. <br /> don't want anything like the development that is that large. 1 don't like the idea of low income housing. We don't want a big <br /> park, just small neighborhood parks work great. Taxes will increase next. <br /> 1 am not opposed to a park but I don't want all the houses. We don't need a big park. Property taxes would be raised. We <br /> have a nice park. The citizens carne up with a proposal that makes sense. <br /> If this is going to be city land, I'm concemed about the tax base -1 don't want to be annexed. <br />
