17 <br /> EFFECT OF VARIOUS FACTORS (Q9 -Q28) - <br /> The most compelling reason to support the proposed project is that "purchasing the Ridgeline <br /> Trail property would protect forest land and stream headwaters." Other factors that would cause <br /> people to lean toward supporting the project are: "community members could be involved in how <br /> the development would look," "the proposed development would incorporate design methods for <br /> ease of living and functioning," "there would be no change in the total amount of land available <br /> for development inside the Urban Growth Boundary," "with the land trade proposal, the City <br /> would obtain 207 acres of parks and open space for under $1 million," "the City has a budget of <br /> $1, million to buy park land in Santa Clara," and "city services such as water, power, sewer and <br /> streets are already in place adjacent to the proposed development." <br /> The most compelling reason to oppose the proposed project is that "the project would allow a <br /> housing development on prime agricultural land." Other factors that would cause people to lean <br /> toward opposing the project are: "added housing would increase the size of classes in some <br /> Bethel schools," "the proposed development would include over 900 new homes and 10 acres of <br /> commercial development in Santa Clara," and "traffic would increase near the new park and <br /> neighborhood." <br /> • <br /> Regarding condemnation of land, it appears that people were rating the idea of condemnation, <br /> rather than the idea that without the project, condemnation could occur. The same is true for <br /> "without the land trade proposal, the developer wants to develop the entire parcel with housing." <br /> Mean Values <br /> 1= Oppose; 5= Support <br /> Base =400 Base =400 <br /> Eugene 97404 <br /> Forest and streams protected 3.8 3.4 <br /> Community involvement in development 3.5 3.3 <br /> Progressive' design methods 3.5 3.3 <br /> No net change for development 3.5 3.2 <br /> 207 acres for $1,000,000 3.4 3.2 <br /> • <br /> City budget of $1,000,000 3.4 3.2 <br /> City services are in place 3.4 3.2 <br /> Least parks per person in S.C. 3.3 3.2 <br /> No other parcels available 3.3 3.2 <br /> Ridgeline moved outside UGB 3.2 3.0 <br /> Streets could handle traffic 3.2 3.0 <br /> Only developed land to be annexed 3.1 2.9 <br /> UGB expanded 2.9 2 <br /> Traffic would increase 2.7 2.5 <br /> 900 homes and 10 acres commercial 2.6 2.4 <br /> Class size would increase 2.5 2.3 <br /> Developer wants to develop entire parcel 2.4 2.3 <br /> Condemnation would cost more 2.4 2.3 <br /> Condemnation of property 2.3 2.4 <br /> Development on agricultural land 2.1 2.1 <br /> • <br /> Advanced Marketing Research, Inc. <br />
