d. The City's current right of way continues the extension of Crenshaw to the south of park property. While <br /> this current alignment does not meet current street design standards, it cannot be assumed that the only <br /> alternative involves a taking of park property. <br /> e. The intent of the project as identified in the PROS Project and Priority Plan and funded through the 2006 <br /> Bond Measure is to acquire additional land to provide a minimal amount of parking for patrons to visit <br /> this unique and special natural area. This resource is one that is valued by the entire community, and it <br /> is therefore appropriate to accommodate access by providing an appropriately - scaled amount of parking. <br /> We cannot support the current development proposal because of the loss of parkland and the lack of any <br /> substantial benefit to the park resulting from the proposal. I'd be open to exploring additional ideas and <br /> proposals you may have that would provide a benefit to Gillespie Butte Park and your development. Please <br /> feel free to contact me to continue this discussion. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Carolyn Weiss <br /> Parks and Open Space Planning Manager <br /> 541- 682 -4909 <br /> cc: Kurt Corey, Public Works Director <br /> Johnny Medlin, Parks and Open Space Division Manager <br /> Russ Royer, Senior Real Property Officer <br />
