August 13, 1997 <br /> Pat Sonnen <br /> Blazer Construction <br /> P. O. Box 1378 <br /> Eugene, OR 97440 <br /> Dear Pat: <br /> Our neighborhood association Development Committee met last night to consider the <br /> proposal for parks and open space for the PUD projected for the Moon Mountain area <br /> that you presented to me last Wednesday. Before I left on my trip, I gave committee <br /> members the new maps you provided. The committee thinks your latest parks and open <br /> space plans are a very positive step toward assuring the livability of our neighborhood <br /> and the wider Eugene community. They further feel that this proposal would resolve <br /> one of the major concerns that caused us to oppose residential development in that area. <br /> We concluded that if this proposal is part of the submitted PUD application, and is <br /> accepted by the City, it would be an adequate start on the Eugene Parks Plan's <br /> requirement of a regional park on Moon Mountain. (We would expect the City to <br /> acquire the rest from properties currently outside of the urban growth boundary.) We <br /> also agreed that your proposal is in compliance with the South Hill Study's requirement <br /> that residential development not occur above 900 ft. In our neighborhood testimony on <br /> the PUD application we will be happy to bring these facts to the attention of the <br /> Hearings Official and the members of the Planning Commission. <br /> We look forward to reviewing the rest of your PUD application, and are confident that <br /> we can resolve with the same cooperative spirit other obstacles that might stand in the <br /> way of a successful development project. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Jan Wostmann <br /> Co- Chair, Laurel Hill Valley Citizens <br /> CC: Laurie Swanson - Gribskov, City Councilor, Ward 4 <br /> John Etter, Parks Planning, City of Eugene <br /> Teresa Bishow, Planning Division, City of Eugene <br />
