BRWNANS2.LTR Page 2 <br /> Both the eventual sale and the exchange are ideas based on sound park planning principles, and <br /> are supported by a policy statement in the Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan. When both <br /> actions are complete, the park will have a better configuration with respect to site lines into it from <br /> the outside; paraphrased, it means that there is less area that cannot be seen from the street <br /> frontage and end, which benefits personal security and vandalism considerations. Even more <br /> important, increasing the width from 300 to 400 feet means that whatever activity that is designed <br /> into the park can either have more space, or there can be additional distance (buffering) between <br /> the activity and adjacent residences. The length of the park will remain long enough to <br /> accommodate any activity appropriate for neighborhood parks. <br /> You have suggested a meeting to resolve these issues. I will first consult with Jim Torrey <br /> conserning a time, place and format, and then call you with a possible date or dates. I hope that <br /> the neighbors concerns can be resolved in a manner satisfactory manner for all. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John Etter, Principal Landscape Archtitect <br /> Parks Planning, Public Works Maintenance <br />
