i <br /> November 10, 1995 <br /> 1772 Happy Lane <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Mr. John Etter <br /> Public Works -- Maintenance <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> Subj: Proposal to Purchase Portion of Bond Lane Park <br /> Dear Mr. Etter, <br /> 1. I desire to purchase from the City of Eugene a 10' x 100' strip of land adjacent to the <br /> east side of my property (see attachment) that is currently part of Bond Lane Park. <br /> Acquiring the land would allow me to expand my garage. Based upon my 1995 tax bill, I <br /> estimate the land to be worth approximately $6000. <br /> 2. When I approached you about this before you raised two objections: (1) that the width <br /> of the park would be compromised and (2) that official maps would have to be redrawn. <br /> Your most recent proposal to develop the park, however, compromises the width of the <br /> park at nearly the same location (by adding a cul -de -sac to Happy Lane) and requires <br /> redrawing of official maps (by trading parcels with Mr. Greer). <br /> 3. The City of Eugene would benefit from this sale in two ways: (1) the city would <br /> receive approximately $6000 to help improve Bond Lane Park or to help purchase land for <br /> parks in other areas and (2) the city (and county and school district) would receive <br /> additional yearly taxes. The strip is so narrow and in such a location that its sale would in <br /> no way affect the utilization of the park. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charles E.
