7G <br /> We, the under*-'led woulM�d like to express our apprecia`'in and concern for the <br /> (11.) "- <br /> use of the Wayne __ Ranch dog park. It seems that a _ small but vocal groupis <br /> adamantly oppossed to the single-use park, and we would like to present a more <br /> positive viewpoint. <br /> There are many fine multi-use parks in Eugene, but only a few areas designated as <br /> single-use parks where dogs can be off-leash. These parks are very important to dog <br /> owners, who use them year-round in all kinds of weather. The vast majority of those <br /> rn zy �y using the Ranch dog park make conscientious efforts to "follow the rules" and <br /> —' respect the rights of those neighboring the dog park; our dogs are licensed, they are <br /> kept on-leash outside the fenced area, the noise/barking level is controlled, and we <br /> pick up and dispose of our dogs' messes in the containers provided within the park. In <br /> addition, although it is inconvenient for many who take their dogs to the park before <br /> school or work, the recently imposed hours of closure (8p - 8a) of the east field have <br /> been complied with. 6445rsc� <br /> It is difficult to imagine Wayne Morrie-Ranch being used for some other purpose, <br /> particularly a multi-use park, without a major investment in renovations on the part of <br /> the City. Due to the terrain and street run-off, the park is virtually a swamp after a <br /> couple of good rains, and remains that way throughout the winter and spring. This is <br /> not a particular problem for the dogs, but we cannot imagine people wanting to take <br /> their children to play in this; a multi-use park at this site would remain wasted and <br /> unused for about 6 months out of the year. While this might be the goal of a few, it <br /> would be a disappointment and great loss for the many people and dogs who now <br /> enjoy this park throughout the year. <br /> n <br /> ala ersent • <br /> 1.Las- egAs- 8rih E'unuc 4D2 IN's-- 16' <br /> . -c�arQ, - � - <br /> 2 <br /> 3�. 941 17. <br /> aqs� e <br /> • 3- 1"et es4424:1;S :/e-see/11-14(543118. <br /> . 4. 19. <br /> 5. 20. <br /> 6. 21. <br /> 7. 22. <br /> . 8. 23. <br /> 9. 24. <br /> • . 10. 25. <br /> 11. 26. <br /> 12. 27. <br /> 13. 28. <br /> 14. 29. <br /> 15. 30. <br />
