Jack Long <br /> August 15, 1994 <br /> Page 2 <br /> We are not convinced that beaver dams or vegetation present <br /> serious limitations to the Amazon' s capacity to carry run- <br /> off . We oppose the type of destruction in habitat and <br /> visual amenities that you plan to undertake to "maintain" <br /> this portion of the Amazon. Instead, we want you to allow <br /> neighborhood work parties to tackle this section as you <br /> did with the portion south of Fox Hollow. <br /> If you will not change your plan to use a mechanized flail <br /> mower and destroy the habitat, then why not begin to implement <br /> the proposed redesign to widen and enhance the Creek in <br /> this area? ! By doing so, the city, in the long term, will <br /> be able to develop and retain this section of the Creek as <br /> a natural resource as well as a part of the stormwater <br /> system. It is unacceptable to us that you do otherwise . <br /> -Sincerel , / <br /> f / I/ !o/r <br /> udith and Peter Watt <br /> . 050 Dillard Road • <br /> Eugene <br /> 683-1530 <br /> cc: Friends of the Amazon Committee <br /> Southeast Neighbors Neighborhood Assoc. <br /> Barbara Keller <br />
