June 25, 2003 <br />Philip Richardson, Landscape Architect <br />City of Eugene, Parks and Open Space Division <br />1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />Subject: Amazon Headwaters Trail <br />Dear Philip: <br />Thank you for providing the additional information requested by Planning and Development Department <br />staff, concerning the proposed Amazon Headwaters Trail. As you know, Gabe Flock has been most directly <br />involved in reviewing the proposal, to determine whether or not the proposed trail will require Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) approval. <br />I have consulted with Mr. Flock, and consistent with our review of the additional details and applicable <br />requirements of the City's updated land use code, my determination is that a PUD application will not be <br />required for the proposed trail. We find that the proposal, in and of itself, does not constitute the type and <br />magnitude of development that is normally reviewed through the PUD process (such as a residential <br />subdivision). PUD applications are intended to address significant development projects, involving <br />substantial infrastructure and building construction. Clearly, the proposed trail does not qualify as such a <br />project. <br />If you have further questions or concerns about this determination, please feel free to contact me or Mr. <br />Flock. Please also make sure to consult with the appropriate staff in the Planning and Development <br />Department about permits that will otherwise be required, such as an erosion prevention permit. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom G. Coyle <br />Executive Director <br />cc: Dennis Taylor <br />Jim Carlson <br />Kurt Corey <br />Gabe Flock <br />Steve Nystrom <br />Johnny Medlin <br />Andrea Riner <br />Kevin Finney <br />Betty Taylor <br />Kevin Matthews <br />Zane & Elaine Cornett <br />Teresa Harter <br />C:\Documents and Settings\cewakac\I,ocal Settings\Temporary In[emet Fites\OLKCE\amazontrail603.wpd <br />
