Appeal from approval of minor partition south of Crest Drive and east of Mt. Calvary Cemetery (Skyline Nine, Inc.)(M 76-50) Submitted by Mary M. Frank, 3325 Olive Street Approved by the Planning Commission September 27, 1976. Due to concerns expressed about drainage and soil conditions, the developer was required to submit engineering geologists report. After a review, staff concluded that approval could be recommended subject to certain conditions: 1. That an engineering geologist. be retained to evaluate plans for siting and foundation and to engineer a drainage system; 2. Because of the large size of parcels, that the developer file a deed restriction limiting to single family. In September, the Planning Commission upheld the staff decision and added that Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code dealing with hillside situations . be followed. Public hearing was opened. Mary Frank, 3325 Olive, said the soil investigation indicates the need for many things. Safe secure housing rests with the City of Eugene and, if council approves, it seems imperative that strict guidelines be specified with continual inspection. Joyce Salisbury, 3330 Olive, noted that recent repair has cost her more than $10,000. The southeast corner settled causing a crack. Steps had to be removed because they were too heavy, plus a back concrete patio. She expressed concern about lack of drainage plans. Bill Peterson, 2833-C Willamette, said they have built over 60 hillside homes (Peterson Construction) and have done extensive study. There is enough property there for seven homes and only 3 were platted, he said. Only 3 or 4 trees will be removed. Water from the cemetary will be diverted to the street. He believes that, if Mrs. Salisbury's builders had followed the same criteria, she would not have had any problem. Denis Grace, 5166 Alpine Loop, noted it is a very sensitive development, particularly as regards any tree cutting. Public hearing was closed. . Mr. Saul noted it remains the staff position that, despite the problems, there are adequate safeguards. The builder will have to demonstrate that Chapter 70 standards are met. Minutes 11/22/76 -2 558
