Quantum, Inc. April 3, 1991 pat Langan Project Manager Dept. of Public Works 858 Pearl Street Eugene, Oregon 9?401 Dear Mr. Langan: ~ECEii/ED APR O.;i9~1 DEPT- OF P~BUC w(ut~ tlij' Ot ~UCknt We are writing you in response to your letter dated March 25, 1991. In this letter, the Public Works Department reevaluated our assessment for the alley paving and sanitary sewers between ?th and 8th avenues from Washington street to Jefferson Street. Our assessment a.ncreased from the original figure of $4 , 443.2? to almost double that amount -- $Z, fiTO.19. We were told the basis for this increase is because "the predom~.nant land use for your ra erty at ?54 Washington Street is commercial use.". p p We take exce Lion to Quantum's reassessment and the loga.c by which p the Public Works Department reevaluated our assessment amount. Below outlines the reasons why: 1 The alley is used 4o hours per week for commercial use. ~ ~ ~ esidential traffic. 138 hours per week it is used for r Corse uently, T8.2~ of the week's available hours, the alley g ~s used for residential use. '~ Of the ten X10} Quantum, Inc. office employees located at ~} 754 Wash~.n ton, only five ~5} drive automobiles. The rest of g the em loyees ride bikes, walk or take public transportation. p 3 uantum is a telemarketing business. We do not receive ~ ~ roduct deliveries or retail customers at T54 Washington. p 4 Lastly, the main business entrance faces Washington Street. The residence entrance way faces the alley. Thus, we feel the proposed assessment for $?,670.19 is unjust. We re est that the original assessment value of $4,443.2T became our financial obligation for the alley paving. We appreciate your immediate attention tv this matter. cere , Eve McClure Director of Operations 7541aV~shington Street P.Q. Box 279 Eugene, QR 97402 ~~~~1~ •~ (503) 345-5556 1-800-Z34-3258
