To: Eugene Natural Resources <br />Subject: Goal 5 NRC Project <br /> <br />._w ,,,,,,_,,~....w_'v .=" -- <I_W <br /> RECEIVED <br /> SEP 26 2005 <br /> CITY OF EUGENE <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />City of Eugene <br />Neil Bjorklund <br /> <br />To Whom it may concern, Hello, <br /> <br />I am a homeowner along the Willamette River on Copping Street in the River Rd. area and would be severely impacted by <br />the adoption of this project as it stands now. Since we are close to the river bank, most of our lot and our entire house is <br />in the setback zone, effectively eliminating any future improvements at the whim of city employees. There is absolutely no <br />reason to do this, to say nothing of putting the city at risk for numerous Measure 37 lawsuits. It is not right, not ethical, <br />and very possibly not even legal. The homeowners along the river have been, and will continue to be exemplary <br />stewards of the riverbank, which is the only thing standing between the river and our houses. A neighbor who recently <br />moved told me he sent the city a bill (tongue in cheek) for 30 years of expenses he incurred for greenway maintenance <br />behind his house. I hope you get the point, there is nobody, certainly nobody at city hall, who could possibly care more <br />about a healthy riparian zone than we do. Please leave it alone, it will be just fine without the city's interferance. Also <br />note that this west bank area is not even in the city, which further clouds the city's claim of authority here. I urge you, and <br />the west bank homeowners urge you, not to adopt the Goal 5 NRC project. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Marshall Johnson <br />342-3440 <br /> <br />9/2612005 <br />
