<br />CITY OF EUGENE
<br />PLANNING DEP,I\RTMENT
<br />
<br />To: Eugene City Council
<br />From: Alexandra Bonds, Owner, 1030 Lorane Highway
<br />Re: Testimony AGAINST the GoalS Inventory to be placed before the City Council: Riparian Corridor: E81
<br />Lorane Highway
<br />
<br />I support the motion passed by the Crest Drive Community Association to reduce the setbacks for the
<br />Lorane Highway Riparian Corridor from 40' to 20'.
<br />
<br />The setback for the Willamette River is 100'. The water at the bottom of the Lorane Highway drainage ditch
<br />might reach 12" in width during the rainy season, while the Willamette River must be about 100' in some
<br />areas. What would the actual proportional setback be between these two waterways? Surely this minute
<br />waterway doesn't require 40% of the protection of the mighty Willamette.
<br />
<br />The proposed E81 Riparian runs along the western edge of my property. The proposed 40' setback now
<br />encompasses.my carport and runs through the middle of the living and dining rooms.
<br />
<br />The property across the riparian corridor from mine has a house perched on the edge of the bank. If one were to
<br />trespass and walk the length of this drainage ditch, no doubt many other buildings would be found within the
<br />proposed setback.
<br />
<br />As the setback has already been penetrated in this area, the imposition of new regulations after the fact is a
<br />waste of taxpayers' time and money.
<br />
<br />Please listen to the collective will of your constituents in this area, and reduce or eliminate the overlay of
<br />protections on E81 Lorane Highway Riparian.
<br />
<br />Yours truly,
<br />Alexandra Bonds
