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 <br /> <br />Alexandra Bonds <br />Department of Theatre Arts <br />1231 University of Oregon <br />Eugene, OR 97403 <br /> <br />Phone: 541 346-4194 <br />Fax: 541 346-1975 <br /> <br />9/26/2005 <br />
