ATTACHMENT A April 19, 2012 Mrs. Diane Chavez Administrator Olive Plaza Olive Street Eugene Oregon 97401 RE: Neighborly Commitments Dear Diane, On behalf of Capstone Collegiate Communities we are appreciative of the time spent together discussing the concerns you and other Olive Plaza residents have for the proposed student housing project.. We are excited to be a part of the downtown community and neighborhood. As discussed, we are committed to working with Olive Plaza management now and in the future. 1. Construction Noise: Capstone’s construction manager will work closely with our general contractor to minimize the construction period noise impacts on Olive Plaza. Per Eugene’s land use code (Chapter 6, 1 Section 6.750 (d) Construction shall be limited to the hours between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday with no construction on Federal or State holidays. Capstone will do all that it can to ensure the construction operations maintain this code policy. As part of the overall management of the construction site, the sensitivity of Olive Plaza to noise will be put on the daily monitoring check list to assure the construction management staff is fully aware of the impact and sensitivity of construction period noise. 2. Operations or Resident Noise: The design of the buildings internalizes the outdoor gathering spaces to minimize noise. Large community gatherings within the common court yard areas will be controlled by management and noise levels will be maintained within reason and not allowed to become a problem to off – site neighbors. During the operations of the community, management will provide as part of the student residents move in package information regarding the existence of Olive Plaza and the sensitivity this community has to loud noises, privacy, safety and well being of its elderly residents. As part of the overall management of the community, the sensitivity of Olive Plaza to operations and resident noise will be put on the daily monitoring check list to assure the management staff is fully aware of the impact and sensitivity of noise to Olive Plaza.
