"As stated in the flier. . .. ."
. Well, we knew we were no longer in Eugene. The flier was printed on slick non-
. recyclable paper.
"The nurnose of the meetinl! ... l!et ouestions answered."
So why didn't you (or someone)? Wes Swanger said you (or,someone) didn't answer
questions but danced around them. At one point he asked if there had been traffic studies
made and after going around and around and around he frnally interrupted and said he wanted
what he asked for: a "yes" or "no" answer. These are his words, Go ask him and get an ear
full. .
Ken Falk asked what was to prevent motorist from by "passing the traffic circle when it
becomes a mess and driving down the frontage road. The answer? The reply went around
and around and the question was never answered. These are Nancy Falk's words. Go ask her
and get two ear fulls.
,Another person said he never was able to get any questions in at all.
Another reason we know we are not in EUl!ene
. .,' \
What about the bike path? Neither I nor anyone I spoke with recalls a single word about it. Are
they going to be sent on a suicide 'mission around the roundabout or ~raffjc circle?
Ii
One of the problems is that the City has failed to give adequate attention to the other
freeway off-ramp: High Banks Road. During the first planning commission hearing Rick Satre
said he had a whole pile of traffic studies. It is true. We have seen them. Wes Swanger was
puzzled and kept asking why didn't the City admit to them being ih existence.
It seems that citizen involvement in Springfield is tolerated orily to what is the very
minimal as required by law. See attachment 8-13 where the city wants a $11,270 fee to appeal
our concerns before the city council. The North Springfield Citizens Committee was, foimed in
the 1970's when Gary Karp was still working at Weyerhaeuser. IIi 1973 K-Mart planned to
build on the Pierce pwp<"~f and the North Springfield Citizens Committee was successful in
K-Mart's relocation. In 1975 the Marcola Road residents woke-up,to find themselves in the

City and promptly voted themselves out. Council(\~ Adams proclirimed, "If you don't want to
be in the city we don't want you!" A couple years later the boundary committee scheduled a
hearing to annex Marcola Road but declared it postponed due to ice on the roads. Since the
meeting was canceled the Marcola Road residents didn't attend but three committee members
did and annexed Marcola Road. The North Springfield Citizens Committee has been active
since, including dealing with Springfield and Lane County in the 1983 Marcola Road
improvements, and everyone on Marcola Road met over the Harlow clan project. One of the
questions is if the City changed or created new and/or additional requirements to be recognize
does the City have an obligation to inform the committees/associations?
Some of the problems with City's plan attachment 6-3:
1. Takes land from citizens. Lawyer Leahy says it won't but that's just lawyer Leahy
talking. After the City uses the 17 feet it will waht yet more for asetback and right of way. It
seems the fust item is always: how can the City take private land?
2. Breech of contract. When the citizens paid for the sidewalks et al, and gave up property
the government said that would be the end of it.
3, The City says the developer will pay. The City said the taxpayers would pay, Which is
it?
4, The roundabout creates wasted space.
5, There is no safe, or no way period in heavy traffic, to exit the access lane, Moving
traffic will not stop, especially in the middle .of a long stretch of road.
"
6. ' No way to cross the road. Besides children and the elderly !here are several residents
confmed to wheelchairs. They may want to shop at "Lowe's." '
7. Problems with emergency vehicles attempting to enter narrow access lanes - mail
delivery problem. "
8. Huge costs to tear-up and replace sidewalks and underground utilities. SUB's utility
poles subject to another email.
The problems with applicant's plan:
,.
a. Not enough lanes for traffic flow - traffic will back-up longh than projected due to
length of trucks with trailers, trucks to and from Borden's, Roseboro, Wallmart, Jerry's Coast to
Coast, Winco, National Guard, Kingsford, Reeds, etc. The traffic 'studies missed this.
b. Too many entrances onto Marcola Road.
c. No turn lanes.
Solutions:

- 'J -." :
Add a lane of traffic from 19th to 28th on the North side creating three lanes and a center
. lane, and add turn lanes. There is nothing on the north side to move. The utility poles have
already been moved to the south side. Martin Drive (who is Martin?) has two proposed
entrances, one on 31 st and one on Marcola. One entrance on Marcola could feed all the traffic
allowing for one less intersection and free more land for commerdial use. Having traffic lights
is more beneficial to merchants as it tends to feed more cUstomers than if they just zoomed by
without stoppmg. .
Evervone outside city staff says a roundabout should go in at 28th and Marcola and that
the City's plan is crazy. (And 19th/Q Streef/Marcola Road) The City says it's too expensive to
remove the traffic light. How many millions of dollars is the roundabout going to cost in the
middle of Marcola between the two traffic lights? And what about traffic light maintenance
over the years? And all the roundabout will do is feed traffic in the middle so it backs-up in
the middle from the two traffic lights at the ends. . " .

Subject: "Where does the water come from" ~ part two
Sent:
To:
There flows an irrigation ditch (named as we knew it from 1953) through the property
formerly known as the Pierce property and now the proposed Villages at Marcola meadows.
During the hearings before the planning commission all references to the waterway were
directed to young Matt Stouder:PW Engineer. During the last hearing the commission,asked,
"Where'does the water come from?" The staff pointed at young Matt as the expert who stood
, up and answered, "I don't know." At least he was honest.
,
Wes Swanger and I spend over two hours on Tuesday, January IS and one-half hour on
Thursday, January 17 going through files. How much time did ilie planning commission spent
collectively? In the files is a terrific study by Branch Engineering commissioned and paid for
by the applicant addressing this waterway. There are photographs going back to the 1930's. It
was accurate and complete. I would have liked to have had more. time to study it.
i:
. .'
The point, in a nutshell, is shame on the city of Springfield's "staff. The amount of paper
work reqUired and generated is obscene. No one is ever going to read it all much less
understarid it. It is beyond all common sense. As example you should try and read the traffic
studies (not the summations). . , i:

Before the last planning commission hearing I sent the planning commission an email.
At the beginning of this hearing everyone declared they received it as ex parte. Some said they
deleted it, some said they forwarded it to the Secretary.. When it was sent to the secretary
before the hearing didn't it become subject to public information imd thusly no longer ex
I parte? If lawyer Leahy provides it to lawyer Spickerman is it still ex parte?
Only Beyers implied he didn't read it. During an exchange between Beyers and the
president of the commission they both began repeatedly back and forth referring to Marcola
Road as Mohawk Road. It has not been called Mohawk Road in decades, except for me in that
email I sent. So did they read it before the hearing or not?

To:
Toward the end of the last of the planning commission hearings on the proposed Villiages at
Marcola Meadows commissioner Beyers, speaking on behalf of the commissioners, said that
traffic is on no concern at all in that like water traffic will simply flow to the areas of least
resistance. I propose that the City learn what those other avenues, will be by simply blocking
off Marco1a Road with concrete barriers for a week, like a Shasta'Dam, and discover where the
traffic will go.

Re: Gary Karp, Villages at Marcola Meadows, failure to give notice
In an attempt to curtail back door and behind closed doors deals Oregon law attempts to
, ,
dictate how the cities must inform'the public of their decision-making processes, The law
states, among other things, that property owners within 300 feet of the proposed land use
'change must be informed by mail. Property owners 301 feet and beyond, and residents within
and beyond the 300 feet are to be infomled by the posting of a notice on the subject property.
This law is including in the Springfield Code. Gary Karp admits ~at this law was not

of tasks to be completed before permission is given. The City requites that the applicant
complete these tasks and requires that the applicant submits to the City that those requirements

with, staff and/or administration.
In response to my appeal Gary Karp states that these requirements that the City applies to

the city allow and to whom? Mr. Karp states that posting a notice as, required by law
informing non-property oWIiers 301 feet and beyond and residents within and beyond 300 feet
is not necessary because the applicant and not the City was required to do so. The applicant
and not the city was required to submit a permit from the Aimy Corp of Engineers, apply and
submit transportation studies, so on and so forth. Just because the City does not do a
requirement does not excuse the applicant from doing it. Usually,. ,
Mr. Karp states that the criteria of approval or conditions of approval were not
addressed. This would be impossible to address because GaryKarp failed to make a check-list
to mark off if Springfield's SDC 5.2-115 was done. Mr. Karp argiles that because notice was

states that a person who had no notice should have made an appearance and preserved on the

I confumed today with Wes Swanger and Nancy Falk, and you may do so, that the city
of Springfield said that the City plans to pay for the changes to PIe sought side of
Marcola Road, that they "found money in.the budget," and that the City wanted to do
the construction on the south side so the City could "have control" over the
construction.
When the government billed the south side land owners for the sidewalks, et al, and
, moved the property lines and setbacks further to the south the government said that
"would be the end of it." It reminds me of what the governmen(told Chief Joseph and
the rest of the Indians when their land was taken.

"SpriIi.gfield caught in a street fight" Monday, January 14, 2008, The Register-Guard:
"
"Springfieliofficials find that surprising .. . . "
"But Belle dropped a bombshell on the city last week when he toqk the unusual step of formally
asking the City Council to review a December planning commiss'ion ruling that allows
construction to begin on Springfield's first large-scale mixed-use"project. "
"City officials say they were caught off guard by the complaint"
. Really?
"Last week" would be January 7-12. On December 31, 2007 the 'City called for a meeting of
the Marcola Road residents for January 2, 2008 and at this meeting those representing the City
told the room that their information led them to believe that an appeal by the developer would
be filed; that any subsequent appeals over the highway plan may ,be for naught.

To Karen Lafleur:
1banks for your reply. I was not able to be free on Friday, January 4, 2008. I will not be
free on Monday morning, January 7, 2008.
Today, Friday January 4, 2008 at about 4:20 p.m. I presented the appeal of the "'Villages'
at Marcola Meadows" Master Plan Type III application, LRP 2007-00028, decision of 12-20-
07. The young woman at the front desk didn't know what it was or what to do with it. You
came out from around the corner, I didn't see anyone call for you, and began to tell'me that,
what else?, you needed money, "a cheque." I advised you were not going to receive one. You
asked if there were different people on the appeal and I answered there were. You proclaimed
that you needed them to pay separately a separate appeal fee. I said not so fast. I called
attention to the cover memorandum and said that Karp said the fee was $250 but the way I
read it the appeal fee was $2,254. 'You said, "That's right." (In my ';'~p,;,.:ence Karp mis-
stating facts appears to be a gift) I then pointed out that with five people you are demanding a
total of $6,762 for the appeal and you indicated that was correct. I responded that the legal
system may have to decide. I pointed to the request for the appeals fee to be waved and that
pursuant to'Oregon Statute this is being submitted under the North Springfield Citizens'
Committee.which has been duly recognized as such by the City. As I was walking out the door
you said you "couldn't guarantee anything" and I replied that I "was shocked."
