RE: Case number SUB2007-00027
Thank you for provid~ng comments on this development proposal.
included in the staff report and decision on this application.
mailed a copy of the decision when it i~ issued.
Some of your concerns can be addressed through Planning approval conditions and
Development Code requireme~ts, but some are related to the activities of property owners
(or tenants/visitors,) and would be considered enforcement issues. If you have specific
concerns about trespass onto your property or illegal activity in your neighborhood, I
would encourage you _to'cont~ct the City's Code Enfor~ement division (eg. improper use of
private property, derelict vehicles, neglected properties, dumping of trash, etc.) or
Springfield Police (crime-rel~ted issues) . .
Your feedback will be
Additionally, you will be
The City will recommend to the developer that a uniform screening fence is installed along
the south property line to address' the concerns about broken and missing fencing between
the two properties. Typically, fencing is a civil issue that is handled by adjoining
property owners. The City has regulations for the height and style of fencing, but
construction and maintenance of fences are' the responsibility of the benefiting property
owners - in this case both the proposed development site and your property. There will be
a requirement for joint maintenance agreements for the private driveways and utilities
'serving the subdivision area, and fencing could be included in this agreement if the
developer chooses this option.
Regarding South 42nd Street, the City is currently undertaking a Capital Improvement
Project to widen the street and add curb, gutter, sidewalks, street lighting and other
improvements to handle the increased traffic. Because this street is designated as a
minor arterial road in the City's street hierarchy system, it is expected ~hat most
traffic from the adjacent neighborhood (including the proposed subdivision area) will be
directed to this road and out to Main Street/I-5 or south to Jasper Road'.
I hope this addresses your questions and there will be a formal response to your comments
in the staff report that is prepared for this application. If you have any further
questions please contact me by email or at 726-3784 direct.
Sincerely,
Andy Limbird
City of Springfield

Re: Don Haase/Twin Butte Mortgage
Property at 232 So. 42nd St.
Received notice of subdivision plan application on this property.
My parents live at 276 S, 42nd and my brother and I are also listed On the deed to this
property.
My main concern about this development is that it not become a run down dump that the
development on. Bluebell has become where drug dealers, and pets are a large problem. The
properties on Bluebell have not been kept up and are in very poor condition. The fence
separating those properties and where my parents live has been falling down for years.

Kids and pets trespass through the borken fence leaving messes and sometimes damages. My
- parents are elderly and not able to do everything for themselves.
Will there be a fence separating this new development from my parents proper,ty and will
there be some ordinances for maintenance ?
I think it is a real mistake to add more traffic to the already busy south 42nd St.
Sincerely,
Janet Tong
