I was very surprised and extremely disappointed to learn that the City Council voted in favor of measure LU 23-
0002, which will allow a developer to use the back part of Waluga West Park in order to connect a proposed
development to connect to city sewer services.
Proposal LU 23-0002 will certainly damage existing habitat, and the removal of 43 trees in that area is a travesty.
The citizens of Lake Oswego voted overwhelmingly for Measure 3-568 to prevent all development that is
inconsistent with the preservation of Lake Oswego's Nature Preserves as natural areas.
Perhaps the City Council didn't realize how strongly the Lake Oswego residents felt about preserving these natural
areas. It's not a real good idea to go against the will of the people.
It should be obvious that constructing a 17' wide x 525' long road, the removal of trees, and the disturbance to the
designated wetlands in Waluga Park - West to facilitate trenching and installation of a sewer line for a private
developer is not, in any way, what the majority of Lake Oswego voters want to see happen.
I certainly hope that the Development Review Commission and the City Council will reverse the recent LU 23-0002
decision.
