Comments I oppose LU 23-0002 and request the DRC reject LU 23-0002 on the premise the
sewer line through Waluga Park-West violates the voter-approved Nature
Preserve land use regulations expressed in the City Charter: Chapter X- Park
Development Limitation.
I am dismayed that Lake Oswego City staff and City Council would blatantly make
decisions that disregard and ignore the votes of citizens. It appears that the City
government is favoring developers'interests rather than representing those who
live,work, and vote in Lake Oswego. I worry that a precedent will be set for
continued disregard of citizens'expressed interests.
West Waluga Park currently provides numerous habitat and ecological benefits.
Natural areas also contribute well-documented psychological and emotional
benefits. Constructing a 17'wide x 525' long road,the removal of 14 established
trees, and the severe disturbance to the designated wetlands in Waluga Park-
West to facilitate trenching and installation of a sewer line for a private developer,
yet alone the City, IS NOT PERMITTED in City Charter: Chapter X The City should
pursue other alternatives.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Cassandra Platz
