ATTACHMENT 9 PREVIOUS PUBLIC COMMENTS August 22, 2007 Planning Commission Workshop 7 lot proposal Bud Barlow, of felt that the site should continue to conform to the Happy Valley Specific Plan and if subdivided into three parcels, each should be 2 -acres or more. Kevin Close, f spoke in opposition to this project. He noted that the Happy Valley Specific Plan has approved only three lots for this site with a minimum two -acre parcel size for each. He was concerned that reducing the two -acre minimum lot size to half -acre subdivisions would ruin the rural character of the Happy Valley area, and this would set a precedent for future developments in the area. Frank Imhof, spoke in opposition to this project and believed that the City should go back to the annexation agreement between the County and the City regarding the bypass road. He noted that this proposed subdivision would eliminate the minimum two -acre requirement form the Happy Valley Specific Plan. He requested that staff recognize the reason for the two -acre minimum. He was very concerned about the noise and traffic impacts resulting from this proposed project.

Mr. and Mrs. Jenson feel that increasing the proposed development would be inconsistent with the rural atmosphere of the Happy Valley area and surrounding development. They also stated that a portion of the property is located in an environmentally sensitive creek area and, therefore, not suitable for building. Please see the additional attachment for the Jenson's letter. Kevin Close, of t spoke with staff on December 1, 2008 stating his concerns about the proposed project.
