Subject: Crowne on Timberline
Dear Seth,
I attended the neighborhood meeting last night about the development plans for Crowns on Timberline and would
like to make some comments and suggestions. My husband and I own a condo in the first building at the Timbers,
directly across the street from the proposed development.
1. The overall density seems quite high and the 3 story buildings will add a lot of people and cars, as well blocking
mountain views. There was talk of 'feathering' to blend the apartments and townhouse with the existing homes. It
would be a big improvement to lower the height of Building #2 to two stories to reduce the height and density,
preserving views somewhat.
2. Traffic is a big problem already on this part of Timberline, and we already drive through West Chase to make a left
turn due to traffic density. The proposed light at Zephyr should be installed asap, and attention paid to the
elementary school crossing.
3. Extend the bike path as originally proposed across the railroad and into the Zephyr area to allow safe off ‐road
travel in the south side. My husband riders his bike to work, and Timberline is quite busy, making it nervewracking
and dangerous to be on the road and to cross over to the wide sidewalk/bike lane near Harmony. Additional
construction and resident traffic from the several nearby neighborhoods will create a larger danger to bicyclists.
Thank you for your assistance on these matters.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Paarlberg
