I oppose the land use notice for the reduction of the driveway located at 815 Cascade DR NW. The city code is specific for a reason and this lot should not have been built on the way the novice contractor did so. The city acknowledges that the foundation was built too close to the right of way on the steep hill. Cascade Dr NW at this location has a sweeping blind curve with a steep hill which the city wants to allow the novice builder to minimize the driveway from city code from. City employee's email's via a public records request.

I spoke with the owner.. very kind and understanding... She is wondering if there is a possibility of being able to move in while the land use stuff is going on.. I told her no... its way too convoluted and difficult approval and wouldnt want to say possibly the kick them out... Do you have anything else to add with regards to this?

These email exchanges/complaints are about the lack of due diligence from the City of Salem regarding the carving into a hillside by a novice builder which the city is well aware of and in my opinion, has disregarded based on previous public records requests as it relates to the now standing unoccupied structure. My concerns as you know relate to these addresses being located on a hillside adjacent to my property and an extremely uphill neighbor which the City of Salem continually dismisses. I won't belabour the back and forth email exchanges etc for hillside slippage the City mentions. I have attached an email exchange from your TOP persons, which you most likely know about as it had to be cleared by "legal." I am most concerned about the required removal (after the city approval) of a covered drainage ditch with the verbiage of a possible "engineered stormwater.." abutting my property. You made mention in previous email correspondence between yourself and I that you would keep me updated. This has not occurred. I have attached the public records request email to this correspondence to refresh your memory. I'd appreciate keeping myself updated regarding the novice builders' continued skirting of the City of Salem building codes which the city seems to keep ignoring. I have again requested email public records requests. Thanks in advance." Again, I oppose the reduction of the driveway at 815 Cascade Dr NW Salem at this dangerous location.
