Subject: transfer of development rights
Dear Sirs
I want to thank you for considering my suggestion to transfer development rights from
McGlashan Springs to another of your properties on you May 16th meeting. I also want to
apologize for not being there in person; this morning we are leaving on a trip to
Charleston SC that was planned months ago.
I hope that you will act favorably on this idea. It will allow you to realize value from
Mc Glashan Springs and enhance the value of another one of your properties. The money you
realize from this transaction will probably be significantly more at the other location
than it would at McGlashan springs iin part because development rights closer to the
center of town will be more valuable than development rights in a remote, harder to
develop area. In addition, the Town is likely to provide a multiplier so one development
right in the original location will become perhaps 3-7 development rights in the new
location.
I believe that this proposal meets the need of the PUD for revenue and the desire of many
of your customers to preserve a environmentally and historically rich area for the benefit
of the community.
Thank you very much for your consideration
John Eaton

Subject: Transfer of development rights
John,
Attached are the following documents:
• E-mail from John Eaton to Barbara Cahill suggesting the transfer of
McGlashan development rights to District's Euer Valley Road property
• Map of McGlashan property
• Map of Euer Valley Road property
We look forward to you attending our Board meeting on May 16 to discuss the
possibilities and process for making such a transfer. We hope you will be able to
inform us as to any issues that we need to understand so we proceed prudently.

Hi Barbara
I am very sorry that I will not be able to get to the PUD meeting Wednesday night, and appreciate that you will
give the following message to the Board.
I have a suggestion by which they can raise more funds on the sale of their properties east of Coyote Moon:
Transfer the development rights from Mc Glashan Springs to these properties, Not only will the development
rights be more valuable in this location closer to the center of town, but the Town will most likely multiply the
rights by a factor of 3-7 markedly increasing their value. This increased value could not be realized by selling
McGlashan springs as is, especially considering the environmental, historical and archeological constraints.
This will not only raise more money for the PUD, but please the many people in town who, like me, would love
to see McGlashan springs remain open space. The absence of development rights would not preclude selling
it or transferring it to an organization such as Rec and Park or the Land Trust.
Thank you very much for your consideration
John Eaton
