MCKINNEY L~/dia S <br /> <br />From: Linda J. Swisher [Iswisher@efn.org] <br />Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 12:33 PM <br />To: lydia.s.mckinney@ci.eugene.or, us <br />Cc: NLC <br />Subject: Proposed changes to Laurel Hill Refinement Plan <br /> <br />To whom it concerns: <br /> <br />The proposed amendment to Laurel Hill Valley's adopted refinement plan has recently been <br />discussed among the Neighborhood Leaders Council members. I urge Council Members to not <br />approve this significant alteration of a standing refinement plan, <br /> <br />If City staff can forward such developer-initiated proposals to change refinement plans <br />and successfuly assist in getting them passed, despite valid objections from the <br />neighborhood involved, all of Eugene's refinement plans are potentially in danger of <br />failing to serve as the bulwark they are in part designed to be--to protect our <br />communities from just this kind of unwarranted land use intrusion. <br /> <br />It is especially trying that as citizens we so often have to scramble to oppose what <br />appears to be city staff pro-development bias, in order to protect residents' rights to <br />manage the growth of their own neighborhoods according to long-accepted public regulatory <br />documents. <br /> <br />Linda Swisher <br />Bethel Team member <br /> <br /> <br />
