This would render virtually meaningless any new residential code or refinement plan policies that <br />implement the Envision Eugene pillar to "Protect, Repair and Enhance Neighborhood Livability." <br />Before so casually approving a resolution that would undo your prior work and thwart Envision <br />Eugene, you should give this claim the utmost scrutiny. <br />At the very least, you should get an independent pair of appraisals before approving any waiver, as <br />well as a financial analysis of alternative solutions. <br />Further, if a waiver is ultimately granted, the resolution must be much clearer and stronger in <br />preventing the use of this action as a legal precedent with sweeping implications for all recent and <br />future residential code provisions. <br />As you may recall, the Jefferson Westside Neighbors worked with the owner of a property on West <br />Tenth Ave. in JWN and the City attorney to jointly support a Measure 37 claim with very carefully <br />constructed resolution and a record that limited the impacts. <br />If the owners of the subject property in this claim have a reasonable case (and they may), then the <br />proper approach would be to work with the neighborhood organization and staff to craft a <br />comparable agreement among all parties. <br />Since I led the successful M37 claim process, I would be glad to offer suggestions or help in any <br />other way to reach a solution that is fair, sensitive to the community's greater good and which can <br />withstand legal challenge. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Paul Conte <br />1461 W. 10th Ave. <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />_________________ <br />2 <br /> <br />
