HANSEN Alissa H From:Laura K. Illig <lillig@selco.org> Sent:Monday, November 14, 2016 4:51 PM To:*Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager Subject:Action on a Measure 49 claim Dear Mayor and City Councilors, I understand that the City Manager has recommended that Council approve tonight a Measure 49 claim that might negate all R-1 code amendments that provide protection against incompatible infill in three close-in neighborhoods: SUNA, Fairmount and Amazon. I am writing to urge you to NOT take action tonight –especially since you have until January 2017 to respond- and instead to have significantly more public notice and conversation before hastily taking such impactful action. It is completely unacceptable – even if it meets some minimal legal standard – to provide zero notice to or opportunity for input from affected neighborhoods about such a claim. Our close-in neighborhoods are already under siege, and managing a precarious balance of renters, apartments and single-family homes. Sometimes it feels as if Eugene’s goal is to completely destroy and drive homeowners out of precisely the “20-minute neighborhoods” that Envision Eugene espouses and instead create more neighborhoods that will require increased police action and code enforcement (such as West University) and reduce livability for everyone. I strongly urge you NOT to take action tonight, and instead to involved and engage neighborhoods appropriately in such a significant and far-reaching decision.
