HANSEN Alissa H From:DAVIES Anne C Sent:Friday, January 06, 2017 1:15 PM To:HANSEN Alissa H Subject:FW: Existing dwelling on M49 lot exceeds 2013 max area From:PaulConte\[mailto:paul.t.conte@gmail.com\] Sent:Tuesday,November15,20169:57AM To:*EugeneMayor,CityCouncil,andCityManager<mayorcouncilandcitymanager@ci.eugene.or.us> Cc:EugeneNLC<eugenenlc@googlegroups.com> Subject:Re:ExistingdwellingonM49lotexceeds2013maxarea Councilors, As further follow-up for the record on the Wilson Measure 49 claim.
