I am writing because I am unable to testify next Monday, so I hope that you will <br />please accept this testimony in support of the Skinner Butte Height Limitation, Gordon Hotel Sign and alley vacation <br />that will allow the 5 Street Public Market Expansion to proceed with the revitalization that is going on in the 5 <br />thth <br />Street area, near downtown. <br />I am a big supporter of downtown, which includes the Riverfront development, Market District neighborhood, and <br />Downtown Eugene, where I work every day and where our family owns a business. The stronger each of these <br />elements are, the stronger we are together. The Market Expansion will add economic vitality to our downtown, <br />bringing more jobs, visitors and foot traffic to the area. The height limit change will help us achieve our density goals. <br />I want to say a special word about the sign. As a marketing person, I know that signage is important. We lack sign <br />diversity in Eugene, and an exception to the code that allows us to incorporate this rooftop sign into the <br />development is not only warranted but should be applauded. Signs can communicate activity and vitality Ï just what <br />we need downtown. If you look at old photos of downtown, one thing youÔll notice is the collection and variety of <br />signs that signal that downtown has a lot going on. If you approve this exception, IÔm confident that when the <br />building is done weÔll be glad we did it. <br />Thank you for taking my viewpoint into consideration. <br /> CFMP <br />Jenny Bennett, <br />Vice President <br />Marketing & Business Development <br />96 E.
