From:Liz Cawood <br />To:BERNARD Dana M <br />Subject:Support for Ferry Street Manor MUPTE applicatoin <br />Date:Friday, May 10, 2019 2:36:42 PM <br />The need for housing in the downtown area is well-known. The Bennett’s proposal to build on <br />property they’ve owned for years provides housing in a very walkable area close to <br />downtown. It is also well-served by transit and bike lanes. <br />This development will make good use of space that has historically been a parking lot by <br />converting it into 50-unit apartment building that includes workforce housing. Certainly, the <br />project meets MUPTE criteria, while supporting compact urban growth. <br />The Bennett family has a long-history of managing residential properties in our area; they take <br />a long-term approach and build to hold, not to sell. That ensures quality construction, as well <br />as a long-term commitment to the well-being of our community. <br />I salute the Bennett family for proposing a way to increase downtown housing and support the <br />MUPTE application for Ferry Street Manor. <br />Liz Cawood, APR, President <br />541.484.7052, Ext. 1  <br />1200 High Street, Suite 200  <br />Eugene, OR 97401  <br />Facebook | CAWOOD.com <br />September 11, 2019, Work Session – Item 1
