I've <br />lived in the area under consideration for 14 years, and I'm a member of the <br />neighborhood group CAFHN, which worked hard to help develop a proposal that is <br />consistent with the character of this neighborhood while allowing for appropriate <br />infill. I use the word "appropriate," because many of us got involved in this <br />project to attempt to stem the spread of inappropriate, primarily out-of-scale, <br />infill that has plagued our neighborhood for some time. The proposal before the <br />council would create reasonable limits on the type of infill allowed, while still <br />allowing for the increased density that infill makes possible. One of the criteria <br />especially important to me, and I believe to others in the neighborhood, is the <br />preservation of the green space in back and side yards that is characteristic of <br />this mature neighborhood and that we value highly. We spend a lot of time living in <br />and maintaining those areas. This is part of the character of the neighborhood and <br />is, in my opinion, key to what makes this neighborhood a neighborhood and not just <br />a collection of dwelling units. <br />Again, I urge your support. <br /> <br />John Russial <br />941 Almaden St. <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> <br />11/7/2005 <br />
