We love this neighborhood. Its got <br />charming older homes, beautiful greenscape, including many large trees, and great neighbors. <br />From our house we can walk downtown, to the library, and I walk or bicycle to work downtown <br />every weekday. <br /> <br />As you know, we are under the constant threat of negative infill which is seriously degrading the <br />neighborhood. Fortunately the City has been conducting the Chambers Revisited project in an <br />effort to put in place design standards that make sense, from the standpoint of preserving the <br />neighborhood character and allowing for infill that contributes in a positive way. I've been involved <br />with CAFHN in working with the City Planning Dept. in an effort to help define the design <br />standards. I think the standards put forth by the City Planning Dept. are appropriate for our <br />neighborhood, flexible, and in addition they meet all Metro and City density goals. Let me also say <br />that I found the process of working with the City Planners in defining the standards to be a positive <br />and encouraging experience. <br /> <br />I strongly urge you to support the Chambers Area Special Zone and adopt the standards. <br /> <br />Best Regards, <br /> <br />Steve Pringle <br />1457 W. 10th Ave <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> <br />11/7/2005 <br />
