There appear to be eight or <br />nine dwelling structures with an undetermined number of dwelling units. <br />There is one traditional (pre-war) house facing Almaden Street. All the other <br />structures are oriented to an interior vehicle circulation, parking, and open <br />space area. Three of the structures are very large, new buildings, one of which <br />is almost three stories high. There are also three or four small, older dwellings <br />that appear in relatively poor condition. There is also a new straw bale house. <br />This development has essentially. no orientation to the street (other than the <br />original house on Almaden) and is atypical of any other part of the CR project <br />area. <br /> <br />The table below summarizes the current development on R-2 lots into broad <br />categories.

As explained later in this <br />report, some of these lots have been recently developed in ways that are <br />noticeably out of character with most of the original pre- and post-war <br />development in the area. <br /> <br />November 1, 2005 <br /> <br />Chambers Revisited - Neighbors' Report <br /> <br />33 <br />
