From:Anthony Rosta <br />To:HARDING Terri L; <br />In support of S-JW special area zone code amendments <br />Subject: <br />Monday, November 16, 2009 10:00:06 AM <br />Date: <br />Ms. Harding: please convey to the Mayor and Councilors this message: Thanks. <br />November 16, 2009 <br />Madame Mayor and Councilors: I ask that you approve Eugene Code changes <br />with respect to the S-JW special area zone, the subject of a public hearing this <br />evening. I will attend, but will not speak, so I wanted to send this message to <br />you. <br />As a long-time Jefferson Westside neighbor ( West 11th Avenue and Adams <br />Street since 1987) and as a current JWN executive board member-at-large, I <br />have seen and participated in the work our neighbors have put into coming up <br />with what we think is a comprehensive and workable set of rules that will allow <br />and reasonably regulate an increase in density in our neighborhood in the <br />coming year without sacrificing those qualities of our neighborhood which attract <br />new people to it. As a lawyer, I have been impressed with the careful and <br />thoughtful construction of this proposal by our very involved neighbors in a <br />manner that I think will make it work legally and practically. I suspect this level <br />of grassroots-up legislation puts Eugene in one of the highest percentiles of <br />citizen involvement in U.S. communities, and I think we should be proud of that. <br />I hope you will each vote for this proposal in its entirety. Thank you. <br />Anthony T. Rosta <br />871 West 11th Avenue, <br />Eugene, 97402 <br />
