10Medford filed lawsuit against CFA.
They are apparently coming up with
their own plan but nobody knows
what that is. Planning is the future and
nobody what will happen10No mention of reducing
methane gas. I saw where
Eugene has passed a law to
reducing methane hookup for
new houses.Bruce Bauer [email protected]
0One of the four greenhouse gasses is
H2O ad a high density "development"
would enhance a urban heat island.
This thermal pollution would disrupt
the daily weather patterns affecting
downwind community and magnetic
field disruptions annually. 3Consider passing legislation
barring unrestrained planning
and development instead a
scientific approach with tech
advancements and control.
share great democratic values

10 Getting effective ordinances in place. 7Getting buy-ins from existing
owners. Getting commitment
from developers. I think something could be done
here to make it more of a
neighborhood. I.e. small stores,
coffee shop - put business in
areas where folks can meet and
communicate. Maybe a house
could be turned into a shop.
Could a house be turned into a
meeting place.
10Croman area has potential for a
variety of living spaces. Hopefully
greenspace included. Solar rooftops,
providing charging for EV's.How to reduce the visual impact
of cars (e.g. in driveways, on
streets. I really like allec access
to garages leaving front of
homes for walking, biking, etc.
creates a buffer between
structures. when discussing "climate-
friendly" it makes sense to
maintain southern exposure
whenever possible - also,
beneficial in planting pollinating
beds (flowery native plants)Nick and Sooney Viani [email protected]
10Railroad yes. No not growing unless it
gets retail with housing. bank has
always been and remains a big
obstacle.7These already exist. The two
primary areas already have city
master plans.Include all areas on the existing
RVTD bus route and the yet to
be developed/redeveloped East
Main St. Ashland St has large
parking areas that should see #
of spaces reduced or
consolidated. [email protected]
10Railroad property should be given top
priority whereas the Croman Mill
property is suburban sprawl with
limited services. Such services will be
extremely burdensome on City
budgets whereas services to the
Railroad property abut the property
from four sides. The Railroad property
is within a 5 minute walk to all
essential services, primary parks and
schools whereas the Croman property
requires significantly more miles to
travel to the City's center putting a
burden on City roads and constrained
parking. I would consider Railroad
property #1 priority, the Transit
Triangle area #2, Downtown #3 and
the Croman property #4. 10Both are logical, but again, I feel
both should be considered
primary before the Croman Mill
property. No. Thank you Mark Knox [email protected]
