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 preserve heat and emissions.Joseph Kauth [email protected] 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.

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]
