Co-housing is a wonderful model, and if six families wish to <br />develop the site, .I believe the neighborhood could handle that amount of infrastructure and traffic. However, the <br />current proposal of 29 condominiums and 47 parking spaces is far too much for the neighborhood to bear. The <br />general principles of co-housing suggest a neighborly and respectful use of resources but Oakleigh <br />development co-housing project has clearly turned a blind eye.to the people already living nearby. It bodes ill. <br />In addition, there is no guarantee that the co-housing project will be sustainable, and then the neighborhood will <br />be left with a complex of 29-plus rental properties, a lousy prospect for imnnediate neighbors, and for all those <br />who walk and pedal by on the river path. <br />Ms. Taylor, please see that my opinion is expressed at the hearing. If this should go to a different off ice,. please <br />let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />Phyllis Temple <br />244 Loretta Way <br />Eugene, OR 97404 <br />phyllis <br />"No one can possibly knowwhat is about to happen.
