It was <br />taken without using any zoom function on the camera so that it best represents what can be seen <br />by someone looking up to that area. The existing home that resides at the highest elevation of 924' <br />has been there for roughly 100 years. In addition to the home, there is an existing carriage house <br />that has been used to both store vehicles and as a residence. <br />There is a bright white house that is visible. That is a house one street below the house on the <br />development site. <br />Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 m Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 <br />
