This project is the appropriate type of residential project to infill the R-1 site located within a <br />neighborhood that is comprised of residential homes. <br />The goal of this project is to create a livable community within the larger context of the city, add housing in <br />an existing residential neighborhood, and to preserve the qualities of the property that make it unique, while <br />accommodating the use allowed by the base zone. We believe that the quality of development that will be <br />attracted to this unique location will only serve to enhance the value of the existing neighborhood. <br />The scale of the buildings, the presence of other residents (`eyes on the street'), the preservation of large <br />areas of existing vegetation (over 30%), connection to abutting recreational resources, and its proximity to <br />open space and various modes of transportation, combine to make this project a positive addition to the <br />existing neighborhood. <br />The development of this property will enhance the aesthetic quality of this neighborhood, as well as add a <br />presence that precludes the use of this property for unlawful activities or otherwise unwelcome activities in <br />this neighborhood. <br />This development will increase the opportunity for others to enjoy this already special and unique <br />neighborhood, as well as allow for an opportunity to add more units at a time when housing is in short <br />supply. <br />We look forward to your review and comments, and trust that the design of this site meets the intent of the <br />code and serves to enhance to quality of life in Eugene. <br />If you have any questions or need additional clarification, please do not hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Schirmer Satre Group <br />Carol E.
