At the same time, I support the need for greater density so as to <br />support functional public transit. But why do these developments in Eugene always seem to be <br />carried out by out-of-town or out-of-state developers? Is there no one in Eugene capable of <br />building multi-unit housing? And what about truly visionary developments - taking into <br />consideration the precarious state of "civilization"? For example, the insistence on off-street <br />parking flies right in the face of Climate Change. We will be running out of fossil fuels within the <br />projected lifespan of any new construction. Are provisions being made for food production, <br />renewable energy, rainwater collection, composting, community, resource sharing, etc? Insisting <br />that the "wise and invisible hand of the free market" should decide things for us is <br />ridiculous. Please bring a degree of vision and leadership to the development process. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert Bolman <br />The Lombard development proposal needs to be denied due to: <br />Lack of compliance with “clear & objective” standards of the Eugene code as evidenced by the applicant’s numerous <br />requests for adjustments. <br />Lack of traffic analysis for the dangerous implications of increased usage of River Road and adjacent neighborhood lanes. <br />Public lands need public process! Thank you for your consideration of this request to protect our precious Willamette River <br />Greenway. <br />1 <br /> <br />
