Please take just a few <br />minutes to browse through the attached PowerPoint slides that cover the community process and a general <br />"tour" of the zone as it was proposed by the community. Subsequent to this presentation, JWN neighborhood <br />leaders worked with city staff to refine the proposal that was then reviewed and recommended for adoption <br />by the Planning Commission. <br />In contrast to JWN leaders and members doing real work engaging the community and logging the many, <br />many hours in the community and with city staff, task forces and the Planning Commission to produce a <br />thoughtful, pragmatic and widely-supported solution to future residential development in our neighborhood <br />the "we know best" cadre hasn't done a single thing other than pontificating about what the council should <br />impose on residents of Eugene's neighborhoods. <br />Please demonstrate that you understand and appreciate the difference between the community's interests <br />and efforts and the attacks on our work and community by this small, opaque group of zealots who could <br />care less about anyone's opinions but their own. <br />Thank you, <br />Paul <br />Accredited Earth Advantage <br />Sustainable Homes Professional <br />
