<br />LAW OFFICE OF BILL KLOOS PC <br />OREGON LAND USE LAW <br />TH <br />375 W. 4AVENUE, SUITE 204 BILL KLOOS <br />EUGENE, OR 97401 BILLKLOOS@LANDUSEOREGON.COM <br />TEL: 541.343.8596 <br />WEB: WWW.LANDUSEOREGON.COM <br /> <br />June 27, 2017 <br /> <br />Eugene City Council <br />c/o Terri Harding <br />th <br />99 W. 10 Avenue <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br />Lane County Board of Commissioners <br />c/o Lydia McKinney <br />th <br />125 E. 8 Avenue <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br />Re: Envision Eugene Adoption Hearing <br /> Comments of Home Builders Association of Lane County (HBA) <br /> <br />Councilors and Commissioners: <br /> <br />Please accept this letter, along with the accompanying Summary Table of Issue and supporting <br />exhibits, on behalf of the HBA. <br /> <br />The HBA has been involved in this process from the beginning.
