Time line ticking!

VNA Land Use Committee Members:

We need to move the VNA Land Use Committee meeting up one week to Wednesday, August 30th due to the following turn of events --

As a representative of the Vernon Neighborhood Association Land Use Committee, today I received the formal Neighborhood Contact Requirement letter from the developer of the NE 20th/Alberta property.

We now have 14 days from the date of the receipt of the letter (August 23) to respond in writing, and 45 days from that same date to meet with the applicant/developer. Portland City Planner Justin Fallon Dollard clarified this timeline for me.

Our next scheduled meeting (Sept 6) falls at the very end of the 14-day period.

Given this turn of events, I am suggesting that we move the meeting date of the Land Use Committee up by one week to Wednesday, August 30th, at 7 p.m. We can host at 4823 NE 20th.

The main agenda of the meeting will be to decide when and how we meet with the developer, which should be the subject of our response letter.

Please communicate this new meeting date to any other VNA Land Use Committee members, Vernon Association Committee members or any residents or business owners in the Vernon neighborhood, all of whom have a stake in property development and planning.

And please feel free to call me if you have questions or concerns.

Thanks,

John Fall
VNA Land Use Committee Chair
