7:15 Introduce John Fall Chair of Land Use
Land Use Report
John explains how we need to meet with the architect again. The workshops
Will in inform us about how those two blocks are designed for taller
buildings. They will be taking pictures and showing us maps and help us
brainstorm about what people what to see and don’t want to see.
It’s a tool to get everyone’s input so we will have a sense of what people
want when we meet with the developers.
Fliers were offered to everyone there about the workshop so members could
help pass them out.
Report on the neighborhood tour with Debbie Bishoff the city planner.
The condition of the commercial
buildings on Killingsworth are because the area was zoned residential, and the
buildings there are grandfathered in and when those business’s close, others
can’t move in. That zoning needs to be changed. (It was done 20 years ago).
Suggested by Crystal to have someone like Craig talk with the business
owners along this area and see if they would make any changes if they could.
7:30 Willie Brown was scheduled but it was a no show.
7:45 Rob presents draft letter for churches and non profits asking for a representative.
Letter from Rob is passed out to take a look at. Larry suggests we drop it off at business’s along Killingsworth. He volunteered to take the letters to those business’s. Crystal will do the churches, and Lindy said she would do the non-profits.
Mark Downing introduces a friend of his who is a architect and was involved in a Sellwood area and designed the Tea Houses and had a big hand in the ReBuilding Center. He has some ideas about what makes a community. Mark Downing will talk with him and see if his vision would help us in any way. www.Cityrepair.org is where you can find out more information about Mark Lakeman. Next general meeting is Oct 10th and Mark D. agreed to get hold of Mark L. and see if he can come to the next meeting.
