Planning <br /> - EUQENE & Development <br /> Planning <br /> September 27, 1993 City of Eugene <br /> 777 Pearl Street <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> Mr. Steve DePalma (503) 687 -5481 <br /> c/o Northwest Business Investments <br /> 889 Randall Street <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> Dear Mr. DePalma, <br /> Our office was recently development fth elo ment (terracing and vegetation removal) that <br /> has begun on Tax Lot 400, ha is located in the northwest corner of the East Skinner Butte <br /> Historic District. .. . ea is historically significant for its association with Eugene Skinner, <br /> the subsequ - • . evelopment of the City of Eugene, and the concentration of residential <br /> archi . • e that is located in the historic district directly south of your property. As a <br /> property owner in the historic district you are required to submit the Historic Alteration <br /> Application Permit for New Construction, as mandated by the Eugene Code, Section <br /> 9.210(2). <br /> We are sure that you will be interested to know that much of Eugene's early history occurred <br /> in the area that you are in the process of developing. In addition to early commerce, <br /> manufacturing and milling operations the area was significant for its association with the <br /> Depression Era "Make Work Programs" of the Roosevelt years. For at least four years the <br /> Civilian Conservation Corps had a camp in the present day park. The Douglas fir trees that <br /> you have retained on your hillside property were undoubtedly planted as part of the CCC <br /> reforestation program, aimed at erosion control, creation of wildlife habitat, and scenic and - <br /> park enhancements throughout the nation. <br /> Included here is the Historic Property Alteration General Information Sheet and Application. <br /> We should set up a time so we can meet and conduct a Pre - development conference so that <br /> we can understand your plans and design proposal for the site. New development in the <br /> district is subject to Ordinance 18371. The City will not be able to issue a building permit <br /> until this application is processed, which can take up to 30 days. <br /> If you have further question I am available at 687 -5481. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kenneth Guzowski <br /> Planner <br /> cc: Teresa Bishow Marsha Miller John Etter <br /> Jim Croteau John Weber./ <br /> Jerry Jacobson Kent Howe <br /> enclosures <br />
