2008/11/19 Council Agenda Packet

Planning Commission October 21, 2008 Pg. 5 Meeting Minutes workshops to review development guidelines and standards. He felt that there was far greater coverage of Broadway and the core residential standards. There was no postcard or letter to residents until the Historical Commission meeting. There are 1700 homes in the Riverside neighborhood and 20 to 30 citizens that normally go to neighborhood meetings. Mr. Eckert stated that there were an overwhelming number of citizens who did not want the zone south of Everett Avenue and the Historical Commission ignored their interests. The boundary does not include most of the historic homes on Leonard or Victor Place. In closing, Mr. Eckert felt that the proposal should be remanded back to the neighborhood and each property owner should be afforded the ability to provide input through more comprehensive workshops. 7:44:57 PM Tom Eiden, 2414 Baker Avenue, stated that he supports the proposal.

The guidelines help protect and preserve the neighborhood. 7:55:22 PM Michelle Spivey, 2808 19th Street, felt that it was important to restore / preserve historical neighborhoods. She encouraged supporting the historic overlay to California Street. 7:57:39 PM Roberta Goodwill, 2125 Virginia Avenue, stated that her home is on the Everett Register. The historic overlay zone would protect the character and unique quality of the neighborhood.
