Comment on Piedmont Trees Inventory by Brian Borrello

Donna,
You may make an appeal to BDS to reject the Dozer subdivision proposal. A signed petition from the immediate neighbors asking for appropriate design features and saving the trees might influence the builder and the city agency. I personally feel that this type of high density development- zero lot-line set-back, no yards or permeable green space, lack of regard for existing neighborhood context such as facades, textures, architectural styles, set-backs- is out of character with our neighborhood, and does add burden to resources like parks and parking. A common complaint with these type of developments is the “kit” style building plan that does not distinguish between corner and mid-block, so the corner house presents a facade and a “blank” side to the neighborhood (ie, fairly recent construction w/ “blank faces” along Rosa Parks Way). The trees are beautiful, older trees- Douglas fir, cherry, etc, that offer a picturesque view and are of a size and cluster that is rare in Piedmont and north Portland. They will likely be cut unless permits are refused. Sometimes trees can receive “heritage tree” designation, but the city forester won’t do that assessment again until 2014- too late. The builder might be persuaded to save them if there is demonstrable value to his bottom line, so perhaps see http://www.iTree.org, an on-line resource w/ free app for assessing $ values of trees.

Piedmont folks beware…Dozer Construction is buying properties in the neighborhood and building infill houses, calling them subdivisions…their latest is at 203 N Holland, where they plan to build 5 houses on a lot that originally has held one small home…the lots will be nothing but houses, no yards and increase the street parking by 10+ plus cars on a busy corner street. They also plan to remove the 100 yr old trees from the back yard. How can we stop this!

From: Civic Food Mart-I’m Seoung.

I wish to seek advice.
From 2008 to 2013, less than 6% of alcohol and glass bottle Beer didn’t sell.
Meanwhile, neighbors customer has changed too much.
New customer requests increased I could not wait anymore.
The time of license renewal, was a reconsideration request to the OLCC.
Subsequently received a new license.
New license there was no limit.
So from 01/16/2013 8.09% can beer & Glass bottle beer was sold.
03/06/2013 & 03/18/2013 Twice-Have been subsequently changed for no apparent reason License.
The next day I have to immediately contact the delivery company salesman.
Glass beer and can beer more than 8% return measures.
That relationship look like with a little loss of beer sales.
OLCC to suddenly License has been changed Then I email to request reconsideration.
Why all of a sudden the license has not changed, does not provide a description.
I glass bottle beer 12 oz 6 pack & 22 oz single for sale service until 9:30 pm and would like to be.
Your Neighborhood Association officials would like to hear a request for advice.
If the problem does not occur,
I would like to have the opportunity to sell service.
I look forward to your valuable feedback ..

Comment on Lombard Blvd Study by Emilie Saks-Webb

I would very much like to see some kind of consistent aesthetic on Lombard. At least from MLK into St Johns– but it would be wonderful for that aesthetic to be continued on the otherside of MLK. Lighting, for example? I was just speaking with someone about this the other night– and they referenced the work that has been done on Grand and on MLK— all of the way south.

Please keep us posted on this!
