I will be there if I am able at the time, and will speak.

Ted Puntillo's comments are very misguided. To burden a section of town 
that has some of the smallest lots in the City with further development and 
'densification' is just sick.

If the Council wants to prevent more farmland from being inundated with 
housing, it should mandate smaller lot sizes in new developments.  If it 
wants more affordable housing, it should mandate smaller lot sizes combined 
with with a reasonable Floor Area Ratio.

The Staff Report says that most of Old North lots are below the standard 
for size for R-2 zoning.  Anyone know where Ted Puntillo lives? Maybe we 
can find out what the lot sizes are there - perhaps it's a good candidate 
for 'up-zoning'!

Seriously, if anyone can provide me with addresses (or at least neighbor  
hoods) for all the City Council members, I can use that for illustration in 
my presentation (if I should make one ;-).  I have parcel map data for most 
of the City on my computer.
