Humboldt Neighborhood Chair Kurt Haapala supported infill housing projects that face the street until he looked at what was being built in his neighborhood on North Missouri Street ju s t North o f Killingsworth Avenue. con tin u ed fr o m M etro W hen the city first attem pted to “tam e” infill designs, standards w ere im posed aim ed at outlaw ing so-called “snout h ouses” w hose m ost prom inent feature w as a g a rage. Spitanagel concedes that a problem existed, but calls the re sulting regulations, “ ludicrous.” “T here needs to be com m on ground that would allow small build ers to build hom es affordable to first tim e hom e buyers,” he said. He w ould like design standards relaxed for hom es that were energy- efficient. “ E n erg y e ffic ie n c y is a h eck o f a lot m ore im p o rtan t than w hat th e h o u se lo o k s lik e ," S p itan ag el said .

W hen first asked about he project, he said, “I think that infill d ev elo p m ent at that location is appropriate, provided it w as d esigned to ad dress the street.” But that w as before H aapala ac tually view ed the project, w hich he did at the Portland O b serv er’s re quest. O nce he did, he had a very different reaction. "T h is is bad developm ent, bad in several w ays,” he said. H aapala found the project aes thetically “atrocious.” M ore fu n d am en tally , he said, “W e w ant housing people w ould w ant to live in perm anently. T he only reason anyone w ould rent this is because they w ere forced to because they co u ld n ’t find anything else. T his is another bad thing for a com m unity th a t’s already had m any bad things done to it.” If high density housing like the M issouri Street project is allow ed by right, he said, the city should allow greater input into the design o f infill projects.
