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.

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 .

tion, w as surprised the I O-plex was
built in w hat appears to be the path
o f future PCC C ascade expansion.
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.
