[HNA News] Special Zoning Permit Request - 300 S Germantown

[keyvink_1004 at bellsouth.net]

Scott,

Based on the Bylaws, we don't have enough time to schedule a meeting prior to the zoning meeting.  We must first give at least one week notice to the membership.  The best thing we could do at this point, is to show up in large numbers at the zoning meeting to voice our opposition.    If nothing is finalized on the 14th, then we could still call a special meeting of the membership.  

Does anyone know for certain whether the zoning proposal will get an "up or down" vote on the 14th?  I will get with the other Board members to see if we want to go ahead and plan for a special meeting of the membership.  If so, we could plan on meeting next Thursday or Friday, as long as the communication goes out tomorrow.

Kevin

  In addition to our participation as individuals, can HNA take an official position on this matter?  I think that according to article 3 of our bylaws it can, especially since one of the primary goals in that same article is to “maintain and restore a neighborhood of single family dwellings.”  
 
  The zoning meeting is the day before our next meeting.  Do we need to call a special meeting to take a vote or what?

The house at 300 S Germantown (Corner of Lerch and Germantown) has applied for spot zoning for a daycare facility.  This is likely to cause a few issues in an already congested area.  We should expect to see increased traffic, along with increased cut through traffic that was  cut down by the speed humps.  Additionally, if they win approval for a curb cut on Germantown, that would be disastrous for traffic.  Imagine all the folks who get off in the late afternoon coming down Germantown and turning left or right into a parking lot and all the pileups that would happen as the fast drivers exited 24 and came down Germantown and were surprised by the brake lights at the hill.  Also, this will cause additional street parking as well at the entrance to Lerch Street.

There is a hearing May 14th at 10am at 1000 Lindsay Street.  I am planning to attend and think it would be good for others in the neighborhood to attend as well.
