ANC 2C
ANC 2C meets tomorrow 10/1 at 6:30pm I think. Presumably at Kennedy Rec., the agenda is a total mystery. No meeting notice has been provided. Actually MVSNA never gets a meeting notice from either of our Commissioners, Doris Brooks or Barbara Curtis or their controlling unelected "Parliamentarian" Leroy Thorpe. Usually ANC 2C02 Commissioner Chapple posts it on his website but perhaps he didn't get one either, that has happened a lot too.
This needs to stop. I urge you all in ANC 2C to make sure you are registered to vote by the deadline, October 6th and please VOTE! There are viable candidates challenging the incumbent Commissioners Brooks & Curtis. Please take a look at Theresa Sule running for 2C04 and Jessica Lanza running for 2C03.
Recently an ANC candidate, Sarah Livingston, published her latest edition of the Seventh Streeter with some thought provoking commentary on ANC 2C. Whether you agree with her conclusions or not, it is worth a read. Commentary & discussion on FifthandOh and ANC2C02.
P.S. A warm welcome back, Daddy5Oh, to shaw bloggin.
1) Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans.
2) BZA Application 17816: Request for a use variance for general retail on the first floor of the properties at 816-18 Rhode Island Avenue, NW and 819-21 Q Street, NW: Owner Michael Sendar requests the commission's support for zoning relief that would allow the long vacant buildings to be sold, renovated, and occupied by neighborhood serving retail businesses. Types of businesses that would be excluded include liquor stores and take out food establishments. The R-4 zoning of the buildings would not be changed, but retail, a nonconforming use in an R-4 district, would be allowed, as it has been for the past 100 years.
3) BZA Application 17874: Request for a variance from the use provisions to establish a retail grocery store (basement and 1st Floor) in the R-4 District at 1403 6th Street, NW. Applicant: Yebeltal Kebede.
4) 2008 Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Marathon: Request for support for street closings necessary to conduct footrace through downtown and Mall section of the commission’s jurisdiction.
Other items expected to be heard at the meeting, but not on the preliminary agenda:
5) Kelsey Gardens Planned Unit Development: Metropolitan Development will request the commission’s support for a planned unit development (PUD) to allow them to build an 80 foot building where 65 feet is the maximum matter of right height. This building will replace the current Kelsey Gardens apartments on the west side of the 1500 block of 7th Street, NW.
6) Bread for the City Addition: Jair Lynch Development Partners will request support for the design of an addition to the nonprofit’s headquarters at 1525 7th Street, NW, before the Historic Preservation Review Board. BFTC's current building is an individual landmark on the DC Inventory of Historic Sites.
Other items of old or new business may be heard by the commission without further notice.
