We finally had our neighborhood zoning meeting. We arrived early (thanks to Erin!), with our presentation in hand (think high school science project). The board members arrived one by one but – what’s this? – there’s no community members.
A handful finally showed up (maybe 2-3?) but, for the most part, the decision was made by the Fishtown Neighborhood Association and the lone representative of the New Kensington CDC (they have jurisdiction over Frankford Ave.). Their verdict: 10 in favor of, 0 opposed (with the proviso that we do not get a curb cut as planned).Victory is ours! Now, we’re scheduled to do battle with the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) next Wednesday.
