KLBNA has heard Glaven Feher Architects is going to the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) tom0rrow night. If this is in fact Glavens intent this is a clear end around to negate the Near East Area Commission.
The document GLAVEN DEVELOPMENT AT N. MONROE (MONROE CLUSTER) has numerous valid points to question this development as proposed.Somebody forward this document to the BZA if there is in fact a Glaven presentation tomarrow night.
Glaven at the NEAC December General Meeting said he refered to the Near East Area Plan,for his proposed Monroe Cluster Townhome project. After reading my critique of Glaven’s project he may need to reread the text. As KLBNA Zoning and Development Chairman I personaly put a lot of hours in to making a good plan as you did Kathleen,and many others.
Remember KLBNA always has their documents.Likewise all commissioners and residents attending a BZA tomarrow night, and or the NEAC Planning Committee Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. bring your Near East Area Plan that WE MADE !!!
All is not well in NEAC District 1. Mayor Coleman didn’t you run for mayor on a platform of being pro-neighborhood?
First Demolitions on E. Long St. in my NEAC District 1 are decimating what little was left of the Historic Street.
Second These demolishers do not go thru the City of Columbus recognized NEAC process and are marching down E. Long St. in NEAC District 1.
Third Glaven Feher is rejected in mass by the surrounding neighborhood in NEAC District 1 for his Monroe Cluster project on a cold snowy day and he continues to promote this same project.
Fourth The Gateway Building (Gideon Building) in NEAC District 1, in 2004 when going thru NEAC process its promoters told us all we would get Commercial Development on the first floor. All we got in 2007 is gravel and maybe a Social Service Agency the Columbus Housing Partnership.A Social Service Agency is no retail Tony Hutchins.
Fifth The Mayor’s King Lincoln Ghost Town District in NEAC District 1 is floundering because of PEOPLE IN THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION ARE STUBBORN AND PUSHING A PREDETERMINED AGENDA AND ARE NOT LISTENING TO NEAC ,KLBNA,OR INTERESTED CITIZENS. MAYOR COLEMAN,
BOYCE SAFFORD,KEENA SMITH AND DANI PADMORE ,WE GOT A MESS IN THE KING LINCOLN GHOST TOWN DISTRICT.
