Fishtown Zoning Meeting = 10 ayes, 0 nays
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.
