There was a good turnout for the meeting tonight with several new members signing up.
4271 Penn Street
First up was a presentation by Dawn Tancredi, Esquire representing Miosotis Jones. Ms Jones is applying for zoning to change the use of 4271 Penn Street (Penn and Ruan Streets) from single family to four unit occupancy. That would be made up of three one bedroom apartments and one studio apartment. She is requesting a letter of support from the Civic. The presentation was well done and the zoning officer will do some further investigation, the board will vote and a decision will be made within 7 days. There was some community support for the change present at the meeting.
The operator of a family day care home in the 5100 block of Torresdale Avenue is looking for a letter of support for her change to a group home. That means the capacity would go from six to twelve children. Discussion of the issues followed and the zoning officer will make a followup visit.
The last piece of business at tonight’s meeting was a vote on whether to write a letter of support to the zoning board for the application by the Bridge to move on to the property on Adams Avenue. The Board and eligible members voted 2 to 1 against the motion. Letters of support have already been written by the Northwood Civic and Juniata Civic Associations.
