EDGEWATER TRIANGLE NEIGHBORS ASSOCIATION MONTHLY MINUTES July 12, 2006

Call to Order

Meeting was called to order at 7:05 by the presiding President of ETNA Sue Morales. 18 people are in attendance.

Minutes from the previous meeting were tabled due to a lack of copies to pass around.

Treasury Report by ETNA Treasure Joe Teller : balance of $448.55 : no reported expenditures.

Fred Augustine, a zoning lawyer representing 1529 W. Hollywood, sought a special use permit for establishing a residential conversion in a B3-2 zoned area. The current owner has owned the building since 1997 and wishes to convert the building into 10 units with 2 duplex units on the first floor into the basement. The basement is currently 60% above grade. There will be no additional parking established with this conversion. They had presented to the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce and made five unreturned phone calls to the executive director of the Edgewater Community Council.

A motion to approve the Special Use permit for the 1529 W. Hollywood conversion was made by Joe Teller.
Motion passed 12 in favor : 0 against : 1 abstention.

Motion to support a "Do Not Block Intersection" sign with fine and enforcement was made and passed unanimously. This would move the current sign closer to Edgewater and Clark Street intersection and was agreed upon with the addition of a parking lot for the flower shop/Gardening Center.

A motion to deny request for a donation toward the gardening around the Welcome to Edgewater sign was made and passed by a vote of 9 in favor : 1 against : 2 abstentions. ETNA had made a donation for the new sign and allowed ECC to use left over funds from the GRIP project toward this endeavor.

All those in attendance were reminded that we have no general meeting in the month of August. Meeting was adjourned.
