COMMMUNITY FORUM

• Sherri Kimbel of Councilmember Jack Evans’ office provided the following updates:

1. Her kind words and sincere gratitude for the service of outgoing Commissioners Raymond, Lallas, Melcher, Dahle, and Cain.
2. The District Council recently voted to “surplus” the Francis Stephens School in Foggy Bottom. The building will become joint office space and a school to train teachers specializing in autistic student education. Kimbel noted that the Council’s decision to surplus the Francis Stephens School bodes well for the upcoming decision on surplusing the Franklin School in ANC 2F in order to become the ICE-DC contemporary art space.

• Sgt. Terestre, accompanied by Officer Garcia, a recent addition to PSA 307, provided the monthly crime report (Nov 9 – Dec 9). Violent crime (robberies and assaults) in PSA 307 is up ony slightly (3 vs. 1 in the preceding 30 day period). Property crime (burglaries and thefts), a persistent problem in PSA 307, has increased significantly in the past 30 days. Home burglaries, which have been concentrated in Logan Circle along 14^th Street, have ticked up. Theft from autos has spiked: 43 vs. 27 in the preceding 30 days, with the principal problem area being between O and M Streets, NW and 9th to 14th Streets, NW.
• Terestre also shared that 28 “detail officers” (cadets currently in training) will be paired with current officers in ANC 2F during the holiday season for additional police coverage.
• Thor Nelson with the Office of Planning announced the release of the Environmental Assessment for the Franklin Park Vision and Transformation Plan. Nelson handed out copies of an Environmental Assessment newsletter, which details the three proposed transformation plans, including the preferred plan known as “The Edge” site plan. Nelson encouraged community members to provide comments on the Plan/EA during the open comment period, which will close on January 9, 2015.

ABRA POLICY COMMITTEE (APC) REPORT

• The Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to adopt the APC Committee report, which included support of Settlement Agreement (SA) modifications requested by the owner of three restaurants: 1423 P St, NW (Logan Tavern), 1443 P St, NW (Commissary), and 1320 14th St, NW (The Pig). The SA amendments (one for each restaurant) allow for operations until 1:00am each year on New Year’s Eve.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (CDC) REPORT

• The Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to support the following Applicant requests considered at the CDC’s November 19 meeting: 1) DDOT public space application for 1320 14th St, NW (The Pig); 2) BZA variance requests for 1218 9th St, NW; and 3) a demolition permit request for 1618 14th St, NW, contingent on the preservation and restoration of the building’s front/façade wall.
• Before endorsing the demolition permit request for 1618 14th St, NW, the Commission entertained extensive community input. Several community members expressed their dismay that a demolition permit would “reward” the negligent behavior of the owner of the building, who allowed the structure to be “de facto demolished by decay.” Other community members expressed concern that forcing the owner to preserve the façade would complicate development possibilities, potentially risk continued inaction on the owner’s part, and thus “punish” surrounding neighbors. At least one community member spoke to the “unadorned but pleasing” aesthetic of the pre-Civil War structure’s façade, noting that the building’s historic significance lies with the architectural insignificance that reflects the time in which the structure was built.
• The CDC report also included a summary of the presentation given by the Applicant behind 1428 9th St, NW (initial HPRB design presentation), and a reminder that the CDC will be considering the Community Benefits Agreement that will accompany the Planned Unit Development for the proposed Marriott hotel project at 9th & L, NW at the upcoming CDC meeting on Wednesday, December 17.
