Rides and babysitt available if or the Office -2 Pennsylvania Street is the scene of yet another controversy over a land use issue. This time, the controversy is not about a tavern; it is about Penn Houseo The Penn House staff recently announced plans to tear down their present structure at 1035 Fenno and to erect a new building on that site. Amid hot tempers, na.'Ue calling, innuendo and threats of v-iolence, the ELIA ::2;xecutive Board met in August i'lith representatives of Penn House and voted to oppose commercial rezoning of the property at 1035 Penno The area is currently zoned for residential use, and the Penn House operation does not conform -vdth that zoning. The ELIA Board also passed a resolution to seek to work out di?ferences with Penn House peacefully to the benefit of the East Lawrence neighborhood vlhich both organizations serveo Opposition to the Penn House project was based on a number of factorso Opponents claim that the current building is a viable historic structure 1..rhich Penn House could sell for rehabilitation as housing, and then build elsewhere more economically than they could demolish and rebuild at the same site. There was also opposition to any zoning change Hhich could open the door to conrraercial encroachment in the event that Penn House ceases operationo Some critics find the proposed structure to be an ugly replacement for a beautiful old house, citing that the new building is a block structure, having no windows on three sides. Finally, they oppose the design which shows a parking lot and loading dock in the front of the new Penn IIouseo They charge that a bigger, better Penn House will generate more traffic on the stl•eet and will be a nuisance. Contir,"'tJ-+ p.~ �DOWNTOWN Lawrence The City's comprehensive plan for Downtown is nearing completion, and Tihode Island :3treet residents are battling to make sure that their street remains a residential street in the processo The City's consultant on Downto"rn pla.n.'1ing, Teska and Associates, designed one alternative plan which would close New Hampshire Street between 7th and 9th Streets, diverting Downtown traffic to Rhode Island Streeto Other Teska proposals would encourage development of multi-family housing along the west side of the 900 and 1000 blocks of Rhode Island, and would call for parking lots on the west side of the 700 and 800 blockso At the September 23 meeting of the City's Planning Commission~ Janet Hoffman, who recently bought and is upgrading the house' at 72~ Rhode Island, outlined the ELIA's positiono The ELIA and Rhode Island Street neighbors find the closing of New Hampshire Street unacceptable, oppose any RM-3 high density zoning along the street, and oppose any curb cuts along .Rhode Island for parkingo Ms. Hoffman pointed out that the East Lawrence Neighborhood Plan calls for medium density housing in the area and stresses rehabilitation and preservation rather than redevelopmento Mso Hoffman noted that a parking lot should not be built until an actual need is demonstrated, and that a green space would make a better "buffer'' than parkingo She pointed out that existing City lots in the Boo b~ock of Rhode Island are usually empty. Hso E:offma.n said that meaningful public transportation would lessen the need for more a.spha.l t. Susie Ashline, Don Brownstein, Jim Povrers and Tiichard Kershenba.um also spoke at the meeting, rei tera.ting Hs. Hoffman 1 s points, and raising questions about eminent domain, buffer zones s.nd freestanding stores o All of these people own property along Rhode Island Street and a.re making considerable investments in rehab work. Lance Burr, whose la.w office, recently rehabbed home and rental properties a.re in Bast Lawrence, asked the Commissioners to 11 slow down" and preserve Hhat is nice in the towno Barry Sha.linsky, 633 Connecticut, said the plan should meet real needs, not create artificial demandso Accordingly, Shalinsky said, a. Downtown grocery store should be given higher priority than a hotel complex. Despite these cortments from East Lawrence residents, the Planning Commission voted to send the Teska recow~endations to the City Commission without alteration. That makes it important for East Lawrence people to attend the City Conm1ission meeting on Tuesday, October 13th to show support for our Rhode Island Street neighbors, as well as to conm1ent on other aspects of the Do-vmto-vrn Plan. The Teska Report and the East Lawrence Neighborhood Plan are available to be read at the ELIA Office during regular office hours, for persons wishing to prepare for the meetingo The ELIA thanics over twenty people from East Lawrence, mostly Rhode Island Street neighbors, who attended the Planning Commission meetingo If these people, and more, voice their opinions to the City Commission, Downtown redevelopment could en..l-J.ance rather tha.n destroy our neighborhoodo 3 �briefs~ Project S~AL, desisned to .§_ave l;;n(n~gy f:round Ls.:t.rr•enoe is off to a great start.
