Let's see, RPNeighbor has one, Thomas has a couple, Michael on Fargo, Just the Fact Ma'am, Archie Gait loves Morse Ave but hasn't proved it since thanksgiving 2005, Toni has her Howard Watcher, Hugh has his forum, Charlie has his bulletin board, David Fagus, Kevin O'Neil, DevCorp North, they have theirs... Am I missing any? Well folks, here's two more.

MOORE TO HOST COMMUNITY MEETING TO REVIEW
BIRCHWOOD AVE. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

Alderman Joe Moore announced today he will hold a community meeting to review a proposal to redevelop the properties located at 1954 and 1958 West Birchwood Ave. with a three-story residential building, containing nine condominium units and nine parking stalls. The meeting will be held at the Pottawattomie Park Fieldhouse, 7340 N. Rogers, on Monday, Feb. 13th at 7:00 p.m.

A frame single-family residence and a brick two-flat currently sit on the properties and would be demolished to make way for the development. The properties are currently zoned RT4, which allows for a residential building of up to seven units. The developer, Joe Mirro, is applying for a change in the zoning designation to RT4.5 in order to construct an additional two units.

The proposed zoning change must receive City Council approval and is currently being considered by the 49th Ward Zoning and Land Use Advisory Committee. “I look forward to hearing the views and opinions of the neighbors,” said Moore.
