Huffstickler Green Dedication on Saturday, May 4 at 10:30 am

The Hyde Park, Hancock, and North University Neighborhood Associations would like to invite you to attend the dedication of Huffstickler Green, honoring Albert Huffstickler (1929-2002).

The dedication will be held Saturday, May 4th at 10:30 am at the Green located on the northeast corner of 38th Street and Duval Street.

We will gather in gratitude for the new space created by the efforts of so many people and to honor Albert Huffstickler and his legacy of poetry. The Neighborhood Associations will note those who helped make this happen. Friends and fellow poets will share their memories and the poetry of our beloved Hyde Park poet.

Hope to see you there!

HNA Meeting Minutes for March 20, 2013

Help Stop The Destruction of Urban Family Neighborhood by Dorm Style Housing

Authored by Angela Pack Zia and Mary Sanger.

(Updated April 16, 2013)

The multitude of nuisance, safety and traffic problems that dorm-style housing generates is absolutely incompatible with family neighborhoods and can have a rapid devastating impact on single family neighborhoods. Mike Wong, President of Northfield Neighborhood Association (http://www.northfieldna.org/) stated that his neighborhood has lost 10 single family homes within the last six weeks to dorm-style housing, with a total of 20 single family homes being replaced by dorm-style housing within the past six months. The result is a high percent turn over within the past six months whereby single family homes in the neighborhood have been replaced with dorm-style housing. More are on their way as four more homes have been recently demolished on 51st between Guadalupe and Duval and more homes demolished on North Loop. Because of this incompatibility with dorm-style housing and single family homes, the single family occupants are forced to leave, thereby, creating a domino effect in the community that continues to greatly negatively impact existing single family residents.

Perry Estate Development Vote Wednesday, March 20, 2013

The Issue

Developer Clark Lyda purchased the Commodore Perry Estate at 4100 Red River Street in 2011. Mr. Lyda has proposed a plan for redeveloping the estate. Residents of the Hancock Neighborhood are stakeholders in the estate redevelopment process and need to provide input on how the project should proceed.

The Special Committee

The Perry Estate Special Committee, or Ad Hoc Committee, was formed on January 18th, 2012. The Committee is comprised of the 5 existing members on the Zoning Committee for the neighborhood association plus three (3) additional Hancock Neighbors who live within 200’ of the border of the Perry Estate. These three “200’ neighbors” on the Perry Estate Special Committee were approved by a vote of those in attendance at the January 18th, 2012 meeting of the Hancock Neighborhood Association.

The charge to the Committee is to negotiate with the Owner for the development and zoning of the Commodore Perry Estate. The Committee shall make recommendations for the satisfactory agreements and safeguards on land use, and shall address the concerns and requirements identified by HNA members. Final adoption of the plan will be voted on by the general membership at a future meeting.

The Vote

Please come to the regular Hancock Neighborhood Association meeting Wednesday, March 20 at 7:00 PM at Hancock Recreation Center. In the meeting, the membership will vote to accept or reject the standards set forth in the Perry Estate Development Points document. Please prepare for the vote by reading the Development Points document and related Perry Estate material available on the website. The most current documents are linked below for convenience. Also, remember that only members in good standing are permitted to vote. So please pay your dues in advance or at the meeting just prior to the Call to Order.
