Free Neighborhood Will & Estate Planning Workshop

What will happen to your home when you die?

If you own your home, do you know what will happen to it after you die?  If you get sick and can't speak for yourself, do your doctors know what your wishes are?  Do you need a power of attorney to have someone pay your bills and make financial decisions for you?

Cedar Park Neighbors and the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law are teaming up to hold a neighborhood workshop at Calvary Center at 48th & Baltimore on Thursday, October 4th, 2018, at 6:30 p.m.  The workshop is free, but everyone is encouraged to join Cedar Park Neighbors if you are not already a member.   (Membership starts at $7/year for seniors, and you can become a member at the workshop.)

At the workshop, neighbors will learn about simple wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. Everyone can then sign up for a free one-on-one follow-up meeting at Drexel University to write their actual documents.

Any questions?  Please call Cedar Park Neighbors at 267-BALT-AVE (267-225-8283) or email us at contact@cedarparkneighbors.org.

September Community Zoning Meeting

806 S. 47th Street

Cedar Park Neighbors invites you to a Community Zoning Meeting on Tuesday, September 18th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Calvary Community Center at 48th and Baltimore (entrance is on Baltimore Avenue, small side door).
 
We will be reviewing three (3) separate projects:

• 7:00 PM 5038 Cedar Avenue The application is for the erection of a semi-detached structure for use as a single family residence on a currently vacant lot in a block of primarily 3-story twins.  The owner is requesting a variance on the side yard dimension and on the parking requirement.  Required by code is an 8’-0” side yard; proposed is 3’-0”.  Required by code is one accessory parking space; proposed is none.  Existing zoning is RSA-3, Residential Single-family Attached.
• 7:30 PM 806 South 47th Street The first floor tenant space requests approval for a special exception.   Proposed in this space (formerly used by a local plumber) is a self-service pet washing space.  The existing zoning is CMX-2, Neighborhood Commercial Mixed Use, which allows for commercial use on the first floor; however, this is considered “animal service” and so a special exception is required.  The residential use above will remain untouched.
• 8:00 PM 919 South 51st Street The application is for the provision of two parking spaces at the rear of an existing two-family residence.  Accessory on-site parking is prohibited in this zone unless it can be accessed from a shared driveway, alley, or rear street. Existing zoning is RM-1 Residential Multi-Family. 

Please come out to see the proposed plans for all of these projects, and to voice your opinions on these proposals.  If you cannot attend this meeting and wish to comment on any of these, please contact CPN at zoning@cedarparkneighbors.org or 267-BALT-AVE (267-225-8283).
