As with all modifications, the neighborhood association encourages applicants to contact the association early in the planning process in an effort to foster dialog about balancing the applicant's needs with the need to preserve important elements of neighborhood character. The association encourages coordination with your neighbors.

If your project requires a special exception to the Comprehensive Zoning Code the association normally provides a position and comments to the Zoning Hearing Examiner. The association develops its position and comments to the Zoning Hearing Examiner at meetings of the Board of Directors, normally the 2nd Thursday of each month or as posted on the web site.

The Board of Directors develops its position and comments by evaluating the facts of each application.  Within this context, the Board has adopted a policy for evaluating special exception requests for walls and carports in front yard setbacks in an effort to foster better understanding and consistency.  That policy may be downloaded here.
