Outline of proposed agreement with Stanton Eastbanc

?

?

Attached to this memo is the proposed Memorandum of Agreement and exhibits negotiated with representatives from Stanton Eastbanc (SEB).? The proposal represents an agreement in principle that is worthy of bringing back to the community and the ANC for support.? As it stands, it is a draft agreement in principle, as there are several elements of new information yet to be provided by the developers and by DDOT, and which are required for final consideration and approval.

?

Summary Description

?

Below we have summarized some of the key elements of the proposed agreement with SEB.? Most notable on this list are the proposed resolution of issues surrounding the management of a private street as a public space and the reduction in height of the 7^th street building. ??

?

There are numerous items, large and small, that deal with the mitigation of traffic and increased demand on parking, but we have proposed this agreement with the caveat that we cannot execute it until there has been review of the DDOT evaluation of the transportation impact study provided by the developers, including new information requested on the feasibility of their loading and delivery plan.?? Similarly, until finalization of the details of the construction management plan (proposed as an Exhibit of the MOA), this agreement cannot be fully executed.? We anticipate having all of this information in hand by the June 5^th Planning and Zoning Committee meeting.

?

As with any negotiation, there are objectives that we did not accomplish. ?We did, however, secure several meaningful changes to the project that will be to the benefit of the community, and will to a certain degree mitigate or prevent some of the impacts of the initially proposed development.? Members of the Capitol Hill community who have spoken out at meetings, in memos and letters, who have contributed ideas, applause and critiques - have amassed a series of significant changes through each step in the process.? And while the project may not be perfect, we believe the negotiations have yielded benefits, amenities and mitigations that ensure that the development compliments and enables the viability of Eastern Market, while respecting the surrounding neighborhood.

?

Principal Elements of the Agreement

(for the full list of agreements refer to the attached MOA)

?

1)? SEB has agreed to remove the top floor of the the 7^th and Pennsylvania Ave building and the penthouse elements of that building, to include the top floor of of the 7^th street component of the same building (see attached design). The changes address the massing and height along 7^th street and reduce the overall mass of the 7^th and Pennsylvania building.? For the 7^th and PA Ave. building, the changes are not as significant from views closer up (such as the street below), but from broader views East, North and West the reduction in massing is clear.

?

2)? SEB has agreed to provide space for a child development center for children 0-3 years old that is not less than 2400 square feet in size.? There are terms for the provision of Tenant Improvement Funds (TIF) which are less costly to the developer with increased size beyond 3400 square feet.?

?

3) SEB has agreed to provide $50,000 for improvements to the Eastern Market Metro Plaza.

?

4)? SEB has agreed to support, with ANC6B, exclusion of the South residential building from the RPP and VPP programs as a measure to reduce already strained demands on parking in the neighborhood.? SEB will remain silent on the North building, which ANC6B will seek to also exclude from the RPP and VPP programs

?

5)? SEB has agreed to support language in all commercial leases that strongly encourages various types of trip reduction and mass transit incentive programs.

?

6)? SEB has agreed to provide two car sharing spots at no cost and to consider further spots based on demand.

?

7)? SEB has agreed to provide the newly reopened C Street and plaza elements for use by the weekend market with some cost recovery allowed for only repair and maintenance.

?

8)? SEB has agreed to support relocation of a temporary flea market, during construction, to the 300 block of 7^th St, and to configure elements of the construction site, such as the construction wall, to support this arrangement.? This agreement will be reflected in the final Construction Management Plan.?

?

9)? SEB has agreed to support incorporation of the 700 block of C Street (specifically the area in Exhibit C of the MOA package) into the Eastern Market Historic Special Use District (EMHSUD), pending passage of the 2012 Eastern Market Preservation and Development Act.

?

10)? SEB has agreed to a three member group, including SEB, the newly created market trust or other market management and the ANC, for the setting of policy and guidelines on the use of C Street when it is not a street or a market.? They have also agreed to language that clarifies the mission for that space and any programming on it.

?

11)? SEB has agreed to a process by which either side can pursue changing C Street back to a public street if there are consistent problems created by the private nature and control of the street.

?

12)? SEB has agreed to no commercial uses on 8^th Street.

?

13)? SEB has agreed to limit restaurant uses to the West half of the South Building.? For the North Building restaurant use is restricted only on a small portion of the Eastern end of the retail area.

?

14)? SEB has agreed, consistent with its original filing, to provide a minimum of 20% of their retail space for locally owned small businesses and a further 1000 square feet of space that is below market incubator space.

?

15) SEB has agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to attract a number of retail uses desired by the community, to include:? a) an urgent care facility b) theater/arts uses and c) a grocery store that compliments Eastern Market.

?

16)? SEB has agreed to allow some use of conference facilities for community meetings (held by ANC6B and other community organizations) with advance notice and defrayment of janitorial and/or security costs.

?

17) SEB has agreed to provide the Weekend Market with vendor parking that inlcudes 8 loading bay spaces at no cost to the market and 50 underground parking spaces and at 50% of market rate.

?

18) SEB has agreed to a pricing scheme for garage parking spaces that encourages short duration parking and turnover of spaces.

?

19) SEB has agreed to a variety of safety and coordination measures to improve pedestrian safety and traffic flow around the development.?

?

?

Process From Here

?

This proposal and memo should be circulated far and wide so that the community can understand what the proposed agreement is and voice their opinion before it is approved or rejected by the ANC and ultimately before the ANC takes it position to the Zoning Commission on June 14^th.

?

There are two main elements to the process from here: i) the sequence of dates and meetings that lead up to the Zoning Commission hearing and ii) the process by which the actual document is reviewed.? Here is what we think the next steps ought to be on each of those elements.

?

Dates:

?

May 24^th???????? ANC6B Subcommittee on Hine School Redevelopment reviews the proposed MOA and makes a recommendation to the ANC Planning and Zoning Committee.? (note this meeting will be chaired by Subcomittee Vice-Chair Brian Pate).

?

June 4^th??????????? DDOT publishes its evaluation of the project and its potential impact on parking and transportation.

?

June 5^th??????????? ANC6B Planning and Zoning Committee reviews the proposed MOA, along with the new information from DDOT and SEB, and passes any recommendation on to the full ANC.

?

June 12^th????????? ANC6B meets at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the MOA and take a final position for the Zoning Commission hearing

?

June 14^th ???????? Zoning Commission Hearing on Hine School PUD (overtime scheduled for June 21sst as needed)

?

?

Approval or Disapproval:

?

This proposal is presented as a document that is not intended to be amended or changed, but merely to be ratified or rejected.? As such, our proposal is that at the various ANC meetings where the proposal is reviewed for recommendation there be a process where there is a presentation of the proposed agreement with ample opportunity for Q&A and statements pro, con or other.? At the conclusion of that discussion, there will be a motion to approve the proposed agreement.? Once laid on the table, there will be an opportunity for motions which we suggest be limited to motions to recommit with specific instructions.??

?

The point is that this is a proposed agreement and that changes cannot be made without reentering the negotiation with SEB.? If there is a vote to essentially reject the proposed agreement and send us back to the negotiating table, we believe it should be done with specific and focused suggestions that have majority support.? If no such motion to recommit ultimately gets a majority from the ANC, then the vote will be on approval of the motion to support the agreement.

Call DC City Council Members Today to Support our Public Libraries!!

#373

FYI.

?

Please take 10 minutes to call the city council to support funding for our city's public libraries.

Last week, the Council's Committee on Libraries, Parks, Recreation and Planning unanimously approved its budget recommendations for fiscal year 2013.

The Committee identified and recommended an additional $5.2 million for the DC Public Library, including:

- $2.2 million more for the book budget (For this current year, the book budget is just $1.7 million -- 58% less than in 2008, and 50-79% less than cities of comparable size, such as Baltimore, Seattle, Boston. This very low level of funding cannot sustain our libraries.)

- Additional money for opening day book collections at Northeast Library and Woodridge Library

- $2 million for capital improvements at libraries awaiting renovation, such as security and ADA compliance improvements

- Funding for employee training to help keep library staff on pace with emerging trends, new research, and the latest technology

Did you realize that most job applications are now online and residents who lack computers with Internet access are basically out of luck if these working, connected resources are not available at their local library?

Tell your personal story to your council member. Story time for your children? Finding an atlas that doesn't list the Soviet Union? How will we raise our reading scores and adult literacy without proper library resources in our community?

The committee has shown a strong commitment to restoring our public library system, but the next hurdle is ensuring the entire Council votes to support these recommendations. The Council is meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss the budget.

Please contact the Chairman and Councilmembers and remind them how important our public library is to ALL residents and ask them to show their commitment to lifelong learning by supporting this additional DC Public Library funding!

Quick Updates

Brian Pate

#369

Neighbors,

Below please find a couple of quick updates:

8th St Medical Marijuana Dispensary?

After much delay as the City Council refined supporting code (and created exclusionary zones), the ANC will finally review an application to place a dispensary at 409 8th St. ?As a part of the application process, the ANC is afforded an opportunity to weigh-in, similar to liquor license applications. ?The District Dept of Health has sent each affected ANC a questionnaire to complete as part of the application process. ?The questionnaire asks the ANC to address the following three areas:

? ? ?1.??????The ANCs’ concerns or support regarding the potential adverse impact of the proposed location to the neighborhood.?

? ? ?2.??????The ANCs’ concerns or support regarding an overconcentration or lack of dispensaries in the affected ward.

? ? ?3.??????The ANCs’ concerns or support regarding the proposed location’s proximity to substance abuse treatment centers, day care?

? ? ? ? ? ? ?centers, and halfway houses.

We will be reviewing the issue at our next meeting, and I'm interested in your opinion on the matter. ?

Hine

The Zoning Commission hearing on the proposed development is scheduled for June 14th, and will probably take several meetings to fully adjudicate, possibly running into July before concluding. ?The ANC has designated Commissioner Ivan Frishberg and I to serve as the leads in negotiations for project related benefits, amenities and mitigations. ?We've conducted 2-3 negotiating sessions a week for the past several weeks, using the positions crafted by the ANC's Hine Sub-Committee as the basis for discussions, and expect to see a draft response from the developer around the 30th of April. ?If you've been following this endeavor, then you know that there are strong feelings toward the development on both sides of the ledger. ?Perhaps naively, I remain optimistic that negotiations will yield a development worthy of our neighborhood.

Eastern Market Legislation

Word from Councilmember Well's office is that they are seeking a date in the next month to bring revised legislation before the City Council's Committee of the Whole. ?Thus far, the Council Chair has yet to commit to a date for the hearing, citing a need to focus on preparation of the City's FY13 budget. ?ANC6B continues to lobby for a hearing as soon as possible, in order to disambiguate Eastern Market and Hine issues, and to provide the Market's future governance body with adequate time to conduct a thorough turnover prior to the beginning of FY 13. ?

DDOT has asked ANC6B to delay any request to expand the pilot area until late Summer (reason unknown). ?While the overwhelming majority of people I've spoken with support expansion of the pilot area to its legal boundaries (11th St to the East, East Cap to the North), the delay does provide more time to reach out to potentially impacted residents--a small blessing considering the visceral reactions people have to any change in parking procedures. ?Of note, the Mayor's proposed FY13 budget sweeps the non-automotive transit improvement budget (approximately $1M a year) from the PPP. ?Instead, the Mayor's budget earmarks revenues raised in the Pilot areas to pay down the City's WMATA tax. ?I understand the need to pay our fair share for Metro, but am hopeful that some compromise can be reached to retain at least a portion of the PPP funds for programming in the local area. ?Not only do I support the purpose of the non-automotive transit improvement budget, I hate to see the exercise in participatory budgeting written off as a one-time experiment.

Sidewalks and Infrastructure

ANC6B's Transportation Committee submitted the attached sidewalk repair priority list to DDOT in early April. ? Please note several SMD05 sidewalks on the list. ?I'm happy to report that in the intervening month since submission of this list, DDOT has almost fully repaired the 200 block of 12th St! ?I have to give DDOT a great deal of credit for being responsive to our requests and working diligently to repair the many sidewalks we've brought to their attention. ?Now on to 9th and 10th Streets!

Speaking of 9th and 10th Streets, ?in March, WASA conducted a survey of the water main running under the decrepit alley between the two streets. ?They've marked the alley for extensive repairs to the water main, and I'm waiting on a final date for commencement of the project. ?Once the water main is brought to standard, DDOT can begin final planning for resurfacing of the alley. ?

Other projects of great interest include WASA's small-diameter water-main replacement on the 800 block of A St SE, and Washington Gas's restoration of the sidewalk on the east side of the 100 block of Kentucky. ?Officials from WASA and WashGas indicate that the projects should be complete by the end of April, though both projects have been beset by myriad delays, necessitating increased vigilance from the neighborhood.

Mayor's Budget Hearing, Capitol Hill Community Foundation Awards

The Mayor will hold a Ward 6 budget town hall this Wednesday, the 25th, from 6:30PM to 8:30PM at Eastern High School. ?Please note that this is the same evening as the annual Capitol Hill Community Foundation awards dinner (congrats to SMD05's Martha Huizenga, one of the dinner's four honorees!). ?The dinner will be held in the great hall of the Folger Library. ?Tickets are available at: ?.

As always, please don't hesitate to contact me with any issues, suggestions or general feedback, and be on the look out for a May neighborhood security walk.

[MomsOnTheHill] Ms. Frances Summer Camp!

Ms Frances is having a summer camp is a go for 2.5 to 5 year olds!

If you haven't heard of her, Ms. Frances is a legendary preschool teacher on Capitol Hill for 30+ years. She is the director of the Capitol Hill Cooperative Nursery School, and she has worked miracles with kids in the preschool age.

After our location fell through at the 11th hour, it looks like her summer camp is back on again at Watkins ES, starting June 25 from 8:30 to 1:30.

Ms. Frances takes the kids all over Capitol Hill every day: Union Station to the see the trains, museums, carousel on the mall, fire stations, playgrounds. She also does water play, outdoor science, arts and crafts, and music and movement with Ms. Audrey. We will also have special drop-in guests like African and Chinese story tellers, and more.

The price is a little more more than some programs, a little less than others. But in the words of both my 8 year old boy who is an alumnus and my 3 year boy who is currently enrolled, "It's a special day, every day."

There is NO CO-OPING INVOLVED FOR THE SUMMER PROGRAM! The application and pricing structure is now posted on the website: Feel free to contact me with questions: susierod@....
