Contact [email protected] for more info. ChurchHill.org | 3 OPINION To: [email protected] Give it up - The CHA organization consistently opposes most development that furthers Richmond City development, as well as venues through which to garner income to support our schools, safety, roads and overall infrastructure. Our city cannot rely upon VCU and developers in the West End, only, to bring in businesses and related tax revenue (which supports inner city schools for example). The CHA consistently opposes development that is at least, if not more than, 10 blocks from the beginning of an apparently “Elitist’ neighborhood (Church Hill). Furthermore, the CHA continues to exercise negative opinions and activities re: develop- ment, etc. that are clearly not in its purview, such as the proposed development at Pear and Canal Streets and the Stadium in Shockoe Bottom. It appears the CHA would rather preserve run-down property, including property in the Church Hill neighborhood, rather than support development that can improve the position of all property owners. Furthermore, The CHA sabotages your own local businesses. The lawsuit that resulted from trying to eliminate the business success of a 10(+) year, 365 day-a-year neighborhood business (i.e. Captain Buzzy’s) in the heart of “Church Hill” is abomi- nable. The CHA should be ashamed of itself and my hope is that Bob Buffington prevails. The CHA should take a lesson from other neighborhoods like Union Hill area, clearly a much more welcoming and thoughtful community re: rationale to sup- port businesses, development, and furthering a truly neighborhood venue/lifestyle. My current residence is the Nolde Bakery Condominium. The developer had to fight with the CHA and bow down to unrea- sonable “historic preservation” which has resulted in unresolved water leakage primarily related to “historic windows” that had to be retained. This is not the way to move forward. Hopefully, the CHA membership will come to the recognition that they live in a city area and should be wise to support the development activities and understanding of the necessary actions that accompany this outcome. I have had the good fortune to grow up and live in a true city, Washington, DC, and never experienced such petty distractions to furthering the ongoing and immense city development. I hope this will be shared with your members, but am doubtful, since the CHA seems to make a practice of sharing only their perspectives, etc. Regards - Beth Sarrett LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT RESPONSE Dear Beth, Thank you for your recent letter. I am taking the liberty of publishing it here in its entirety, and I hope this coincides with your expressed desires. I hope you won’t mind me taking a few minutes to reply. My reply can be summed up with the words, “Beth, you could not be more wrong!”. The views you espouse are those usually promulgated by those with unusual ideologies (i.e. no belief in zoning or citizen’s rights as opposed to property rights), those who are immature and want to act out, or those who are misinformed. I am assuming you fall into the latter category, so I would like to take a few moments to set the record straight. The Church Hill Association is now in its 50th year. We have a long history of supporting development in our neighborhood, and through the hard work of those of us who love this neighborhood, and who have worked tirelessly to support its development, we now have a truly wonderful, historic, and unique place in which to live. Our organization has supported many initiatives in the neighborhood, and has been active in supporting new and established businesses. We are actively involved with the schools, and support neighboring community organizations. We regularly have neighborhood businesses come to our monthly membership meetings to tell us about themselves. Our zoning committee works diligently with developers, and is able to review plans and make comments so that the 4 | July 2014 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT continued development will fit in well with our neighborhood and keep its historic character. When the process works well, you don’t hear about it. There is a give and take between us and the developer that creates a project that is better for all. Lest you think we are elitist, I might mention that our input regarding the movie theater redevelopment next to the Post Office (which will be 100% rental units) resulted in preservation of the historic theater front, and new retail space as well as allowing for an exciting housing opportunity. We are held in high enough regard by the City, that we are asked to weigh in on issues that are not in our immediate neighborhood, but are nearby. They come to us because we are a rationale and functioning organization.

    CHURCH HILL NEWSLETTER COMMITTED TO INFORMING THE RESIDENTS OF CHURCH HILL JULY 2009 true green a new series on everyday ways you can contribute to a healthier planet By, Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin #90 Three in every four car trips involves transporting a single occupant—the driver. We’d save eight billion gallons of gas each year if every commuter car in the U.S. carried just one more person. But if you aren’t taking a passenger, a small scooter or electric bicycle is an obvious choice—particularly as an alternative to a household’s second car—when it’s too far or inconvenient to walk, cycle or use public transport. A larger scooter with a 250cc engine will use less than 1 gallon of gas per 50 miles and a 50cc engine as little as a half gallon. Scooters are also cheaper and easier to park.
