neighbor files claim for damage regarding the DC Water 1st Street Tunnel project -- claim has been denied -- anyone else ??

See this 06-28-2017 message:



We recently completed the process of filing a claim for damage attributed to the First Street Tunnel project with DC Water and ESIS - their designated insurer. Our claim has been denied with an original justification that we were not in the pre-defined "zone of influence" defined by DC Water, but DC Water and ESIS have refused to provide a map of this pre-defined area. DC Water and ESIS have since changed the justification and will provide no further details - suggesting we seek legal counsel.

Has anyone else filed a claim under this process? Were you denied because you were outside the "zone of influence"? If you would like to compare notes and documentation, please contact Whitney Picard at whitney.picard@gmail.com

mark your calendars: Saturday, 10-28-2017, is the date for the 2017 Bloomingdale House Tour!

Announced at last night's Bloomingdale Civic Association meeting:




Dr. Holliday advised that this year's Bloomingdale Civic Association House Tour date is set for Saturday, October 28, 2017.

The theme is “Victorian secrets and modern truths”. 

The majority of the house tour monies go towards supporting the BCA Scholarship Awards.



special meeting to discuss the Big Bear Cafe expansion plan

Another tidbit from last night's long Bloomingdale Civic Association meeting:

ANC5E06 Commissioner Katherine McClelland will arrange a meeting to discuss the expansion plans for Big Bear Cafe.

So stay tuned.

 


Bloomingdale Civic Association voted last night to support the pursued zoning relief for both 55 V St NW and 74 R St NW

After much discussion, the Bloomingdale Civic Association voted to support the zoning variances for a 2nd floor added to a garage at 55 V Street NW -- and for exceeding lot occupancy for the 74 R Street NW two-condo rowhouse.

And now you know.

CM McDuffie issued the following statement in response to the flyers left on cars and posted overnight in Ward 5

See this tweet from our Ward 5 Councilmember McDuffie.

I do not know anything the flier that he is referencing.


See this tweet that has an image of one of the two fliers that appeared around 1st & V St NW:

Bloomingdale's two PUD's: 1) McMillan Sand Filtration site; 2) the Joe Mamo lot


Bloomingdale has two Planned Unit Development (PUD) projects:

1. McMillan Sand Filtration site. bounded by 1st Street NW, Channing Street NW, North Capitol Street NW and Michigan Avenue NW - 2501 1st Street NW.


This image is from Wikipedia.



This image from Vision McMillan Partners


2. Joe Mamo lot at the northwest corner of Florida Avenue NW and North Capitol Street NW, location of a former Exxon gas station -- 1600 North Capitol Street NW.

This project appears to be going nowhere.

One of the renderings of the 1600 North Capitol Street NW PUD project.




Here is Joe Mamo's attorney at the June 2016 Bloomingdale Civic Association meeting, discussing the extension of the project's PUD 


Are there any other lots or sets of lots that might be considered candidates for Planned Unit Development categorization? 

I don't think so.  

Here is a link to a DC Office of Planning document that describes PUDs.

And now you know this!
