7th District Representative and City Council VP Delores McQuinn will be hosting a 7th District Community Meeting this Saturday, May 17th from 11AM–1PM at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church (3200 East Broad Street). Agenda items include the Oakwood Heights Condominium Project, 7th District Community Concerns, and a 7th District Police Report update.

The Commission of Architectural Review meeting began on time with about 25 people in attendence. Except for the Oakwood Heights condo proposal, the remainder of the 11 items on the agenda, if not trivial, seemed at least routine: removal of vinyl siding, replacement of exterior doors, construction of an addition, the painting of a facade. The commission ultimately voted unanimously to both deny the Oakwood Heights application to relocate 3626 East Broad Street and the current design proposal for the 33 condominiums.

A few smaller issues were discussed and resolved or not, and then last on the agenda was a discussion of the proposed Oakwood Heights condo development. The commitee was being asked to consider 2 things today: to review the relocation of the lone house on Broad Street, and the construction of the condominiums.
