PETE ROSSCANDIDATE FOR WARD 2 COUNCILMEMBER
7 July 2000 Dear Ward 2 Neighbor, Our historic buildings and districts help make Ward 2 special. They are a key part of Ward 2's economic and social vitality. However, our Councilmember, Jack Evans, doesn't seem to think so, at least judging by a recent vote in the council Jack Evans recently voted for a gigantic loophole in our basic preservation law. He supported the big developers by voting for a provision that would automatically let a demolition application be deemed approved if an arbitrary deadline was not met This means that a developer/owner could get permission to tear a building down if the city just sat on the demolition application until the deadline passed This anti-historic preservation bill comes up for a second reading in the Council on Tuesday, 11 July 2000. Please call (724-8058), fax (724-8023), and e-mail (jackevans@dccouncil.washington.dc.us) Jack Evans and ask him to reverse his anti-historic preservation vote. Also, ask your neighbors to assist in this effort. Please help us save Ward 2's historic heritage. Very Truly Yours, |
