Neal Peirce A mounting tide of "teardowns"--older homes demolished to be supplanted by dramatically larger, sometimes ostentatious houses of 5,000 square feet or even 10,000 square feet —is sweeping across many of America's older neighborhoods At the same time, some tightly packed cities —San Francisco for example —are seeing a trend where the front lawns of smaller homes are being converted from gardens to asphalt, paved over to create scarce parking spaces The pressure is reportedly highest among new Immigrants, where several family members may believe they need cars to reach disparate work sites The victims of both practices are neighborhoods that suddenly find their historic character, their ambience and their greenery in serious peril It's easier to get mad with the rich perpetrators than the poor ones Just ask yourself Given the fast shrinkage of the size of the average American family, what in the world is the need for massive living and dining rooms, kitchens large enough to cook meals for dozens of people, multiple bathrooms per person, three or four built-in garages with doors staring blankly at the street, and, upstairs, an eruption of gargantuan bedrooms serviced by dressing rooms large enough to store all of Imelda Marcos' shoes? Not all teardowns are so excessive Some, rt can be argued, are Inevitable What else to do with a small rambler built in the 1950s that even lacks a basement? But this country has seen such a startling "bulking up" of housing dimensions that the new structures seem huge and positively overbearing in a neighborhood of prairle- style bungalows near Chicago, or modest older Tudor -style cottages In Dallas, or mid- sized Victorians in Massachusetts Sometimes the new houses—densively assigned every name from McMansions to Starter Castles to Monster Homes —cut off sunlight or throw blank walls up against neighbors' property lines On occasion, real estate sources confess, the new owners are so anxious to impress others that they ask to have their new houses artificially elevated on a site or have surrounding trees and other vegetation removed Small wonder the National Trust for Historic Preservation, noting the existence of about 100 seriously impacted historic neighborhoods across the country, warns that http //www postwritersgroup comlarcluves/pelr0930 htrn 10/10/02 OCT-10-02 THU 08 56 TOD DRESCHER ARCHITECT 651 433 5601 P 03 er Lawns How To Protect Our Neighborhoods? Page 2 of 3 Neal Peirce Monster Houses And Paved-Ov demolitions are "approaching epidemic proportions," requiring strong countermeasures Of course, there's another side Communities that long felt neglected, even disinvested, are getting a measure of "infill" development, the inflow of dollars, they long sought And sprawl may be tamed as fearfully long and hard commutes drive some households back to the city or older suburbs You'd think most communities would have enough zoning and rules concerning the granting of permits, enough active civic associations to stop the worst abuses Still, there are lots of gray areas, with local officials caught in the middle On one side they're faced by infuriated neighbors, who fear for the very character of the street they've tried for years to promote and revitalize and who have likely invested a big chunk of their life savings Yet officials know that letting an old home give way to a mega -replacement is all but sure to boost tax yields, providing many more dollars for schools and town services notes Shamus Toorrey, correspondent for the Chicago -area Daily Herald So what's to be done? More rules are one approach —local government simply limits new house heights, or caps the percentage of a lot that can be built on Or communities can create design committees, who can put alternatives in front of new home builders and in worst cases just say "no " But what about the other, growing Issue —cars left blocking neighborhood sidewalks, or homeowners actually paving front yards for their extra autos? Such practices can wreck a neighborhood as fast as monster houses Refusing to let their greenery succumb to the almighty automobile some communities are acting Fairfax County, Va , San Francisco and San Jose have begun to limit the percentages of a front lawn a homeowner can pave over for parking With cascading auto registration —even in communities with stagnant population levels —the lawn - paving problem is bound to intensify Do parking curbs discriminate against immigrants with large families? Maybe, in some sltuabons But no class, no income group should be outside the circle when it comes to making neighborhoods enjoyable to live in, sustainable for years to come And while irs true that neighbor -against -neighbor clashes can be incredibly intense, the best long-term answers surely lie in incentives for local consensus and collaboration What if no one were entitled to pull off a teardown or pave a major surface without obtaining a sign -off from three or four dose neighbors? Rules are OK, but they can turn into litigious thickets in the long run, one suspects, incentives for natural neighborhood give -and -take —people up and down the street obliged to know and deal with each other --may be the smartest, most sustainable answer of all Neal Peirce's e-mail address is nrpQcclbstates com hito //www postwritersgroup com/archives4eir0930 htm 10/10/02 OCT-10-02 THU 08 59 TOD DRESCHER ARCHITECT 651 433 5601 P 01 Pnce Chopper tests Brookslde's zoning restnctions Page 1 of 2 KansasCrtyecom KA4913 CITY 9taR Posted on Wed, Oct 09, 2002 Price Chopper tests Brookside's zoning restrictions By MICHAEL MANSUR the Kansas City Star Two years ago, Brookside was abuzz with rumors of national retailers coming to the quaint Kansas City neighborhood Might such a store -- especially one of those so-called big box retailers -- destroy the character of Brookside? Kansas City Council member Jim Rowland set about to thwart that possibility By 2001, the council had approved new zoning regulations for Brookside that set limits on new retailers Big -tax stores would be too big, under the ordinance Minimum parking? That concept was tossed out Instead, the council set maximum limits that ensured no giant parking tots for a suburban -type store This year brought a prime test of the new zoning restrictions Price Chopper purchased the former Milgrams store at 6327 Brookside Blvd and began to renovate the building It couldn't expand It or the adjacent parking lot because of the new Brookside zoning restrictions It also had to meet certain architectural requirements that can increase the cost but keep the building more in line with the character of Brookside, Rowland said "We knew going in what the restrictions were," said John Cosentino, whose family owns the Price Chopper "And we were pleased with it " If they could have erected a big -box store, they might have, Cosentino acknowledged But the new Brookside restrictions also protect Price Chopper's Investment, ensuring that some national retailer doesn't erect a giant store In the neighborhood "The store Is doing really well,' Cosentino added "Brookside is rare It's a little (Country Club) Plaza It should be saved " Rowland said the zoning changes in Brookside were Intended to keep the pedestrian feel of Brookside "Big -box stores don't have a place in some parts of the city," Rowland said 'And Brookside Is one of them " The success of Price Chopper, which had to live within the new limits that most groceries would object to, shows that the rules aren't too restrictive, Rowland added Now, the new zoning restrictions, given their success in Brookside, should make clear that other areas of town may be prime for similar restrictions, he said 'There's a lot of little places where this might work," Rowland said http //www kansascrty com/mid/kansascitystar/news/local/4238271 htm?template=contentModules/1 10110/02 Price Chopper tests Brooksidds zoning restrictions Page 2 of 2 In union Hill, for one, developers and planners are studying the Brookside zoning rules They are likely to adopt similar zoning rules for that area, bounded by Giiiham and Main streets on the east and west, said Bob Frye, president of Phoenix Redevelopment, the Union Hill project developer The Brookside rules "are really good and address our existing neighborhood conditions," Frye said "We will modify them a little but the spirit of it should be absolutely Intact " The success of the Price Chopper in Brookside will make it easier to sell Union Hill and other neighborhoods on such restrictions, Frye added "It always helps when it's been proven elsewhere," he said To reach Michael Mansur, call (816) 234-4433 or send a mall to mrrlansur@kcstar corn C 2WI kanv L%11%vw %n I ium sen ice a uses Ali Right' RcsL 1 al Nip wuw kw*=irycorn http //www kansascity com/mld/kansascitystar/news/locaV4238271 htm?template=contentModules/{ 10/10/02
