Community Conversation featuring East CAC neighborhoods

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Celebrating Ordinary Architecture

Raleigh has many post-WWII neighborhoods of modest colonial and ranch houses like Rochester Heights or Cameron Village. What makes these houses and neighborhoods special? What techniques are there for updating these smaller, mid-century architectural gems? To find out, please join the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission (RHDC) and Preservation North Carolina for a Community Conversation where local experts will discuss the character, charm, and evolution of Raleigh’s post-War neighborhoods. Subdivisions discussed will include Battery Heights, Cameron Village, Capitol Heights, Hi-Mount, Longview Gardens, Madonna Acres, and Rochester Heights.

Celebrating Ordinary Architecture

7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

Experts will include architectural historian Cynthia de Miranda, architects Tina Govan and Jerry Traub, and contractor Chris Jokisch. For more information, visit www.rhdc.org or call 919.832.7238.

Z-24-10 (Poole and Norwood) to be heard at Sept. meeting

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Dan Coleman contacted me yesterday to ask that his Z-24-10 case be added to our agenda. As our October meeting would come a day after the public hearing for Z-14-10 (which is Oct 19th at 2 PM in front of City Council), I will instead add it to our September agenda.

Z-24-10 is a rezoning case for the convenience store property at Poole and Norwood. You can find the filed case here.

As mentioned before, our next CAC meeting is Monday, Sept. 20th at 7 PM at Lions Park Community Center, 516 Dennis Avenue.

Also, be sure to attend this year’s Raleigh Neighborhood Exchange, where I’ll be a speaker discussing how to connect communities.
