Updates:

1. Amphitheater planned for Tredegar Green.
· It is slated to seat 5,000 people and accommodate and additional 5,000 standing, as per our meeting with the developer’s representative. No additional parking is planned.
· When the previous amphitheater plan was proposed, the neighborhood raised questions about hours of operation, noise levels, and parking, none of which were ever answered.
o The applicant has informed us that they will start meeting with interested neighbors, including OHNA.

2. An SUP application has been filed with the City of Richmond for the demolition of 708 China Street, and its replacement with a building.
· The Zoning Committee met with the applicant and asked them to reconsider demolition and incorporate the historic building into their new construction.
· The applicant has declined to make revisions, and wishes to proceed with demolition and replacement. This is the application before us this evening.

3. A vote is requested on the following resolution: “Resolved: that OHNA, as a matter of policy, opposes the demolitions of neighborhood buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, both those individually listed and those listed as contributing resources to the Oregon Hill Historic District.”

Continued Business

4. Traffic issues along Idlewood at Cherry and Pine Streets
· There have been several recent accidents at these two locations.
· These two intersections suffer from poor visibility and the high speed of cars exiting 195 east onto Idlewood.
