From Jim Ryder, leader of the MNA committee studying issues surrounding proposed city legislation about auxiliary dwelling units and short-term rentals:
After a short break to concentrate on the Blue Door issue we need to restart our Mentelle ADU committee. Our next meeting is scheduled for March 3, 7 p.m. at 716 Aurora Ave. We will revisit our work to date and plan for the future from there. We are close to reaching consensus that the committee favors a controlled introduction of ADUs into our neighborhood. However this issue is far from settled in the wider community.
Also, please come to the “after planning commission party” at 716 Aurora Ave. on Friday (Feb. 28) at 7 p.m. We hope to celebrate a significant compromise with the Blue Door. If not, we will begin our next steps. In any case, we will have beer, wine and refreshments.
