Round One goes to the communities: The Community wins as the judge
Rules against the zoning board in the Beans and Bread battle
Circuit Court Judge John Howard ruled last month for the litigants led by Douglass Place Neighborhood Assoc. and joined by all the major Fell’s Point community groups, including Fells Prospect on a key aspect of its appeal against expansion the of Beans & Bread’s homeless facility. The judge ordered that the Zoning Board produce minutes of the September 15th decision, which the litigants contend was a travesty. The Board has failed to do so.
Deirdre Hammer, president of the Douglass Place, said in an open letter to public officials (posted on Douglass Place facebook page) that the case is based on an expansion of a homeless facility spearheaded by past-mayor Sheila Dixon’s, steamrolled by the city, and housed at St. Vincent de Paul Society’s Bean & Bread without consulting the community. This has cost “St. Vincent de Paul itself, the residents of Fell’s Point and Baltimore City an inordinate amount of money because of their unwillingness to work with the community, forcing us to battle this expansion for 1 1/2 years,” she said. “Slowly, through much time and effort, St. Vincent de Paul is being made to make the changes the community requested from the very beginning, but at what cost? Baltimore City is facing its worst budget crisis in decades. Is this the proper way to be using taxpayer money?” Her position has support from area community associations and groups.
Delegate Carolyn Krysiak, who testified against the community while also being a member of the board of St. Vincent de Paul announced she will not run for reelection.
