Development Review Committee Seeks Expertise of Local Architects and Senior Builders
A rchitects and senior builders are being sought to assist the neighborhood by volunteering for Hyde Park's Development Review Committee. The committee assists current and prospective neighbors in evaluating possible redesign or expansion in the area. Hyde Park owes much of its beauty and character to layers of zoning that govern the size and shape of structures within its boundaries.
The primary design guideline is the area's "NCCD" -- Neighborhood
Conservation and Combining District. An NCCD is already in place
for the original Hyde Park subdivision between 38th and 45th, and
some developers north of 45th are already tailoring their site
plans to fit the new northern NCCD expected to be adopted by the
city early this spring.

for free in the spirit of celebrating and preserving Hyde
Park's unique character. Consultations concerning historic
properties are also available. These meetings almost always
lead to a better understanding of the limitations and
opportunities that may accompany a change to a home or
lot in Hyde Park.
The Hyde Park Neighborhood Association is asking interested architects and experienced builders to become familiar with the NCCD and other zoning guidelines and serve as advisors to those seeking guidance from the neighborhood. Working together, we can help maintain the magic of one this city's best places to live, while helping all concerned to manage expectations and avoid costly red tape. Local architects and builders, this would a great service to your community. If you can, please contact Development Review Chairman Stan Kozinsky at 451-4455. Your time and talent will make a true difference for our community.
