Important Message about the Organic Debris Pick Up Program

/in /by

At the April 2021 RPCL board meeting, the Finance Committee, in preparation for the new fiscal year which starts May 1, 2021, presented a compelling case that the organic debris pick up program as it currently exists is not financially sustainable.  The Board voted to temporarily suspend the program pending further review and with community input on the viability of the program going forward.  Our contractor has kindly agreed to do a pick up in May for those registering in April.  We thank our residents for their patience in this process as the RPCL Finance Committee and the officers and directors of the board uphold their fiduciary responsibility to our community.

This link will take you to the website page on the program, where you can request pick up for the month of May: https://rolandpark.org/community-resources/organic-debris-pickup/

Zoom Meeting on plans for the Overlook site: Wednesday, March 10th 7:30PM

/in , /by
Blue Ocean Group has the Overlook site under contract to Claiborne Senior Living of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, owner / operators of senior living homes.
Claiborne proposes to build a senior living facility with 80 assisted living and 30 memory care units on the Overlook footprint. Claiborne’s building would be significantly lower in height and have fewer units and parking spaces.
Lehr Stream, along with Poplar Hill Association, NRPIA, Sabina/Mattfeldt Association and the Roland Park Civic League, will host a Zoom call with Claiborne March 10, 2021 at 7:30 pm. Claiborne will explain their proposal and the permissions they will need from the city to build it.
Here is the Zoom link:

Claiborne provided a number of illustrations of their proposal. Here is the site plan for the proposed three story building, approximately the same footprint as the Overlook, with one entrance in and out near the Northern Parkway entrance to the Falls. There are no other roads planned, either for construction or upon completion.
Here is the same information in a rendering:
An important consideration for the community is the height and total elevation of the proposed building compared to the Falls. Here is an architectural elevation showing the elevation of the Falls to be 355 feet and the new building 343 feet. The proposed building is 35 feet in height, plus the parapets to cover the mechanical units on the roof.
Many more illustrations are available in the Dropbox files provided by Claiborne:
Please plan to join the community Zoom on the 10th!
