The Dallas Plan Commission today will hold a public hearing in regard
to the proposed creation of a conservation district in Little Forest
Hills. The effort has been in the works for several years and has
generated much contention amongst homeowners there. I wrote a piece for
the Advocate in October, The Fight for Funkytown, that delves into some of the issues Little Forest Hills is facing.
Because
the plan commission will consider public opinion when making a
recommendation to the city council, Little Forest Hills residents are
encouraging neighbors to show up to voice their opinions — lots of
folks representing either side of the debate are expected to show.
Thanks
to Randall Heye who forwarded me the reminder — the CPC hearing is
today, Thursday Nov. 6 at 1:30 p.m. at Dallas City Hall, 6th Floor, in
the City Council Chambers. If you plan to attend, bear in mind the
Little Forest Hills hearing is low on the docket, so you should expect
ot be at City Hall until at least 5 p.m.

Meeting finished – application for conservation district was granted.
The LFH Conservation District plan was APPROVED by all members of the Dallas City Plan Commission except one. Our next hurdle is the City Council. We had an awesome turnout of YES neighbors and the panel (Kat, Angie, Mike, Joe, Mick & Melissa) did an outstanding job speaking for us.
That is the most ridiculous conservation district. You are trying to preserve a lifestyle not historically or architecturally significant houses. Most of them need to be scrapped for progress because they look like crack houses. Dallas City Council would be stupid to approve this.
