City Councilman Jim Kraft asked residents to pay attention to Transform Baltimore, the complete overhaul of the city’s zoning code, which will apply to all of Baltimore’s approximately 250,000 properties, and is currently before City Council.
“You start talking about zoning, and everybody goes to sleep,” he lamented at last week’s Fell’s Point Community Organization meeting.
Normally, there are two opportunities for properties to change zoning, Kraft said. One is “if there was a mistake” the last time the code was overhauled, in this case 1971.
The other is “if there is a radical change in the character of the neighborhood,” an occurrence, he said, that happens “particularly in the Southeast.”
With Transform Baltimore, he said, “you can rezone it just because you want to rezone it.”
The property next to your home, Kraft argued while acknowledging he was giving an extreme example, could change its zoning to become a “20-story high rise.”
Several decisions being considered have particular import to the Southeast, Kraft said.
Among those are the square footage required to convert a single-family dwelling into a two-family dwelling, and whether footprint size—as opposed to simply interior area—should also be considered.
Kraft asks residents not to sleep through zoning overhaulby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]
“In the Southeast, we have worked very hard to keep people from putting two units in 1,000-square-foot buildings,” Kraft said.
Also up for discussion is parking, and whether an off-street parking space should be required of developers dividing single-family residences into two separate units.
“Another discussion is, should there be no requirement for parking spaces at all?” Kraft added, noting that cities such as Boston and Portland have abolished parking requirements in order “to get people out of their cars.”
It has already been decided that there will be no new parking lots downtown, Kraft said. “We’re building a city for people to live in; we’re not building parking lots,” he said.
The councilman added that the Southeast particularly must consider density when revisiting the zoning code.
“Everybody wants to live in southeast Baltimore,” he said. “They don’t want to live anywhere else in the city.”
He noted that in the last councilmatic redistricting, his 1st District, which contains much of the Southeast, was deemed to have 2,500 residents too many.
“That was even though we know there was a large immigrant population that didn’t even get counted,” Kraft said. “People want to live here; where are we going to put them?”
Kraft said that he and a group of Southeast community leaders have been going through the proposed zoning overhaul “page by page.”
“If you’re interested, come, sit in and take part in that,” he said.
Zoning affects parking, too. | Photo by Erik Zygmont

City residents could face a tax hike to cover a portion of the Red Line’s projected price tag of $2.6 billion.
Maryland Senate Bill 772, sponsored by District 32 Senator James DeGrange of Anne Arundel County and Senate President Thomas “Mike” Miller of Prince George’s and Calvert Counties, proposed the formation of “transit benefits districts,” which would have had the power to fund transit projects within their borders by levying additional state property taxes within their borders.
One of the proposed transit benefit districts in the failed bill would have been the “Baltimore metropolitan region.”
Had the bill become law, then, the Red Line project would have likely fallen within that benefit district, and the property owners within could have been charged, in part, for a portion of the cost. The Right Rail Coalition contends that Senate Bill 772 failed due to the fact that it was introduced in an election year, and they believe that a similar bill will be introduced next legislative session.
Of the Red Line’s $2.6 billion price tag, $900 million is widely presumed to be coming from federal funds. The rest—$1.7 billion—could come from the state’s Transportation Trust Fund, though some sources--including the Right Rail Coalition--say that there will be a burden of at least $200 million on Baltimore City specifically.
In a letter to Gov. Martin O’Malley that expressed support for the Red Line while urging him to take another look at it, the 46th District Delegation—including delegates Pete Hammen, Luke Clippinger and Brian McHale, as well as State Senator Bill Ferguson—noted that the current iteration of the rail line asks state and local taxpayers to fund “an unprecedented and unbalanced share” of the cost, which they noted had also risen drastically from an original projection of $1.6 billion.
More recently, local legislators at the state level have asked the MTA to specify just how much Baltimore City (and Baltimore County) is expected to contribute to the Red Line, as well as the status of any dialog that may be going on between the city and the MTA regarding that contribution.
While the full picture of funding has not fully emerged, the process is clearly underway.
At the same time, the Right Rail Coalition has released their alternate plan.
“We’ve been working on this a long time,” said Marty Taylor, president of the group, adding that some members are former transit planners.
“Our goal with this plan is to save the Red
Line, and make it a real, system-wide plan that would allow Baltimore to become a more connected city.”
Although the Canton neighborhood is widely known for its high levels of resistance to the Red Line, members of the Right Rail Coalition say that they are committed to sustainable public transportation.
“We are users of public transportation, appreciate it and believe that it is a necessary and critical component for viable urban living,” states the “About Us” section of the group’s website, rightrailcoalition.org.
In a newly-published pamphlet entitled “Red Line Fiction vs. Fact,” the Right Rail Coalition has laid out its case for its alternative plan.
Citing the MTA’s decision last month to relocate the Harbor East Red Line stop, the group disputes the argument that it is too late to change the current plan.
“Our real goal is to get this [pamphlet] in front of as many people as we can, including politicians,” Taylor said, “and make people realize that if you don’t push pause now, you’re not going to get what you think.”
The western portions of the Red Line plan and the Right Rail Coalition’s alternative are more or less the same. However, where the Red Line would turn south and head to the waterfront, which it would hug from Inner Harbor through Canton, the Right Rail Coalition’s plan plugs into Baltimore’s existing subway at a “multi-modal” hub at Lexington Market. Rather than hug the waterfront, the Right Rail plan then follows the existing subway to Johns Hopkins Hospital.
From there, an extension would be added to the existing tunnel, west to a point near the Berea neighborhood and the East Baltimore Development Inc. project, where the rail would emerge from the ground. It would then connect to the MARC train before continuing on to its end at Bayview.
The Right Rail Coalition argues that, by utilizing and extending the existing subway, a larger and faster train than the proposed Red Line, they have created a plan for a faster and more efficient transport system.
The Right Rail Coalition says that their plan would cost $1.75 billion. Not included in the cost is a streetcar system that they say would eventually tie in the waterfront neighborhoods and other points to the core line.
The Right Rail Coalition will be presenting their argument and plan at the next Canton Community Association meeting, Tuesday, May 27, 7 p.m., at the United Evangelical Church, 3200 Dillon St. The plan may also be viewed online at rightrailcoalition.com. The MTA plan is available at redlinebaltimore.com.

More than 20 residents of the Patterson Park neighborhood protested the transfer of a liquor license to 35 N. Potomac St. from 105 S. Conkling St. at last week’s Liquor Board hearing because they feel the transfer will have a negative impact on their community.
Representatives from the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association submitted a petition, signed by 50 residents, outlining their 10 reasons for opposing, which include: lack of need in the community, lack of desire, fear of disturbance and nuisance, increased trash and loitering, and complaints of assault, disorderly conduct, prostitution, and narcotics at 105 N. Conkling, where the potential licensee worked.
David Leibensperger, president of the PPNA and an attorney, acted as PPNA’s counsel.
Alfredo Vazquez, the potential licensee, submitted a petition in support of the transfer, which Leibensperger claimed had signatures from people who lived elsewhere.
Melvin Kodenski, Vazquez’s counsel, said some of the signatures were from potential customers—as was allowed—and they didn’t necessarily live in the area.
Leibensperger asked Vazquez if he knew the name of the community group that was
Patterson Park neighbors oppose bar in marathon hearing; decision pendingopposing the transfer.
“Patterson Park something…” Vazquez said. Leibensperger asked Vazquez if he was
familiar with alleged crime and prostitution, that occurred near the Conkling St. bar.
“Crime in Highlandtown is everywhere,” said Vazquez.
He noted that he was not the licensee at 105 S. Conkling; he just worked there.
Though 105 S. Conkling St. had no liquor violations on record, the PPNA produced a list of 34 individual calls for service to the police relating to the establishment from January 2013 through February 2014.
Acting Liquor Board Chair Elizabeth Smith asked Vazquez if he knew what loitering is and if he could identify drug dealing. Commissioner Harvey Jones asked how Vazquez would direct his staff to prevent these problems and if his tavern would have a police “call sheet.”
Vazquez replied, “I’ll lay down the rules,” adding that he would have cameras at his tavern.
Rev. William Parks, who runs Teen Challenge, a men’s faith-based drug- and alcohol-recovery program, located across the street from the proposed tavern, told the board that the tavern would adversely affect every resident in the program, and that he fears its
presence could trigger drug- or alcohol-seeking behavior.
“Every drug addict in our program started on alcohol,” Parks said.
Teen Challenge’s recovery program is 14 months long, and its residents have limited access to cash and never leave the building unchaperoned, Parks told the board.
“We feel that they are always in need of protection,” Parks said.
One Teen Challenge client addressed the board. He said he was 48 years old and an alcoholic for most of his life. He said he loved drinking, smoking, and drugs, and that bars were his “safe haven” and would bring back memories of drinking.
“Bars is what most of us [at Teen Challenge] are trying to get away from,” he said.
Kodenski asked the client how many drug or alcohol rehab centers he had been to in his life.
“About 15,” the client replied.Kodenski then asked the client when he had
last been in a bar.“February 22 in Philly,” the client replied.Kodenski asked: “You ever been to a bar in
Baltimore?”The client replied: “No. Not yet.”Njinga Jenkins, who lives on Potomac St.,
next addressed the board. She said she has
lived in the neighborhood for 22 years and is a block watch captain, and that she has seen the neighborhood deteriorate and come back.
“I’m an addiction specialist and I have five or six clients in the area who gave birth to babies who suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome,” she said.
Since a problem bar left the area a few years ago, Jenkins claimed, the neighborhood was “clean and free.”
The next resident to speak was Catherine Velopulos, a trauma surgeon. Velopulos spoke to the relationship between alcohol and violence.
“A lot of shootings and stabbings happen near bars’ closing times, and many victims are over the legal limit,” she said, noting the disproportionately negative impact alcohol density has on transitional neighborhoods like hers.
At the end of the hearing, Commissioner Smith announced that a decision would be made May 22. Smith later realized that she had misspoke, and that the board would be on recess at that time and not meet again until June 12.
Patrick Lundberg, who coordinated the protest and sits on PPNA board, told the Guide:

“You think you know Baltimore because you own a television? Can recite Poe? Maybe a distant relative had some rare and awful thing cut out of their brain at Johns Hopkins Hospital and lived to eat the best crab cake of their life before flying home.”
--from “Junie Bug,” a short story in Rafael Alvarez’s “Tales from the Holy Land.”
Those wishing to cultivate knowledge of the city may head to Little Italy on Friday night for a quintessentially Baltimore event.
In simple, tourism-oriented terms, it’s Edgar Allan Poe, “The Wire,” Highlandtown, Little Italy cuisine and Gypsy jazz, all coming together in a show at Germano’s Cabaret, 300 S. High St., Friday, May 23, 7:30 p.m.
Truthfully, the show doesn’t have too much to do with “The Wire,” except that a reading by Rafael Alvarez, one of the series’ writers, is the main event of the evening.
It is frequently proclaimed that “Baltimore is so much more than ‘The Wire,’” and the same is certainly true of Alvarez, who wrote for the Sun for over 20 years and continues to contribute to both the Sun and City Paper, among other projects including eight books.
Alvarez will be reading “The Fountain of Highlandtown,” a short story from his most recent book, “Tales from the Holy Land,” a collection that takes place mostly in East Baltimore.
A reading from ‘The Holy Land’by ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected] “In my fiction, the Holy Land is basically
your coverage area,” Alvarez told the Baltimore Guide, which he still calls by its older name, the “East Baltimore Guide.”
(He’s not quite on the level of the elderly ladies that come in and ask for a “Shoppers Guide.”)
The stories we’ve read so far from “Tales from the Holy Land”—check for a full review at a later date—have been gentle-hearted, simultaneously plain-spoken and poetic, and satisfying rather than shocking. Alvarez clearly loves Baltimore, as his work highlights the human ties and spirit that continue despite the headaches—for some in this city, migraines—of living.
“The Fountain of Highlandtown” is Alvarez’s best-known work of fiction. It follows an evening in the life of Basilio, a young man who lives with his deteriorating grandfather in Greektown.
“This is a perfect story to be accompanied by Spanish classical guitar,” said Alvarez. “I chose to read it as opposed to something else because it’s a local favorite.”
Alvarez will read aloud the story, which is written from three characters’ points of view, while guitarist Michael Joseph Harris accompanies him on acoustic guitar in the genre of Gypsy jazz, a style attributed to Django Reinhardt, an actual Gypsy who many regard as the best jazz guitarist of all time.

Last Wednesday in Patterson Park, city kids enjoyed a favorite activity of kids all over: putting their hands on slimy frogs.
The 48th annual Preakness Frog Hop, which celebrates the eponymous horse race in a way kids can appreciate, is one of three still-running annual Patterson Park events established by Virginia S. Baker herself. The other two are the Doll Show and the Chesapeake Turtle Derby.
In the Preakness Frog Hop, a youngster or team of youngsters is given a frog, which is set down on the starting spot and allowed three jumps. Whoever’s frog travels the farthest wins.
This year, young students from St. Casimir’s School and Patterson Park Public Charter School participated in the event.
“We do have a lot of frogs this year, thanks to our frog wrangler Lou Hoge,” said Bob Wall, recreation chief for the Department of Recreation and Parks, which holds the event.
Hoge said that he gets the bullfrogs from the Greystone Golf Course in White Hall.
Prior to starting the fun, Wall laid down an important ground rule:
“No stomping,” he said. “We almost had a casualty a couple years back.”
And with that, the event became a pleasant blur of yelling kids and jumping frogs.
The next big kids’ event in Patterson Park is the Family Fishing Festival, set for Saturday, June 7, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Patterson Park Boat Lake.

Wolfe Street students celebrate aspirations with community art project, block partyby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]
“Someday I will be an astronaut,” wrote one student.
“Someday I will be a vet,” wrote another.Last weekend, Wolfe St. Academy, the pre-
K-5 school in Upper Fell’s Point at Wolfe and Gough streets, unveiled a community art project, a chalkboard that allows students, teachers, parents and passers-by to share their aspirations in both English and Spanish.
The school created the board in conjunction with the Upper Fell’s Point Improvement Association and Mosaic Makers, a not-for-profit arts program that engages communities in creating murals and mosaics with broken plates, tiles and pottery.
“Children have such pure optimism, and we want the to see the world as being full of
potential and opportunity,” said Molly Fein, a member of the UFPIA Education Committee and coordinator of the project, in a press release.
“As this project began to take shape with the kids, we felt like the open-endedness of ‘someday’ and the sense of ownership in the phrase ‘I will’ really captured our hope for these children and for our community; that we all be encouraged to think big, and empowered to make it happen.”
The unveiling included a block party on Gough St. with performances by Wolfe Street Academy students, including music, traditional Mexican dance, and even a rap.
Wolfe Street Academy is a charter school that accepts all students within its geographic zone. It is operated, along with Hampstead Hill Academy and City Springs School.

released a new album entitled “Ultra Faux,” plays at Germano’s frequently. He has met with Alvarez to get a feel for the story and “what works,” but his accompaniment on Friday will be largely interpretive.
“I’m going to play pretty much anything that comes to mind as he’s reading,” said Harris.
And how does Edgar Allan Poe figure into the evening? Alvarez’s friend Luis Del Rio will open the evening with a performance of his original song, “A Penny for Poe,” about the school children who helped raise money for Poe’s proper burial.
“For me, that is one of the most poetic things I have encountered,” he said. “I mean, children organizing to rescue the poet of the darkness.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
LiquoR: Alcohol has direct effect, says group
Much has been said of Poe, but we have heard no one other than the Argentinian-born Del Rio describe him in terms of the tango.
“And tango is an art form that does not shy away from pain,” he said, “it will look it straight in the eye to create something beautiful with it.”
“In that sense, Poe could be said to be very tanguero.”
Find Luis Eel Rio at luisdelrio.bandcamp.com. Find Michael Joseph Harris at michaeljosephharris.com. Rafael Alvarez’s work can be found at alvarezfiction.com. To purchase tickets for Friday’s reading at Germano’s, visit germanospiattini.com, or call Germano’s at 410-752-4515.
“Selling liquor in any city is not a right--it’s a privilege and a responsibility, and something that needs to be earned and its implications understood.”
“As exhibited by our group at the hearing, the sale and presence of alcohol in urban
communities has a direct, and in many cases a negative, effect upon the health and well-being of neighborhoods. Communities, neighborhood associations, and the Liquor Board have a responsibility to understand and address these issues--and how their presence might shape the neighborhoods of Baltimore.”

Will he hit a homer anytime soon? | Photo by Keith Allison, via Wikimedia Commons
As I write this article, the clock states that it is 12:46 p.m. on Monday, May 19. One thing it does not show—but I’ve been waiting for it—is J.J. Hardy’s first home run this season.
If you think I’m worried though, I’m not. So far, through 34 games and 129 at-bats,
Hardy has yet to hit his first home run of the 2014 season. Some might find that odd, given the power-hitting shortstop’s track record over the past few seasons with the Orioles, but I’m not too concerned. At least not yet.
Last year Hardy hit 25 home runs. In 2012 he hit 22, and in 2011 he hit 30, so fans are accustomed to watching the heavy-hitting shortstop put the ball over the fence.
I tell those fans that patience is a virtue. One issue to keep in mind during this
power outage could be his troublesome hamstring (a strained right hamstring to be specific) which has caused him to miss some time this year. Hamstring injuries can be nagging over the course of a long, 162-game season. Over his last seven games he is batting .296 (eight for 27) with two doubles.
While he has yet to go yard this season, I wouldn’t mind too much. If we go back in time to last year, Hardy hit his first home runs on April 4. In 2012, Hardy hit his first home run on April 8. If we go back to his first

season in Baltimore though, he didn’t hit his first home run until May 10. In fact, by June 1, he had hit only two home runs (the other on May 15), and as I mentioned earlier, he went on to hit 30 that year.
So let’s wait just a little before we hit the panic button.
Luckily for the O’s, Nelson Cruz has been picking up the home run slack, hitting 12 so far, which is good for second in the American League behind Jose Abreu’s 15. So while we wait for Hardy to get his first, let’s enjoy watching the O’s battle for first with or without a Hardy home run.

RemembrancesHoliday get-togethers can be difficult affairs for some, particularly in the first year
after the loss of a loved one. The conspicuous absence of a passed loved one amid feeling of holiday togetherness can evoke considerable sadness. Those who must endure the emotions swirling around the loss of a loved one during the holidays are encouraged to resist the understandable urge to withdraw from the holiday spirit. Instead, they may want to seize upon the holiday to come together with others who are feeling the loss, and join with them in loving remembrances of the departed. Doing so may well help allay their sadness and might even evoke a nearly a palpable presence of the departed.As family and friends gather to celebrate the holidays, our longing for a love one
who has died, or for the shared times that have passed, may intensify. This holiday season, gift yourself with time set aside to intentionally remember and celebrate your loved one. The death of a loved one is a difficult time. If final arrangements have not been made prior to death, there are many decisions that must be made. Connelly Funeral Home can assist you in planning and coordinating all the details.
