Camelback East Village Planning Committee Meeting

[Source: Barbara Stocklin] -- On Tuesday April 10, HP staff attended the Camelback East Village Planning Committee (VPC) and provided information on the city’s current planning efforts to identify and protect historic post World War II properties. The VPC had requested this update in light of the recent demolition of the Washburn Piano Building (pictured) that was recently demolished at 20th and Camelback Streets, and the newly filed rezoning case potentially affecting the 1968 Weaver and Drover designed bank building at the southeast corner of Camelback and 44th Streets. The VPC voted to establish a subcommittee to come back to the VPC in April with a resolution regarding preservation of post World War II properties. There were approximately 40 persons present at the meeting on this item, with three individuals speaking. [Photo by Elgin MacMillan.]
