Cedar Park Neighbors Newsletter Celebrating Cedar Park Letter from the President By Michael Froehlich here’s been a lot to celebrate this T summer in our neighborhood. As I write this, we just wrapped up another great year of Friday night jazz in Cedar Park. We had originally proposed eight shows, but we were able to add a few more, thanks to contributions from neighbors and our wonderful sponsors, Little Baby’s Ice Cream, PFCU, Holly Mack-Ward and weknowwestphilly.com, the Gold Standard Café, UC Review, Gregg and Rachel Mohrmann, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts/Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts. In June, we welcomed several new board members and hosted a new-member orientation breakfast with past and present Cedar Park Neighbors (CPN) leadership to talk about all of the wonderful things the organization has done and is doing.
In July, our friends at Garden Court Community Association co-presented ParkJam in Malcolm X Park, bringing out families from throughout the neighborhood to dance and play. We released the results of our 18-month survey of over 500 neighbors about what we value about our community, what we see as our challenges, and what we want to do about them. We also announced the seven recipients of the Cedar Park Neighbors scholarships which help local students who are attending college. Still later in July, Shakespeare in Clark Park celebrated its seventh season with a free performance of The Tempest in the Clark Park Bowl. They also announced that next year’s performance of Henry IV will feature a choreographed battle scene starring hundreds of neighbors. continued on page 2

More than 100 neighbors joined together in Cedar Park on Wednesday, August 28, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech. The event, organized by CPN member Algernong Allen, brought a diverse gathering of community members together to listen, reflect, and discuss.
President’s Message continued from page 1 Throughout the summer, it also seemed like new businesses were opening their doors every couple of weeks. Little Baby’s Ice Cream opened in May, and several weeks later, the University City District installed a public parklet for everyone’s use near their ice cream parlor. The Cedar Works opened on the 4900 block of Pentridge, providing a home for over 20 artists and others who want to work in a community space. On the 5000 block of Baltimore Avenue, neighbor Vanessa Jerolmack proposes to open Taco Angelino and Aksum owner Saba Tedla announced plans to open a new restaurant called Babylon Bistro. At the crazy intersection at 48th and Baltimore, a pedestrian plaza was installed to make things just a little safer for us pedestrians as we try to cross the street. And finally, Lea Elementary School, through the efforts of community group Greening Lea, have raised over $250,000 to improve the playground at 47th and Spruce Streets. Of course, there’s also been some sad news in the neighborhood, too. Our public schools are being cruelly and intentionally

starved of state funding. Wilson Elementary School and University City High School have now closed, and other neighborhood schools are planning on opening in September with far less than the money they need. Episodes of crime continue to occur in our neighborhood more frequently than we would like. And Gerald McHugh, Sr., a co-founder of Cedar Park Neighbors in 1960, passed away in August (see page 8). But on whole, we continue to be optimistic about our neighborhood. If you’re not a current member of CPN, please join or renew today.

Pending Review in September: Zoning Committee Updates By Maureen Tate, Zoning Committee Chair
4817 Baltimore Avenue
he Zoning Committee is pleased to have welcomed several new members to the Committee and was able to take a brief August respite before resuming work on new issues in September. The following applications were addressed or are pending review in September.
The applicant seeks legalization of its current use as a four unit dwelling. The applicant will present to interested neighbors at the next CPN Zoning Committee meeting on Thursday, September 19, at 8 p.m. at the Calvary Center, 48th & Baltimore, in the first floor chapel.
T
532 S. 52nd Street
The application was seeking a permit for a two-family dwelling in an existing attached structure, which would allow this commercially zoned address to continue to be used as a residential-only property. Under the Philadelphia Code, such buildings, on commercial corridors zoned as CPX-2, are required to have a commercial space at street level. Upon review of the application, CPN determined that the property had been rented as two apartments for at least 25 years and had become vacant. The elderly owners needed to sell the property, as ongoing ownership and upkeep were unsustainable. Neighbors were informed of the application and invited to a meeting with the applicant. Following the discussion and lack of objection, CPN submitted a letter of no objection to the ZBA. The permit was approved.
5019 Baltimore Avenue
The applicant and property owner is seeking a special exception permit, for a semi-detached take-out food trailer with exterior seating, to accommodate a new business, Taco Angeleno. The application also seeks approval for the erection of a seven-foot fence. Taco Angeleno will serve take-out Mexican food prepared off-site. The trailer would remain primarily on-site with outdoor seating but would also remain mobile in order to provide vendor services at occasional off-site special events. The applicant will be available to present to interested neighbors and the CPN Zoning Committee at its next meeting on Thursday, September 19, at 7:15 p.m. at the Calvary Center, 48th & Baltimore in the 1st floor chapel.
TACO TRUCK AT 5019 BALTIMORE?
anessa Jerolmack, a resident of the V 5000 block of Catherine Street, recently purchased the empty lot behind her house, which faces Baltimore Avenue. It is in this location that she hopes to open a taco truck called Taco Angeleno, which she calls “her dream.� Vanessa recently trained for a year in the arts of Mexican food preparation in the kitchen of Loco Pez in
Fishtown. Now, if she gains the approval for some additional zoning features, including a take-out license, the truck with adjacent outdoor seating will open in spring 2014. Vanessa will present about her project to interested neighborhood residents at the next CPN Zoning Committee meeting on September 19th at 7:15 p.m. at Cavalry Church (48th & Baltimore).

Staying Groovy: Jazz in the Park
Audience members of all ages enjoyed the Summer Friday Night Jazz in Cedar Park lineup.
By Algernong Allen s another season of Friday Night Jazz A in Cedar Park draws to a close, along with the sweet days of summer, we are able to look back to fond memories of wonderful music-filled evenings, and look forward to next year’s rotation of artists expected to pop up and perform in the little park at 49th and Baltimore. We can reflect on a season of mirthful children filling the playground with choruses of laughter, harmonizing with the melodic movements of jamming musicians, as well as spectators sprawled on blankets, relaxed on unfolded chairs, parked on benches, or perched on walls to enjoy the summer’s line up. A constellation of spectacular artists contributed their talents this year: Dr. Ketchup, Ronin Ali, Glenn Bryan and Reference Point, Rich Tucker and the Universal Koncept, The Jazz Doctors, and Lucky Thompson. Perseverance Jazz Band was rained out twice, unfortunately. Of course, many thanks go out to CPN and the Jazz Committee, Monica Allison, Karen Allen, Michael Froehlich and myself, for the production of this event. The continued commitment of these individuals, and the organization’s belief in the value of the series is greatly appreciated. We couldn’t do this each year without the attendees of the concerts, whom, through their physical attendance and weekly orange bucket contributions, make the show all that it is and will continue to be going forward. And yes, sincere thanks to our commercial partners and sponsors who handle the Page 4

bulk of the financial heavy lifting for this project. We sincerely hope therefore, that you support those local businesses who support us, namely: Holly Mack Ward & Co. Real Estate, Philadelphia Federal Credit Union, Little Baby’s Ice Cream, UC Review, the Gold Standard Cafe, Gregg & Rachel Mohrmann and Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. It has been a pleasure to be in the park with you friends and neighbors! A fond farewell to Jazz, to borrow those hip lyrics of Bill Shakespeare, “Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.” Stay groovy my friends. This project is supported by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency, through the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA), its regional arts funding partnership. State government funding for the arts depends upon an annual appropriation by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. PPA is administered in this region by the Greater Philadelphia. Cultural Alliance.

Soccer Shots Comes to Cedar Park By David Hincher tarting in September, Soccer Shots Sto Cedar will bring their youth soccer program Park. Soccer Shots is a national program created in collaboration with childhood education specialists, professional soccer players, and experienced and licensed soccer coaches. They use creative and age-appropriate curricula, infusing each lesson plan with enthusiasm and structured activity through a mixture of play and learning basic soccer skills. The program will serve kids ages two to four, will divide participants into two potential age groups: two year olds, three to four year olds. This will supplement the neighborhood’s Clark Park Youth Soccer League, which serves youth aged five to 11. Starting September 14, Soccer Shots will run for two hours once a week on Saturday mornings. This will be a trial eight-week season from September 14 thru November 16. During each week’s two hour time frame, they will provide two to three session times, which are
30 to 40 minutes each. Sessions will occur on two small grass sections of the park on the far west and north sides of the park. With the use of two small fields running programs simultaneously, Soccer Shots will provide classes for a maximum of 15 to 17 children during each 40minute time slot. There is a registration fee to participate, which goes towards paying coaches and maintaining equipment. More information on this program is available through the CPN website. CPN is excited to bring this youth program to Cedar Park and we look forward to a fun and active fall season.

Surveying the Future of the Neighborhood By David Hincher, Chair, CPN Development Impact Task Force s part of a city-wide Phila2035 A planning effort, the Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC) asked CPN and other local organizations to participate in the community plan for Southwest Philadelphia and University City. CPN created a neighborhood survey to determine resident’s desires and concerns regarding development and provide a basis to best represent the interests of as many Cedar Park residents as possible. During the summer of 2012, surveys were distributed at a kick-off meeting, Dollar Stroll days, doorto-door, within the newsletter, by email list, and through the CPN website and Facebook page. More than 500 Cedar Park residents participated in the survey about the future of the neighborhood. Over several months, members of the CPN Board and Development Impact Task Force have analyzed and compiled the survey data. CPN also researched recent census data to contextualize the changes seen and experienced over the last decade. Within the survey responses, there was wide agreement from survey respondents on many important topics. Almost universally, there was excitement about increased vitality of the Baltimore Avenue commercial corridor, the decreasing number of blighted/vacant properties and the sense of community that residents feel here. CPN residents love their community and for many of the same reasons. A sense of community, access to public transit, walkability, bikeability, green space, architectural character, affordability, and racial and economic diversity are the top reasons that Cedar Park residents choose to live in the neighborhood. On matters of zoning, residents want to see more growth and amenities along commercially zoned areas of the neighborhood, and a majority of respondents prefer that new commercial development be led by local business owners. Most neighbors desire future development that is compatible with the character and style of existing architecture. This feedback also parallels and builds upon insight gathered during the 2010 Baltimore Avenue conversation. The full 40-page report with data and analysis is available on the Cedar Park Neighbors website. Page 6
CPN Newsletter
Beyond the PCPC community planning effort, the “Future of the Neighborhood” survey results, and Baltimore Avenue Conversation are influencing efforts within the Development Impact Task Force. During the spring, we crafted development principles to aid our group, the Zoning Committee, and Board towards guiding how the neighborhood grows and evolves. CPN developed the principles for both residential and commercial development that encourages investment in the community. Below are some of the principles; the full list of development principles are available on the CPN website.
Overarching Principles Commercial development should add value and enhance the quality of life.
As a community with a rich history and bright future, CPN prefers new residential and commercial development that adds value and meets unmet needs versus development for development’s sake. New residential or commercial developers should be able to talk about how their project will contribute to the community as a whole, and specifically how the project will serve/enhance the quality of life for all neighbors. Development should serve those of different backgrounds.
Cedar Park residents value diversity in all forms and are particularly interested in new commercial and residential development that welcomes people of different races, classes, ages, sexual orientation and ability. New residential or commercial developers should be able to talk about how their project will contribute to the community as a whole, and specifically how the project will serve/enhance the quality of life for neighbors of different backgrounds. Value locally owned businesses and organizations.
Cedar Park residents believe that locallyowned businesses (businesses owned by local residents and businesses with a history of involvement with the neighborhood) play a vital role in Cedar Park’s sustainable economic development. CPN values the presence of locally owned and operated businesses, institutions, and non-profit organizations and wants to support their continued successes. continued on page 7

Commercial Principles
Residential Principles
Development should complement existing stock.
Commercial activities should generally not occur on residential blocks and be focused along commercial corridors. There is, however, existing precedence for some “corner stores” within residential areas.
Development should maintain or respect existing character of blocks, but more diversity already exists along the commercial corridor. Development is preferred that complements existing stock especially in terms of scale, proportion and architectural features, but higher density is preferred along the commercial corridor. Street level development should encourage foot traffic.
Commercial development should make best use of street level space by housing operations there that encourage highvolume foot traffic, make best use of display windows, include signage and lighting and offer hours of operation that extend until at least 8pm.
Respect the character of residential blocks.
Residential development should maintain or respect existing character of blocks and the scale of building stock. Aesthetic consistency is of a higher importance within residential blocks, particularly with regard to architectural features such as porches, bay windows, and detail and building lines.

In Memoriam: Gerald A. McHugh, Sr. By Maureen Tate t is with great personal sadness that I Imember share news of the passing of a founding of Cedar Park Neighbors, who was probably the longest ongoing member of our association. Mr. McHugh died a week short of his 93rd birthday, in the community he knew and loved. Except for the last ten years of his life, when he moved to New Jersey upon remarriage, Mr. McHugh lived in Cedar Park, where he was born, raised, made his living, and retired. He recently returned to the home of his daughter on Windsor Avenue, coming full circle. He spent his last days next door to his childhood home, in the shadow of the dome of St. Francis de Sales — where he went to school and was active for so many years — and on the street where several members of the extended McHugh clan once lived. Mr. McHugh, or Jerry McHugh as he was known locally, was a respected local real estate agent. The offices of McHugh Realty Co. were prominent at the corner of 48th and Baltimore, in the building that he owned for more than 50 years (now occupied by The Gold Standard Café). In addition to handling local real estate transactions, he later became the Real Estate and Insurance broker for the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia. From the vantage point of a real estate professional, Mr. McHugh was acutely aware of the changes taking place in his neighborhood and other areas across the country in the 1960’s. He mobilized with others, founding Cedar Park Neighbors to maintain the diversity of the community despite the pressures of an aging housing stock, racial integration and white flight. Mr. McHugh instilled a love of neighborhood and the importance of civic engagement in his family. I was lucky enough to receive this legacy in marriage and, as his daughter-in-law, I have had the good fortune to inherit Mr. McHugh’s Cedar Park archives. In the course of doing research for our CPN 50th Anniversary publication, I discovered much about his many efforts on behalf of our neighborhood. Jerry McHugh served as the Chair of the CPN Urban Renewal Committee, from the association’s beginnings, in and around Page 8

1960, through 1972. He also served as Vice President through much of that time, frequently hosting association Board meetings at his home on Springfield Avenue. During those years, he succeeded in having Cedar Park included in the City Planning Commission’s University City Urban Renewal area. CPN then undertook an urban renewal project that relied entirely upon voluntary residential rehabilitation, not demolition. In order to stabilize aging housing stock and prevent abandonment and blight, Jerry McHugh worked to have Cedar Park qualify for 3% Federal loans for renovation and conservation work. It was the first neighborhood organization in the entire country to do so. This effort, which involved obtaining some $2 million to assist local residents in rehab work on 2,000 homes by 1970, was regarded by many as a major factor in the stabilization of the Cedar Park area. He built a coalition of local church leaders to promote and support these urban renewal continued on page 9

efforts. He facilitated obtaining a 100% rehabilitation loan to save the then vacant and blighted Ivan Apartments at the southeast corner of 47th & Baltimore Avenue. Through Cedar Park intervention, this building underwent total renovation and is a landmark building and community asset.
or did something for them personally for which they are still grateful.
Mr. McHugh recognized the value of saving old neighborhoods and standing up to city officials who would clear them in the name of urban “renewal.” He worked to create a diverse community where everyone could live side by side. His son, Jerry McHugh, Jr., comments, “He was a person who had a real sense of place. Having been born in West Philadelphia and having grown up here, he realized that strong neighborhoods were incredibly important.” To this day, neighbors regularly, and at surprising moments, express their gratitude for Jerry McHugh to family members and tell stories about how he helped them purchase their first home, how he “saved the neighborhood,”
Jerry McHugh was a life-long member of CPN. In his later years, he took some pride and delight in the fact that several family members were active in CPN leadership and projects. He was always interested in hearing about the latest development or zoning news. He was curious about the many changes taking place, and also amused at how some issues or dynamics can remain the same. He was gratified to see one granddaughter chair the CPN Scholarship Committee for several years and to assist another as she focused on Cedar Park for her research project in Urban Planning, offering a wealth of information and a loving grandfather’s honest critique. On behalf of the family I extend our gratitude to so many who offered condolences and support. His funeral on August 2nd took place at St. Francis de Sales and was a fitting neighborhood celebration of a long and fulfilled life.
