[Mintwood-place] Loss of 3-4 parking spaces on Mintwood

Dear Harold Smith, Thanks for being on top of this.
If the signs do remain, you also might consider repositioning the poles. Right now 3 parking spots are lost, – actually 4, since only one car can now fit between the sign at the 1850 driveway and the Guesthouse sign.
If a spot is a right, then I believe one space with yellow curb marks would be adequate.
Thanks again.

I will contact the guest house to verify the check in hours. If it is in fact a limited check in time frame, new signs will be installed to mirror that check in period. Thank you for your input.

Regarding the 15 minute check-in zone, would it be useful to limit the time it applies, so that it's from 8am to 8:30, or 9, or 10 pm? It's my understanding that Kalorama Guest House doesn't admit folks after 10pm. That way residents could park overnight (I know, it doesn't solve the problem of needing a parking space at 5:30 or 7 pm), at least.

I do not believe that this will reduce the double parking, but time will tell.
Until then, I suggest an act of civil disobedience:
..we rotate residents sitting on lawn chairs in the new parking spots until such
time as the spots are returned to the residents, or..
..compromise position - Kalorama Guest House enters into a "revenue sharing"
agreement with each resident on Mintwood Pl to refund the cost of our parking
permits, in exchange for their right to accommodate their paying guest.
Regards, Angela ;)
I object to the idea that this is necessarily a loss for "regular, tax-paying
citizens." Those citizens who choose to own cars and park them on public
streets will be marginally inconvenienced by the decision. But there are many
of us "regular, tax-paying citizens" who don't own cars or who own cars but have
realized that it is impracticable to rely on public streets for parking. We
clearly benefit from the reduction in double parking.

The space abutting the Kalorama Guest House, 1852/1854 had been unrestricted
for
a number of years. Guest attempting to check into the guest house have been
force to double park and completely block traffic on this very narrow
residential street. "15 Minute Parking, Hotel Pick Up and Drop Off" signs were
installed, in the unrestricted space, to eliminate the double parking and

Just noticed these tonight. Two hour until 8:30pm is
great, but who decided for the exclusive -- what seems
to be -- 24 hour, 15 minute loading and unloading in
front of the Guest House. Great that their guests
won't be doubled parked anymore, but two more parking
spaces are now gone.
Please correct me if I'm seeing this wrong.
Thanks to all.

My question is how did this get zoned as a commercial property in the middle
of a residential block? A "Bed and Breakfast" is supposed to be owner
occupied by law.
I had asked ANC Commissioner Jim Graham to look into the seemingly low tax
assessments on these Douglas Jemal properties, but it seems to have been
passed on , never to be brought up again.

It is unfortunate. Years ago there was a BZA case that challenged the
bed and breakfast on the basis of the new regulations that a couple of
us worked on that were adopted by the Z.C. We won the case, but on
reconsideration the owners won . We found out too late to do anything
about it. We have another case on Columbia Road across the street from
the Wyoming. We have complained to the zoning administrator to no
avail. I am planning an appointment with him to see if anything can be
done (it's the house next to Bruce Johnson, for those of you who know him).

That is an excellent question and I agree that we should be able to get an answer to that, but, I'm really just looking for equitible treatment for all of the building owners of Mintwood Place. If the Guest House can have their own, exclusive street parking what about the rest of us? Most of us who live on the even side of the street have no parking. We knew that when we bought our homes. But now, we have a special case being made for one and only one building owner. It's not appropriate and not right.

I do not believe that this will reduce the double parking, but time will
tell.
Until then, I suggest an act of civil disobedience:
..we rotate residents sitting on lawn chairs in the new parking spots until
such
time as the spots are returned to the residents, or..
..compromise position - Kalorama Guest House enters into a "revenue sharing"
agreement with each resident on Mintwood Pl to refund the cost of our
parking
permits, in exchange for their right to accommodate their paying guest.

I object to the idea that this is necessarily a loss for "regular,
tax-paying
citizens." Those citizens who choose to own cars and park them on public
streets will be marginally inconvenienced by the decision. But there are
many
of us "regular, tax-paying citizens" who don't own cars or who own cars but
have
realized that it is impracticable to rely on public streets for parking. We
clearly benefit from the reduction in double parking.

Mr. Heymann
The space abutting the Kalorama Guest House, 1852/1854 had been
unrestricted
for
a number of years. Guest attempting to check into the guest house have been
force to double park and completely block traffic on this very narrow
residential street. "15 Minute Parking, Hotel Pick Up and Drop Off" signs
were
installed, in the unrestricted space, to eliminate the double parking and
blocking of traffic.From: Menda Fife

Just noticed these tonight. Two hour until 8:30pm is
great, but who decided for the exclusive -- what seems
to be -- 24 hour, 15 minute loading and unloading in
front of the Guest House. Great that their guests
won't be doubled parked anymore, but two more parking
spaces are now gone.
Please correct me if I'm seeing this wrong.
Thanks to all.
