Gastro-pub and apartments to be developed in Highlandtown BY GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

At the Highlandtown Community Association Meeting on Monday, September 21, updates were given on a number of new developments happening in the neighborhood. First was the space that formerly housed Haussner’s at 3244 Eastern Avenue. In July, it was announced that the property was bought by a Baltimore-based developer who would turn the 28,000 square-foot space into an apartment complex. “The community association conducted a survey of people in the area who were going to be affected by the building to see if there would be any real objection to it or not. And there was a little bit of objection but, by and large, people were supporting the project. The community association wrote a letter of support to the developer to tell him that we want to know more,” said Brain Sweeney, the president of the association. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Apartment construction rejected by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

The Baltimore City Planning Commission voted against the construction of an apartment building at 2030 Aliceanna St. on Thursday, August 17. The overarching issue is legislation that would rezone the location, which is currently a parking lot. The zoning of Aliceanna St. is R-8 which, according to the Zoning Code, allows for “a.) single-family attached dwellings, not exceeding 12 in a row or group, b.) multiple-family detached dwellings and c.) multiple-family attached dwellings.” Also, the buildings in the zone have to be under 40 feet. The proposed building, with its 87 apartments, would exceed the limits of the R-8 code. WorkShop Development, the developers of the project, was hoping to get R-10 zoning which does allow for apartments to be built. The Baltimore City Planning Commission rejected the plan, saying that the building would look out of place in Fell’s Point’s current landscape. Also, many residents who attended prior meetings worried about the additional traffic the apartments would create. And, they were concerned the building would end up being 10 stories high, since that is what is allowed in R-10 zones. WorkShop Development said they would not use the maximum allowance of space, saying their building would only be approximately 52 feet high. The owner of the space at 2030 Aliceanna St. had sold WorkShop the deed to the location so other developers could not attempt to build there. Councilman Jim Kraft was a supporter of this project. He said he believes in using space for residential purposes over commercial uses. “We’re now dealing with one of the most responsible developers that we have in the city, one who has demonstrated a continuing ability to work with the community on their projects. I want to watch the plans as they move forward, but given the history I think they’re going in the right direction,” said Kraft.

After past meetings and criticism, the developers made compromises based on requests made by the committee, but it wasn’t enough. Representatives for WorkShop said they are working with community groups before they take their proposal to the land-use committee. The project is expected to cost $20 million and construction would begin in the fall of 2016. The results of the City Planning Committee’s review will now go to the City Council. Baltimore’s zoning code is getting a huge overhaul in the upcoming years through the initiative Transform Baltimore, which will update the zoning code based on the city’s modern needs. According to Transform Baltimore, the zoning code that is currently in use was written in 1971. “The current Code has become outdated and overly complex, with more than 200 overlay districts, including Urban Renewal Plans and Planned Unit Developments. The resulting processes can be expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable,” states Transform Baltimore’s website. “In 2008, the Department of Planning began a process to review and rewrite the current Zoning Code. A Zoning Advisory Committee (ZAC) was established, made up of stakeholders from City Agencies, Community Leaders, and the local development community. In addition, a series of community meetings took place centered on specific topics related to zoning, design, and development.” The new code would create new categories for buildings, such as education, hospital, and transit-oriented development. The goal is to make the city more pedestrian-orientated through a mixed-use development and the preservation of open space. Also, Transform Baltimore will work to reuse older buildings.

Email your name, neighborhood and the answer to jkichline @baltimoreguide by 2 pm on Friday, September 25. Must be able to pick up tickets at the Baltimore Guide office on Monday, September 28th before 4 p.m. One entry per person.

DOT to present Southeast Transportation Vision plan

solutions to the problems of commuter traffic which is the direct result of the development in Harbor East, soon to be exacerbated by Harbor Point,” said Masopust. “In my opinion, these problems were created by developers, city agencies, and elected officials who were well aware of the potential traffic congestion problems this would cause, and for years said that the results of traffic impact studies showed that there would be a ‘minimal’ impact on traffic. We all know that is not the case. The predictable problems created by these entities should NOT be remedied on the backs of residents.” Another strategy from the DOT suggests improving street network connectivity. They suggest new links such as an expansion to the bridge on Central Avenue to make it a connecting route to I-95. One suggestion that received the most backlash was in reference to parking restrictions on Aliceanna St. between Boston and Chester Sts. They would create a second right turn lane during peak hours of heavy traffic. “I strongly think that parking restrictions or elimination creates an unfair burden on residents who have no other parking options and / or have physical challenges that make bicycling an impractical solution for them, as does parking further from their homes. As I have repeatedly said, the real solution lies in diverting traffic away from these NEIGHBORHOOD streets and creating viable alternatives..,” writes Masopust. The full plan can be viewed at http://archive. baltimorecity.gov/Government/Agencies Departments/Transportation. Residents can mail testimonies/comments through midnight, September 30 to the Department of Transportation, 417 E. Fayette Street, Room 559, Baltimore, MD 21202 or email grishae. blackette@baltimorecity.gov The meeting will take place at Graceland United Methodist Church at 6714 Youngstown Road from 6:30-8 p.m.

“

Over 35 unique projects were identified…

“

On Thursday, September 24, the Department of Transportation will present their 2015 Southeast Transportation Vision to the community. The DOT unveiled the project earlier this summer and has since been collecting feedback from residents. The comment period for the public ends on September 30 at midnight. The vision presented suggestions such as increasing public transportation to account for the population growth of the Southeast, the establishment of a Transportation Management Association to facilitate employer/employee programs and incentives, and the creation of transportation hubs. The report stresses that the Southeast is predicted to experience a large amount of economic development and creation in the next five years. “Over 35 unique projects were identified totaling over 12,500,000 square feet in new and redevelopment. The total development includes over 6,500 new residential dwelling units, 1,000 hotel rooms, 2,300,000 square feet of office, 1,000,000 square feet of retail and 1,500,000 square feet of industrial space,” the report states. The increase in vehicles, commuters, and traffic this development would cause would exacerbate the already overcrowded roads. “The existing roadway network as currently configured will not be able to fully accommodate future development-generated vehicle traffic volumes. Although the Southeast area provides an extensive walking, biking, and transit network including bus, rail, and water taxi, more improvements are needed to fully leverage non-single occupancy vehicle modes,” states the DOT’s report. Another suggestion was the creation of designated bus lanes on Fleet and Aliceanna Sts. Overall, the suggestions had mixed reviews and many citizens expressed their concerns. Joanne Masopust, the president of the Fell’s Point Association, wrote a letter to the DOT against many ideas within the plan. “Aliceanna and Fleet Streets are narrow, neighborhood streets that go through a National Historic District. Maintaining them as neighborhood streets creates a safe environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, and creates a more conducive atmosphere for our small businesses. These streets were NEVER designed to handle heavy traffic; they are not commuter on ramps for 95 and should not be treated as such. It is vital that the historic integrity and character of this neighborhood be preserved, as we seek

Quirky new sport, BubbleBall, bounces into Patterson Park by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Patterson Park has been the background to a variety of sports leagues and tournaments for decades. It’s rare to visit the park and not see a group of people kicking, running, throwing or jumping around with their friends. But last month, a new and unique sport burst onto the scene. It’s called BubbleBall. BubbleBall is a hybrid between bumper cars, traditional soccer, and sumo-wrestling. Players are put into large air-filled bubbles which bounce and roll as they try to score points against the opposing team. The rules are quite simple. “In bubble soccer, players start off at each end of the field and begin the game ‘dodgeball style’ with each team running full speed towards the soccer ball at the center of the field. Once a goal is scored all players go back to their sides and the game resumes. The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins. There are multiple games in a match. Pretty easy, right? Running, bouncing, and rolling around in a BubbleBall suit is quite the workout so bubble soccer games generally last 5-10 minutes,” states the Bubble Ball’s website.

Wonderfly events, a Baltimore-based sports league, is responsible for bringing BubbleBall not only to Patterson Park, but to the entire country. Wonderfly founders Ryan Schuman and Jon Millhausen said they discovered BubbleBall while traveling abroad. “I was actually working in Asia for a little while planning events and I was in a park in Singapore and I saw these little Singaporean kids playing Bubble soccer. I’d never seen it before then. So I started researching it when I got home and realized it hadn’t really caught on with Americans yet. So, I brought it back to John and we made the investment and are building it up,” said Schuman. Both men say that tipping over your opponent is not only allowed in the game but encouraged. “It’s a degraded form of soccer. You can basically hit anybody you want, whenever you want. People end up not really caring about the score, they’re more about running into each other instead,” said Schuman. The games are played on “mini fields” since running for long distances in the balls is difficult, that is if you’re not knocked over first. The balls can be rented for personal parties and events or you can join a league that

competes in weekly tournaments. Wonderfly staff will set up the equipment and provide refereeing services. “You pick the place and we come to you. We play indoors and outdoors, on soccer fields, parks, gyms, basketball courts, rec centers, schools, big backyards,” states Wonderfly’s website. The bubbles are made of a hardy, durable plastic and are five feet wide and weigh 16-20 pounds. Millhausen said that out of the hundreds of games he’s watched, nobody, or no bubble, has ever been hurt. “We’ve had as young as eight do it to as old as 85. That’s definitely not our core demographic, but we’ve had a lot of different types of people try it,” said Schuman. When asked if he was any good at BubbleBall, Millhausen laughed and said “Oh, we’re the best.” If you’re not into bouncing around, Wonderfly has other events, such as extreme scavenger hunts called “Dare Theory.” “It’s kind of not your typical scavenger hunt. How it works is we give teams of 2 to 6 people a list of 50 dares they have to complete and they have four hours to complete them all. They capture the dares by taking a photo and

video and putting it on Instagram. We score them through the posts on Instagram and chose a winner. Each dare has a set of points. Obviously, kissing a stranger is going to be worth more than high-fiving a statue,” explained Millhausen. They’re also planning the Charm City Chug run, a 5k in Hampden where racers have to chug a beer after every mile ran. The BubbleBall league will host tournaments every Wednesday beginning on September 30. The games will take place at the Eugene “Utz” Twardowicz Field. Every game is followed by an after-party at a local bar. Schuman encourages anybody curious about this strange sport to give it a shot. “It’s simple, you get into these giant inflatable bubbles and just play. It’s fun!” For more information on BubbleBall or to rent out some balls, visit www.bubbleballmd. com. To learn more about Wonderfly’s other events, visit www.wonderfly.me.

BIRDS HOUSE

by Andy MindzAk

Saying farewell to free agents With the Baltimore Orioles 5 ½ games out in with an ERA of 1.76 (Please note that Wade of the final Wild Card spot with only 13 Davis has the lowest ERA amongst relievers games left to play, I hate to say it but their over the past three seasons with a mark of season is pretty much over. Something else I 0.91. That’s just insane.). Anyway, O’Day also hate to say is over these last 13 games will most likely take more money to play make sure you take this team in because it somewhere else as a closer. Currently he is will look pretty different next year. making $4.25 milion this year while closers The parsimonious Peter Angelos will most can earn somewhere in the $7 million per likely re-sign zero of their pending free season range. agents: Chris Davis, Wei-Yin Chen, Matt Newcomer Gerardo Parra will be a free Wieters, Darren O’Day, Steve Pearce and agent as well and of anyone on this list, I Gerardo Parra.Chris Davis has completely would say Baltimore will pursue him the priced himself out of Baltimore, which while hardest. The 28 year-old outfielder is having I will hate to see him go, I am very happy for his finest season, batting .291 and setting a him. He had a rough 2014 season and has career high mark in home runs with 14. Parra come back in a big way leading all of baseball is making $6.23 million this season and will currently in home runs with 43 and is second be looking for a long-term deal, somewhere in in the American League in runs batted in with the 4 to 5 year range. While he will certainly 109. Over the past three years Davis has the get interest from other teams, my hope is most home runs with 129. Baltimore will keep him. The next closest person is Nelson Cruz with Last but not least is Steve Pearce. He is a 111. Davis also has the most RBI over that tough case to figure out. Last season was a same span with 332 with Miguel Cabrera huge breakout for Pearce when he batted .293 having the second most with 328. Also, he and hit 21 HR. This season was a bit of a lethas shown that he can play first base as well down as he is batting only .223 with 13 HR, as third base and the corner outfield spots. So but his main struggles were in April and May. yeah, he’s going to get paid. Just not in Pearce can play multiple positions so he has Baltimore. Thanks a lot, Peter. value there for sure, but if the Orioles are Matt Wieters will also most likely play going to count on him to repeat his 2014 elsewhere next year. Wieters owns a career campaign, they’re out of their collective batting average of .256 and even though he minds. Either way, Pearce is making $3.7 has been injured a bit over the past two million this year and I think that number seasons thanks to undergoing Tommy John looks about right, it just depends on how many surgery, he has played well when in the lineup. years he is looking for. Wieters is making $8.3 million this season So, make sure you enjoy these players and that figure looks to increase slightly and because there is a high probability the next also be for a few years. Also, his contract will time you see them, they will be wearing most likely be elsewhere. another team’s uniform. Wei-Yin Chen is most definitely not coming back to Baltimore next year. Chen owns the seventh best ERA in the American League this season and will be one of the top lefthanded starters available in the off season. Besides the fact he wants out of Baltimore, even if he wanted to stay, I doubt they would want to spend to keep him. It’s been swell, Chen! Darren O’Day will also be a free agent and while I would love to see him stay, I think he will probably get closer money somewhere else. Amongst relievers this season, O’Day has the third lowest ERA at 1.52 this season, and also has the third lowest ERA amongst Darren O’ Day | Photo by Keith Allison, courtesy relievers over the past three seasons, clocking of WikiMedia Commons.

HIGHLANDTOWN: new development Sweeney said that they will be in contact with the developer and will relay any updates on the project back to the community. Though they gave support, he said they haven’t signed an official and final Memorandum of Understanding with the developer yet. The former Haussner’s building has been vacant since 2006. The next location under construction is the former school house of Our Lady of Pompeii Church at Claremont and Conkling Streets. The schoolhouse was sold to a developer in 2014 with plans to turn it into apartment buildings. Sweeney said demolition of the structure began a few weeks ago and the complex should be completed in a year. “After several delays and assorted roadblocks in the way, the project just started a couple weeks ago. So I look forward to, in a year, we’ll have a big building and some new neighbors in the neighborhood so that would be great for us,” he said. The final project discussed was a new gastro-pub opening at the base of the Southeast Community Development Corp. building at 3323 Eastern Ave. The restaurant will be called The Publick Library, a nod to the location’s past as a library. Owner Bryan Palumbo currently operates Alewife, a popular pub in downtown Baltimore across from the Hippodrome Theatre. “One of our first thoughts was, ‘This guy is doing so well on the west side and downtown,

this is the perfect tenant to bring in to the development on Eastern Avenue,” said Michael Gioioso, an investor in The Publick Library. The restaurant will have approximately 85 seats and a menu that is similar to the one at Alewife. “A lot of people didn’t think he [Palumbo] was going to make it over there in west Baltimore before the development really took off there. So, I think he’s the perfect fit for Highlandtown,” said Steve Fogelman, who said that Highlandtown have several locations that are inspiring a renaissance, including the creation of the Creative Alliance. “I think this is, without any hyperbole, the biggest thing since then to happen to Eastern Avenue. Fogleman added that Palumbo is currently in negotiations with the M&T Bank across the street to allow customer’s to use their parking lot. “They’re very close to a deal there,” he said. Fogleman added that Palumbo has already signed an MOU drafted by the Highlandtown Community Association. “He’s looking forward to being a good neighbor,” said Fogleman. The space was specifically designed by the Southeast CDC to attract restaurant tenants. Alewife is known for it’s vast and varied menu of over 115 beers. Gioioso said The Publick Library will have at least 75 of these unique brews. The Publick Library will be open some time between November and the start of 2016.
