Why this panel and discussion?

The recent unexpected demolition of a house in the neighborhood, followed almost immediately by the loss of several old growth trees, has resulted in increasing concern among many of you regarding finding a means for the neighborhood to have some say/control in how the neighborhood develops.

The NPNA Board has given over the April meeting to serve as a forum for discussion on this topic encompassing what tools may be available including Neighborhood Protective Overlays, which have been employed by other Durham Neighborhoods, and/or the establishment of a local historic district.

We have put together a panel including

Sara Lachenman - preservation designer and owner of Four over One Design
Tom Miller - planning commission member
Nate Baker - Urban planner and planning commissioner
Kari Grace - Northgate Park resident and urban planning professional

who have generously agreed to share their expertise and experience with the rest of us.

Please join us to learn more and connect with those neighbors who share your concerns!

Again, please register in advance for this meeting at this link:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
