Tobin Talk: July 26, 2019

Greetings Neighbors!
We had a great meeting on July 18. San Antonio Solid Waste Management gave a presentation on what is accepted in each of the carts, and we had a visit from our new Central SAFFE Officer, Brigitte Neumann.
If you missed the meeting, remember that you can always find our meeting minutes posted on the website here.

Our community partner, Eco Centro, is collecting school supplies for families in need. Backpacks are especially needed. Donations by Friday, August 2nd preferred! You may drop off donations at Eco Cento, 1802 N. Main Ave., between 10am and 6pm Tuesday through Thursday, and by appointment on Monday and Friday.

Read on below for more info…
Please join the Tobin Hill Community Association for our monthly Social!

The demolition applications for 307 & 311 E Evergreen were approved. The rezoning for these addresses went to the Zoning Commission July 16, and was recommended for rezoning to IDZ.

The demolition applications for 430 & 434 E Magnolia are on hold while they are under review for historic significance. The cases were reviewed at HDRC on May and were recommended for Landmark Designation. The next steps will be a hearing with the Zoning Commission and with City Council.
