[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They took a stand around 2000 and half the membership quit in protest. Hearst is outside of the historic district. CPHS has no jurisdiction and is now just another NIMBY group. That wasn't what it needed at this time. [/quote] I believe you mean the Cleveland Park Citizens Association, not the historical society. As a 501c3, the historical society has no "jurisdiction" over anything. It's not a public body. However, it carries influence with HPRB and other city agencies on matters that are within or could impact the historic district. As the boundary of the historic district abuts the park to the south and east, the impact is clear. You can deride it as 'NIMBY' all you want, but it is significant that a major neighborhood stakeholder with hundreds of members has such strong concerns about paving Hearst for a pool. Even Cheh seems to be having second thoughts about the Hearst site.[/quote]
