7900 FRANKFORD AVENUE METHADONE CLINIC UPDATE
This update is written by a civic leader
who is not an attorney
The honorable Idee C. Fox heard oral arguments today in The Court of Common Pleas, regarding our victory in this case with the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Both sides had already filed written briefs stating their case.
The attorney for The Healing Way argued that the C-2 Zoning allowed this methadone clinic "by right" under the category of Medical Clinic. He was followed an attorney representing the City of Philadelphia who spoke in favor of THW, stating that the ZBA erred in their ruling.
Phil McPhillin and Dawn Tancredi of Mattioni Ltd., the attorney's representing the Appellee's (the neighbors close enough to be able to take legal action, and Councilman Henon as their (our) representative) argued that the zoning code was written before methadone clinics were a reality, and would have been, and should be regulated. That this law requires an amendment.
Judge Fox said that she would take the comments under advisement. It is unknown when her ruling will be made public.
The above is a layman's summary of about 45 minutes of testimony
There were only 10 people on our bus. Others attended, finding their own transportation or taking time from their downtown jobs; in all about 35 people including Councilman Henon, Councilman at Large David Oh, Representative Kevin Boyle, and Representative McGheean's staff. Senator Stack and staff were holding a press conference at a different methadone clinic. Not the 900 people we had at Lincoln H.S.
However the Judge rules, the case will likely be appealed to the next level.
It is very much a reality that this methadone clinic can open, and the pressure must be kept on. Your support of those opposing it must not waiver.
