Estelle Brown Berman, force on city planning commission
Estelle Brown Berman was so intent on improving the city's zoning laws that she would take the zoning code to bed with her in the early 1960s. In 1963, an official introduced her at a meeting as "the Mrs. Grassroots" of city planning.
And that was 10 years before she joined the Cincinnati Planning Commission - a full 11 years before she became the first female head of the commission, helping turn it into a force to be dealt with, much like she herself was.
In between, she served as president of the Ohio League of Women Voters from 1964-66 and helped form community groups elsewhere in the city - like the North Avondale Neighborhood Association she helped found earlier - so others could have a voice in the city's zoning laws.
Mrs. Berman died Saturday after a 2 1/2-year fight with cancer. She was 72.
She was the first - and probably will be the last - member of the volunteer planning commission to have a permanent desk at City Hall that she visited every day. In 1975, as chairwoman of the commission, she estimated she worked on planning 50 hours a week.
"She was someone who was just absolutely committed to the city of Cincinnati," said Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who last month presented Ms. Berman a key to the city. "So much so that she actually had a desk in the planning department. She was around City Hall as if she was an employee."
"The concern was that zoning laws were very lax and you could do whatever you wanted to do with them," said Ms. Berman's husband of 52 years, Dr. Jerry Berman, explaining her interest in zoning.
A pet project - and perhaps the city accomplishment that made her most proud - was creation of city laws dictating proper procedures for building on hillsides. Before that, developers were building homes on slopes without conducting geotechnical studies or using sufficient anchoring procedures.
Each step toward those laws was "a battle royale," Dr. Berman said. "All she wanted was to protect the people who were buying the things."
"I feel passionately about the quality of our hillsides," she said in 1988 after being replaced on the panel. "There are things other than just selling parcels of land involved. Planning is necessary to understand the development of the hillsides."
But that attitude about the hillsides, and her push for approval of parts of Fourth, Court and Main streets as official historic districts downtown, led then-Mayor Charles Luken to appoint someone else when her third, five-year commission term ended in 1988. He chose her replacement from a list provided by the Cincinnati Board of Realtors.
"After 15 years of service to the city, I get a one-line token from the mayor, which wasn't even signed by him, and was sent to the wrong ZIP code," an irked Mrs. Berman said at the time.
But she once had joked: "I don't need love at City Hall. I get my loving at home."
The city later created the "Estelle Berman Annual Award" in recognition of the many young women she had inspired to become involved in city planning and urban issues. The Post named her one of a dozen women influencing the Queen City.
And until last month, she was chairwoman of the Riverfront Advisory Council, which she helped found in 1975. She also helped develop the Cincinnati 2000 Downtown Development Plan - always with an eye for public input.
Before becoming the state league's president, Mrs. Berman was first vice president of the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area.
She also had served on the Housing League's advisory board, was a past president of the Ohio State Alumnae, president of the North Avondale Neighborhood Association, president of University of Cincinnati's Hillel B'rith Foundation Advisory Board, and legislative chairwoman of the Council of Jewish Women. She served on many boards, including the Cincinnati Commission on the Arts and Housing Opportunities Made Equal. She also managed three successful City Council campaigns.
Also surviving are a son, Arthur E. Berman of Sugar Land, Texas, and four grandchildren.
Services were scheduled for 10 a.m. today in the Mausoleum Chapel at Spring Grove Cemetery. Friends may call on the family 5-7 p.m. at their home. Memorial contributions may be made to the donor's choice.
