CB6 Landmarks/Land Use Committee Public Hearing TONIGHT

Note the public hearing aspect, as there is a variance on the agenda for a proposed residential build in the Columbia Waterfront neighborhood.  The link above has a picture of the site, which currently looks to be two lots with junk and a driveway.  I hope that the committee will require existing curb cuts to be eliminated in any approval.  Single family homes should not be getting private driveways.  And eliminating the curb cuts are a small price to pay for a zoning variance.  Restore that curb cut to public curbspace and improve the walkability of this block for all users.

• PUBLIC HEARING on 96-98 Degraw Street (BSA Cal. Nos. 13-13-BZ and 14-13-BZ).
• Discussion and formulation of a recommendation on an application (BSA Calendar Nos. 13-13-BZ and 14-13-BZ) submitted to the Board of Standards and Appeals on behalf of The Green Witch Project LLC and The Other Half, LLC requesting a variance to allow the construction of 2 three-story, approximately 3,100 square foot single-family residences pursuant to Zoning Resolution section 72-21 at 96-98 Degraw Street (Block 329, Lots 22-23), between Columbia and Van Brunt Streets.
