At the hearing, the Landmarks Commission found that the historical significance of the property was significant enough to invoke a 90-day demolition delay. The purpose of the delay is to allow time for the developer to come up with an alternate design that includes the original building. See meeting announcement HERE. See information about ‘Article 85 Demolition Delay Review – Determination of Significance: Public Hearing for Significant Structures’ HERE See Property history HERE. The public can submit comments regarding the HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE and/or IMPORTANCE of the property by email Here and Here. Both planning and General Membership voted to recommend OPPOSITION of this project to the ZBA. The ZBA voted to SUPPORT this project and therefore found that the height and density of the project are allowable.
