Representatives from DOT will be attending to make a presentation on its proposal.

e) Committee of the Whole: The board’s position with respect to meetings as well as public hearing requirements on issues and/or actions which may require a vote during the summer months is to hold these items over to September. The board will convene during the months of July and August should there be an item that requires a vote. Therefore, it is recommended that the board vote on a resolution empowering a “Committee of the Whole” to take action on behalf of the full board. This enables the board to satisfy its quorum requirement during the summer months.

VARIANCE:
A Variance application has been filed with the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) pursuant to §72-21 of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York to permit a Use Group 6 commercial use in the entire building at the premises. Sixty-two percent (62%) of the premises lies within an R5B zoning district where UG6 uses are not permitted as-of-right; the remaining thirty-eight (38%) percent of the premises lies within a C4-4A zoning district. Since less than half of the parcel is situated within the desired zoning district (i.e. C4-4A), a variance to permit a Use Group 6 uses in the entire building is being sought.
