Gowanus Lounge has the lowdown on the latest iteration of 110 Amity Street:
The controversial 110 Amity Street project in Cobble Hill won an important preliminary approval last night. In a surprise move, the developer Time Equities brought the project back before Community Board 6’s Land Use and Landmarks Committee for reconsideration. There was no public notice. The Committee, which had previously voted for a conditional disapproval of the revamped design, unanimously voted to approve the project. The renovation of the historic Lamm Building was approved without conditions.
The Cobble Hill Association Blog adds:
Last night the CB6 Landmarks Committee voted unanimously to approve with conditions the developer’s latest plans. It must be said that the developer, Jonathan Wachtel, truly listened to community input and adapted his plans accordingly. The zinc siding is totally gone, replaced by brick. The committee only objected to three features:
-The material for the penthouses was not specified in the plans. The committee asked that it be wood or a non-shiny metal already in use in the neighborhood.
-The rear was deemed too modern.
-The rear should have a setback of at least one story.
Could someone tell what is going to be built on Hicks at the corner of Congress Street? This site is on the west side of the BQE.
Any info would be greatly appreciated…..Tony
