CHA Meets with Special Guest

Brooklyn Eagle: Community boards and their continued relevance in the era of 311 were the topics of the General Membership Meeting of the Cobble Hill Association, held at Long Island College Hospital on Oct. 29. But before an introduction to Community Board 6’s new chairperson, Richard S. Bashner, and a talk by, and question-and-answer session with, District Manager Craig Hammerman, there was a bit of celebration.CHA President Murray Adams sketched the history of the community’s struggle to maintain the 50-foot height limitation in Cobble Hill’s historic landmarked district, which was threatened by a plan by Two Trees Management to build a 60-foot residential structure in the Atlantic Avenue parking lot behind the former Independence Savings Bank.
