We hear there’s a definite lack of consensus about the proposed three-story extension at 362 Adelphi in Fort Greene. The addition was narrowly voted down at last week’s community board meeting so now it’s off to Landmarks with one strike against it. We’re not sure what the criteria are to assess a proposal like this–we can’t imagine a situation in which neighbors would not be opposed to an extension. We’d guess the issue boils down to the extent to which the proposed addition compromised aesthetics as well as light and views. As we understand it, though, in the end community board votes don’t actually mean very much. That true? GMAP
