Last month Community Board 6′s Landmarks/Land Use Committee got a glimpse at plans for the largest development site in the Cobble Hill Historic District. Their verdict? “We weren’t thrilled,” according to a committee member who spoke at this week’s CB6 general board meeting. The plans are for the Lamm Institute building at 110 Amity Street and an adjacent parcel that Long Island College Hospital sold to Time Equities for $6.125 million in June, according to public records. Time Equities, whose many projects include Schermerhorn House, is applying to the LPC to get permission to build a rooftop bulkhead on the existing building, a Charles Hough design that was built in 1903 as a nurses’ residence, as well as six townhouses behind 110 Amity (see pics). The board’s committee members thought the planned townhouses looked out of context (anyone have a rendering they’d like to share with us?) and want the developer to present the plans to the Cobble Hill Association before resubmitting them to CB6 and the LPC.
