The fight surrounding Time Equities’ planned development at 110 Amity Street is heating up. Cobble Hill residents who oppose the plans, which include the construction of a rooftop bulkhead on the landmark Lamm Institute building and, more controversially, six townhouses behind 110 Amity, sent out an email blast today that included renderings of the development, like the one above (see others on jump). The email said, in part, that the local community is vehemently opposed to this development that changes the block structure around to create a gated community shoe-horned into the block only to maximize profit. They call it a ‘mews.’ The development plans are going to be submitted at a Community Board 6 meeting tomorrow night (250 Baltic Street at 6 p.m.) and are scheduled to be presented for approval at an LPC public hearing next week.
