The Landmarks Preservation Committee yet again denied the conversion plans for 72 Poplar Street in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, as reported in the Brooklyn Eagle last week and the Brooklyn Heights Blog yesterday. Not denied, exactly—the board strongly recommended” that the owner, Regal Investments, rethink its plan for this former police station that dates back to 1912. The board felt that the proposed two-story addition was too big and that certain design elements were too disparate from the original design. But the committee hasn’t voted, and will not do so until they receive a final plan from the owners. Bill Punch, an owner of the building, told the Brooklyn Heights Blog, We don’t have any plans yet.” GMAP
