Next Tuesday the Landmarks Preservation Commission will hold a public hearing on an application to reduce the lot size of the landmark Coignet Stone Company Building on 3rd Street and 3rd Avenue. The reduced lot size will help make way for the construction of the long-planned Whole Foods. (Separately, the BSA is considering the request for a variance for the Whole Foods build today.) The proposal is to reduce the size of the lot from approximately 125 feet to 55 feet on the 3rd Avenue side, and from 55 feet to 40 feet on the 3rd Street side. Some upkeep of the building, which has sat unused for years and is in shabby shape, began earlier this year. Whole Foods, which doesn’t own the property, has pledged to renovate it as part of its construction plans. GMAP
