Over the weekend Brooklynian commenters did some digging on plans for 355 St. Marks Avenue, between Grand Avenue and Washington Avenue, and it turns out the modest townhouse will be replaced by something grander in size and scale. Says one commenter: “Turns out the owner has bigger plans for 355 – MUCH bigger. The zoning diagram filed in January shows a huge expansion to a five-story, four apartment building that’s 20 feet taller and more than triples the building’s floor space from 2,576 to over 8,000 square feet.” When the discussion turns to the architect, the commentary gets even more negative. Tough luck though: DOB has already approved plans for the super-sizing. Not only that, but construction’s already started. See a detail from the zoning diagram after the jump. GMAP
