Remember the neighbors who were keen to protect the green space on the interior of their block from encroachment by a proposed rear addition at 115 Lincoln Place, above?
Well, after the local community board nixed the proposal, the Landmarks Preservation Commission decided it didn’t care for it either, reported The Brooklyn Eagle. LPC asked the homeowners to come up with a new, less intrusive proposal for an extension.
The LPC praised the backyard green space, saying “it does measure up to the standard of unique,” is “just so special” and has “the feel of a commons,” according to quotes in the Eagle.

Crappy? Why is everyone moving to Brooklyn? if you have nothing relevant to say about the preservation of the Historic District, move on…
How is this any different than other ‘donuts’?
not for nothing but the back yards all look pretty crappy to me.
what planet are you living on.
those backyards are hardly pretty. they look unkept and messy.
please. i dont see anything pretty about them.
What the heck does open vista mean?
When someone in one of the homes looks out the back, they see trees, shrubs and backs of houses. Not very open to me.
