The issue is LIGHT AND AIR. Wider block = higher height limit b/c wider block allows more light and air to street.
Some blocks were and still should be considered wider blocks b/c they have larger front gardens so the facdes are further apart.
This is why developers have added stories and still should be able to. Additionally, there are numerous brownstones built in the 1800's over 55 feet. So building to 70 feet will NOT be out of the ordinary for the area!
