Benson – I don’t know of any initiative in the Council to change the community facility rule, but I would welcome it. At the very least, it should be a discretionary action with some sort of community oversight. Let the locals decide if they want a pediatrician on every corner!
Denton – “retail” signs on empty lots could be developers fishing. If it says “build to suit”, most definitely.
we love Rob because comes up with great oneliners sometimes…so we put up with the rest..
“you know, it’s not really kids im averse to. it’s their parents.”… that was priceless!
fsrg – ok, no argument there.
gemini – Hm.. I can’t figure out why that question would be relevant, unless you want to get into the whole “who was here first” thing, which I’m really not interested in. Suffice it to say I was born in NYC. But again, I don’t see how that affects this question. All I was pointing out is that, while Brooklyn is obviously less dense than Manhattan (although more populous overall), this region at least is a long way from suburban.
Sounds intriguing. What’s her name? I’ll look out for her. Sounds like her posts might be interesting to read. Are they confrontational? There’s nothing like a good smackdown, like above.
So, what have we learned about 4th Ave apt buildings built under new zoning?
-I was wrong, technically, zoning allows for retail. Which is why you see big signs for retail in front of holes in the ground.
-Zoning also allows increase in FAR for community service needs. Therefore, Boymelgreen and it seems every other developer has elected to take the FAR and trade retail for CS. (I wonder about the Argyle).
-Therefore the end result is the same, and WBer’s post is accurate:
“So – Fourth Avenue IS zoned for retail, but many developers elected to forego that retail in exchange for additional residential FAR above. Expect your health care and social welfare needs to be well served on Fourth Ave.”
My sense then is that these ‘retail’ signs are developers fishing for a big box store to come in and sign a long lease with AAA credit. Then the owners who got caught with their pants down in the financial mess can take the lease to the banks and put up a building with no extra FAR.
“Is there a poster with the name Pain in Bay Ridge?”
Not exactly, but that might as well have been her handle.
“I was referring to a particular poster, Tara, not a topic.”
Is there a poster with the name Pain in Bay Ridge?
“Okay, that doesn’t make any sense. It has nothing to do with the topic.”
I was referring to a particular poster, Tara, not a topic.
But I’m sure you have no idea, since you’re so new here.

But,were you born in BK, or the other boroughs or in NYC with parents born in in the boroughs or NYC with grandparents born in the boroughs or in NYC?
