landmarks deck approval

Just want to report back on my earlier post…i was building a deck in my rear yard and got caught up on landmarks review. they would not let me build out to the size i was allowed as of right under the building code because of concern that i was encroaching into the “green way” of the block (basically the donut formed by the buildings). Jim Hill of Urban Pioneering Architecture helped me make my case (that there were several other encroachments into the green way on my block) to landmarks and got my deck approved. Thanks Jim!
