227 Clinton Modifies Plan, Gets Pool

The proposed renovation of 227 Clinton, which we covered way back when it was battling the CB6 Landmarks and Land Use Committee (the story was later picked up by the Brooklyn Paper), came before the LPC last week. It looks like CB6 convinced the architects to ditch the original plans for an all-glass, two-story tea room as well as the four extra, Norah Jones-style windows before their LPC hearing. They ultimately petitioned for alterations to the roof and areaway, enlarged window openings, and excavating the rear yard for a swimming pool. These requests were all approved by the LPC. At least they got the swimming pool!

I think these are INDOOR pools. Big difference.
What is it with this pool trend? Did the borough of Brooklyn just relocate to LA? I just can’t imagine people who probably have houses in the Hamptons and elsewhere lolling around their backyard pool in Brooklyn?

Do you feel that way about all CB folks?
DeLepp, shame on you. That said, great minds think alike.
“All the excavation will need to be done by hand and carried out bucket by bucket through the house.”
One way to get your fill of mexicans!
too bad about the windows and the tea room. the glass tea room sounded lovely. would way prefer that over a pool.
cb6=sorry lot of folks.
a private pool in the City is a pretty luxurious amenity.
All the excavation will need to be done by hand and carried out bucket by bucket through the house.
I bet there are a lot of CB6 members who I’d never want to have a drink with. Why can’t they do in their yard (the tea room) whatever they please????
And, they should have gotten the side windows.
