[Fredslist] Friars Club

[Norman Spizz]

Read article again. It also says that since the air rights were sold ( we did that years ago), the property is of little value to developers as they can't go very high. This will probably eliminate the need for landmark status

Also, before designation, a representative of the LPC will either write to make an appointment with the person who is the spokesperson or COO of the Club to explain what designation means, the advantages and disadvantages, and he or she will be invited to the hearing to protest or give the stamp of approval to designation, should it be forthcoming.

Community Board 5 would not endorse our recommendation that the Donnell Library be considered for landmarking (after we found it had been sold in secret), and we now have a huge condo (50+stories?) in its place with a tiny library promised for the basement.  This is why none of us would vote for Christine Quinn. It’s a long story.
