*** MINUTES ***
On-site visit and update on the Green-Wood Cemetery’s efforts to preserve the Battle Hill view corridor which visually connects the Minerva statue in Green-Wood Cemetery to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor (crossing through the southern portion of the Red Hook coastline as intervening space).
There is a quorum present. A motion was made by Jerry Armer to support sponsoring the application with Community Board 7 for a 197a plan to preserve the Battle Hill view corridor from the Minerva statue to the Statue of Liberty. It does not mean that we support final approval. The plan will come back to us for a formal public hearing and review under ULURP. The motion was seconded by Bill Blum.
VOTE: 10…..YEAS 0…..NAYS 1…..ABSTENTION
MOTION APPROVED
Presentation and discussion of a Certificate of Appropriateness application submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for the reconfiguration of a bluestone and concrete sidewalk at 128 6th Avenue (southwest corner of Sterling Place/6th Avenue), Park Slope Historic District.
A motion was made by Bill Blum and seconded by Jerry Armer to approve the relocation of the bluestone as presented.
MOTION APPROVED: UNANIMOUSLY
There being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was adjourned.
The minutes were submitted by Peter Fleming.
