Proposed planting bed, fencing, and non-combustible trash enclosures. Presentation by Cristina Gomez of Brooklyn Studio. The project requires a revocable consent from the DOT. The committee asked questions about the trash enclosure materials, fence details, and curb.

Laura: Seconded.
Dave: Friendly amendment to make motion contingent on DOT approval of revocable consent. Jerry accepted.
Unanimously approved.
Powerhouse Arts
Continuous Maintenance Plan required by new CofY requirements when transferring ZFA. Presentation by Paul Parkhill of PHA and Brigitte Cook of PBDW. The committee asked questions about what sort of approval is issued for the CMP and what happens if the floor area transfer doesn't go through. As per CofY, LPC issues an MOU for the CMP. The purchase of the ZFA will help fund the CMP. If the floor area transfer doesn't happen, then PHA still plans to maintain its building long term since it recently underwent an extensive restoration.
Jerry: Motion to approve as presented.
Laura: Seconded.
Unanimously approved.
Community Session
Informal discussion took place about how PHA can open its waterfront to the public. The property is not subject to the WAP requirements and therefore does not receive an indemnity for public use. The committee will reach out to the CM's office to see if this can be rectified.
