Please contact Ms. Amanda Burden, Chair, City Planning Commission! Please remind her that last week, we sent her our petition with our first 1500 hundred signatures and that WE NEED HER HELP!

Dear Ms BurdenOur organization,CORD,mailed a packet to you last week. It contained a petition that was born out of frustration over a development located at 360 Smith St/127-131 2 pl in Carroll Gardens, Bklyn. The list of signatures continues to grow.We would like to know where the city "planning" is in this project? This proposed residence may be "as of right", but how can city planning allow a building of this size/bulk to be built on a small street like 2nd place? How can this be plopped here with no consideration or improvements to our ancient infrastructure? There will be more and more projects just like this one. We are being invaded.Yet the schools, roads, sewage system,etc all remain the same.Community Board 6 says-nothing we can do-local officials-same story.Down/re-zone? Takes time--any permits requested beforehand are grandfathered in. You represent planning. What do you plan to do for us? Thank you.
