Dear Borough President Markowitz:
In response to the public hearing on the Carroll Gardens Zoning Text
Amendment, Community District 6, 080345 ZRK, we would like to make it
known that, as residents of 113 2nd Place, we are in full support of the
amendment to re-zone Place Blocks as "narrow streets".
It is obvious to all but those who wish to over-develop here that this
is the right thing to do. It was the intent of the original developer
>>of this neighborhood, Richard Butts, to create a human-scaled,
garden-filled residential haven in the city. We all know that it was
only in error that these blocks were misclassified as "wide streets".
Please continue to do whatever is in within your power to correct this
error and hence limit out of scale and out of context development in
Carroll Gardens.
Thank you for your efforts thus far.
Sincerely,
Joan and David Bredthauer
2nd Place
Brooklyn, NY 11231
