"The residents of Hoyt Street have been fighting a proposed oyster bar at # 299-301, right next door to the Black Mountain Wine Bar. The location is on a stretch of Hoyt that is zoned residential and neighbors have argued that no liquor license should be granted to the establishment. Unfortunately, Community Board 6 chose not to listen to residents who argue that a second bar on this stretch of Hoyt Street would have too much of an impact on their lives. Instead, C.B.6 voted to recommend the issuance of the license.
On Wednesday, the community will have a chance to weigh in at a special meeting." (Pardon Me for Asking). See the Pardon Me Blog for more on this important story!

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
