Please write for Hoyt Street by the Week's End!

Dear Neighbors, please help the Hoyt Street Alliance and support our very
responsive Assemblywoman Joan Millman, and State Senator Martin Connor, by
sending an e-mail to Tobias Russo (see below) in support of this amendment.
It basically changes a rule that restricts bars from opening within 200' of
a church or a school, but measured the distance from door to door of a bar
and the church or school. Unscrupulous bar owners could show the location of
a door in plans submitted to the State Liquor Authority, but move the door
to suit their business at a later date. Also, a bar's entrance may have no
bearing on the bar's nuisance factor. A more accurate and meaningful
measurement is from property line to property line, as this bill proposes.

Your help would be greatly appreciated as we continue the fight to maintain
the residential character of our block. Our Assemblywoman and State Senator
went out on a limb for us and it would be sad to see the amendment fail for
lack of citizen support.


Here is a link to the Amendment's text.

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........
