October 2015 – Landmarks Committee

• PLEASE NOTE: When evaluating Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness, the Landmarks Committee of Community Board 8M ONLY considers the appropriateness of the proposal to the architecture of the building and, in the case of a building within an Historic District, the appropriateness of the proposal to the character of that Historic District. All testimony should be related to such appropriateness. The Committee recommends a Resolution to the full Community Board, which votes on a Resolution to be sent to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. These Resolutions are advisory; the decision of the Landmarks Preservation Commission is binding.
• Applicants and members of the public who are interested in the issues addressed are invited, but not required, to attend the Full Board Meeting on Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at New York Blood Center, 310 E. 67 Street, Auditorium at 6:30PM. They may testify for up to three minutes in the Public Session, which you must sign up for no later than 6:45PM. Members of the Board will discuss the items in executive session; if a member of the public wishes a comment made or a question asked at this time, he or she must ask a Board Member to do it.
