please sign this petition for Carroll Gardens nabe

Hello from CORD! This week we have heard from the Borough President Marty Markowitz*

For Thanksgiving this year we have a cut and paste for each of you to send PLEASE SEND ASAP! to B.P. Markowitz. Please email to [email hidden]

Dear Borough President Markowitz,

I am a Carroll Gardens resident. I am very concerned about the out of context development in my community.

I understand that Amanda Burden, Chairperson of the Department of City Planning, has indicated that your guidance in setting priorities that appropriately address the critical need for zoning adjustments within the borough would be welcomed.

In addition to the development that is being experienced all over our borough, in the heart of Carroll Gardens, exists a unique condition, whereby our tiny, residential, gardened streets, are somehow classified as "wide". This classification allows developers to build or alter existing buildings into even larger, denser structures. They have been taking complete advantage of this with no regard for its impact on our community.

We, as a community, are loathe to push too hard to change that one condition, for fear of delaying a larger rezoning that would benefit many more of our streets.

I appeal to you, Mr Markowitz, as our Borough President, and as a fellow Brooklynite, to request that Carroll Gardens be positioned for immediate study. I further request, that once the study has begun, all projects which would be inappropriate under the new zoning, be halted as not to mar our community any further.

My neighborhood is, for all intents and purposes, under siege. What could be more critical than that?

Sincerely,

XXX

MOD NOTE: I deleted the duplicate posts in the other neighborhood boards since this is clearly targeted at Carol Gardens residents (I'm assuming you're not asking people to lie about where they live).

Sorry for the public note, but I can't PM you since you're not registered.

Subject: you are deleating the post why?

you do not have to be a Carroll Gardens resident to sign the form. Just read it.

I read it

in the heart of Carroll Gardens, exists a unique condition, ETC

and it sounds pretty specific.

Good luck with your fight with city, but this isn't a notice you should post on every board on Brooklynian. Each nabe board is for stuff about that particular neighborhood.
Please check out the rules for this board, linked at the top of every page.

I think that this line of the letter we're being asked to sign is pretty unambiguous.

Subject: hellooooooooooooooooooo i just want to help the nabe

For the record, "Linus" "why?" and "ron" all have the same IP.

And "ron," your last comment is too stupid for words. I'm locking this thread. If you have an issue with it, register and PM me.
