There’s always an appeal to the Board of Standards and Appeals. Betcha you might be able to get a variance, especially under the circumstances.
I think that the best way to deal with your problem is to stop the rezoning of the neighborhood so that you can add a breakfast nook onto your house.
LOVE Korean food. Will definitely check the new place out!
To a lower factor which means for me that with the new zoning, I will now be over FAR (due to an existing and absurdly shaped extension) and so the plan to tear it down and rebuild it, while still possible, will result in the breakfast room being a, uh, intimate? cozy? tiny breakfast nook.
They will take your unused FAR via re-zoning to a lower factor, or simply ban extensions on existing structures?
confused.
This rezoning issue in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill is really getting my goat. After working with an architect, drawing up plans, getting ready to submit them and then having to experience our own unplanned delay of a couple of years, suddenly my plans for a tasteful garden level addition might get thrown out the window? All because of the new high-rises? This is absurd. Why can’t the rezoning just focus on the new buildings going up and leave what used to be my extra-FARs alone? Guess I’ll have to go to the damn meeting.
