  • City Planning Begins Public Review for 257 Blocks in North
    About Us > Press Releases FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 20th, 2009 CONTACT: Rachaele Raynoff / Jennifer Torres (City Planning) (212) 720-3471 CITY PLANNING BEGINS PUBLIC REVIEW FOR 257 BLOCKS IN NORTH FLUSHING, QUEENS TO PROTECT NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER Proposal Creates New Zoning Tool to Prevent Out-of-Scale Single Family Homes January 20, 2009 – City Planning Commissioner Amanda M. Burden today announced the beginning of public review to protect 257 blocks of North Flushing, Queens, one of the Bloomberg Administration’s largest contextual rezonings. The rezoning was undertaken in response to community concerns that recent developments have been out-of-context with established neighborhood character and built fabric. Concurrently, Commissioner Burden announced the creation of a new contextual zoning district, R1-2A, developed to ensure that new single-family houses are consistent with the prevailing neighborhood scale and fabric. Crafted with close consultation from local elected officials, community board members and local civic associations, the proposal exemplifies the Bloomberg Administration’s sustained commitment to protect New York’s neighborhoods by updating decades old zoning to reinforce their built character. “Good planning requires that we recognize and tailor zoning to the unique needs of each one of our neighborhoods. Working closely with the community and Council Members Avella and Liu we have developed a fine-grained rezoning to protect North Flushing, one of the city’s most beautiful, low-density communities” said City Planning Commissioner Amanda M. Burden. “Expanding our toolbox, we have developed a new zoning designation, R1-2A, to ensure better protections for the existing building form and context. Today’s actions underscore the Bloomberg Administration’s commitment to safeguarding our quality of life and to ensuring that future development reflects the character of the city’s neighborhoods.

This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well. JAMAICA BAY RESTORATION PROJECTS: Since 1986, the Littoral Society has been organizing annual PROTECTING OUR MARINE LIFE shoreline cleanups to document debris and create a greater public awareness of the issue.

  • Fort Totten Battery, U
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 24, 1974, Number 5 LP-0826 FORT TOTTEN BATTERY, U. S. Government Reservation, Willets Point, Bayside, Queens. Built 1362-1864; Supervising Engineer: !'Jilliam Petit Trowbridge. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax ~1ap Block 5917, Lot 1, in part, consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 25, 1973, the Landmarks Preservation CoMmission held a ,public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Fort Toften Battery and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 8). The hear­ ing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative of the United States Army testified as to the current status of the Battery. There were no speakers in opposition to desienation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Fort Totten Battery is one of the most impressive and monumental sights in Queens. Its superior stone construction, rarely surpassed in this country, con­ tains a number of the important innovations used in the Third or Totten System of United States seacoast fortifications that were built between 1817 and 1864. The First System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1794 when it seemed that the United States might be drawn into the European wars that followed the French Revolution. The Second System, which started in 1807 under the threat of war with Britain and ended with the l'Tar of 1812, is important because it marks the first time that American-born and trained engineers built fortifications on a large scale. Unlike the first two systems which had been built in response to external threats, the Third System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1817 during a period of peace.
