Kern Chair Jesse Bodine District Manager December 8, 2020 Sarah Carroll, Chair Landmarks Preservation Commission Municipal Building, 9th Floor One Centre Street New York, NY 10007 Re: 400 West 57th Street, The Windemere — Storefront Design Project Dear Chair Carroll: OnDistrict November Manager 24, 2020, at Manhattan Community Board 4’s (MCB4) Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen Land Use (CHKLU) Committee meeting, Albert Faks, the Project Manager for the Windemere historic restoration team, along with Ilya Chistiakov, the architect for the restoration, presented plans for the restoration of the building’s storefronts along Ninth Avenue and the corner of West 57th Street. The Windemere is a landmarked building on the southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and West 57th Street. The restoration work includes cleaning and repairing the original cast iron columns, restoring brickwork, adding wood cornices, new glass and wood bay windows and doors to match the originals. At its December 2, 2020, regularly scheduled full board meeting, MCB4 with 38 in favor, 0 opposed, 0 abstaining, and 0 present but not eligible, voted to commend the meticulous restoration work undertaken by Mr. Faks’ team and to recommend approval of the proposed historic restoration work on the storefronts. The Board finds restoring the stairs to the cellar and railing on the Ninth Avenue sidewalk is not called for as both features were removed before the building was landmarked and restoring them would create unacceptable obstacles to current pedestrian traffic.

    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID-2ND QUARTER 2019 PLUS AN OUTER BOROUGH SNAPSHOT Pictured: 315 Meserole Street Looking Ahead U.S. Treasury Releases Additional Opportunity Zones Guidelines On April 17th the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a highly anticipated second set of proposed regulations related to the new Opportunity Zone (OZ) tax incentive. Created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax benefi t is designed to drive economic development and create jobs by encouraging long-term investments in economically distressed communities nationwide according to the Treasury department’s press release. The latest 169-page release reportedly delivered guidance in a broader range of areas than many expected, hoping to provide investors who have been on the fence with the clarity needed to begin developing projects in distressed areas nationwide. Some government offi cials anticipate the program could spur $100 billion in new investment into the more than 8,762 zones nationwide, of which 306 are located in New York City; however there exist some concerns among critics that the program will incentivize gentrifi cation, or provide added benefi t to developers for projects they would have been pursued anyway. According to the press release by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a key part of the newly released guidance clarifi es the “substantially all” requirements for the holding period and use of the tangible business property: • For use of the property, at least 70% of the property must be used in a qualifi ed OZ. • For the holding period of the property, tangible property must be qualifi ed opportunity zone business property for at least 90% of the Qualifi ed Opportunity Fund’s (QOF) or qualifi ed OZ business’s holding period.

  • F. Vehicular Traffic
    Chapter 9: Transportation (Vehicular Traffic) F. VEHICULAR TRAFFIC EXISTING CONDITIONS STREET AND ROADWAY NETWORK Traffic conditions in the study area vary in relation to a number of factors—the nature of the street and roadway network, surrounding land uses and the presence of major traffic generators, and the intensity of interaction between autos, taxis, trucks, buses, deliveries, and pedestrians. The study area contains five subareas, or zones—Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem—and each has different street and roadway characteristics along its length. East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem are characterized by a regular street grid, with avenues running north-south and streets running east- west. Each of the major north-south avenues—First, Second, Third, Lexington, Park, Madison, and Fifth Avenues—are major traffic carriers. There is just one limited-access roadway, the FDR Drive, which extends around the eastern edge of the study area from its northern end to its southern end. A general overview of the character of the street and roadway network in each of the five zones is presented below. Lower Manhattan is characterized by an irregular grid pattern south of Canal Street. Except for a few major arterials, most streets within the area are narrow with usually just one "moving" lane. Travel is time-consuming and slow along them. Pedestrian traffic often overflows into the street space, further impeding vehicular traffic flow. Water Street and Broadway are the two key north-south streets in this area, and carry two or more effective travel lanes, yet are often difficult to negotiate due to frequent double-parked truck traffic.
