STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS ARTS & INSTITUTIONS Increasing Funding for the Arts Whereas, CB#2, Man. has long been supportive of cultural institutions and the arts, and recognizes that they are important for residents and businesses within our community and all of New York City, and Whereas, the Greenwich Village and SoHo neighborhoods have a long, heralded history of being a haven for artists, as well as the cultural organizations that together have made critical contributions to New York City's world-renowned reputation for being a destination for arts and culture, and Whereas, the CB2 Arts & Institutions Committee heard a presentation from One Percent for Culture stating that: • The current budget for the arts in New York City is $150 million, representing approximately 0.22% of the budget • At 1% of the City expense budget, funding would be $650 million • An increase in the arts/culture budget would enable expansion of arts education and other beneficial efforts • Despite an increase in capital funding, much-needed expense funding has been reduced • There are over 1,200 cultural organizations in NYC • NYC cultural organizations create more than 100,000 jobs • Cultural organizations in NYC generate approximately $7.6 billion in economic activity each year, and Whereas, CB#2, Man. supports One Percent for Culture’s mission and goals, Therefore Be It Resolved that CB#2, Man. supports increased expense and capital funding for culture/the arts, and urges our elected officials to make this a priority. Vote: Passed, with 39 Board members in favor and 1 abstention-(Aaron). 4 LANDMARKS AND PUBLIC AESTHETICS 1ST LANDMARKS MEETING 1 - LPC Item:9 - 74 Washington Place (Sixth/MacDougal)– Greenwich Village Historic District A Transitional Greek Revival Italianate style townhouse built in 1853, altered with the addition of a 4th floor and studio window. Application is to construct rooftop and rear-yard additions, excavate the cellar and rear yard, and replace a window. Zoned R7-2 Whereas, the replacement of the large window improves the front façade of the building, which is remarkably preserved; but Whereas, the voguish, proposed rear façade is not speaking to its traditional, existing front façade. If this rear façade is permitted, it would be a bait-and-switch: the front façade is one thing, while the rear is entirely an other. There is no typography to which this proposal relates. Indeed, the freshness date of this trendy rendition will expire before it is built. We shall be sacrificing history for a blip; and Whereas, this slow erosion of our traditional Village backyards that we have been witnessing over the last decade or so is regrettable. Where, not so long ago, true backyards with greenery, grass, flowers, trees and shrubs stood, we now see proposals seeking elements more associated with urban rooftop gardens, including sterile pavers, an absurd skylight where grass should be, and flora relegated to manufactured planters, in a vain attempt to conjure something that the applicant seeks to destroy; and Whereas, we don’t understand the logic of using so much glass on this historical building. It certainly isn’t functional: the applicant admits there is no gorgeous view to justify this expansive glazing on mid-19th century building. It just offers a view of the neighboring rear façade – neighbors looking at neighbors. It makes this old building resemble the Standard Hotel, so out of place in this traditional doughnut; and, further, Whereas, the proposed bris de soleil might be appropriate on a Le Corbusier building,
