  • Chapter 2 Description of Facility Sites
    CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY SITES 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Overview This chapter describes the sites and operations for which the results of environmental reviews are presented in Chapters 4 through 11. Sections 2.2 through 2.9 describe Existing Conditions at each site. Each site description contains a Site Location figure that identifies the approximate boundaries of the site and shows the surrounding neighborhood and a Facility Footprint figure that provides an aerial view of the existing site with a footprint of the facility superimposed on the site. A Cross Section View of the processing building interior is also included. These graphics are provided to facilitate the readers’ understanding of existing site conditions and any changes that would occur with development of the facility. The site description also identifies the approximate distance of residential districts, schools and parks from the site. Zoning maps and other figures or tables that locate the zoning districts, schools, and parks are in the appropriate subsections of the environmental review chapters on each site. The sites under consideration may include multiple parcels under varied ownership and may extend beyond the property boundaries of parcels on which the subject waste transfer facility is located. For purposes of analysis, the primary and related parcels are considered a single entity. All of the Converted MTS sites contain existing MTSs that, in all cases except for Southwest Brooklyn, the existing MTSs will be demolished and replaced with a new MTS that is designated to containerize waste for disposal at out-of-City locations. Three sites also contain existing incinerators—Southwest Brooklyn, Greenpoint, and Hamilton Avenue.

It demonstrates that city-building took place through the collective work of regional actors on the urban edge. To explain New York’s dramatic expansion between 1840 and 1940, this project investigates the city-building work of diverse local actors—real estate developers, amusement park entrepreneurs, neighborhood benefactors, and property owners—in conjunction with the work of planners. Its regional perspective looks past political boundaries to reconsider the dynamic and evolving interconnections between city and suburb in the metropolitan region. Beginning in the mid-19th century, annexed territories served as laboratories for comprehensive planning ideas. In districts lacking powerful boosters, however, amusement park entrepreneurs and summer campers turned undeveloped waterfront into a self-built leisure corridor. The systematic decision-making of local actors produced informal development plans. Estate owners disliked the crowds at nearby working-class resorts; whites blocked black access to leisure amenities.

    I.andrnarks Preservation Corrnnission October 3, 1989; resignation List 221 IP-1664 SEAGRAM BUILDING, INCWDING THE PIAZA, 375 Park Avenue, Manhattan. resigned by I.udwig Mies van der Rohe with Philip Johnson; Kahn & Jacobs, associate architects. Built 1956-58. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1307, Lot 1. On May 17, 1988, the I.andrnarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a I.andrnark of the Seagram Building including the plaza, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1) . The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the pro­ visions of law. 'IWenty-one witnesses, including a representative of the building's owner, spoke in favor of designation. No witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received many letters in favor of designation. DFSCRIPI'ION AND ANALYSIS Surrnna:ry The Seagram Building, erected in 1956-58, is the only building in New York City designed by architectural master I.udwig Mies van der Rohe. carefully related to the tranquil granite and :marble plaza on its Park Avenue site, the elegant curtain wall of bronze and tinted glass enfolds the first fully modular modern office tower. Constructed at a time when Park Avenue was changing from an exclusive residential thoroughfare to a prestigious business address, the Seagram Building embodies the quest of a successful corporation to establish further its public image through architectural patronage. The president of Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Samuel Bronfman, with the aid of his daughter Phyllis I.arnbert, carefully selected Mies, assisted by Philip Johnson, to design an office building later regarded by many, including Mies himself, as his crowning work and the apotheosis of International Style towers.
