By Ariella Cohen The Brooklyn Papers If Atlantic Yards shrinks, the public will pay more. Forest City Ratner brass said this week they plan to tweak the mammoth $4.2-billion mega-development by eliminating a few hundred luxury apartments and reducing the height of the 620-foot “Miss Brooklyn” tower — but the cost will be additional public subsidies for the 2,250 units of below- market-rate rentals that Ratner’s prom- / Becky Holladay ised to include in the plan.

Yassky was endorsed last week by the New York Times and The Brooklyn Papers. On Wednesday night, a candidates’ forum at the Garfield Temple in Park Slope turned into an Owens vs. Yassky affair as the congressman’s son blasted the councilman for being too cozy with developers. “I just can’t see how you say you stand for the people,” Owens said. Yassky replied that he “voted against tax breaks for developers.” He retaliated by slamming the Owens campaign for distributing an unsigned flyer claiming that Yassky had taken contributions from the lawyers who defended disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. After the forum, Owens apologized for the erroneous handout, but said, “I can’t be blamed for what my volunteers come up with.” At the same forum, Clarke and Andrews, who both support Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project, played to the largely anti-Yards crowd by now saying that they have concerns about the project’s environmental impacts — something which neither candidate dwelled on in the past. — additional reporting by Ariella Cohen RATNER… Continued from page 1 enues, building a platform over them, and providing the 2,250 below-market rentals. The reported trim — a six- to eight-percent reduction in overall size — will return the project to the 8-million-square-foot specs of the original plan introduced by Ratner in Dec., 2003. But since that star-studded Borough Hall presentation, the estimated cost of Atlantic Yards has soared from just over $2 billion to $4.2 billion. And critics said that Ratner was trying to balance his still-unreleased numbers on the backs of New York State taxpayers. “It’s typical of Forest City Ratner to inflate projections in order to get more public money from of the state,” said Evan Thies, spokesman for City Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn Heights). “It’s a deceitful way of doing business, and they should be committed to a project that works and can be vetted to the community.” Yassky doesn’t support giving the developer any additional subsidies for affordable housing, Thies told The Brooklyn Papers. He has called for the project to be halted unless its traffic, transit, noise, shadow and other adverse impacts are not properly mitigated. Critics say the reported trim not only requires more money from taxpayers but ignores the larger criticism that Ratner’s plan would transform a quiet section of Prospect Heights into a shiny hub of 16 Frank Gehry-designed towers and the country’s most-expensive are- LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER has received the 2006 Stroke Care Excellence Award™ na ever.

The off-leash saga began when Holden’s organization sued the Parks Department in May. The presiding judge subsequently asked the two sides to negotiate an agreement on their own. Holden says he did just that, offering to drop the lawsuit, if the Parks Department would allow individual community boards to opt out of the off-leash privileges.

TV Bklyn on NBC When it comes to capturing the essence of a time and place on film or in a television series, Hollywood stars Delroy Lindo and Jeremy Sisto say there is no substi- tute for shooting in the actual location. Fortunately, the ac- tors get to do just that for their new suspense drama, “Kidnapped,” which is scheduled to air on NBC Wednesday nights, starting Sept. 20. In the series, created by “Karen Sisco” and “Lucky Number Slevin” mastermind Ja- (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings September 9, 2006 son Smilovic, Lindo and Sisto portray inves- tigators charged with bringing home the abducted teen-age son (Will Denton) of a wealthy Manhattan couple (Dana De- lany, pictured, and Timothy Hutton), while also unraveling the mysterious circumstances surrounding the boy’s disappearance. While much of the show takes place in the family’s posh, Upper East Side apartment — con- structed on an enormous sound stage at Silver Cup Studios in Queens — Lindo and Sisto are also seen working the case in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods. “Of course it impacts your performance because one is responding naturally to the stimuli of the streets and the stimuli of the environment,” Lindo told reporters during a recent visit to the “Kidnapped” set. “New York has so much going for it, in terms of feel … You just eat it up; you absorb it … I would say this being a New York story, and the fact that we are shooting on the streets of New York, just adds to the authenticity of the whole endeavor.” Sisto echoed Lindo’s sentiments. “For the show, it’s great to have the New York streets be such a strong character,” Sisto noted. “These characters kind of only make sense here, right now, anyway.” Although Delany and Hutton have only signed on for one season of the show, Lindo, who plays an FBI agent, and Sisto, who plays a private inves- tigator, are expected to return for subsequent seasons should the series be renewed.
