410 West 207" Acquisition LLC Flair Beverages Corp. c/o Taconic Management Company LLC 3857 9" Ave 111 Eighth Avenue, Suite 1500 New York, NY 10034 New York, NY 10011 UG 7 as limited to specific types of wholesaling activity that do not include the businesses we have identified for relocation, this would also need to be addressed in the ‘A’ text. 4. Site 8 Block 2198, Lot 18: This site, owned by an affiliate of Flair, is well suited for use by wholesalers relocating to Sites 6 and 7. Wholesale activities on this site, which is located in the manufacturing district adjacent to a Con Edison facility, could relieve the need to include storage and other wholesale support functions on Sites 6 and 7 and help maximize active uses at those locations. In order to facilitate the use of Site 8 as part of the wholesale relocation plan, the ‘A’ text should allow for an increase to up to 2.0 FAR. The use of more than 1.0 FAR could perhaps be made subject to a certification that the increase in floor area is intended to facilitate wholesale or wholesale-accessory activities for wholesalers located on Sites 6 or 7. However, we believe that the site could also be used at a later date by either Con Edison or DOT for relocation of some of their use on waterfront sites and that a limitation of the 2.0 FAR allowance to wholesale or wholesale-accessory uses only might prove unduly limiting. We also note that if this site could serve at least in part as a relocation site for the DOT waterfront bridge repair facility, it would free up that site for affordable housing redevelopment with waterfront access. 5. R8A Zone Extension: Extend the R8A zone to include Block 2202, Lot 17 (Site 3) and Block 2199, Lot 11 (Site 6), which are controlled by an affiliate of Flair. The R7A zone is understandable for existing housing stock but these two sites are empty lots for which R8A would be more appropriate and would allow for additional new housing to be developed within a similar zoning envelope than what is proposed. This change would result in the additional of approximately 65 mixed income units to the neighborhood, ‘Thank you in advance for your consideration of these comments. We look forward to discussions in the near future with the City to address ¢ these matters as the “A” text is developed and finalized. . Sincerely, Zo tes Charles Bendit Paul Gagliardi 410 West 207" Acquisition LLC Flair Beverages Corp.
