2) 180 Maiden Lane, modification of previously approved certification M 920427(A) ZCM – Resolution
3) 90-94 Fulton Street, 130-136 William Street, Board of Standards and Appeals application to allow a proposed development to be partially located within the bed of a mapped but unbuilt portion of Fulton Street – Resolution
4) 77 Pearl Street, application for a wine and beer license for Four Star 1⁄2 Inc. d/b/a Justinos – Resolution
5) 85 Broad Street, application for a wine and beer license for LPQ 85 Broad INC, d/b/a Le Pain Quotidien – Resolution So FiDi is getting a Le Pain Quotidien.

Location: Community Board Office, 49-51 Chambers Street, Room 709
1) 225 Liberty Street, application for liquor license for WFC Bagel Ventures LLC (d/b/a Black Seed Bagels) – Resolution
2) Street permit activity guidelines process – Discussion
3) Helicopter take-off from North Cove Marina – Discussion and possible resolution It’s because of this.
4) West Thames Park – Resolution
5) Neighborhood Updates – Discussion
6) The following notices have been received for renewal, upgrade, or transfer of wine and beer or liquor licenses or sidewalk cafe permits:

license for Compass Group USA, Inc. and Thompson Hospitality Services, LLC

7/8 Tribeca Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board Office, 49-51 Chambers Street, Room 709
1) Temporary Public Plaza on West Broadway between Franklin and Leonard Streets – Presentation by Lynn Ellsworth, Chair, Tribeca Trust This will likely get ugly, because at last month’s meeting, several members of the committee were apoplectic about the possibility.
2) Borough of Manhattan Community College – Update by Scott Anderson, Vice President for Administration and Planning Could we be getting news about BMCC leaving?
3) Proposed CitiRack [sic?] bike coral at 181 Duane Street – Presentation by NYC Department of Transportation and resolution No clue what this is about. 181 Duane is where Max is, and there’s already a Citi Bike station one door down. So what’s being “proposed” here?
4) 77 Worth Street, application for tavern license for RBC Bar Inc. – Resolution The new incarnation of Atera has said it would be opening a bar. I don’t know if it’ll be in the basement, as before…. I had always thought the old RBC café space would be a likely spot for an Atera bar, but that’s at 71 Worth. Then again, if you go to the café’s old website, rbcnyc.com, it says “RBC Bar Inc.” And the Department of Buildings seems to consider 65-77 Worth one property.
5) 41 Murray Street, application for restaurant liquor license for Rosa Mexicano Murray LLC – Resolution As discussed here.
6) 221 W. Broadway, application for sidewalk cafe for North of Houston LLC d/b/a White Street – Resolution We’ll see if they mean on W. Broadway or White.
7) 385 Greenwich Street aka N. Moore Street, application for restaurant liquor license for Aemal LLC d/b/a Belzer – Resolution The online trail led to a dead end. Googling “Aemal LLC” indicates the incorporation address at 65 W. Broadway #3N. The nameplate for #3N says “Sandpiper Group”—but that didn’t lead to anything. I asked Saleya (also at 65 W. Broadway) if it was them, and they said no. And Belzer doesn’t bring up anything. UPDATE: See MG’s intriguing comment about this.
8) Draft Tribeca Committee Liquor License Application Guideline revisions – Resolution Tribeca
9) Committee meeting procedures – Discussion
10) The following notices have been received for renewal, upgrade, or transfer of wine and beer or liquor licenses or sidewalk cafe permits:
—325 Church Street, application for a renewal of a liquor license for Saluggi’s

Enterprise Corp. d/b/a Tablao
—241 W. Broadway, application for a renewal of a liquor license for Cercle Rouge
—397 Greenwich Street, application for a renewal of a wine and beer license for 
Wichcraft

7/9 Landmarks Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board Office,
49-51 Chambers Street, Room 709
1) 17 Leonard Street, application for restoration of existing 3-story masonry facade and addition of two-story rooftop addition – Resolution So those new windows on the east side of neighboring 15 Leonard are lot line windows?! Meanwhile, poor Leonard Street can’t catch a break from all the construction.
2) 456 Greenwich Street, application to replace a non-contributing garage building with a new six-story hotel building with rooftop features – Resolution We knew this was coming, but the phrase “rooftop features” should cause concern for anyone who lives in the surrounding area—because if they’re thinking bar, restaurant, or anything like that, it’s going to get noisy. (From what the news first broke: The Commercial Observer said that the hotel will have “a restaurant with a bar, a 1,500-square-foot interior courtyard, a spa, a swimming pool, meeting space and a screening room.” And: “Plans may also include a private member club.”) The rendering is here—and it sure looks like they have big plans for the roof.

3) 366 Broadway, application to install ramp and stairs – Resolution
4) 130 Duane Street, application for facade alterations, new steel canopies and light fixtures – Resolution
5) Follow-up committee discussion on future South Street Seaport plans – Discussion

7/13 Planning Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board Office, 49-51 Chambers Street, Room 709
1) Lower Manhattan Resiliency – Update by Curtis Cravens, Senior Program Manager – Coastal Protection, NYC Mayor’s Office of Recovery & Resiliency
2) World Trade Center – Update by Glenn Guzi, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
3) Silverstein Properties – Update by Carlos Valverde, 3 World Trade Center Construction Manager
4) “Reimagining Lower Manhattan” Plan – Presentation by Kate Ascher, BuroHappold & Claire Weisz, WXY “Reimagining” sure sounds like a euphemism for “never-ending construction.”
5) City-wide Ferry Service – Update by Lusheena Warner, Assistant Vice President, Community Relations, NYC Economic Development Corporation

7/14 Youth & Education Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board Office. 49-51 Chambers Street, Room 709
