From Community Board 1…. My comments are indented on the line below.

Please note that this is a preliminary list. Be sure to check the agenda page on our website for any changes to agendas prior to the meeting dates. (ID is required to enter building.)

That’s the landmark building being converted to residential (with a Whole Foods). I don’t think we know about the fitness tenant….

So the 9/11 Memorial & Museum needs to have two races, two weeks apart? (See the one above.)

2/7 Battery Park City Committee – 6:00 PM 
Location: Asphalt Green,  212 North End Avenue, Theater
1) West Thames Street bridge – Update by Lynne Guey, Manhattan Borough Director, Government and Community Relations, New York City Economic Development Corporation
2) How to prepare to speak at BPCA Board Meetings – Discussion
3) 9/11 Memorial Walk on April 23, 2017, 8 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. – Report

Presumably this is the same event as the one at the end of the FiDi Committee agenda.

4) Allied Universal Ambassadors – Update by Patrick Murphy, Account Manager
5) Battery Park City Authority – Update by Nicholas T. Sbordone, Director of Communications & Public Affairs, Battery Park City Authority

2/8 Tribeca Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room,  1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) 184 Duane Street, Street Seats installation at Laughing Man Coffee – Update by David Steingard, Laughing Man Coffee and resolution

Last month, CB1 wanted to make sure residents were OK with the Street Seats installation being 50% larger than in previous years.

2) Citi building renovations – Update by Gerald Jennings, Director, Citigroup State & Local Government Relations
3) Presentation on minor alteration to 60 Lafayette Street Court Officer’s Command Center by Arthur Arnold, Executive Director of Capital Construction, Department of Citywide Administrative Services
4) 200 Church Street, application for upgrade to liquor license for 200 Tribeca Restaurant LLC d/b/a Tribeca’s Kitchen – Resolution

You might recall that when Tribeca’s Kitchen first came before the committee, residents resisted a full liquor license.

5) 385 Greenwich Street, application for sidewalk cafe license for Aemal LLC – Resolution

From the Unofficial Minutes of July 2015, when the Yves’s owners’ application for a liquor license mistakenly “said they weren’t applying for a sidewalk café, but Abramcyk and Elstein said that of course they would be. (Their lawyer claimed he took the question to be whether they were applying for it right now, but the committee wasn’t having it.) In fact, Abramcyk and Elstein didn’t think the restaurant was economically viable without that extra seating. The acting committee chair said they obviously weren’t going to be considering tables on N. Moore, but you can bet money they are. Smith & Mills has a sidewalk café, after all, which the guys got by going around CB1 altogether. Also, note the service door onto N. Moore.”

6) Lower Manhattan Community Church, street activity permit for September 16, 2017, Murray Street between Greenwich Street and West Broadway – Resolution
7) 2017 TD Five Boro Bike Tour – Update by Sharon Pope, Community Outreach/Strategic Planning Manager, Bike New York

Postponed from last month. This will be interesting: The Five Boro Bike Tour organizers are clearly violating the NYPD rules for sound permits in a residential area (by putting speakers on Church from Franklin all the way down to Park Place and blasting music and announcements for hours), but they seem to think their event is beloved enough that the committee won’t insist on some changes.

8) Spring Studios Community Advisory Committee meeting – Report by Bradford J. Gonzalez-Sussman, Associate, Pitta & Giblin LLP
9) 31 Walker Street, application for sidewalk cafe for Anejo Tribeca – Resolution

Añejo already has a café, so either (a) it wants to expand it, (b) it never had the necessary permit, or (c) this is actually just a renewal.

10) Street Activity Permit application by Transportation Alternatives, August 29, 2017 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., Beach Street between Hudson and Greenwich Streets – Resolution (tentative)

Closing Beach Street—where part of the Holland Tunnel empties out—on a weekday? Why not?

11) 100 Lafayette Street, application for liquor license for LLC to be formed – Resolution (tentative)

I went over to 100 Lafayette to see what this is about. There are two retail spaces: the one on the corner (of Walker) is said to be becoming a store, although no lease has been signed, and the southern one, where Santos Party House (above) was, is what this liquor license is about. That’s a huge space, of course, and an odd location for a restaurant; a big bar or club would be far more likely—and far more contentious.

12) The following notices have been received for renewal, upgrade, corporate change, minor alteration or transfer of wine and beer or liquor licenses, renewal of sidewalk cafe permits and recurring street closure permits:
—Two Avenue of the Americas d/b/a Tribeca Grand Hotel, application for alteration of liquor license to add one stand-up bar

Seems to me that adding a bar isn’t a minor alteration. Also, it’s now dba the Roxy.

—275 Church Street, application for renewal of liquor license for Via Vai Pizzeria, Inc.
—Street permit application by Taste of Tribeca on Saturday, May 20, 2017 Duane Street between Greenwich and Hudson Streets and Greenwich between Reade and Jay Streets
—1 Lispenard Street, application for renewal of liquor license for Nancy Whiskey Inc. d/b/a Nancy Whiskey Pub
—73 Warren Street, application for renewal of wine and beer license for Yummy Meep LLC d/b/a Mulberry and Vine
—Street Activity Permit application by Tribeca Family Festival, April 27, 2017 6 p.m. – April 29, 2017 11:59 p.m., Greenwich, Beach, North Moore, Franklin, Harrison, Jay, Duane, and Reade Streets

The event is usually on a Saturday, which is April 29—so they really need from Thursday night to set up?

2/9 Landmarks Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) 14 White Street, application for new seven-story mixed use building – Resolution

Postponed from last month. This is the new residential building on Sixth Ave. at the northwest corner of White.

2/13 Planning Committee – 6:00 PM 
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North

2) Privately Owned Public Spaces – Discussion with John West, City Club of New York
3) Future Plan for Schools in Lower Manhattan – Presentation by William Mac Donald, Design of Innovative Learning Environments (D.I.L.E.)

Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) 199 Water Street, application for wine, beer & cider license for 199 Roast LLC d/b/a Roast Kitchen – Resolution
