The auction followed public hearings at City HallAt the hearing, Park Slope Dem ocratic State Committeewoman Louise Finney sharply criticized Community Planning Board Six for its failure to make other options possible for the site, and urged a major improvement in community participation in local planning.In her statement, Ms. Finney rebuked Planning Board 6 for its %u201c reprehensible inactivity%u201d in failing to inform the community of the Site Selection Board%u2019s public hearing. %u201cDespite several appeals about the use of the precinct site made to Planning Board Number 6 in the last year,%u201d Ms. Finney stated, %u201cthe Board failed to take any action.%u201d%u201cAn item of the highest priority in our community must be the total reform of our planning board, Planning Board 6, to make it a representative, open, capable, and responsive instrum ent of the community.%u201dA proposal has been made by the 5th Avenue Merchants Association to use the precinct site for a commercial parking lot. An earlier proposal to rehabilitate the precinct house for a community center was withdrawn after its proponents, the Park Slope Community Center Corporation, failed to obtain the necessary financial backing.Ms. Finney told the Board that %u201cmore important than the question of whether a parking lot should be built on the site, is the establishment of a procedure for informing and involving communities in decisions that concern them.%u201d %u201c The P ark Slope community should have had the opportunity to consider proposals for the 5th. :r :a*a:M O W U N tEC A N w s m c r w t a r s . - i c 's . & r sZrr&j^ekjFfcceCaPFT^iWie) 783^5436*T%u2018\\ 0%u00ab/o a l l w i n t e r b o o t sSU ED E, L EA T H ER ,O * %u2019 W A T E R P R O O F S T Y L E SL e a t h e r b a g s from $ $ 8 .9 9138 M ontague Street 20% o ff a il sh o esFounded 1897BrooklynConservatory of Music58-7th A ve.
