Landmarks Commission To Hear Merits Of Park PlanBY LIZ KOCHThe plan to rebuild the Cobble Hill Park that runs along Verandah PI. will be heard at an upcoming public hearing of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The design of the park was approved last October by the Community Board Six after extensive input from local residents and homeowners on the adjacent Verandah PI.Then, discussions on the design of the park were carried out for more than six months with many elements in the original plan, designed by Ralph Borkowski, altered. A gazebo originally planned for the eastern end of the park was eliminated and a wrought iron gate added to the entrance to the park on Verandah PI. A large buffer zone between the park and Verandah PI. filled with evergreen trees and rhododendrons was designed to act as a sound buffer.Situated in an area with many small children, considerations in design also addressed the needs of young toddlers. In the toddler play area, to be fenced off from the remainder of the park, three play units are included: a sandpit already in the park, a dolphin statue for clambering and a climbing apparatus.Maintenance work on the park will also be carried out in the redesign including fixing a sinking foundation and a drainage system. The work on the park is expected to take roughly six months during which time the park will be closed to use.The Landmarks hearing, necessary for changes requested on landmark structures, will specifically address the creation of a central grass oval, installation of blue stone perimeter sidewalks and interior brick paving, new trees and shrubs, world%u2019s fair benches, new granite and an iron perimeter fence.According to Kathryn Herzog, capital proSmall claims filed against the City of New York and the Brooklyn Union Gas Co.

The schematic plan now on the table needs the approval of the Landmarks Commission and the Arts Commission before the preliminary designs can be started for the project, which is estimated to cost $625,000.%u201cOnce we get the approvals, we are free to go ahead wth the rest of the work,%u201d Herzog explains. She estimates that the project will go out for bid sometime late next year.At the Certificate of Appropriateness meeting other Brooklyn items will also bebut another twist was added to the story that night as a third plaintiff, Hallen Construction Co., was brought into the case by Brooklyn Union Gas. The company had been doing street work near the site of the main break. According to the attorney, BUG%u2019s Daniel Cohen, Hallen is the responsible party for the claims.Howard Einbinder, Joseph McKay, Tobianne Simmons and Philippe Maucotel haveheard: an application for the legalization of a wooden panel door to be installed at 276 S t e r ling PI.; an application to construct a replacement stoop and install new iron work at 145 Clinton St.; an application to legalize one over one aluminum replacement windows at 112 Lafayette Ave.; application to legalize the installation of a masonry newel post at the base of the stoop at 883 Union St.The public hearing will be held on Nov. 25 at 9:30am in the hearing room at the Commission%u2019s headquarters at 20 Vesev St. (11th Floor).each filed claims ranging from $500 to $1,300 for damages to furnaces and hot water heaters, caused by flood waters backing up into the systems last October.
