The hearing was the first stew in preparing the Board%u2019s 1980/81 budget priorities. Community groups seeking support from the Board for their applications for federal Community Development VI funds, channeled through the city, got their chance to outline their plans, while others with concerns on their minds were urged to get application forms in.A number of organizations were trying again to get monies that they had applied for before but had not received previously, such as a group concerned with creating artists%u2019 housing and a Community Gallery at 140 Lafayette Avenue. Planning a new project is the Pratt Area Community. Council, whose representatives, Kathleen Kavanaugh, outlined an application for monies for housing rehabilitation and technical assistance in the Pratt community. About twelve different projects were described by neighborhood and youth services, arts projects, and building preservation and rehabilitation.The chief concern which was ruled out-of-order was pressure from Fort Greene residents for information about the Tri-Block Proposal, a plan for extensive scatter-site rehabilitation of buildings in the blocks touching Fulton Street between St. Felix Street and Fort Greene Place. The proposal has been submitted for funding from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by Brooklyn Comprehensive Housing Corporation, a housing rehabilitation, management and maintenance organization headed by Frank Garrett. The Tri-Block plan has been in preparation for six years, and is supported by Congressman Fred Richmond.The neighborhood is concerned that they will not have a chance to learn about the plans until it%u2019s too late to change them. Marsha Rimlcr, Chairperson of the Board Two Committee on Planning and District Development emphasized that the plan will be going through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) so that extensive hearings will be held. Board Two will vote on the plan and Board of Estimate approval will be needed.Hotel Nearly DemolishedAfter a brief scare where it seemed as if the former Mohawk Hotel on Washington Avenue would be demolished the City%u2019s Housing, Preservation and Development (HPD) Department discovered a %u201c confusion of signals%u201d and cancelled the demolition plans.Clinton Hill residents saw men measuring the abandoned 10 story structure on September 3. By September 10 the city was taking bids for demolition but by then people had contacted Councilmember Abraham Gerges. Gerges talked to an HPD Commissioner who then rescinded the order to take the building down.Lawrence Yarmack, Deputy Director of Demoliton for HPD claims that neighborhood residents requested that the building be demolished. Later, he says he found that another neighborhood group, the Mohawk Action Committee with Chairwoman Alegra Dengler were trying to rehabilitate it and so abandoned demolition plans.Usually. Yarmack explained, plans for demolitions are sent to the local Community Board, Board Two, to check %u201c if they object%u2019%u2019 but that in this case there might have been a %u201c Confusion of signals.%u201dSince 1977 the Mohawk Action Committee has been working to convert the former Hotel into 80 co-op apartments and have applied for a city participation loan to finance the renovation.Absent Ferry Service HailedThe new ferry service from Brooklyn to Manhattan will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 17, but actual ferry service may be put off until next year. Cynthia Goulder, Assistant Director of the National Maritime Historical Society, reports that the boat itself may not be ready to be put into service before winter. Details of the October 17 celebration will be announced.%u2014L.H.Subsidized Tenants RebatedAs a result of the nation%u2019s largest class action settlement in history, tenants who lived in HUD%u2019s section 236 housing between Feb. 1, 1975 and Sept. 30, 1977 will receive refunds up to 500 dollars.In Brooklyn, section 236 housing apartments include the College Commons, on Atlantic and South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene, Tivoli Towers, 34 Crown St., Crown Heights, and others. An informational presentation for all those who think they may be eligible for refunds will be held on Oct. 15, 7:30 pm at the Billy Holiday auditorium at Bed-Sty Restoration Project. How to get your refunds and to check if you are qualified will be explained by Patricia Tenoso, the attorney for the case.By the end of October, all tenants still living in the 236 housing since the time when the rent subsidies were withheld, should get claim forms from the owners or managers of their buildings. Eligible claimants who have since moved from the 236 housing project should contact the managers of those developments.Rank QIyss Orchestra GiftThe twenty-five year old Brooklyn Philharmonia received a $1,000 gift from Citibank and will use the funds for matching a National Endowment grant alloted to the Philharmonia for the orchestra%u2019s educational programs for school children. Citibank manager George Loetz presented the check to Philharmonia manager Maurice Edwards.
