Defending the status quo, the preservationists said it was the administration of the law, not the law itself, that needs to be changed.David Sussman, attorney for the Landmarks Conservancy of the Municipal Arts Society, said that the imposition of a moratorium would jeopardize the preservation of many historic buildings. %u201cOnce the hunting season opened,%u201d he said, %u201cstructures or buddings not on the list would be open season for developers.%u201dSussman also said that the Cooper group did not take adequate measures to protect the interiors of historic buildings and had entirely denied the public any input into its report.Real estate developers felt differently about the recommendations. Steve Spinola, president of the Real Estate Board of New York, said he supported the Cooper Committee report, but %u201cwould like to see it work faster. The Commission is going to need a larger staff and will need funding for aBY ROB TAYLORThe chasm separating the custodians for the City%u2019s historic buildings from progressive building interests is widening with the release of a controversial report that suggests ways to improve the working relationship between one City agency trying to preserve the buildings and another that approves permits for thier renovation or demolition.On June 20, City officials %u2014 including Deputy Mayor Robert Esnard, Buildings Commissioner Charles Smith and the Chairman of the Landmarks Commission, Gene Norman %u2014 heard testimony from more than 80 individuals representing religious organizations, historic preservation associations and real estate interests about the conclusions summarized in a report drafted by the Cooper Commission.The committee, led by architect Alexander Cooper, was formed 15 months ago by Mayor Ed Koch to examine the administration of the existing Landmarks Preservation Law. In May, the five-member group released a 25-page report recommending that a city-wide survey of historical buildings be taken to create a %u201cprotected buddings list%u201d and that a three-tofive year moratorium be placed on additions to the list once it has been determined. The group also recommended that the City budget an additional $4 million to the Landmarks Preservation Commission %u2014 roughly a 300 percent increase %u2014 to complete the list.The recommendations appeared to fall far short of the expectations of building preservationists attending the meeting. According to most of the testimony during the hearing at City Hall, the Cooper Committee neglected to address all of the important issues. The recommendation also seemed to focus attention on what Richard Hayes of the Cobble Hill Association called %u201ca Manhattan problem.%u201dMany of the individuals testifying were concerned about the possible alteration andmore professional handling of the process.he said.Spinola argued that the Landmarks Commission should have to designate criteria that a building needs to meet in order to be placed on a list. %u201cAny additions to the list after it was closed would undermine its certainty,%u201d he said.Most of these issues, however, were of little concern to members of Brooklyn%u2019s historic preservation organizations. %u201cWe are not dealing with Manhattan problems in Brooklyn. We have too many developers trying to get in on the act,%u201d said Hayes, referring to a large number of brownstone owners who would like to have their property designated as landmarks. Hayes said there are delays of six to nine months on many of the applications.Gerry Schick of the Ft.
