[BwayDems] IMPORTANT OWNERS’ MEETING FOR MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT

[Daniel O'Donnell]

Dear Neighbor,

My office recently received word that the NYC Landmarks Preservation 
Commission (LPC) is considering a potential Morningside Heights Historic 
District.  The LPC will be holding an informational owners’ meeting on 
Monday, September 20, 2010, at 6:00PM.  The meeting will be held at the 
Riverside Church, Room 10-T (entrance located at 91 Claremont Avenue).

An LPC-designated historic district would provide property owners 
throughout the district with numerous protections.  One of the most 
notable protections is that inclusion in an historic district ensures 
the community has a voice in development decisions throughout our 
neighborhood, such as where and how new construction on vacant or other 
“soft” sites can take place.

This meeting is a very important opportunity for community members who 
want to demonstrate support for a Morningside Historic District to do 
so, as it is one of the few meetings in the designation process, as well 
as one of the final opportunities to influence the size of the district 
considered by the LPC.

At the meeting, LPC staff will discuss the details of a historic 
district, including how the Commission’s designation and regulatory 
processes work.  There will also be an opportunity for community members 
to ask questions.  To learn more about the LPC and its designation 
process beforehand, you can visit http://www.nyc.gov/html/lpc/.

If you know other Morningside Heights property owners who do not know 
about this significant meeting, please pass this letter or information 
along to them.

Very truly yours,

Daniel O’Donnell
Assembly Member
