Good morning,
DPS approves the project with the following comments:
Fire: FD provides an initial approval, but will need a more detailed site plan to review to determine
appropriate fire apparatus access within the proposed complex. Note: The site plan in the traffic study is
slightly different than what is presented in the other attached documents.
Police- Traffic: PD does not have traffic concerns at this time. I defer to the traffic safety study that was
completed and attached to the application.
Police: The PD has the same concerns we have explained on similar site plans; This development will add
128 housing units and about as many more hotel rooms. This will impact our calls for service volume as
demonstrated by other developments that have been built. The PD's size has not, to date, been
increased to accommodate additional residents and building developments.
Traffic Garage: I will defer to NYSDOT, as the project location is in their jurisdiction.
Code: Code Administration has some concerns but nothing that would pertain to the State and City Code
at this time.

Hi Lisa,
The Planning Board is reviewing an application for a Special Use Permit for a proposed mixed-use
development project, including a 120-room extended stay hotel, 128 multi-family residential units, and
8,000 sq ft retail space. I've provided the application, project narrative, traffic study, and site plan set for
distribution to the depts in DPS.
As requested, please also provide this info to the Commissioner, and we appreciate all dept comments.
