Marshall says no to College Point spa

From the Times Ledger:

Borough President Helen Marshall gave two thumbs down to plans for another spa in College Point last week.

The borough president decided not to approve plans to build the New York Spa of College Point, a two-story relaxation hub envisioned by property owner Kwang Nam Park that would go up in the neighborhood’s corporate park.

The spa would be located in the two-story building currently home to warehouses and offices, at 131-23 31st Ave., which Park already owns.

After mulling over the plans for several weeks, Marshall ultimately denied the plans for the spa, which would include a rooftop pool and restaurant, on the grounds of inadequate parking.

In a Dec. 20 decision, she said first the spa would create more vehicle trips to and from the location than warehouses and offices. And because street parking is not allowed in that location, the spa’s parking plan would not be able to handle that increased traffic, Marshall said.

Second, the valet parking setup proposed in the plans would cause a backup of cars going in and out of the lot, according to the borough president’s decision.

BP went along with CB7 recommendation. But don't be surprised if BSA approves the plan anyway.

With all these proposed "Spas" in the College Point area, future police cadets will have plenty of places to "relax."

Good, they will deserve the relaxation after trying to protect this ungrateful zoo of a city from itself.
