BSA approves 2 Little Neck projects

From Bayside Patch:

The city’s Board of Standards and Appeals has granted permits for two long-vacant sites in Little Neck, Community Board 11’s district manager said.

Permits have been approved for a watch manufacturer to move its headquarters into the former Leviton site along Little Neck Parkway and for a complex to be constructed at the former Scobee Diner site.

Susan Seinfeld, CB 11’s district manager, said that E. Gluck Corp., a watch manufacturer based in Long Island City, has been given the go-ahead to begin work at the Little Neck Parkway locale that previously housed Leviton, which manufactured electrical wiring devices and motion sensors.

A permit has also been granted for the former Scobee Diner on Northern Boulevard, where a complex is planned that will house a bank on its first floor and a dentist’s office on the second floor.

The popular diner closed for business in November 2010.

Not sure how anyone thinks this a good move for the community looks like a factory in the middle of a residential area. Plus 400 people means about 400 extra cars or more. That area doesn't support that many cars which will lead to over expansion, possibly a tier parking lot.
