CB5 says no to yeshiva dorm

From the Queens Courier:

After months of deliberation, Community Board 5 (CB 5) voted to recommend denying the Glendale yeshiva’s application for a zoning variance to expand the building during the monthly community board meeting on Wednesday night at Christ the King High School in Middle Village.

The board’s Land Use Committee met last month to hear the yeshiva’s proposal on the need for the school’s expansion from 360 dormitory beds, to 710 beds and the addition of a four-story building on the site located at 74-10 88th St.

Questions over the yeshiva’s original Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) raised community concerns with how the dorms were allowed to be placed in the building, which is in an M1-1 zone, where sleeping accommodations are not permitted.

Go over the the Steinway Mansion - you got 11 dorms and a study center already made.

The Community Board is just an advisory board.

If the yeshiva’s application is denied, it will be more difficult to justify the Wilner shelter.

So what do you think the powers that be will do???

Dizzy Lizzy will have to expel more CB 5 members who don't vote the Party way.

Bet you they cry anti-Semitism. Turned down in Christ the King High School no less. (I've been at public events held at CtheK where yarmulke-wearers literally cringed to be there.)

The politicians will be harassed and eventually the dorm will be allowed.

They have been illegally occupying the place for YEARS, and never disciplined. If you belong to the right tribe, you can do as you please.

Steinway Mansion ?
Wasn't that built by the Germans ?
Talk about yarmulke-wearers cringing, have no fear for they will bitch, scream and lawyer up till those dorms are allowed. I'm wondering what will happen to the ancient sewers in that area, they hardly work now. I'm told all that low land was once a lake (Fresh Pond) pipes dont gravity drain. It was surrounded by a Carnasie Indian colony who placed a curse on it when it was stolen from them to make the Montauk line to enlarge and supply the Montauk Navy station's out east. They even did secret time travel and "experiments" out that way.

How much water do you think they will use?

Benjamin Pike, the original occupier and builder of the Mansion, was German?

The community board vote is a Bullshit vote. The BSA will approve this project. The BSA is a big problem that need to be changed.
