Good afternoon.
1:36:28
Next slide, please.
1:36:31
One of the things that's very interesting about this project is normally these these privately built streets would go to the New York City board of standards and appeals for approval to build on an unmapped street.
1:36:43
In the last mayorial administration, They got away from BSA approving GCL.
1:36:50
General city law 36 Streets, and we were instructed to map these private roads.

Oh, there we
Kevin C. Riley
1:39:20
go.
1:39:20
Alright.
Phil Rampulla
1:39:21
So that that's the existing conditions, and you can see that the site is surrounded by water on two sides, and it's actually the Lower Raritan Bay.
1:39:33
This is a 94 unit single family detached home development.
1:39:39
Previously, 14 of those houses were built and you can see them up on the slide because they face on a city map street.
1:39:49
So the developer was able to buy the project in 2017, and those first 14 went up.
1:39:58
Next slide, please.
1:40:02
Or shouldn't I even ask?
Ellen Hay
1:40:04
Just leave it.
Lincoln Restler
1:40:07
No.
1:40:09
It's not the problem.
1:40:10
That's the point I
Phil Rampulla
1:40:12
So access, pedestrian access.
1:40:17
Okay.
1:40:18
So to our left, is Lemon Creek Park, and to the right is Wolf spawn Park.
1:40:25
And one of the goals was to create 2 pedestrian paths that are on each side of the tidal creek behind the houses that were built to have pedestrian access link one side of the development to the other.
1:40:42
The there is one access point for public access by the newly mapped street on the right side of the screen.
1:40:51
And that comes down and has a circular shape to it, and there are 4 cross streets that connect the loops streets.
1:41:03
The streets will be open to the public on a 24 hour basis within the the private development itself are 2 public access points for scenic overviews because we're at a much higher elevation than the water.
1:41:20
The water is at elevation 0, and we're at about elevation 16.
1:41:25
So about 16 feet above the water.
1:41:27
In addition to that, to the very, very right of the road that leads into the project site is a public pedestrian access that goes along the beach.
1:41:40
So they have access that goes around the site, to the bottom and then leads into Lemon Creek Park.
1:41:49
So be be besides the 22 pedestrian links to the parks.
1:41:55
There is also public access within the development, and there's public access at at the beachfront.
1:42:03
When we first started this, and I can.
