299-301 Hoyt Street
Retailiation On Hoyt Street
Not so long ago, Jim Mamary envisioned an oyster bar in the space once occupied by a pediatrician at 299-301 Hoyt Street. That didn't sit very well with neighboring residents who pointed out that the restaurant entrepreneur had already opened the Black Mountain Wine House around the corner on Union Street. They argued that the location was zoned strictly residential and that a bar would impact the quiet nature of that block.
The Community Board 6 and the Buildings Department supported the business owner's position at first, but relief for the Hoyt Street residents finally did come when the Buildings Department reversed its original position and made the determination that the Use Group 4 zoning on that block of Hoyt Street did not allow a bar. Under Use Group 4, only community facility usage is allowed. This would include educational, recreational, religious, health or other essential services for the community it serves.
Since then, Mamary has pulled out of the deal.
In a New York Times article,
Mamary stated that he would seek revenge against the Hoyt street residents by keeping chickens in the little yard in front of the wine bar around the corner. A 'for lease' sign from the Carroll Gardens Realty went up at the end of November, but obviously, the owner has not found a new tenant yet. I am not sure that sign will help.
Zoning Unimportant In Carroll Gardens!
Retailiation On Hoyt Street
The new sign on 299-301 Hoyt Street shows the true colors of the landlord or the restaurateur. Whoever attached the sign to the gate is planning "retailiation" against the opponents of the proposed oyster bar.
This lack of consideration for their neighbors verifies the concerns voiced by the Hoyt street residents.
