Chair Louis asks whether the applicant considered a subway improvement density bonus; Loeb says they looked at it but not really, and Siegel says the MTA declined an easement on the site.

Farah N. Louis

All right.

Farah N. Louis

And do you consider a subway improvement density bonus?

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

We looked at it, but not really.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

We're very far from there, and we did not.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

Do you want to answer that?

Farah N. Louis

Okay.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

Yeah, no, there's no...

Member of the Public - Jay Siegel

required us to invite the MTA to take an easement on the site, and the MTA sent us a letter declining it.

Member of the Public - Jay Siegel

They apparently have other plans to how to make this station accessible that don't include our building.

Farah N. Louis

Okay.
