This is the site of the old Uncle Louie-G's and Al's
Chicken and Ribs. In fact, it was the very first site for Uncle
Louie-G: "Founders John Russo and his sister in-law Carmen Barrios
opened the
first Uncle Louie G store at 362 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn New
York. That first modest shop doubled as the company factory. John and
Carmen would dream up and experiment with their "secret recipes" by
night and sell their delicious Italian ices and ice cream by day. Later
that year Drew Bizzoco joined the family becoming the third partner in
Uncle Louie G, Inc." (http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/feel_like_a_kid_again_uncle_louie_gs/ )
This property was purchased from Jeshayahu
Boymelgreen on Nov. 19, 2003 by Henry Radusky. A bid for a variance to
build a 32-unit condo was on the verge of being declined by the Board
of Standards and Appeals, so they withdrew the application. BSA was
appalled at how high they wanted to go, given the small homes on Kermit
Place and told them to come back with something smaller and commercial.
The lot has been cleared and the old ramshackle building
removed. It still serves as storage for autos and trucks. The most
recent rumor is that they are talking with White Castle about
developing it. General feeling in the neighborhood is that it
should be developed as a low-rise mixed use building. Maybe a floor of
local retail and 2 floors of residential space above. Stable Brooklyn
will be contacting the owner and inviting them to consider our
community plan in order to get neighborhood support of a use for the
lot. UPDATE:
The lot has been cleared of all autos. It seems something is afoot, but
no word yet on what. No one has received any public hearing notices as
yet. (1/18/07) |

This is an empty lot that runs the length of the block between
E.7th and E.8th Streets fronting Caton Ave. It is zoned R6 and is
being used for construction equipment storage and landscaping / tree
storage. It was once supposed to be developed as a nursing home, but
that did not happen. It could potentially be better utilized for small
scale commercial / retail use to provide much needed ammenities to the
surrounding area's residents. We have no information on the owner's
plans for this lot. There are multiple violations against the lot and a
lot of hearsay about internal family fights over how to develop the
land. If anyone has any trustworthy information or would like to follow
up on this property, please do so.

 Here is a rendering of the 59 unit building nearing
completion on Coney Island Avenue. This building was approved by the
Board of Standards and Appeals for a variance to build residential (and
very bulky) in a commercial district. The area is severely lacking in
commercial amenities (unless you are looking for gasoline or auto
parts). Coney Island Avenue is zoned as a use group for automotive
services. If you think this one is big, it is only half the size of
what is going to go up on Caton Place next to the stables. That one
will be 107 units. Both are luxury condos.
9 stories, 59 units, 93 feet tall, zoned C8-2; no info on square footage. Block: 5322 Lot: 69

 The architect's renderings of the condos to be built "as
of right" at 23-45 Caton Place under R7A zoning with air rights
purchased from a neighboring building. This image can also be viewed at
the architect's website: http://www.kfarchitect.com/ Go to "Portfolio, Multi-Family, Caton Place" to see the 107 unit, 140,000 sq.ft. building.
The underground parking will have a driveway entrance on Caton Place,
at the edge of 71 Ocean Parkway. The top two floors are stepped back
with terraces. The building is L-shaped and has a 40 foot rear yard
that extends 178 feet of the 225 foot lot. Residents of 31 Ocean
Parkway in the rear apartments closest to E. 8th Street will be most
affected by the building as it will block off the cutout for their
windows.
