Subject: FW: District 2 Blue Page Item - Visual Use of Vacant Lots - 13 nov
Dist 2 Blue Page item - Vacant Lots
Commissioners to discuss the utilization of well located privately owned vacant lots for use
visually as "green space". There are many privately owned vacant lots throughout the City.
Many vacant lots are very visible because they are on very busy streets and very busy avenues.
Many of these vacant lots do not look as attractive as they could. It appears a large
percentage of these vacant lots will not get developed for at least 2-4 years, or more.
Commissioners to discuss incentives to encourage the private owners to keep the
lots maintained in a park like manner and the possibility of removing unsightly fences.
Possible tax abatements, reduced assessed valuations and other incentives will be discussed.
A more beautiful greener City should result.
Commissioner Marc D. Sarnoff
