Calkos plans are stuck in park
There’s still no solution to the parking controversy engenderedby a new medical center under construction at Bay Parkway and 60thStreet.
The Marcal Group, the developer of the Calko Medical Center,came up short of providing enough parking spaces once again at aNovember 22 Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) hearing, whenrepresentatives — who are aiming to get the number of parkingspaces they are required to provide reduced — admitted that theyhad inadvertently forgotten to include plans for a cafeteria in thebasement in plans discussed during the October hearing.
The BSA had suggested at that time that Marcal move storagespace to make room for cars. According to city zoning requirements,there are supposed to be 248 spaces, but BSA previously reduced thenumber to 170.
