EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT:
Ms. Peebles provided the attendees with an update on all Agency projects, including but not
limited to the status of Photocircuits , Stanley Park Houses, Piazza, Glen Cove Cinema and
Waterfront. She announced that the developer from RXR Glen Isle Partners will make a
presentation to the public on February 19th at 7PM in the Main Chambers of City Hall on the
current plans for the waterfront redevelopment project. Those current plans were brought
before the Planning Board on February 4th with an emphasis on the public amenities and
open space aspects of the project. The developer wants to assure the public that the
waterfront is not going to be a “gated community” but will be available to all for the
enjoyment of the City. The Gateway II implementation and marketing effort is being headed
by Ms. Peebles with the assistance of the CDA and Building Department to take a closer look
at zoning to identify areas where the existing process of opening business can be
streamlined and communicate these proposed changes in our marketing materials. Ms.
Machol advised that she brought an intern on staff who is studying for his Master’s Degree
in Planning and is taking the inventory provided by the consultant and adding information
such as Section, Block and Lot and contact information, square footage and photographs as
part of his Master’s Thesis. This deliverable will be very useful in the identification of
available properties and placement of any business interests to our Downtown and Gateway
study area. Ms. Peebles announced that the new owner and operator of the Glen Cove
Cinema are working tirelessly to renovate the cinema for its opening which is anticipated in
the early spring and that the CDA will be assisting with commercial façade renovation
funding. The Piazza project is back on track and Mr. Puntillo, developer of the project, has
presented revised plans to the Planning Board on February 4, 2014 that includes a drivethrough Panera Bread being considered for approval. The Panera Bread will be a building
unto itself located in the old Ruby Tuesday’s building with no residential units thereby
scaling down to one floor.

the density of the project. Mr. Puntillo is committed to the PILOP and has been awarded $1
million in NYS CFA funding toward the eminent domain aspect of this project that will be
helpful in creating the “open space” design of the project.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Chairman Spinello advised that the Governance Committee met on January 28th to review the

Governance Committee recommends to the IDA members to approve the performance results
measurement report, accomplishments and board evaluation for submission to the Authorities
Budget Office (ABO) on or before March 30, 2014. The members agreed and the report will be
submitted to the ABO as submitted.

meeting was adjourned at 6:58 p.m.
