Mad on Madison: UES Not Permitted to Soar to Great Heights

---

The Landmarks Preservation Commission wasn't just gently wagging its finger at Williamsburg's Domino Plant yesterday. The LPC also had to decide on the matter of the controversial 14-story condo building planned for 746 Madison Avenue, and as expected, the commission suggested that maybe this thing is a little too tall for this particular stretch of the Upper East Side Historic District. The Sun reports: "The commission told the developer that the scale of the building was not appropriate but said it would consider a shorter addition." Now it's up to developer Friedland Properties to either make revisions or abandon the thing altogether. There's plenty of money to be made here, so we'll assume they'll go with the former.
