Developer wants to build beyond zoning in Greenpoint

Developer
Dean Palin wants to build a 40-story condo in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 10
stories higher than zoning permits. His planned 422-unit building
is part of a 620-unit development he has planned for the waterfront site at
155 West Street, between Huron and
India streets. Palin says he needs the 10 extra floors because he
cannot build within 50 feet of a sewage pipe that runs through the lot
or a 25-foot section of wetlands also on the property.
