undertaking is eligible for federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). The Area of Potential Effects (APE) includes
the subject block and properties within the surrounding and facing blocks.
The letter concludes that the proposed undertaking will result in no adverse
effects to identified historic resources. At this time MOH is seeking comments
on the Findings of Effect. The Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board (Landmarks
Board) will, as a consulting party in the Section 106 review process, review
and comment on the Findings of Effect, as described in the letter dated
December 7, 2004. A letter containing the comments of the Landmarks Board
will be sent to the Director of Planning. The Director will then forward
