b)                     an Urban Development Action Area Project for such area (the "Project"); and

 

pursuant to Section 197-c of the New York City Charter for the disposition of such property to a developer selected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to facilitate development of seven residential buildings, tentatively known as Madison/Putnam, with approximately 48 units, to be developed under the Housing Preservation and Development’s Cornerstone Program (the "Disposition"), Community District 3, Borough of Brooklyn (ULURP No. C 080278 HAK) (the "Application");

WHEREAS, the Application and Decision are subject to review and action by the Council pursuant to Article 16 of the General Municipal Law of New York State;

                       WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Application and Decision on June 17, 2008;
