EXHIBIT II— REPORT OF SUBCOMMITTEE ON RELATION OF PRO- 

 POSED PLAN TO OTHER PLANS OF CITY DEVELOPMENT 



June 15, 1910. 

 To the Committee on the City Plan: 



Gentlemen- — The Mayor, as the Chairman of the Committee on City 

 Plan, has appointed a special committee consisting of the Chief Engineer 

 of the .board of Estimate and Apportionment, the rive Borough Consulting 

 Engineers, the Landscape Architect of the Park Department, and the Con- 

 sultant and Secretary of the Committee on the City Plan to consider the 

 recommendations and plans of the Districting Commission and report to the 

 Committee on the City Plan. 



This committee has given such consideration to the recommendations 

 and plans of the Districting Commission as the time at its disposal per- 

 mitted. While the report and plans had been in the hands of the members 

 of the committee for too short a time to enable them to make a thorough 

 study of them, all of the members of the committee were quite familiar 

 with the work of the Commission and most of them attended the public 

 hearings which have been given, particularly those at which consideration 

 was given to the boroughs represented by them. All of the members of the 

 committee are convinced of the great need of restrictive regulations govern- 

 ing the height of buildings, the use to which they may be put and the pri 'por- 

 tion of the plots which may be occupied by them. All of them have had ample 

 opportunity to observe the manner in which the different boroughs and the 

 City as a whole have lately been developing and they keenly appreciate the 

 unfortunate results of the lack in the past of such regulations as are pro- 

 posed and the need of them to insure better control of future growth. They 

 believe that the results of such control will be : 



To prevent undue congestion of population. 



To insure better sanitary conditions. 



To simplify the problem of traffic regulation. 



To lessen the danger and delay of movement in the City streets 



which is due to mixed traffic. 

 To simplify the transit problems of the City. 

 To prevent the over-intensive development of property contiguous to 



the new transit lines now being constructed. 

 To render possible a more economical development of City streets 



through a decrease in the width of streets and roadways where the 



size and consequently the number of buildings are restricted.
