The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission took no action on the proposed development of the Domino Sugar refinery on the Williamsburg waterfront but suggested to the developer, Community Preservation Corporation Resources, to scale back the five-story glass structure proposed for the roof of the Domino building. A spokeswoman for the commission said that the scale of the rooftop addition would overwhelm the height of the landmark building and asked the developer to revise the plans.

The commission similarly took no action on Friedland Properties’s plan to tear down a two-story structure on the block between 64th and 65th streets and Madison Avenue that currently houses a number of businesses to make room for luxury condominiums. The commission told the developer that the scale of the building was not appropriate but said it would consider a shorter addition. It is unclear when the commission will reevaluate the projects, as it is up to the applicants to now revise their plans.
