Two individual pages add some amplification to the above. A letter from the SGPA, dated June 11, 2006, addressed to the Chairman of the LPC, sums up the level of support (as yet incomplete at that date), implicitly to urge the LPC to place Sunnyside Gardens on its formal calendar for designation. The other page, headed "from the LPC's... page 3" (reprinting the LPC's summary of its Public Hearing to consider Sunnyside Gardens' designation), served as a cover sheet for supporting materials, like those above, which were delivered to members of the City Council in anticipation of their vote to affirm or overturn the LPC's designation at the conclusion the designation process in early Fall 2007., 2006-2007
