0/11/12 EXCLUSIVE: Rich Fifth Avenue residents signed deal with Metropolitan Museum of Art to limit crowds i

This was a museum of the people, fumed Theodore Grunewald. Now its thepeople versus this self-appointed group of elite people.

Teri Slater, a preservationist and community-board member, was shocked to learnof the backroom deal, inked in July especially because it requires residents topraise the new design.

This undermines the public process, she said. Private individuals were decidingwhat goes into public space.

Grunewald heads a band of preservationists who want to save the fountains, whichKoch and the museums director Thomas Campbell have deemed ugly.

Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche designed the fountains in 1968 for themuseums centennial. Theyre 110 feet long and the second-largest in New Yorkafter the one surrounding the Unisphere in Queens.

The agreement states that the co-ops cannot file suit against the museum or assistanyone else in challenging the plaza.

If others sue the Met, the Fifth Avenue socialites must provide an affidavit statingthat the museums plans for the fountains, trees and plantings will significantlyimprove the plazas visual appearance, the legal document says.

Spokesman Harold Holzer said the museum wasnt trying to sidestep the public but

wanted to move the project forward without a lawsuit.

We dont regard it as a crucial design element of the plaza, and it didnt seemworth [notifying people] over an issue like a portable kiosk, he said.

Its not a matter of secrecy at all, Holzer added. Its just getting the project tomove forward without anybody being unhappy.

UPPER EAST SIDE Plans for a $60 million makeoverofthe plaza outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art havecontinued to shrink, as organizers announced they'reslashing 280 seats from a planned 400-seat courtyard.

After stepping ba ck in September from pla ns to in clude

food and ticket kiosks largely because residents fearedthat they would turn the area into a Starbucks-like"hangout" the Met has agreed to decrease the plannedseating from 100 tables and 400 chairs to 30 tables and120 chairs, a 70 percent decrease in the number ofseats.

"We did this out of respect to the neighbors," said HaroldHolzer, senior vice president for external affairs at the Met,who spoke at Community Board 8's TransportationCommittee meeting Wednesday night.

They thought "it was too much too soon," he explained.

After construction is completed in two years, Met officialswill study the area and reconsider whether kiosks should be permitted, he added.

The changes are part of a long-planned overhaul to New York's top tourist attraction, slated to start Oct. 15.

In addition to bolstered public seating in the style of a European plaza Met officials will install new lighting, trees, anda modernized fountain.

Officials wanted the renovation funded by David Koch to help relieve congestion on the oft-crowded musem steps.Neighbors, however, fear that the plaza would harm the neighborhood's quality of life and bring too many loiterers.

"This spells Starbucks: a place to hang out all day and have coffee," Peggy Price, Community Board 8 member, said atthat time.

Attendees also wanted to know whether pre sent foodsell ers and artists would be pe rmitted after the construction, a ddingthat they don't want hot dog vendors around.

"We don't control that," Holzer explained.

Those present also worried about the trees selected for the plaza sycamores and lindens might make the museumlook bad i f poorly maintained.

Lindens, one woman said, required constant watering and maintanence.

"If you had a row full of wilted lindens, it would not be an asset to the museum," said the woman, who did not give hername.

Museum officials responded that the trees would be adequately hydrated, as they are installing an underground irrigationsystem.

MANHATTAN Bil lionai re ind ustrialist an d MetropolitanMuseum ofArt Trustee David Koch is footing the bill for amajor renovation of the landmark institution's four-block-long outdoor plaza on Fifth Avenue, officials announcedTuesday.

The renovation, reported to cost $60 million, will mark theMet's first overhaul of the plaza in 40 years, when thedesign was changed to accommodate car access, officialssaid. The new renovation, which will replace the fountainsand seating that have aged beyond repair, will focus onpedestrian access.

"We see the need for a space that will make a significantcontribution to our neighborhood, rich in spatial character,with glorious fountains, welcoming shade, choices forseating, beautiful plantings, and light refreshments, all inelegant complement to our iconic Beaux-Arts building,"Thomas Campbell, director and CEO of the Met, said in astatement,

The Met will remove the deteriorating fountains that havebeen around since the 1970s, installing new ones closer to the museum's front s teps that will be operational year roundwith water warmed by recycling steam to prevent freezing.

The plan, by the urban design firm OLIN, will also improve access to street-level entrances at 81st and 83rd streets, and

create a new shaded walkway wi th 100 London Plane trees that will be "pollarded."The pruning technique will allow sun to warm the plaza in the winter and cool it in the winter, without the trees beingallowed to grow tall to block the building's faade.

As for the 4 4 Lond on Plan es currently there, officials said they were pl anted in "inadequa te" conditions and w ill beremoved.

Ornamental beds of shrubs and flowers will hearken back to the original concepts by the building's architects, McKimMead and White.

There will also be new seating with lightweight movable chairs similar to ones in the city's public plazas, as well asenergy-efficient lighting that will "treat the building like a work of art," museum officials said.

The museum will design two kiosks for the plaza one to serverefreshments and the other to distribute museum information and speedup museum admissions.

Museum officials said they expected the Parks Department to re-designate specific vending spots for art vendors and the two foodconcessions currently there.

Campbell presented the plans at separate meetings Tuesday for publicofficials and Upper East Side residents. The Met would like to beginconstruction on the project, which needs public approval, by the fall of2012. It would take an estimated 23 months to complete.

Koch is New York's wealthiest resident and is known for making largedonations to conservative political causes. His donations to LincolnCenter, where a theater is named for him, have attracted the ire of someOccupy Wall Street protesters.
