As of:

  • 3/12/13: Application approved at today’s LPC public meeting, and is now closed. Second story application: The Commission found that the removal of the modern cladding was an improvement and reconstructing this story in brick returns it to its historic look. The widened window at the Second Avenue storefront relates to the rest of the avenue. Storefront application: The fixed display windows at the corner, black finished aluminum infill, and operable doors are appropriate for this stretch of Second Avenue.
  • 3/8/13: LPC meeting scheduled for 3/12. Please note public testimony is not taken at this time.
  • 2/26/13: At today’s public hearing, the LPC took a vote of no action on both applications. For the facade work application, the LPC requested that the applicant work with staff to either remove the steel beam and get ride of the cornice addition on the facade or figure out a better way to seamlessly connect the second and third floors, perhaps by extending the second floor windows. They also felt that the stucco box should be removed. For the storefront application, the LPC requested that the applicant again work with staff to remove the accordion style doors and to look to other restaurants in the area for inspiration. The applicant will present revisions at a future public meeting, date TBD.
  • 2/7/13: Application rescheduled for a 2/26 LPC hearing; CB3 hearing to be held 2/14.
  • 2/1/13: Application laid over at LPC. Future date TBD. This could be due to the fact that CB3 was not able to schedule a hearing beforehand.
