LPC Public Hearing – February 11th, 2025
APPROVED
LPC Public Hearing – November 26th, 2024
NO ACTION – Commissioners had concerns about:
– The proposed Keim coating at the primary facade, and asked the applicants to explore no coating or a clear coating;
-The reconstruction of the top two floors at the rear, and should look at keeping them in place;
– The shape and height of the bulkhead, and discussed incorporating skylight into the design to retain that element of the building’s history.

CB Resolution Recommends:
A. Approval of the front facade windows, cornice, and entrance modifications; and

C. Approval of the rooftop addition provided that steps are taken to reduce its visibility from a public thoroughfare; and
