PAST HEARING/MEETING DATES and DECISIONS

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.

Community Board 2 Meeting – November 18th, 2024
CB Resolution Recommends:
A. Approval of the front facade windows, cornice, and entrance modifications; and
B. Approval with reservations of the white paint represented by the applicant as necessary for preservation of the facade; and
C. Approval of the rooftop addition provided that steps are taken to reduce its visibility from a public thoroughfare; and
D. Approval of the two upper floors of the rear facade and approval of the rear extension provided that the window be heightened to reflect the two story historic facade; and
E. That the garden fence which was not presented be reviewed by Commission staff.
