—- STATUS OF THIS APPLICATION —-

This section provides updates if there are changes to the hearing dates listed above, which includes instances when an application has been laid over (aka postponed). If applicable, LPC public meeting dates for this application will also be tracked here. Please note that public testimony is taken at public hearings, but not at public meetings.

9/15/2022 CB2, Man. recommends:
A. Approval with commendation of the restoration of the facade and installation of proper windows of the period; and
B. Denial of the rooftop extension and chimney extensions or any other structure on the roof where any construction would be unacceptably highly visible from the pristine street of small row houses and the nearby avenue; and
C. Denial of the wall-to-wall excavation of the cellar for reasons of concern for the integrity of the building and neighboring buildings; and
D. Denial of the rooftop fire pit owing to grave concerns over the evident danger of any open flame in an enclave of wooden buildings and suggest communication with the proper authorities about this aspect of the application.

12/13/2022 LPC: No action. Asked the applicant to restudy the rear excavation, rooftop addition, and chimney extensions.

1/31/2023 LPC: No action.

3/14/2023 LPC: No action. Commissioners believe that the proposed alterations are simply too much for this smaller row house to support.

7/11/2023 LPC: Approved with modification that the applicants work with LPC staff for review/approval of the final cladding color for the rooftop addition.

Please note: All LPC public hearings and public meetings are held at the Municipal Building, 1 Centre Street, 9th floor north, public hearing room (unless otherwise noted).
