CB resolution recommends:
A. Approval of the modifications to the infill, the the security gates, the illuminated entry sign, the marquee and banner signs, and the security cameras; and
B. That, in view of the deficiency of the information presented about the marquee lighting, that the applicant return to a public hearing of the Community Board Landmarks Committee with details about the marquee lighting with precise specifications of the globes including size, wattage, lumens, and other information available from the manufacturer, a detailed layout of the system, and details of the proposed control system, so that the Landmarks Committee has the information required in order to evaluate the impact of the seemingly excessive lighting within the historic district.
