10/11/2016: At today’s public meeting at the LPC this application was approved with the modification of the applicant working with staff in regards to the cornice. All of the commissioners agreed that the new proposal was a vast improvement over the original. Several of the commissioners had issue with the elimination of the stepped parapet at No. 89-93 and thought that the addition at that end of the building should be pushed back in order it be deferential to the original historic building. It was decided, however that the majority of the commissioners felt that the proposed design was appropriate. The approval was passed with two commissioners opposing due to the elimination of the parapet.
07/12/2016: At today’s public hearing the LPC took no action and asked the applicant to return at a future public meeting with a revised plan based on the commissioners’ comments. Comments were varied but in general the commission disputed the appropriateness of the towers within the context of the district and on Jane Street. Further, the applicant was asked to explore other options rather than the 40‚Ä≤ street wall in its current iteration as seen in the proposal.
