Dear Ms. Cooper:

By delegated authority of the Commission of Fine Arts, the staff is pleased to approve the final design submission from the D.C.

We appreciate your responsiveness to the Commission’s concerns about the location and height of the building’s glass tower element and we approve the configuration as shown in Alternate 1.

As always, the staff is available to assist you with future submissions.

Sincerely,
