Description
Addition of second floor, alterations to storefront and sign
Review Type
revised design-Concept

Recommendation

Recommend AGAINST concept of addition of second floor to a one-story contributing historic building. Addition, as proposed, is too close to front parapet of building and too high to be subservient to original building. In addition, it offers access to a roof terrace behind the front parapet, which is inappropriate in the historic district. Alterations to storefront were approved in concept during previous review. See previous Recommendation (OG 03-110). File new submission of working drawings, including dimensions and details, with permit application for alterations to storefront and revised sign for review by the Commission when ready.
