Recommendation

The Commission regrets that replacement of storefront windows and doors at office building were initiated and waterproofing and brick work completed prior to review or permit. Supplemental drawings dated 19 July 2012 indicate scope of the proposed work is limited to replacement of storefront windows and doors facing the courtyard at the lower plaza ONLY. No waterproofing or brick work is proposed as part of this permit application. Submitted materials and a site visit of 17 July 2012 indicate that proposed work at courtyard will not be visible from public thoroughfare. Refer to the Historic Preservation Review Board. Proposed replacement of storefront windows and doors on Canal side were not approved and were deleted from this permit application. Recommend retention of existing storefront windows with butt-joints. File new submission of detailed and dimensioned drawings for the replacement of the windows and doors with permit application for review by the Commission. Note: Any subsequent modifications to the exterior design made during DCRA technical review must be re-submitted to the Commission for confirmation of visibility prior to issuance of permit.
