Staff notes the proposed building signage is not part of this application.
b) Staff notes the building was constructed in 1893; however is not located within the Historic District or a designated individual landmark.
c) Section IV-4 (e)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states that wings usually have a simple composition that is dependent on the main body. Question proposed bump out glazing system at west and south side elevation and how it relates to the main mass. Suggest the use of more traditional exterior materials to be more compatible with the main body.
d) Question proposed wall material at west-side elevation bump out.
e) Section IV-4 (g)(1) of the Architectural Design Standards states that roofs on projections should match the roof material of the building (unless both roofs are flat) and to the extent possible, shall be the same kind of roof. Natural finish metals such as copper, terne coated steel, or lead may be substituted for any roofing material. Staff notes a metal roofing material is proposed.
