12/10/2019: At today’s public meeting, the Commission approved the revised application with the modification that the applicant use a more historic door at the front entry.
10/08/2019: At today’s public meeting, the Commission took no action on the revised application. The applicant was instructed to make changes and re-present at a future public meeting. The Commission felt that the rooftop addition was still too visible and modern and they felt that the applicant needs to create the suggestion of an entry at No. 319.
08/06/2019: At today’s public hearing, no action was taken on this application. The applicant was asked to make revisions to the application in accordance with the commissioners’ comments and present the revised application at a future public meeting. The commissioners’ comments were as follows:
Removal of entrance at No. 319: Commissioners Chapin, Holford-Smith, and Gustafsson disapproved of the removal of the entrance at No. 319. Commissioner Shamir-Baron did not take issue with this change, citing that combining multiple row houses into a single house is now a common trend in the Village.
Removal of tile cornice at No. 319: Commissioner Holford-Smith and Commissioner Chapin found the removal of the tile cornice at No. 319 inappropriate.
Windows at the rear of No. 319: Commissioners Gustafsson, Holford-Smith, and Shamir-Baron stated that the rear windows of No. 319 should retain their flat lintels. Commissioner Chapin did not take as much issue with their alteration.
Rooftop addition: Commissioners Holford-Smith, Shamir-Baron, and Gustaffson felt that the visibility of the rooftop addition was inappropriate. Commissioner Chapin agreed, and added that the removal of the extra height at No. 319 made the addition even more visible. Chair Carroll stated that if the rooftop addition could not be made less visible or invisible, it would be a highly problematic part of the proposal.
Chair Carroll also stated that the applicant should look more deeply at the relationship between the rear addition and the rear facade.
