Description: Construction of a 2,000 SF roof-top addition at a Contributing rated, four-story, mixed-use building.
Previous ARC Recommendations:
04/18/23:
The HDLC guidelines for roof top additions should be reviewed and applied to the proposed addition. This setback could be accomplished through a combination of reducing the height and/or moving the addition.
Provide horizontal window and door protection through awnings at openings.
Expand upon the concept of transparency regarding the openings. This concept could include eliminating siding between openings.
Exploring other cladding options could assist in reducing the overall residential character of the addition.
02/14/23: The ARC granted conceptual approval of the proposed massing and location of the rooftop addition.
The ARC agreed that stylistically the addition should transition away from a traditional box with punched openings to a contemporary approach with the introduction of glass and other materials.
