Previous ARC Recommendations:

07/23/24: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review.  The ARC stated that the overall height of the building was out of proportion with the context.  The foundation should be lowered to the BFE requirement of 3’ and the floor-to-ceiling heights of the first and second floors should be lowered.  As proposed, the gallery posts are too thin and tall; the ARC recommended removing the posts and cantilevering the balcony.  The ARC felt that the previous proposal was more successful in the contemporary nature of the building and stated that the openings, especially at the front façade, should be simplified and do not need to reference historic fenestrations. It was also suggested that you not try to so closely emulate traditional building typology as this is a commercial building and not a residence or fishing camp. This is a great opportunity to create something original.

06/18/24: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review.  The ARC requested larger versions of the building elevations for easier detail review.  The ARC stated that the proposed roof massing was conflicting with the contemporary nature of the building and recommended a low slope single-pitch roofline. The ARC also stated that the roof deck stepping should be simplified, and that the exterior stair was inappropriate.  The stair should be internalized to meet the Guidelines.
