2 5 25 WO PB Draft Minutes

8 order to improve the building and help with the development of the structure. • They are updating the overall look. They are going to be adding some stone, some wood paneling, and will be working on the structure. • The main infrastructure is a steel frame and they would be building the third story out of wood; they would add sprinklers to meet the requirements of the code. • They are within the setback to the side yard from a fire rating standpoint. They exceed the 5 feet minimum for a lot of the fire rating requirements of the exterior walls. • From a general design standpoint, they are working with the footprint that they were given to best accentuate the building. • On the side, they are mimicking the second floor and extending the upper level. • The other side of the building, they are keeping it clean and a little bit more contemporary looking to update the overall look from the dated 1960s look that it had. • They are adding about 12 feet to the building. • The proposed façade is consistent with the neighboring properties and recent construction in the area. • On the first floor, they are reusing the existing staircase and reusing the existing shell, including the structure. • On one side of the area, it would be Maurice’s’ tenant’s space to themselves and they proposed a second office space on the other side. This way everyone has a decent amount of office space. • They are adding a lift in the front in which the engineer will go more into for accessibility. • The second floor is within the existing shell, reusing the existing staircase. • They have an efficiency unit on one side about 600 square feet. • They are adding a 2 bedroom on the other side at about 1034 square feet. • They are adding another 2 bedrooms in the rear at 1100 square feet. • On the third floor, they will have 4 units. • They have an efficiency on the right, another efficiency on the bottom left, and two one bedroom. • With the intent of adding these units, it would really help the probability of the project and allow Maurice to be able to do the work that would be needed to be done on the building to help improve it. • The third floor does add necessary value to the building and it would be a big improvement to the neighborhood.
