Recommendation

:- This project has had three previous Certificate of Appropriateness approved and will revise these approvals: 9-B-09-DT, 2-C-10-DT, and 8-C-10-DT. This proposal is for a new exit that is dedicated to the basement level and for the transoms as they are built.
- The new exit door will be placed in the right side of the recessed main entry area (see partial floor plan, door #2; and see photo 1). The exit door will have a small window above it to match the detail above the main entry. All doors in the recessed main entry area will have the same design as shown in the partial elevation (see attached). The doors will be made of wood and have clear glass.
- The transoms on the storefront have been installed at the following widths, from left to right: 3 feet, 3 feet, 6 feet 6 inches, 2 feet 6.5 inches, and 2 feet 6.5 inches. The applicant is requesting that the transoms be approved as they are installed (see attached image labeled photo 2).
Property Notes / Work to be Completed
- The proposed exit is in response to the requirement from the fire marshall that a separate exit from the basement level must be installed. The location of this exit was determined by the property owner and in staffs opinion, the location is appropriate.
- Interior of the storefront in the new basement exit space there will be a door that accesses the main floor (see the attached partial floor plan, door #3). This door is proposed to be a one hour fire rated steel door. The board should consider if the steel door as proposed meets the intent of the guidelines to have storefronts that are transparent into the retail space.
