ROLL CALL A quorum was present. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Mr. Milligan came forwards to speak. He stated that, as the largest property owner in the Wall Street area he had good opinions of the ongoing POKO 2.0 projects and desired to see them finished. He stated that he did not like it when connected/favored people had different rules. He stated that he was upset that special exceptions had been made and rules bent for the project. He stated that the special exceptions would forever cement the project’s legacy as being the largest building in the area. He pointed out the project is looking to be approved for six stories tall. He claimed that the building that was there was compromised and will almost definitely be removed so the project will be starting from scratch from the concrete decking. He said there is nothing to grandfather and this doesn’t follow the grandfather clause section of the regulations. He pointed out that the current zoning regulations for the area call for a maximum height of four stories. He said it still does meet with the design keeping and design standards. He said his concern with the project is deeper than design standards. He said he thought the third-party architect had a lot of good things to say, the overall aesthetic is okay, it’s the height he has an issue with in combination with the fact that it is over the top of an easement and they don’t have enough parking. He said the redevelopment plan that this was developed under expired and or was replaced. He believed that, due to ongoing litigation, that the project won’t be moving forward and there were no tax credits to be obtained currently.

He said this is the next step in the process that was discussed at the last meeting regarding a CDBG loan to The Maritime Center. He stated that the application for the loan will be for a $500,000 assistance package. The total amount is $500,000 of assistance and the way it is split is $200,000 is a grant from the CDBG Coronavirus funds provided by the federal government. The other $300,000 will come in the form of a loan and is what is being discussed at this meeting. He indicated this loan has already been considered and approved by the Planning Committee and the Common Council in terms of the overall assistance package. The loan would be a 3-year loan with 0% interest funded by repurposed Walk Bridge Mitigation funds.The funds would be expended under a 3 year loan agreement with 1 year forbearance period so they can get caught up as a result of the pandemic. Mr. Bidolli said the Maritime Center would be required to pay $150,000 within 24 months and another $150,000 in the third year. Mr. Bidolli introduced Marc Grenier to add more about how the loan details. Mr. Grenier shared that after discussions with Brian and his team they came up with the possibility of giving the loan as a line of credit as opposed to giving an up-front sum of $300,000. They would go through an approval process internally with Brian and his team in accordance with CDBG guidelines. With a line of credit facility there is the ability to put in a request and then advance the funds subject to the request being supported with documentation. Assuming they would draw the total amount down, Mr. Grenier said the repayment terms would be at the 24 month level 50% or whatever the outstanding principal City of Norwalk Norwalk Redevelopment Agency Special Meeting January 5, 2021 Page 2 of 5 balance was at that time which, if they drew the whole $300,000, would be $150,000 and then the entire balance due 36 months after closing. He said he has already started drafting up the agreement, and tonight the Board was there to approve the business terms for The Maritime Center subject to agency council review. Chairman Igneri first gave the Board members a chance to ask questions and then asked that, if they went with the line of credit and drew the money down, would they need the approval of the commissioners to advance the money. Mr. Grenier said they would not, and that in the loan document it would state that as part of the process they would have to submit to the Agency all their requests and supporting documents. He said Brian and or staff will review what is submitted and if everything is okay then it moves along. Mr. Bidolli added they would be adhering to the terms of the CDBG program and we would be following a similar procedure in terms of allowable expenditures. He said they wanted to be sure it was a reimbursable process so they had some oversight. Mr. Westmoreland asked what would happen if the Maritime Center was unable to meet the repayment dates, and if the Board have the right to renegotiate the terms. Mr. Grenier said that according to the loan documents it would be a default. He said he would expect them to reach out to Brian and the issue would be brought to the Board which would then discuss a forbearance and or loan modification regarding loan repayment. Mr. Westmoreland then asked if Board had the right to do this considering it involves CDBG funds and Mr. Grenier said the five Commissioners can make these decisions.

Then they filed the balance of their zoning applications on August 27th. He said before they filed site plans, JHM hosted a Zoom meeting City of Norwalk Norwalk Redevelopment Agency Special Meeting January 5, 2021 Page 3 of 5 with neighbors and obtained input from them. He said they met with the Planning Commission and Zoning Commission in September. He said they opened hearing with Zoning in late October and continued until the end of December. He said they only changes since July 2020 are the articulation of the building and design enhancements. Michael Weissbrod came forward to speak.

Robert Grzywacz came forward to speak. Mr. Grzywacz, the architect who wrote the peer review for the City. He presented design choices for the agency to decide on and made a recommendation to remove a few parking spaces at the entryway. Chairman Igneri stated he was happy with the design changes and work that had been accomplished, and preferred the applicant’s transparency option. He stated that the plan was much improved over what had been presented prior. Mr. Westmoreland questioned if there were five habitable stories in the front of the building and six in the rear. This was confirmed after a pictorial review of the sightlines. Further discussion on the various details and improvement of the designs in the project followed.

Cordially, Joseph Tamburro President  Attachment A: Mathews Park Master Site Plan  Approach  Scope of Work Mathews Park Master Site Plan Approach Heritage Landscapes Team, a collaboration with Aris Stalis, PLA, of Aris Land Studio and Bruce Mawhirter, PE, LEED AP, and Veera Karukonda, PE, Lead Traffic Engineer, of M& J Engineers, will approach the Mathews Park Master plan project from three viewpoints, historic, contemporary, and future, to address the evolution and ongoing vibrancy of this public park landscape and its facilities. Heritage Landscapes is focused on the vitality and ongoing stewardship of heritage places and Mathews Park, the former Lockwood-Mathews 26.4-acre property, is a few short blocks away from our 34 Wall Street, Norwalk office. We are familiar with the park and are excited to have the opportunity to study it in detail and prepare planning recommendations for a more vibrant future for this community treasure. Over the decades, the private estate became an 18-acre public park and site of a vibrant group of museums and community gathering places, as well as an open landscape to enjoy. With the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum as a centerpiece, the park hosts one of the earliest and most significant Second Empire Style houses in the country with National Landmark status. Today the landscape around the Mansion fails to add value in terms of historic character and features as a setting for the former estate buildings. This site planning project can reverse this absence and celebrate the valuable landscape through the recapture of historic character, while also addressing current issues throughout the park. With this project the Heritage Landscapes Team will affirm the significance of Mathews Park for the Norwalk community and enhance its uses and functions. Heritage Landscapes, Norwalk CT, Charlotte VT ◾ November 20, 2020 ◾ Page 1  Mathews Park Master Site Plan  Attachment A Our team will align our efforts to the planning goals for this evolved public landscape. These goals provide a comprehensive framework for this work, to include:  Reimagine the Historic Site- to understand and relate past, present, and future uses – The foundation of this planning work, gaining a thorough understanding of site evolution, landscape today, current uses, and analyzing connectivity and other relevant issues, will serve as the starting point for reimagining the future vectors and bringing forward actionable recommendations that uplift the park visitor experience.  Enhance the beauty and utility of the site through landscaping, and other site planning strategies that improve the historic context for the site’s historic buildings – Heritage Landscapes is uniquely suited to enhance Mathews Park beauty and functionality thoroughly and appropriately, based on a body of knowledge assembled in this work to include historic site evolution, uses, tenant and stakeholder inputs, and community desires in a well-balanced, inclusive manner in the plan recommendations.  Improve connections into and out of park on all sides. Improve multimodal transportation access to, through and around the site – Attention to multi-modal circulation within and adjacent to Mathews Park will include addressing trails, sidewalks, crosswalks, vehicle routes, and parking, with special focus on connectivity among landscape and destinations within the park. For example, we will study connections to the adjacent Waypoint, Stepping Stones Museum, and new Pinnacle project (s)underway to link the park at West Avenue, Butler Street, Crescent Street and under I-95 to Oyster Shell Park. The segment of the Norwalk River Valley Trail within the park and its internal connections is another aspect to address. Working with professionals from M& J Engineering PC, the team will integrate multi-modal access and traffic considerations from nearby as well as within Mathews Park.  Provide pedestrian access from the mid-block Waypointe and Pinnacle development sites to a “gateway” entry to Mathews Park from Butler Street – As part of the circulation system efforts, we will study opportunity to strengthen the historic frontage of the Lockwood Mathews estate along West Avenue and provide notable entrances to Mathews Park via Butler Street.  Provide multimodal streetscape and roadway improvements to West Avenue – A review of previous West Avenue connectivity plans will be undertaken, and recommendations for West Avenue, particularly along the frontage of Mathews Park will be prepared to build upon prior work.  Determine guidelines for quality activities, events, and other programmatic uses of the Park – By gathering information on current uses form tenants and stakeholders, this team will assess event types and capacities with a sustainable park landscape in mind. Guidance recommendations will identify for appropriate activities and capacities that can support social engagement while limiting environmental impacts and historic landscape degradation.  Encourage ways for the City’s businesses to benefit from the over 500,000 annual visitors Heritage Landscapes, Norwalk CT, Charlotte VT ◾ Page 2  Mathews Park Master Site Plan  Attachment A per year to the park’s existing institutions – While parks are not considered economic generators themselves, the activities and destinations within them and the adjacent and nearby businesses often reap benefits as park users engage within and around the park. Having the park function well and be clearly and safely connected to the surroundings encourages longer park visits and flows over into nearby purchasing. Taken together, the goals, initial and secondary questions and the requested tasks will yield a well-crafted, effective, plan resulting from this collaborative, inclusive work by the Heritage Landscapes Team. Heritage Landscapes Work Scope Tasks and Deliverables 1 Research, Base Mapping, Observations, Interviews, Work Session, Community Listening Session The following subtasks will be undertaken in Task 1: 1a Hold Project Start-up Virtual Meeting 1b Research Park History and Evolution 1c Prepare Park and Adjacent Area Base Map Heritage Landscapes, Norwalk CT, Charlotte VT ◾ Page 3  Mathews Park Master Site Plan  Attachment A 1d Review Relevant Plans, Studies and Regulations 1e Observe Park Uses and Record Observations 1f Conduct Tenant Telephone/Video Conference Interviews, Gain Input 1g Prepare and Submit Report on Tasks 1a – 1f Findings and Products 1h Hold MPOC Work Session and Community Listening Session 1a Hold Project Start-up Virtual Meeting Heritage Landscapes will schedule an online start-up meeting with the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency.

We will carry out an analysis of the 1876 Davies Survey and the collection of historic photographs of the property in the museum archives. This effort will include collecting and studying the historical maps and aerial photographs of the property from the 1870s to the present. This assessment will reveal the character of the landscape to form a foundation for recommendations about the character and features of the landscape. These future directions will include attention to historic features of the landscape, historic landscape details, paths, plantings, and small-scale elements and objects that can shape a recognizable landscape character, improving the historic setting of the Mansion and its associated historic buildings. 1c Prepare Park and Adjacent Area Base Map Obtain available recent surveys, mapping, digital files, partial AutoCAD survey and aerials to create a Master Plan base drawing. Using this base mapping, Heritage Landscapes staff will undertake fieldwork to prepare a current park base map. The composite base map will be used for planning proposes undertaken as part of this Master Planning process. While Heritage Landscapes is in the park to conduct field work, we will informally observe park uses that will inform the approach to observing uses more formally in tasks 1e. 1d Review Relevant Plans, Studies and Regulations Obtain and review relevant plans and studies of West Avenue, city-wide as they affect planning for Mathews Park to gain an understating of how the goals and objectives of these earlier studies may affect the site master planning recommendations. Exiting rules and regulations affecting Mathews Park will be reviewed and modifications recommended as appropriate to improve park user and visitor experience. Heritage Landscapes, Norwalk CT, Charlotte VT ◾ Page 4  Mathews Park Master Site Plan  Attachment A 1e Observe Park Uses and Record Observations Heritage Landscapes staff will spend time observing park activities to learn more about uses and the interactions between the users within the park.

Igneri COMMISSIONERS Kelly Bloom Lisa M. Cooper William R. Speirs David G. Westmoreland EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Brian T. Bidolli Memo regarding 3rd Party Façade Improvement Design Review for 637 West Avenue February 5, 2021 Norwalk Redevelopment Agency 3 Belden Avenue Norwalk, CT 06850 Dear Norwalk Redevelopment Agency Chairman and Commissioners, 637 West Avenue is a 1.12-acre property at the corner of West Avenue and Chapel Street in the Wall-West Neighborhood of Norwalk. The Norwalk Union Trust Bank built a 25,000 two-story brick commercial office building on the site in 1955. The building is designed in a colonial revival style with a prominent columned pediment modeled off 41 North Main Street, the former Norwalk City Hall built in 1912. Most recently, 637 West Avenue was occupied by a tenant bank branch office. 637 West Avenue is listed on the local Norwalk Historic Resources Inventory List. The current owner is renovating the existing building in order to make is usable for a medical office use. The project requires 3rd Party Façade Improvement Design Review in order to determine if the following façade improvements comply with the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency’s Wall-West Neighborhood Design Guidelines:  New exterior lighting, site paving, and canopies;  Enclosure of the front entrance in a two-story glass atrium;  Removal of a drive-thru window and rebuilding of the window opening and brick wall;  Installation of new doors and windows throughout; and  Creation of a new rooftop mechanical structure. Andriopoulos Design Associates has been selected as the 3rd Party Design Reviewer to comment on the compliance of these proposed Façade Improvement with the Wall-West Neighborhood Design Guidelines. ADA recommends that the Commission approve the design review as compliant with the Wall-West Design Guidelines pending satisfactory reconciliation of any concerns of the Commission (please see attachments for ADA’s commentary). Brian Bidolli Executive Director 3 BELDEN AVENUE, NORWALK, CT 06850 • (203) 854‐7810 • WWW.NORWALKREDEVELOPMENTAGENCY.ORG  November 24, 2020 Brian Bidolli, Executive Director Norwalk Redevelopment Agency City of Norwalk 3 Belden Avenue Norwalk, CT 06850 RE: Application for Zoning Approval & Zoning Compliance Applicant: Waypointe Partners LLC (c/o Seligson Properties) Parcels: 637 West Avenue and 6 & 10 Chapel Street, Norwalk, CT Dear Mr. Bidolli, We are submitting the enclosed package to the Redevelopment Agency for administrative review and approval in conjunction with a Zoning Permit application being filed for administrative review and approval concerning work at parcels 637 West Avenue and 6 & 10 Chapel Street. The application, submitted on behalf of our client and current owner of the parcels, Waypointe Partners LLC, is for tenant fit up activities and exterior building modifications to the existing building at 637 West Avenue, as well as a parking lot reconfiguration across 6 and 10 Chapel Street. As the property fronts on West Avenue and is located within the West Avenue Redevelopment Plan Area, the modifications to the aesthetics of the building and site must be found by the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency to be consistent with their guidelines prior to the issuance of a Zoning Permit. The existing building has historically been used for office uses, including medical office use and bank offices. The building is about 25,000 square feet with usable floor area in the basement, on the first floor, on a first-floor mezzanine, and on the second floor. It was occupied by a bank from its construction in 1955 through the 2000’s. Currently, Neurology Associates of Norwalk occupies about 4,000 square feet of the second floor as medical office and Wells Fargo occupies about 8,500 square feet between the first floor and the basement. The owner is proposing to lease space in the existing building to a tenant that would use most (about 90%) of the building for medical offices and the bank would remain in a reduced space (about 10%) of the building. Exterior modifications include aesthetic modifications to the exterior windows, enclosing the existing front covered entryway, upgraded rooftop mechanical systems, an entry canopy at the rear entrances of the building, and a reconfigured parking area to accommodate the increase in required parking. Refer to the Architectural for the exterior modifications to the building and to the Site Planting and Lighting Plan for proposed site landscaping.  Two (2) copies, Architectural and Structural Plans, prepared and certified by Pustola & Associates Consulting Engineers, LLC, dated November 24, 2020; 22 First Street | Stamford, CT 06905 | Tel: 203.327.0500 | Fax: 203.357.1118 | www.rednissmead.com Brian Bidolli November 24, 2020 Page 2 of 2  Two (2) copies, Site Planting and Lighting Plan, prepared and certified by Eric Rains Landscape Architecture, dated November 24, 2020  Two (2) copies, Property & Topographic Survey, prepared and certified by Ryan and Faulds, dated November 24, 2020;  Two (2) copies, Site Civil Engineering Plans, prepared and certified by Redniss & Mead, Inc., dated November 24, 2020; Based on the above and attached, we trust you will find the application documents in conformance with the Wall Street - West Avenue Neighborhood Plan and look forward to your approval.

This was a common architectural treatment of bank buildings during the 20th century to symbolize the stature and security of the institutions. We were asked by Seligson Properties to prepare a design study of a new entry for a potential medical tenant that was interested in rebranding the building to reflect their 21st century image. In response to that request, we directed a professional renderer to develop the attached drawing. The design is characterized by simple clean lines that presents a fresh image to the street and maintains the building’s overall substance and prominence. The new entry dramatically increases the transparency of building façade as recommended in the design guidelines. The adaptive reuse of the existing building maintains the historic scale of the building with a gracious front yard. The recycling of the existing building is a far more sensitive and sustainable approach than the alternative approach of demolishing the existing building and replacing it with a much larger building on the site. We believe that the proposed exterior design comports with the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency’s vision for the Wall Street and West Avenue neighborhoods for “A healthy and vibrant Urban Core Neighborhood with a strong economy driven by innovation and collaboration that is accessible, authentic, lively and affordable for residents and businesses.” Allowing the existing building to be re- used, but modernized, respects the existing building and makes sure it will be a part of the streetscape for years to come.

The project has met the intent of the design regulations, as outlined in the Wall Street- West Avenue Neighborhood Plan, Design Guidelines for Neighborhood Improvements. Specifically the Site Design and Building/ Architectural Design Specifications. This area of West Avenue is characterized as a commercial corridor. When reviewing the Site/Civil drawings prepared by Redniss & Mead, dated 11/24/20, the design intends to replace the apron of the one-way existing driveway (directly off of West Ave.) with new painted directional arrow, along with the revised parking layout will improve vehicular traffic flow on the site. The design is eliminating the ATM drive- thru and curb cut, decreasing the curb-cuts to 2, on Chapel Street. When reviewing the Landscaping drawings prepared by Eric Rains, L.S. dated 11/24/20, they intend to add ample amounts of new trees, shrubs and new site lighting to the existing re-configured site. Which will be reduce the heat infiltration in the parking lot and improve the visual appearance of the parking area. When reviewing the Architectural drawings provided by Pustola Associates, Consulting Engineers, dated 11/24/20 (revised 1/26/21). The west (Front Facade) Elevation the developer has chosen to replace the vintage 2 story tall "Greek Revival" Open/ Entry Portico with a new 2-story enclosed aluminum and glass entry vestibule with flat roof line. This vestibule addition and window frame changes (on the entire building) will create a new look at the street level facing West Ave., and Chapel St. The East (rear facing) elevation is generally unchanged with the exception of new/entry door location, window/frame color changes and new flat roof canopy to provide shelter to the entries. Our suggestions for Redevelopment Agency approval are as follows: 1.) Site Lighting Plans need clarification of direction, function and attachment of the proposed perimeter lighting fixture on building, Dwg. SPL-2.0, Lighting Type: BL-1. 2) Architectural Dwg. A2.00 requires clarification regarding the new equipment height on roof top and corresponding minimum height required of proposed aluminum wall panel (screening). The proposed wall panel should not exceed the height of the existing brick utility structure. The open bottom of the wall panel should be no higher than the top of the existing parapet. 3) Architectural Dwg. A2.00, We would encourage the applicant to reduce the roof top "screen" fencing in length equally by approx. +/- 6'-0" (from the left and right), as will be seen in the West (Front facing-West Avenue) elevation. 4.) Architectural Roof Plan, requires clarification of the dimensions of the metal wall panel "screen" from the roof top edge. 5.) Architectural Dwg. A2.00 requires clarification of proposed new 2-story aluminum glass entry enclosure relating to the clear glass and spandrel glass composition. As shown, it is unclear as to the amount of transparency that will be provided in the new vestibule enclosure. It is my opinion that this application for Site Parking Lot changes, landscaping, pedestrian accessibility improvements, fenestration improvements and new Front & rear Facade Entry improvements are in keeping with the design guidelines as defined in the Wall Street-West Avenue Neighborhood Plan. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office. Thank you, William N. Andriopoulos, R.A./AIA Andriopoulos Design Associates, LLC WNA/mg cc: V.

Andriopoulos regarding the existing building at the above referenced address. These responses are specifically for the comments listed below regarding Pustola & Associates drawings. C. Removals plans, Structural Plans Architectural Plan, prepared by Pustola Eng.: Comment 1) On Dwg. D1.04 or S1.05, please provide all "new proposed" and "existing to remain" roof top equipment locations as accurately as possible, including the approx. heights of to the top of the equipment from the roof deck, for review. Response: The revised drawings attached to this letter now contain this information. Comment 2a) Dwg. A2.00: Please provide photo imagery of similar glass enclosure system (as built elsewhere) from the specific manufacture with frame and glass finish sample, for review/ the record. Response: Photos will be included with this submission. Physical samples are being prepared for presentation. Comment 2b) Please provide clarification of where spandrel panels are located along with sample of spandrel color/ glazing for the record. Response: The revised drawings contain this dimensional information, and physical samples are being prepared for presentation. Comment 2c) Please confirm orientation of North Elevation. Response: The revised drawings clarify the elevation directions Comment 2d) Metal wall panel "screen" at roof. Concern with the proposed height of screen wall and proximity to roof edge. (Zoning requires equipment/ screen panels to be 10ft back from the roof edge.) Suggestion to development team to consider lowering the top of the screen panel to align with the existing height of the "dog house" with bottom of the screen panel align with existing top of cornice/ parapet. This will decrease any (visual) negative impact of screen wall significantly. Response: The location and elevation of the screens has been adjusted as requested, see the revised drawings. Comment 2e.) Please provide sample of "Charcoal grey color", for review. Response: Physical samples are being prepared for presentation. 1|Page Comment 3) Dwg. A2.01: Please confirm orientation of South Elevation. Response: The revised drawings clarify the elevation directions Comment 4) Dwg. S3.00 "Brace Frame" - Will the "X" bracing be visible to the public from the exterior view? Response: Currently the X bracing will be visible from the exterior.

Below are responses to each point. A.1 – BL1 is a continuous up light around the perimeter. For clarity, the “cornice” means the band that wraps the upper building all the way around. This low output fixture would be wall mounted above that and illuminate the upper few feet of the building. We are requesting approval of this lighting affect with the understanding that it may be installed at some point in the future beyond the completion of this initial renovation. We ask that we have the latitude to install it as part of a future effort should the building ownership team decide it is necessary to wait. A.1a – See comment above and refer to the revised Architectural drawings prepared by Pustola & Associates and also the attached mounting detail. A.1b – Fixture BL1 can be placed on a timer. A.1c – Regarding public art, the team feels that the building modifications are in effect an artistic statement. The steeple / bell tower as part of the church architecture (across Chapel Street) is very attractive and visually dominant, thus additional accent pieces would be lost. In addition to these comments, we would like to point out that we are revisiting the “Site Lighting”. The goal is to provide the necessary lighting levels with more efficiency resulting in fewer fixtures. A revised photometric analysis is underway. Please contact our office with any questions regarding this matter. Best Regards, C.

My review comments are in accordance with the guiding criteria, as outlined in the Redevelopment Agency, Wall Street- West Avenue Neighborhood Plan and the Design Guidelines. We have received the developers revised drawings supplied to our office 1/27/21 and narrative from Bruce Beinfield dated 1/26/21. Below please find my review questions and comments for this project: A. Site planting and Site Lighting drawings, prepared by Eric Rains, L.A.: Question 1.) Does perimeter lighting fixture BL1 (callout at the perimeter at cornice) provide a continuous up lighting affect? Comment 1a) Dwg. SPL-2.0 : No architectural detail is sown as to how this lighting fixture BL1, is attached to the cornice. Comment 1b) Dwg. SL-1: No data is provided for the perimeter cornice lighting. Will this fixture be on a timer? Comment 1c) Suggestion to the development team. As this site is located on the prominent corner of West Avenue an Chapel Street, please consider including some form of public art (i.e., sculptural art pieces for the lawn area, etc) at the exterior or in the front lobby. Please contact the Norwalk Arts Commission to collaborate for art ideas and artist availability. B. Site/ Civil engineering plans, prepared by Redness and Mead: We have no comment for drawings SE-1 thru SE-4 at this time. C. Removals plans, Structural Plans Architectural Plan, prepared by Pustola Eng.: Comment 1) On Dwg. D1.04 or S1.05, please provide all "new proposed" and "existing to remain" roof top equipment locations as accurately as possible, including the approx. heights of to the top of the equipment from the roof deck, for review. Comment 2a) Dwg. A2.00: Please provide photo imagery of similar glass enclosure system (as built elsewhere) from the specific manufacture with frame and glass finish sample, for review/ the record. Comment 2b) Please provide clarification of where spandrel panels are located along with sample of spandrel color/ glazing for the record. Comment 2c) Please confirm orientation of North Elevation. Comment 2d) Metal wall panel "screen" at roof. Concern with the proposed height of screen wall and proximity to roof edge. (Zoning requires equipment/ screen panels to be 10ft back from the roof edge.) Suggestion to development team to consider lowering the top of the screen panel to align with the existing height of the "dog house" with bottom of the screen panel align with existing top of cornice/ parapet. This will decrease any (visual) negative impact of screen wall significantly. Comment 2e.) Please provide sample of "Charcoal grey color", for review. Comment 3) Dwg. A2.01: Please confirm orientation of South Elevation. Comment 4) Dwg. S3.00 "Brace Frame" - Will the "X" bracing be visible to the public from the exterior view? Suggestion: Have you considered any sustainable and green infrastructure initiatives for this rehabilitation project. Perhaps infrastructure could include a greenwall design in certain areas including the new front entry portico enclosure. The above comments are provided for our initial review. Once our office has received the additional information/ revised drawings, if any, I will review this information and can then make our recommendation for approval and submit my final report to your office.
