Presentation and review of a Certificate of Appropriateness application submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for rooftop bulkhead addition, reconstruction of rear extension at first 2 stories and new addition at 3rd story, and lower window sills at parlor and garden levels at front facade at 14 Tompkins Place (between Kane/Degraw Streets), Cobble Hill Historic District.
Most of the communities and adjacent residents were appreciative of the proposed rehabilitation of 14 Tompkins Place, with the exception of the addition of the 3rd story to the extension and the additional 8 feet depth to the entire extension.
A resident of Tompkins Place brought up the fact that the Cobble Hill Association has never supported any 3rd floor extensions in the past.
A motion was made by Jerry Armer and seconded by Madelaine Murphy to recommend conditional approval as follows:
Extension; reduced in size to 2 stories, not 3 stories
VOTE: 4…..YEAS 6…..NAYS 0…..ABSTENTIONS
MOTION FAILED
A second motion was made by Jerry Armer and seconded by Madelaine Murphy to recommend conditional approval as follows:
Front façade, areaway, and 3 story extension approved as presented.
Conditions: 1. Balusters for the rails and handrails; should be vertical and more in keeping with the Landmark area.
2. Roof bulkhead; be reduced in size, so it is not visible from Kane Street.
VOTE: 8…..YEAS 1…..NAYS 1…..ABSTENTION
MOTION PASSED
A third motion was made by Madelaine Murphy and seconded by Mark Shames. Recommend that the Landmarks Preservation Committee hold open the record until the full Board votes on the Committee’s recommendations.
MOTION APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY
