MOTION APPROVED
Presentation and review of a Certificate of Appropriateness application submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for the construction of a new roof deck and legalization of alterations to the parapet wall at 218-220 Baltic Street (between Court/Clinton Streets), Cobble Hill Historic District.
The applicant is requesting to legalize the parapet wall and construction of a new roof deck.
A motion was made by Roy Sloane and seconded by Bill Blum to layover the request because we don’t understand the past work – window to door? Stairway to deck? The applicant has also failed to notify neighbors.
A motion was made to approve the minutes of the last meeting held on January 24, 2013. Lou Sones had asked to be excused at last meeting. A motion was made by Bill Blum and seconded by Roger Rigolli to accept the minutes with Lou Sones being excused as a change.
There being no further business to come before the committee, Roger Rigolli made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
