Commission approves Manatees (Spring Street) exterior modifications to meet egress code
Summary
Owners of the Manatees building proposed modifications to the south (southwest) wing to provide operable windows and exit doors to meet fire-code egress requirements. Commissioners reviewed the revised window and door locations and approved the submitted modifications.
The applicant explained that windows in a previously approved plan lacked required egress (operable) features. The revised proposal relocates and replaces windows on the northwest/south wing and adds exit doors so that each room has a compliant means of egress.
Commissioners reviewed the plans and asked clarifying questions about materials and replication of historic details. After discussion, a motion to approve the modifications as submitted carried by voice vote; commissioners noted that the work replicates existing fenestration details where feasible and that the changes are primarily to meet building-safety code.
