Loading...
Summary
After questions about terrace railing details and elevator overrun, the commission approved the 312 West Cortland Place application with staff stipulations; applicant said railings will be detailed and a hydraulic elevator is planned to avoid an overrun.
Ronald Echols of Texas Architecture Workshop presented preliminary drawings for 312 West Cortland Place, describing a terrace set back from the existing parapet and a plan to provide railing details once paving materials are selected. He said the team expects to use a hydraulic elevator unit so equipment can be located below the stairs and avoid an overrun above the ridge.
Commissioners asked for supplemental railing details, profiles and installation information; Echols offered to provide a supplemental detail and noted the team had prepared preliminary drawings for high-level review. The commission moved to accept the request with staff stipulations; roll-call voting recorded unanimous approval.
