Summary

The commission approved a revised new-construction proposal at 99 2nd Street after the applicant reduced dormer counts and agreed to shingle-clad cheek walls with painted mahogany trim on dormers.

The applicant for 99 2nd Street returned with updated streetscape drawings and a site plan showing a modest shift of the footprint. Architect Mark Fontaine reviewed changes requested at prior hearings: removal of two dormers, reorganization of fenestration and a two-foot setback adjustment. Commissioners pushed for fewer dormers and non-Azek shingle cladding with painted mahogany trim on dormer cheek walls; the applicant agreed to revise accordingly.

Chair moved to approve the application with the conditional changes: front west elevation two single dormers, north elevation two single dormers, east elevation one dormer, south elevation two single dormers, all dormers to have shingle cladding and painted mahogany trim. The commission voted in favor and the motion carried.
