Board approves multiple routine applications including signage, roof, masonry and denies a post‑work railing change
Summary
The DRB approved a consent sign at 131 Excelsior, approved mechanical/signage at 23 Division Street with conditions, approved a full roof replacement at 135 Maple Ave, approved masonry restoration at 489 Broadway (concrete ledge), and denied a post‑work vinyl railing at 38 Caroline Street.
The board moved through several routine agenda items and recorded multiple administrative decisions.
On the consent agenda the board approved an unlit canopy sign at 131 Excelsior Avenue without comment. The board considered 23 Division Street (mechanical equipment and wall signage) and instructed the applicant to use backlit or halo letters, place mounting hardware in mortar joints, and avoid covering keystone details; Mr. Wood moved to approve the plans with these conditions. The board approved a proposed roof replacement at 135 Maple Avenue, accepting GAF architectural shingles as appropriate for the arterial gateway location and asking the contractor to submit product cut sheets and photos for the file. At 489 Broadway, the owner presented masonry repairs; the board directed the ledge be repaired with original concrete rather than broken stone. Finally, a post‑work modification for the Wild Horse (38 Caroline Street) was denied because the applicant installed an unapproved vinyl railing rather than the previously approved black aluminum railing.
Each approval included conditions or follow‑up materials to be submitted to DRB staff for the record.
