Owner outlines roof repairs and private second‑floor renovation at 44 Spring Street
Summary
The applicant said the rear roof uses EPDM, has drainage issues and will be replaced as part of an internal second‑floor expansion; he indicated rear work is not visible from the public right‑of‑way and thus not part of the current concept review.
Applicant James Brown told the commission the building has a flat EPDM roof with a single drain that frequently clogs; he plans to expand the second floor over the rear portion of the garage and convert roof drainage to an internal system to avoid recurring runoff problems. Brown emphasized that the rear expansion and internal drainage work are not visible from the public right of way and were not the focus of this concept review.
Commissioners responded that the roof likely needs replacement and discussed how the unseen work relates to building stability and future permitting. Brown said he will address roof replacement and internal drainage in later filings. "The rest of the project is not really part of this review because it's not visible from the public," he said. The commission recorded this as information and did not vote.
