Planning board flags as‑built departures at 364 Main Street; asks developer for comprehensive fixes
Summary
The board reviewed a 3‑D scan showing multiple as‑built differences from approved 364 Main Street plans — full brick where thin veneer was approved, removal of Juliet balconies, altered window heads and storefront materials, and rooftop mechanical placement — and directed the applicant to return with a holistic remediation plan rather than piecemeal changes.
The planning board spent considerable time reviewing a package the applicant submitted to formalize completed field changes and to request that some as‑built conditions be accepted. ADG Architects presented a 3‑D scan and side‑by‑side comparisons that showed several significant departures from the plans previously approved in 2022: full‑depth brick was installed where a thin veneer was specified; some arched window heads in the approved drawings were replaced by a flat soldier course; a number of Juliet balconies were removed and replaced with operable windows; and non‑approved storefront aluminum assemblies were used in place of the approved wood/aluminum mix.
Board members described the Main Street facade as "flat" and said the alterations materially change the building’s rhythm and relationship to the street. Members asked the applicant to address five primary non‑field‑change discrepancies and to prepare a comprehensive redesign or mitigation package that could restore the approved architectural intent where feasible. The board declared itself lead agency for SEQRA review of the amended application and asked staff to schedule a public hearing only after the applicant submits consolidated remediation options and drawings.
