Commission approves marquee lighting and west-façade updates at 134 Water Street
Summary
After a follow-up from last month, the commission approved canopies, marquee design and uplighting on the west façade of 134 Water Street. Commissioners emphasized preserving the historic character while allowing modern lighting solutions.
Representatives for 134 Water Street returned with revised drawings showing added canopies and a redesigned marquee. The applicants explained they selected uplighting guided by their architect to avoid internally illuminated signs and to better fit the historic district.
Commissioners reviewed options for illumination, concurred uplighting was preferable to backlit or gooseneck fixtures for the marquee, and approved the lighting, marquee, and west-façade redesign as presented. The approval was framed as section-by-section so any later issue on another façade would not stall unrelated parts of the project.
The commission did not record any further permit contingencies beyond the standard sign-permit processing and final drawing submissions.
