RE:Application to Amend #SP-22-050
112 Garden Street
The application to amend the prior site plan approval for the multi-use building under construction at
112 Garden Street is to incorporate the following modifications to the previously approved plans:
Site related modifications
-Install a 6 feet high fence around the play area located at the south end of the building. A 4 feet
high fence was previously approved. This change was at the request of the day care operator.
-Access to the proposed day care space from the rear parking lot (south façade) has been
modified, providing dedicated access that is separate from residents using the stairwell. Minor
changes to siding treatments have been proposed to highlight the proposed day care entry. This
change to building access has also required adjusting the proposed plantings between the
perimeter sidewalk and building.
Garden Street façade modifications
-Eliminate the sun shades on the Garden Street façade over the windows on the fourth level.
The sun shades on the west façade will also be eliminated. Originally included to meet the
cornice requirement (which has now been met with the approved cornice detail), the architect
advised that these elevations would appear too busy with this additional architectural detail.
-The layout and configuration of doors at the northwest corner of the building has been
modified. The proposed door locations continue to provide access to the common interior
hallway from Garden Street, as well as access to the terrace from the common hallway and
commercial space.
Un-regulated façade modifications
-Eliminate the balconies on the west façade on the fourth level. Also eliminate the balconies on
the west façade on the third level, overlooking the terrace.
-Eliminate the ‘Juliet balconies’ on the south and east rear facades.
-On the south and east rear facades, change Cemfort Cement Board Panels Wood Grain Finish to
Hardy Cement Board Panels painted tan.
-Delete the horizontal elements of the non-illuminated tower located at the northwest corner of
the building. The appearance of the tower without the horizontal elements achieves the
intended visual purpose.
-Awnings above the first level windows overlooking the terrace will be eliminated at this time.
The tenant for the commercial space adjacent to the terrace has yet to be determined. The
future tenant may seek approval for signage on the awnings, or to utilize a different window
treatment based on the use, interior layout, and hours of operation.
