DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION #DR-14-04
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Besaw, LLC, hereinafter referred to as the applicant, is to amend a previously approved plan for
an 8,000 sq. ft. retail building and a 5,200 sq. ft. building used for indoor recreation use. The
amendment consists of: 1) after -the -fact approval to relocate a dumpster enclosure, and 2)
altering the southerly fagade of 358 Dorset Street, 358 Dorset Street & 55 San Remo Drive.
The Board held a public hearing on July 1, 2014. The applicant was represented by Annette
Besaw.
Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Board
finds, concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The project consists of amending a previously approved plan for an 8,000 sq. ft. retail
building and a 5,200 sq. ft. building used for indoor recreation use. The amendment
consists of: 1) after -the -fact approval to relocate a dumpster enclosure, and 2) altering
the southerly fagade of 358 Dorset Street, 358 Dorset Street & 55 San Remo Drive.
2. The owner of record of the subject property is Besaw, LLC.
3. The subject property is located in the CD-2 District and the Design Review Overlay
District 2.
4. The application was received on May 15, 2014.
5. The plan submitted consists of a five -page set of photos and drawings showing the
current fagade and proposed changes. They are not dated or signed.
6. There is one (1) change proposed to the site plan:
Relocated dumpster enclosure (after -the -fact): this is a reapplication of #SP-12-43
which was already approved back in 2012, with a new dumpster enclosure at the rear of
the parking lot in between the buildings, and screened with a stockade fence reused
from its former location. As noted, the DRB had already approved this back in 2012,
based on site plan C1.02, entitled Design Matters Parking, prepared by DeWolfe
Engineering Associates, dated December 9, 2010.
The Board finds this site plan application acceptable.
7. The design review change is:
- 1 -
#SP-14-20 & #DR-14-04
Proposed anew here is a design amendment, to cover up/wrap existing concrete and steel
support pillars in front of the building with square and rectangular "azek on stucco"
materials.
Based on the drawings submitted, the Board finds that the proposed change is consistent
with the applicable regulations and that this a real improvement over the existing
'sonotube wrap' bare concrete and steel 1-beams and certainly better befitting a visible
building on a busy public street housing a design studio.
