Recommendation
The Commission regrets that work beyond the scope of the approved design was completed prior to review or permit (see case OG 08-201). No objection to issuance of permit for replacement roof structure, addition at basement level, French doors and window /door replacement as shown in supplemental drawings dated 17 March 2010 which indicate HVAC unit below stairs and low-profile (5 1/2-inch high) skylights. Rooftop mechanical equipment would be visible from public alley, was NOT approved, and was deleted from this permit application. Existing skylights must be lowered to manufacturer's specifications height no later than 31 May 2010. Note: Any subsequent modifications to the exterior design made during DCRA technical review must be re-submitted to the Commission for approval prior to issuance of permit.
