Proposal

The applicant is requesting modifications to a previously approved Design Review Approval (DRB20-0529) for a new multistory addition to replace an existing one-story building and surface parking. Specifically, the modifications include changes to exterior surface finishes on the north façade and a portion of the east façade, as well as variances from height regulation exceptions to provide an outdoor wash counter and sink and a single enclosed restroom at the roof level. Both rooftop elements are proposed to exceed the maximum permitted building height by 36 inches.

From the Letter of Intent

Modification of previously approved plans for a comprehensive modernization program of the Lehrman Community Day School campus. The project involves updating the rooftop floorplan and exterior wall design of the North and East façades, along with adding rooftop amenities including an outdoor wash counter/sink and enclosed restroom.

  • Modification of North and East façade design to address waterproofing concerns
  • Update rooftop floorplan
  • Installation of outdoor wash counter and sink on rooftop
  • Addition of enclosed restroom at rooftop level
  • Modification of stucco band spacing on façades
  • Use of varied paint tonalities on North façade
Staff Recommendation
APPROVAL W/ CONDITIONS

Key Issues
  • Requested variances to exceed maximum permitted building height by 36 inches for an outdoor rooftop wash counter and sink
  • Requested variance to exceed maximum permitted building height by 36 inches for an enclosed rooftop restroom
  • Modifications to exterior surface finishes on the north façade due to maintenance and water penetration issues
  • Modifications to horizontal stucco banding on the east façade to minimize water infiltration
  • Staff recommendation to limit tri-color paint scheme to light gray tones on north elevation to avoid detracting from the main east façade
  • Staff preference for 'Option 1' of the two proposed color patterns for the north elevation
