Compliance Findings:

Key Issues

• Modification of the opening at the second level along Collins Avenue is not consistent with the original design and has an adverse impact on the proportionality of the primary façade
• Need to explore raising the lower rear portion of the first-floor level to address sea level rise concerns
• Requirement for new balustrade on the outside of the proposed glass enclosure to maintain proportions of the primary façade
