| Text | Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of February 27, 2007, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed work at the subject premises, as put forth in your application completed on February 1, 2007. This permit will expire on February 27, 2013. The work, as approved, consists of removing the two existing green house enclosures and constructing new wood additions on the same footprint, featuring a field stone base, wood facades with a dark green painted finish, wood double-hung windows with a dark green painted finish, a standing seem copper roof and copper gutter system, and a louver set within the stone foundation. All proposed work was shown in presentation boards consisting of photo boards, current condition photographs, block plan and existing and proposed drawings, numbered A00 through A08 and E01 through E07, dated last revised January 31, 2007, prepared by Michael Goldblum, The Building Studio, submitted as components of the application, and presented at the Public Hearing and Public Meetings. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the Fieldston Historic District designation report describes 5021 Fieldston Road as a Tudor revival style free standing house built circa 1922-1927; and that in terms of its style, scale, materials, and details, the building contributes to the special architectural and historic character of the Fieldston Historic District. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the existing enclosed structures consisting of a prefab, metal frame shed roof patio, and a modern metal framed greenhouse, are not original to the house, and are not compatible with the house in material or design, and therefore their removal will not cause the destruction of any significant architectural feature of the building; that the construction of a fieldstone wall on top of the footprint of an existing patio will be in keeping with other fieldstone terraces and walls at the site; that the size and massing of the proposed enclosed additions are subordinate to the main house and in keeping with the hierarchy established between additions and the main house, found on many residences within the Fieldston Historic District; and that the design and materials of the one-story wood framed additions with wood double-hung windows are in keeping with small enclosed additions found throughout the historic district. Based on these findings, the Commission determined that the work is appropriate to the building and to the historic district, and voted to approve it. However, in voting to grant this approval, the Landmarks Preservation Commission made its determination subject to the condition that two sets of final signed and sealed drawings showing the approved proposal, which will be filed with the Department of Buildings, be submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for review and approval. Subsequently, on March 6, 2007 the Commission received two sets of a final stamped and signed drawing labeled A00 through A08, dated August 1, 2006; last revised March 2, 2007, and D01, D02 and D03, dated October 19, 2006; revised January 31, 2007, prepared by Michael Goldblum, R.A. The Commission reviewed the submitted drawings and found that proposal approved by the Commission has been maintained. Therefore, these drawings are being marked approved by the Commission with a perforated seal, and this Certificate of Appropriateness is being issued. This permit is issued on the basis of the building and site conditions described in the application and disclosed during the review process. By accepting this permit, the applicant agrees to notify the Commission if the actual building or site conditions vary or if original or historic building fabric is discovered. The Commission reserves the right to amend or revoke this permit, upon written notice to the applicant, in the event that the actual building or site conditions are materially different from those described in the application or disclosed during the review process. All approved drawings are marked approved by the Commission with a perforated seal indicating the date of approval. The work is limited to what is contained in the perforated documents. Other work or amendments to this filing must be reviewed and approved separately. The applicant is hereby put on notice that performing or maintaining any work not explicitly authorized by this permit may make the applicant liable for criminal and/or civil penalties, including imprisonment and fines. This letter constitutes the permit; a copy must be prominently displayed at the site while work is in progress. Please direct inquiries to Kim Valente. Robert B.
