Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of of December 5, 2006, following the Public Hearing of December 5, 2006, voted to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed work at the subject premises, as put forth in your application completed on November 9, 2006. The proposal, as approved, consists of alterations to the front facade, including the removal of the modern storefront infill, the roll-down security gates and tracks, and the wood and metal canopy in place at the time of designation, retaining the cast iron column cover at the south pier; scraping and painting the cast iron column cover; the installation of a new painted wood and glass storefront with paneled bulkheads and transoms, and a wood and glass door with a brass number plate; scraping and painting the steel lintel above the storefront opening, and painting the name of the tenant on the steel lintel; and cleaning, and repointing the brick portions of the facade, all as shown in drawings titled "111 South Street - Storefront", "111 South Street - Details", "111 South Street - Finishes", all stamped "Received Preservation Department" November 28, 2006, paint samples of the proposed paint colors, Hascolac "Coach Green" for the storefront and cast iron pilaster, and Hascolac "Storm Grey" for the cast iron lintel, catalog cuts for the proposed brass hardware and recessed light fixture, and photographs of the existing conditions, all prepared and presented at the Public Hearing and Public Meeting by Marco Pasanella. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the Tribeca South Historic District Designation Report describes 111 South Street Street as a Federal style commercial building built in 1818-19; and that the style, scale, materials, and details of the building are among the features that contribute to the special architectural and historic character of the South Street Seaport Historic District. The Commission also noted that the storefront infill, roll-down security gate, and tracks and the wood and glass canopy in place at the time of designation were installed in the early 20th century; and that the canopy does not matchj the historic canopuies in place at adjacent buildings. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that removing the existing modern the configuration of the proposed storefront, including painted paneled wood bulkheads, large single light display windows, transoms, and a central entrance with paired doors, will be similar to the historic storefronts found on buildings of this age and type in this and many other historic districts; that reinstalling the salvaged prismatic glass panels in the transoms will help to preserve important historic material from this building; that the painted finish will be in keeping with the types of finishes historically found on storefront in this historic district; and that for these reasons the proposed changes are in keeping with the building, the street, and the Tribeca South Extension Historic District. and that for these reasons the proposed will enhance the special architectural and historic character of the building and the historic district. Based on these findings, the Commission determined this portion of the proposed work to be appropriate to the building, and voted to approve it. However, in voting to grant this approval, the Commission made its determination subject to the following conditions: 1. that the design be modified to include a corrugated metal and steel canopy, aligned with and matching the canopies on adjacent buildings; 2. that two sets of construction drawings showing the approved design with the canopy be submitted to the Commission for review. On April 11, 2007, the Commission received a drawing titled "111 South Street - Storefront", stamped with that date, showing the approved design, with the required canopy. Staff had previously received reduced copies of the drawings titled "111 South Street - Details", and "111 South Street - Finishes", both stamped "Received Preservation Department" December 28, 2006. Staff has reviewed these materials and finds that the proposal approved by the Commission has been maintained. Based on this and the approved findings, the drawings are being marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 07-7439 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 John Graham. Robert B.
