Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of September 9, 2008, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to approve a proposal to enclose a terrace at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed on June 26, 2008. The approval will expire on September 9, 2014. The proposed work, as approved, consists of enclosing a terrace on top of the existing rear yard extension, by constructing roof with wood decking, skylights, and metal railings; constructing a fourth west-facing wall with a projecting bay featuring two single-pane casement windows and a stucco finish, and installation of a single-pane tilt-and-turn window at the north wall; as shown in existing conditions photographs, renderings, and drawings labeled P-01, P-02, P-03, P-4, P-05, P-06, P-07; and drawings labeled 8, 9, 10, E-10.0, A-6.0, and A-7.0; dated August 12, 2008; all prepared by Michael Zenreich Architects; submitted as components of the application, and presented at the Public Hearing and Public Meeting. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission notes that the Upper East Side Historic District designation report describes 114 East 65th Street as a Beaux-Arts style residence designed by Buchman & Deisler and built in 1899-1900; and that the building's style, scale and materials are among the features which cause this building to contribute to the special architectural and historic character of the Upper East Side Historic District. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the enclosure of the terrace will not result in the destruction of any significant architectural features; that the proposed addition will not be visible from any public thoroughfare; that the existing south and east walls already obstruct views of the façade at the top floor, thus enclosing the terrace will not significantly alter the appearance of the rear façade from most vantage points; that the additional wall area will be light-colored stucco which is used elsewhere on the rear façade; and that the proposed work will not diminish the special character of the building or the greenspace in the center of the block. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the building and to the district, and voted to approve it. However, in voting to grant this approval, the Commission stipulated that two signed and sealed copies of the final Department of Buildings filing drawings for the approved work be submitted to the staff of the Commission for review and approval. Subsequently, on October 15, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings labeled P-01, P-02, P-03, P-4, P-05, P-06, P-07; and drawings labeled 8, 9, 10, E-10.0, A-6.0, and A-7.0; dated August 12, 2008; all prepared by Michael Zenreich, R. A.; a drawing labeled M-4, dated July 30, 2008; a drawing labeled P-1, dated July 29, 2008; all prepared by Thomas Szekely, P.E.; and drawings labeled S-0.1, S-4, and S-5; dated August 11, 2008, prepared by Roman Emilio Gilsanz, P.E. Accordingly, staff reviewed the drawings and found that the proposal approved by the Commission has been maintained. Based on this and the above findings, the drawings are marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 09-4953 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 Blaire Walsh. Robert B.
