Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of November 9, 2008, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to approve a proposal for work at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed on October 27, 2008. This approval will expire November 9, 2014. The proposed work, as approved, includes the installation of a painted wall sign at the secondary visible facade, featuring "The Original Ed Hardy" in a black and white palette, measuring 29'9" in height and 7'9" in width, set back from the front façade of 15 Greene Street. This proposal was shown in drawings dated October 6, 2008, prepared by John C. Hulme, R.A., submitted as components to this application and presented at the Public Hearing. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the SoHo/Cast Iron Historic District Designation Report describes the building as a cast-iron warehouse built in 1895, designed by Samuel A. Warner; and that the style, scale, materials, design and details of the building are among the features which contribute to the special architectural and historic character of the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. With regards to this proposal, the Commission found that the painted wall signs are a traditional method of advertising that was historically found in this historic district and the proposed sign will related well into the industrial and commercial character of the So-Ho Cast Iron Historic District; that the proposed painted wall sign will be placed on a secondary, plain brick façade and will not obscure or cause damage to any significant architectural features of the building; that the proposed painted wall sign will cover a small percentage of the surface of the wall, will be pulled back bewteen five to six feet from the edge of the building, and will include a border, will not extend over any lot-line windows, and therefore will not overwhelm the building and will be in keeping with painted wall signs traditionally found on commercial buildings in this district; that the proposed painted wall sign will be simple in composition and will utilize a simple color palette, and will therefore not call undue attention to itself; and that the proposed work will not detract from the special architectural and historic characteristics of the building, streetscape, and the So-Ho Cast Iron Historic District. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the building and the historic district, and voted to approve this application. However, in voting to grant this approval, the Commission stipulated that a set of unmounted copies of the presentation drawings and two final signed and sealed copies of the Department of Buildings filing drawings for the approved work be submitted to the staff of the Commission for review and approval. Subsequently, on Tuesday, May 11, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings A1 through A6, as prepared by John Calvin Hulme, R.A Based on this and the above findings, the drawings are marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 09-5734 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 Joselito Corpus. Robert B. Tierney Chair PLEASE NOTE: PERFORATED DRAWINGS AND A COPY OF THIS PERMIT HAVE BEEN SENT TO: John C. Hulme, Architect, HH Building Consutling/Arch P.C. PAGE 2 Issued: 12/12/08 DOCKET: 09-5734 |
