Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of June 17, 2008, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to approve certain alterations at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed on May 22, 2008. The approval will expire on June 17, 2014. The proposed work, as approved, consists of the installation of storefront infill, the extension of an existing bulkhead, and the construction of a new bulkhead; as shown in unlabeled presentation boards, dated 6/17/08, prepared by Winka Dubbledam, submitted as components of the application, and presented at the June 17, 2008 Public Hearing and Public Meeting. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the Tribeca West Historic District designation report describes 11 Hubert Street as a garage designed by Dietrick Wortmann and built in 1946, altered in 1989-1990 with a two-story addition, new masonry openings and a new stucco finish. With regard to the proposal, the Commission found that the height and massing of the new and extended bulkheads will not overwhelm this highly altered building or the streetscape; that the new and extended bulkheads will be finished to match the surrounding masonry; that the recessed masonry openings beneath exposed steel lintels on the Collister Street façade are not historic and their removal will not eliminate any original or historic fabric; that the new windows on the Collister Street and Hubert Street façades will introduce a transparency that is evocative of historic storefront openings; that the new windows on the Hubert Street façade within the narrowed garage door opening will retain the height of the existing garage door opening and will be installed at the same plane of the remaining garage door thereby recalling the historic use of the opening as a garage entrance; and that the details and configuration of the storefront openings are evocative of historic paneled garage doors. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the building and the historic district, and voted to approve it. However, the Commission made its determination subject to the stipulation that final signed and sealed Department of Buildings filing drawings for the approved work be submitted for review and approval. Subsequently, on June 25, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings A0.00, D1.01, D1.02, D1.03, D1.04, D2.01, D2.02, D3.02, A1.00, A1.01, A1.02, A1.03, A1.04, A2.01, A2.02, A3.02, A4.02, A4.02, P1.01, and P1.02, dated 6/19/08, prepared by Randall P. Collins, R.A.. Staff reviewed these drawings and found that the approved work has been maintained. In addition, staff noted the inclusion of the following additional work: interior alterations at the cellar, first, second, and third floors; removal of two windows at the non-visible western façade of the two-story addition and their replacement with pairs of French Doors; and the installation of a new pair of sliding glass doors within a new masonry opening at the non-visible western façade of the two-story addition. With regard to the additional work, the Commission finds, in accordance with the Rules of the City of New York, Title 63, Section 3-04(d)(2), that the new French Doors will not be visible from a public thoroughfare, will be installed within existing window openings that are to be enlarged in height and that such enlargement will not alter or destroy protected features, and will not replace "special" windows as defined in the definitions (section 3-01) and illustrated in Appendix A. The Commission further finds, in accordance with the R.C.N.Y., Title 63, Section 2-15(b), that the new sliding door opening will not alter or destroy other protected features, nor will the proposed opening or doors detract from such protected features by their proximity to such features. Based on these and the above findings, the drawings are marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 09-1531 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 Timothy Shaw. Robert B.
