1. Need to re-evaluate units 6 & 7 which related to a number of concerns with the project as follows a. Greenspace being questioned for functionality i. Need to design in courtyard or small court appeal; not much room for other activities b. Explore possibility of adjoining units 6&7 c. Evaluate if facing north is an option i. Would eliminate the need for such a wide driveway onto W. 58th Place which could turn into a pedestrian court or front yard. ii. Could eliminate the intrusive and/or awkward presence of second and third story windows overlooking the rear yards on W. 57th 2. Other comments: a. General praise for tough site to develop. b. Compliments for units facing 57th with respecting gable roof and front porches. c. Overall approval of the site plan with the above explanations. |
