CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL The applicant shall be responsible for constructing the garage in compliance with the approved plans dated June 7, 2017, except as modified by these conditions of approval. 2. Prior to submitting a building permit application and final issuance of the Landmark Alteration Certificate, the applicant shall submit to the Landmarks design review committee (Ldre), for its final review and approval: a. Revised plans showing a reduction in the mass and scale of the proposed new garage to reduce the width to be more in scale with the contributing accessory building, to provide more permeability into the historic property, and to prevent the alleyscape from becoming tunnel- like. b. Final architectural plans that include details for the new building, including wall and roof materials, door and window details, and hardscaping on the property to ensure that the final design of the building is consistent with the General Design Guidelines, the Mapleton Historic District Design Guideline, and the intent of this approval.
