Review Board and we have a very short agenda tonight. But first we have a couple of things to do. Approval of minutes. I think we can, we're all set on that. We're all set. Right. So I'll take roll call. Rosableufumante is out. Luchelia Elliott. Yeah. Jim Fleming. Yeah. Keith Gordon is out. Leanne Merchant. Here. Belkies-Rays CUNY. Here. Don Merchards. Here. And staff with us today, Kevin Cain, Director of Planning and Sustainability and myself, Benito Sejas, Senior Project Manager. Excellent. We have a quorum. I jump to approval of minutes. I think we can just wait to the next one. You want to wait till, or? If everyone's ready. Okay. Anybody have anybody have any comments? Well, just one point I wasn't here in February. So I, you know, can't say from same so I can't. Okay. So maybe we'll wait. Yeah. Okay. Excellent. We are up to the public hearings. Item number two, I should say item 2.1 is application of HLRB22025 by Omar Ibrahim, best roofing company. I think they are not appearing tonight so we can actually adjourn it, I guess. We can, I mean if they happen to show up, we can hear them. But for now, we'll skip ahead and move on to item 2. We're going to move on to item 2.2, application HLRB 32025 by James McCourt-Liven, painting contractors for a certificate of appropriateness to resource the top and front facing areas of the brick concrete stoop and steps with stone at 37 Rockland Place block 878, lot 74 and an R1 historic zone district. Welcome, hope I sent you name right. Thank you. I outlined everything. If you could just identify yourself for the record. Oh yeah. I'm James Co-11, president of Co-11 Painting Contractors Incorporated. Thank you. So I was hired to change the, actually, restore the front of the porch on 37 Rockland Place. And this is a picture of the existing house and I guess I should go down to this slide show, is that what you like to see? Thank you. Yes, you can go through the slides. Okay, so this is the front of the house. And this is the, this is also the front of the house with a view of the neighbor to the left. And this is the front of the house with a view of the neighbor to the right. This is the house, the front. Now it shows a little bit of the porch or the stoop. Again, this is another picture of the house next door. And this is across the street. This is a view from 37 Rockland looking directly across the street to give you an idea of what the surrounding how homes look like. So this picture right here is the existing foundation that goes around most of the house. And this is, I'm assuming this is all original. And this is what I have to work on. So I'm gonna go forward and then I'll come back to this if that's okay with the wall. Okay. This is a picture of the front of the stoop. This is a section of the stoop where it's in disrepair. Now this picture is a board over at Samarco, which is the closest, it's called Spring Lake Mosaic. This is the closest that I found in my somewhat extensive travels to try to match the existing foundation stone. This is a stone that is sold by a place called Stone Farm out in Connecticut and these are all repurposed stones from different parts of the world actually. And so this one I thought would be the most appropriate match to which there. This is a design of the basically picture of what I plan on doing. The what's there now, if we go back to, is everybody okay with all that? Okay, what's there now is this concrete facing and I'm pretty sure it was done down the road, but because of these blocks, these these cutouts, I figured that the 2x2 would stay consistent with what's there. If you look on the bottom of the brick closest to you, there are actually stones there that match the foundation stone. So I'm figuring that all this brick work was added later. This doesn't look like it's original. So my idea, my plan is to cover the whole front with these two by two pieces of stone. And this is actually a sample of it. Would you like me to bring this up to you or... Can you help me, but I have a job. This is the facade and this is the actual stone piece. It couldn't bring anything bigger because it was quite heavy. So I figure what I will do first is to take off all of the brick and cut away about two inches of the top of the flag, grind it with a concrete sword and chip it away and then level it out with an amix. And then once we have the right height, we'll embed the new stone, the 2x2, on top of that. But we're going to go around the perimeter first with the facade and then we'll sit the new stone right on top of the perimeter so it'll have a nice clean look. I intend also to take out the handrail and reset that the same handrail exactly where it is. The step I'm gonna do the same thing, I'm gonna take away the brick, work with the existing foundation of what's underneath it, to substrate, substructure, and fill out what cement and get a nice level point and then set smaller pieces of the same stone consistent with the size that's here now. So I plan on keeping the same dimensions, the same heights, just changing the material to try to keep it as uniform to what was here. Is there any questions or is it? So it's staying the same size. It's staying the same size. Bricks disappearing. Bricks disappearing. And the size will match the foundation essentially. That's correct. Saying that right. And then you're putting the flat two by twos on the the stupid self and the steps. That's correct. That's correct. It's going. Yeah. We good? Yeah. OK. That's OK. Thank you. Any comments from the audience? I think you're already. I think you're fine. Yeah. Do we know it? We think tell people on it. Yep. Sure. Motion will be approved as presented. Second. Second. On favor. Hi. Any opposed? Application approved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Being that the first applicant is not here unless there's anything else if anyone wants to make a motion to adjourn. Mostly adjourned. Is there a second? So moved. Second. We're adjourned. Yes. Thank you everyone. Thank you. Thank you. you
