The revisions are summarized as follows: - For both the IL & AL buildings, the upper level(s) of the balconies have been revised from the solid balcony guard wall to open vertical aluminum picket railing of level 2 balconies. This is the same picket railing previously approved by the Architectural Review Board. HKS, Inc. 379 West Broadway New York, NY 10012 Page 2 of 3 - For the AL building only, HVAC Packaged Terminal Air Conditioning (PTAC) louvers are to be mulled with the window unit and have been added to the elevations underneath the windows of the AL dwelling and sleeping units. - At the IL main entry façade, two sets of windows symmetrical on either side of the Level 1 main entry, have been pulled approximately 3 feet forward to align with the exterior wall plane. On the same façade at Level 2, two windows have been added to the wall behind the porte cochere for IL dwelling units. A portion of the porte cochere roof had to be flattened to allow for these windows, but still maintained full coverage from the main entry door to the drive aisle. - In the IL North and AL West Courtyards, a roof awning has been added to cover outdoor space of the courtyards adjacent to interior amenity dining rooms. - Removal of the stone base wall at the sides of the Level 1 private patios of the IL dwelling units. - Select window sizes & locations have been revised due to the interior functions of the spaces behind them. - A selection of roof dormers above fourth floor windows have been simplified and, in some cases, joined together for constructability purposes. - All exterior stair doors are shown as solid hollow metal flush doors, no longer with multiple number of panels. - A small awning has been added over some exterior doors that need a covering overhead to help prevent water infiltration into the door during rainy weather events. - The Roof Plan includes the previously approved rooftop equipment heights and the heights that are anticipated by the current mechanical engineer for this project. All planned heights either match or are less than what was previously approved by ARB. - The roof slopes and roof eaves heights have been revised in order to keep the average roof heights at or below the average roof heights approved by ARB. - In addition, the Townhouses are being sent to you at this time to show the revisions to their exterior elevations. After the March 04, 2026 hearing, we realized these needed to be shown to the ARB for review and approval as well. The revisions to the previously ARB approved Townhouse elevations primarily have to do with: o Aligning some walls for constructability purposes, which simplified some of areas of the roof structure. o Some of the windows, as follows:  On the “front and back” elevations of the Townhouses, some of the window sizes were adjusted to work with headers and rough opening sizes that are constructable, including at the side lights of the entry doors of both facades.  On the “side” elevations of the Townhouses, some the window sizes and their composition have been revised to work with the interior layout of the space. To further explain: as can be seen on the floor plan on the garage side of the Townhouse, the main entry door from the porch into the foyer shows an entry closet, HKS, Inc. 379 West Broadway New York, NY 10012 Page 3 of 3 then a bathroom, and then an interior stair- in that order, along the inside of the exterior wall. The previous exterior elevations showed windows of sizes and locations that did not effectively recognize these spaces. The revised window sizes and composition of the “side” elevations now appropriately work with the layout and these spaces. Again, thank you for your time and consideration of these revisions.
