Drawings for the above referenced
project were received on April 2, 2006. The submission was reviewed for
compliance with the zoning resolution, the Milbank-Frawley Circle East
Urban Renewal Plan and HPD's design guidelines for new constructiion.
This project is heereby receiving
schematic design approval.
-
Zoning calculations appear to
be compliant.
-
Most dwelling units meet or
exceed HPD's design guidelines for new construction.
The following item must
be revised prior to the design development phase. Please refer to BDR/DACE;s
memo issued 02/14/2006 for details:
-
Unit H, 4th floor plan. "All
units must have a linen closet (at least 1'-5" deep and 2'-0" wide) and
a coat closeet (at least 2'-0" deep and 3'-0" wide), separate from bedroom
storage." This guideline cannot be waived (provision of sorage and gross
square footage are unrelated items). Unit H is lacking a linen closetg
and must be corrected.
No further submissions

been implemented would be appreciated.
