OPTION A BENEFITS
• By not enclosing the outside balconies and patios on the east and west sides of the middle and
rear portions of the 822 Route 28 Building and leaving them with railings as shown, the
following benefits result:
• The residents’ apartment will receive much more sun light and will not be dark;
• The residents will have safe, private, and personal spaces to sit outside throughout
the year as weather conditions allow;
• If enclosed as in Option B, these small areas will become predominantly dead storage
spaces without cooling in the summer or heating in the winter (even with sliders);
• The expense to condition the small, enclosed spaces as in Option B and to add
exterior walls, sliders, and additional structural construction will cost in the high six
figures without substantively improving the appearance of the building;
• These two sides of the building are in the middle and rear of the Property and are not
visible from Route 28; and
• The Design Review Committee prefers Option A to Option B;
• Option A requires less zoning relief than the original proposal because conforming building
modulation has been added to the front right of the 822 Route 28 Building facing Route 28 as
well as both the side fronts on the east and west sides of the building. The only variance
relief now required for Option A is to allow the balconies and patios to remain as shown.
