Ladies & gentlemen,
This letter is intended to explain and/or identify voluntary revisions made to the plans based on returning
preliminary construction cost items. All revisions are noted with “B2” for the Building Permit 2nd Review. I
have indicated the sheets that were revised with more detailed descriptions of the changes.
PLANNING DIVISION: (Ms Chavarin)
1.With respect to Planning implications, the following changes were made which would have negated
most of the reviews already completed.
The owner has decided to completely abandon the reconstruction of the Cellar/Basement. The plan
is to now simply reconstruct the stairs to be more inviting with respect to rise/run, but all other
aspects shall remain “as-is”.
Due to the above, there will be NO light-wells so “Tree-Protection” fencing is no longer required.
The entire 2nd story addition has also been reconfigured to be a simple second dormer to match
the existing along that same roof plane.
See also the changes made for the Building Division for description.
BUILDING DIVISION: (Mr. Gray, Ms. O’Brien)
1.A1.1: TITLE SHEET/SITE PLAN: New floor areas have been identified with the reduction of scope of
work, specifically the 2nd story addition.
