New Business
1. DRC Application No. 13.15: 274 Weybosset Street – Del Sesto Building (formerly Summerfield Building) Proposal by Johnson and Wales University to construct a new stair tower addition at the rear of the building (south elevation).
2. DRC Application No. 13.16: 111 Mathewson Street (1930’s addition to Arnold Building*) Proposal by Bookworm Assoc. LLC to modify an existing storefront window, and to create a new wall opening for the installation of a new storefront system on the front elevation of the building.
Adjournment
*Confusingly, this is the Arnold Building which houses Cellar Stories Books (which confusingly is not in a cellar, but on the second floor), not the Narrow Building across the street which is also called the “Arnold Building.”
Regarding the Superman Building does anyone else think the city and state should provide some tax assistance to help the developer renovate it for re-use or should we let it be sold eventually or taken over by eminent domain?
