Hi Sara,
Jeff and I agree and approve on the following items:
1. Location and proposed style/material of the gutters and downspouts.
2. Proposed exterior light fixtures: existing front fixture to remain, preferred EL-01 (Catskill LED,
preferred light fixture) on non-historic addition, and two goose neck light fixtures where the
new garage door is proposed.
The proposed new window on the west elevation of the non-historic addition: staff is comfortable
approving the proposed fenestration change but the Building Department may have issues with this
change because the new opening may be too close to the property line.
Thank you,
-Sarah-

Subject: 134 E Bleeker project monitoring
Hi Sarah,
I hope you had a nice weekend. Please find attached some project monitoring items for 134 E.
Bleeker St. I believe Jeffrey is our monitor. The Eigelberger team forwarded the permit
comments and have put together the following monitoring items to address these notes. I
thought it would be easier for us to work directly on this before we submit the formal response
through the building permit portal to save time. Is that ok with you?
Here is a summary of the attached drawing set:
1. A new window is proposed on the west elevation. This is a non-street facing elevation that is
non-historic and does not impact the historic landmark. Please let us know if this scope is
approvable by the monitor. If it isn’t then we will likely take it out of the proposal. The window
is metal frame with wood cladding.
2. Lighting plan – light fixtures follow the plan. There are two options for the non-historic
construction. The plan is to leave the existing fixture on the Victorian so the Victorian entrance
reads at the main entrance to the project and it has a special light as compared to the rest of the
project. Here is a photo of the existing fixture:
The barn light is a typical barn style light that will provide some light to the garage door
entrance since the alley is so dark.
3. Gutter and Downspout elevations and plan – half round gutters that are lead coated copper
finish. The downspouts are located at corners. We did our best to avoid covering any character
defining features of the front porch by pushing the downspouts back to the gable end facing the
streetwhile still making sure that the drainage actually works.
7.10 Design gutters so that their visibility on the structure is minimized to the
extent possible.
· Downspouts should be placed in locations that are not visible from the street if
possible, or in locations that do not obscure architectural detailing on the building.
· The material used for the gutters should be in character with the style of the
building.
Please reach out with any questions and I will get back to you asap so that we can keep this permit
moving.
Thanks Sarah! Sara
