The committee will also review three applications to the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) for Certificates of Appropriateness.

º     308 Cumberland Street — Fort Greene Historic District — Application is to replace the windows on the front façade with double-hung windows; all wood with wooden brickmolding at the garden level and metal-clad windows with painted wood brickmolding applied to the frame on the upper (parlor, second and third) floors.
º     259 Clermont Avenue — Fort Greene Historic District — Application is to construct a rooftop stair bulkhead in standing seam metal wall cladding, installing HVAC condensers on the south and west walls of the stair bulkhead; construct an unenclosed roof deck with wood decking and horizontal, stainless steel cable railing; and extend the chimney flue above stair bulkhead. Applicant anticipates that the replacement of windows, areaway ironwork, light fixtures and the rear deck will be approved at staff level.
º     56 Middagh Street — Brooklyn Heights Historic District — Application is to construct a new, four-story plus cellar residential building with a two-bay parking garage to the right (west) of an existing three-story (plus cellar plus basement) building, on a portion of the L-shaped lot currently used for parking. The new building is proposed to be constructed using concrete masonry units with painted fiber cement clapboard and trim to mimic real wood because wood framing, blocking and siding are not allowed by the Department of Buildings in this application.
