Heading: Historic District Commission

Text: In July 2000, Cliff Walk submitted architectural drawings to the Historic District Commission to obtain approval for exterior renovations to the hotel. Depicting the north and east elevations, those plans proposed a new slate roof, a new flat roof supported by columns with balustrade railings forming a second-floor balcony, a door to replace a window that would create an entrance to the balcony, and privacy lattice. The easterly rendering depicted three sets of stairs leading onto the decks below the colonnade roof. The northerly depiction also showed three sets of stairs leading to the deck below the colonnade roof. Neither of the plans showed walled courtyards or private balconies. On August 28, 2000, the zoning officer, Guy E. Weston, wrote to inform Cliff Walk that the Historic District Commission had approved the following proposed construction: [w]indow to door on east elevation, [d]ormer on west elevation, [f]lat roof extension and colonnade on north, east and south elevation, [b]alcony on east and north elevation of flat roof addition. In his letter, the zoning officer also instructed Cliff Walk to obtain any necessary building permits for the work approved.
