Mr. Douglass presented a revised (October 29, 1959) sketch of the proposed porch which Depositors Trust Company desires to build over the walk -up banking window and night depository appear- ing on one of the sketches which formed the basis for the Commis - sionerst granting of the existing Certificate of Appropriateness. The dimensions and details appear on the sketch, and the color proposed is the same as that of the rest of the exterior of the building. It is desired to have a tar and gravel roof, which will not be visible from any public street, and the underside of the roof of the proposed portion will be plastered with two lights re- cessed therein. The Chairman stated that the two principal questions before the Commission at this meeting were, first, whether the Commission could amend the existing certificate without the notice and hear- ing required by the statute and, second, whether, if the first question were to be answered in the affirmative, the proposed change might be appropriate within the meaning of the act.
