10. Historic photographs show a similar tone of brick color at the subject property, at 3236 Sandwich Street, and at the adjacent building, at 3226 Sandwich Street, currently the Sandwich Brewing Company. Although the existing sidewall, at 3226 Sandwich Street, is largely painted red, the underlying brick odor is in the orange-red range. There is very little contrast in the black and white photograph. below, to suggest that the two buildings are significantly different in colour, however, the colour difference is clearly evident in the colour photograph below.

11. Existing window and door openings remain unchanged with new windows and doors provided, as follows: a. Five of the existing wall openings have a roll-up, sectional aluminum doors; this includes the four large openings (two at 1$1 story and two at 2“story) and the door opening at the east (right) side of the wall. All of the existing roll-up doors will be replaced with the same type of door‘ having dark anodized or painted aluminum finish. Sizes of glazing and infill panels are reduced, from existing sizes to a more traditional, near the square, sizing and proportion, to better relate with the neighboring Brewery building facade. The bottom course of panels in larger, 1‘51 story roIl-up doors will have dark finish infill panels to address concerns for privacy, security and weather resistance. The Owner informs us that the Rock Bottom Bar & Grill is one of the first establishments in the region to have roIl-up doors and this feature is a hallmark for this Bar.

The existing entry door (west side of facade) is a solid steel-clad door. The proposed replacement door is a commercial grade, prefinished aluminum door, with glazing in the upper half and solid lower panel, protected by an oversized aluminum kick plate. half-lite glazing is recommended for safety reasons (i.e., ability to see if some acne is on the other side of the door before operating the door). Door and frame are proposed as a dark anodized or painted finish to match the roIl-up doors and windows Transom windows, above 1St story doors, are aluminum, awning-glazed units in dark anodized or painted finish. Transom window sizes remain unchanged.

Existing (white) vinyl awning window, at center of 2“story, will be replaced with a new aluminum awning window, also in dark anodized or painted finish.
