RE: Rough Draught Whiskey Bar
To whom it may concern,
This letter is a request for a minimum reduction in the transparency requirements for the renovation of
a portion of the existing building located at 313 Church Street for a new bar.
The request is being submitted because the exterior load bearing walls of the building are made with
eight inch concrete masonry units.The removal of these units for the additional window space could
cause some problems with the overall structural stability of the exterior wall.
Your thoughts and consideration for the request are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Harry W. Bostic
