It is proposed to add three new dwelling units to the basement level of the existing mid-rise apartment building on the subject property. The built form of the building, including the building height and lot coverage, will not be altered to facilitate the devlelopment of the basement dwellings. In order to facilitate the development of the basement units, window wells will be provided below grade along MacLaren St. to allow light and emergency egress from each newly created dwelling unit. A black, wrought-iron guard railing is proposed to enclose each window well from the public realm.
