* Replacement of mesh balcony railings with horizontal ones;
* Replacement of the stone finish along the colonnade with scored stucco;
* Removal of the glazing at the decorative rooftop (beacon) structures so the frames are 'open to sky';
* Relocation of some rooftop planters from the pool deck to the fifth floor roof on the south elevation; and
* Replacement of the approved clear glass to glazing with a grey tint.
