Hoppin’ The large anchor restaurant space of Markley Station, previously approved by the DRB, came back with a redesign of the rooftop venue. Originally, the roof top structure on the second floor of Hoppin’, a tap room from Charlotte, was an open-
air pergola. Now, it’s a fully enclosed penthouse that will be used to house restrooms and an interior stairwell. The main point of discussion for the panel was whether the proposed brick exterior met the guidelines for structures of historic nature, which
states that an addition must differentiate from the original structure either in material or design or both. “Brick shouldn’t match if you use brick,” Cioffi said. All panelists agreed the brick, rather than a stucco option, was
the best choice of material, with Mitch Lehde and Fontaine recommending a darker shade to set it apart from the original brick. “If it were my building I would put brick there” Fontaine said.
