Three new floors for historic Capitol Hill building?

This week the DPD published an application notice for 1205 E Pine St (Foley Sign Company Building):

Land Use Application to allow a 5-story structure containing 61 residential units and 5,050 sq. ft. of retail space and 1,345 sq. ft. of office space at ground level. Parking for 36 vehicles will be provided below grade.

This is a fine historic building that was nominated for Historic Landmark Designation in July. The plan is to add three stories on top of the current building, while also refurbishing the bottom two floors.

Anyway, it would be a shame to see this building turned into a Frankenstein or torn down, so if you feel the same and have some good ideas what should be done here the DPD is soliciting comments via their web site. (Of course, these comments generally just tend to go straight into a project file they keep around.)
