HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| PLACED ON FILE
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the Salvation Army is now planning a 7100 square foot two-story addition with a basement connecting two buildings. The plan is fairly formed, but they want Commission approval prior to fundraising. They want to fence off the open courtyard so they can add playground equipment to it. Most of the critique is functional on certain issues, but it does appear to meet all of our design guidelines except not having established the materials yet.
Major Beverly Gates and Tracy Habermehl - Salvation Army - there will be a food pantry and the addition will be a dining area, kitchen and offices. There will also be rooms in the other section. Most of the offices will be in the new addition. The ultimate goal is to create a more efficient building to serve people as best they can. It has cost them more in architectural fees as they had to re-design. Their capital campaign is $30 million, which includes an endowment fund to maintain the building. They will find an architect who has worked with historic buildings. The loading dock location is an issue as it's right next to the sleeping area and DPW doesn't think they'll be able to get a semi into that location.
They will be back when they are in the construction phase, by Mr Askin. Mr. Askin is supportive of the project.
Grant conceptual approval to the building form; the Commission finds no glaring inappropriate issues.
