Consider for recommendation to the Board of Commissioners approval to make several modifications to the historic church complex, including site improvements and small additions to existing buildings to aid accessibility.

On February 25, 2019, the Historical Commission recommended approval of the following:

a.  The Sanctuary-Activities Building link as submitted, with record drawings to be provided that clarify notes regarding paving and building materials, with the applicant to submit product data relating to those items.

b.  The addition and porch on the Education Building, with the applicant to provide additional material and product data relating to the windows, porch, and roofing materials, with a request that the roofing material match the lead-coated copper found elsewhere on the campus. The Commission suggests minor modification to the scale of the proposed openings at the entrance, to change the scale of the openings to more closely be sympathetic to the existing details of the building. In addition, the Commission requests clarification from the applicant regarding the treatment of the exposed stone foundation (yet to be unearthed), and clarification of the materials comprising the retaining walls.

c.  The contemplative garden, with additional material and product data to be provided along with a record set of the site or landscape plan indicating paving, lighting, gate, foundation, etc.
