Consider for recommendation to the Board of Commissioners approval to install a ramp leading to the front door of the former convent building of St. Matthias Church.

On Monday, October 23, 2017 the Historical Commission recommended approval of the application, with a subcommittee of the full Commission to review railings, lighting, finish and color of stucco, type of stone to be used as paving on the steps and landing, configuration of railings, and the impact of the new construction on the existing cheek walls and stairs. If the applicant and subcommittee cannot come to an agreement, the applicant may return to the full Commission for review.

Please note that though the decision was unanimous, a quorum of Historical Commission members was not present.
