| Certificate of
Appropriateness Application 01-30. The
owner of the Parks Cramer Complex has applied for approval to place an
elevator inside the northernmost building on the property at the red dot in
the site plan depicted below. The elevator will require the removal of
a portion of original flooring on the second floor and the mezzanine (not an
original or historic feature of the building). Amy Gray and Dan
Morrill visited the site and discussed alternatives with the architect.
The Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines does not condone removal of
original features of the building. We discussed the possibility of
placing the elevator in an exterior tower. However, even that would
require the alteration of exterior windows. The elevator is required
by the American For Disabilities Act. Staff believes that the proposed
placement of the elevator is sensitive to the historic character of the
building and will protect the historic character of the exterior of the
building. Staff Recommendation: Approve the Application as presented. |
