Type III Applications for Establishment of Historic Landmark Inventory, Removal from Historic Landmark Inventory, Demolition of Historic Landmark Structures and any Discretionary Use listed in the underlying zoning district as specified in section 5.9-100 will be reviewed by the Planning Commission following a recommendation by the Historical Commission. Adjacent property owners and occupants are notified and may attend a public review meeting and state their concerns, or send written comments. Major and Minor Alteration Standards (3.3-945) The following standards apply to major and minor alterations as specified in Section 3.3- 915B. and C., within the H Overlay District. 1. Any proposed use shall minimize exterior alteration of the Historic Landmark Site or Structure and its environment; uses that require substantial exterior alteration shall not be permitted. 2. The distinguishing original qualities of the Historic Landmark Site or Structure and its environment shall not be substantially altered. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features is prohibited unless an immediate hazard to public safety exists. 3. All historic Landmark Sites or Structures are recognized as products of their own time. Alterations which have no historic basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance are prohibited. 4. Changes that have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a Historic Landmark Site or Structure and its environment. Where changes have acquired significance in their own right, this significance shall be recognized. S. Distinctive stylistic features and examples of local or period craftsmanship which characterize a Historic Landmark Site or Structure shall be retained. 6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced. In the even replacement cannot be avoided, the new material shall match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features is based on accurate duplicate features, substantiated by historic, physical or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural design, or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. 7. New design for undeveloped Historic Landmark Sites in the Washburne Historic Landmark District and for alterations and additions to existing Historic Landmark Sites and Structures are permitted when they complement significant historic, architectural or cultural features and the design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood or environment. B. New additions or alterations to Historic Landmark Structures shall not impair the essential form and integrity of the structure. Revised 10.10.13ki 4 01`7 Demolition Standards (3.3-950) Demolition of Historic Landmark Sites or Structures is an extreme measure that may be permitted only after all other reasonable alternatives for preservation have been thoroughly examined. A. No demolition permit will be granted for any Historic Landmark Site or Structure unless the owner has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Historical Commission that 1 of the following criteria applies: 1. The condition of the Historic Landmark Site or Structure constitutes a serious and immediate threat to the safety of the public or occupants that cannot be eliminated without repairs that would exceed 50 percent of the value of the structure itself. a. A MIA -certified appraisal shall be required to determine the value of the Historic Landmark Structure. b. At least 2 bids from qualified contractors shall be required to determine the cost of repairs to the Historic Landmark Structure. 2. The property owner has demonstrated that there would be no reasonable, long- term economic benefit from preservation of the Historic Landmark Site or Structure. In making this determination, the owner shall demonstrate that all potential uses or adaptive uses for the Historic Landmark Site or Structure have been thoroughly examined. For example: a. The fact that a greater economic return would result from demolition than preservation is insufficient to meet this criteria. b. A lack of adequate funds to pursue potential uses or adaptive uses is insufficient to meet this criteria (i.e., selling the Historic Landmark Site or Structure is an option that shall be considered). B. If a Historic Landmark Site or Structure is permitted to be demolished, the property owner shall provide the Historical Commission with: 1. Four sets of measured drawings prepared by a qualified draftsperson showing the primary floor plans and the primary exterior elevations. 2. A set of photographs that document the exterior and interior details, including significant architectural elements. C. The property owner shall also supply the Historical Commission with any artifact or other architectural element as identified by the Historical Commission. The artifact or architectural element shall be carefully removed and delivered to the Historical Commission in good condition to be used in future conservation work.

Considering increased standards for accessibility in the decades since the church was constructed along with an aging congregation this is a critical upgrade needed to keep the church fimctional and usable in the coming years. The historic and iconic original church building had additions to its west side during the 1960s. The proposed elevator addition is designed to tuck into a gap between the original building and additions, in order to access several non-aligned floor heights in the two portions of the building. This also largely hides the elevator addition from being seen from the street, and minimizes the amount of new fagade to be created. The design of the elevator addition has several features to visually integrate with the existing church. Its round -top window references the church sanctuary (stained-glass) windows, and the proposed fiber -cement siding with horizontal grooves should match closely with the grooved concrete portions of the church fWade. Type ofcomiructiom Standard light wood frame construction (stud walls, etc.), with premanufactured elevator device. Type offacade materials: Large fiber -cement panels in 3 -ft, 2 -ft, and 1 -ft widths, with aluminum reglets between panels.
