Sincerely yours, WEIR Architects/Planners 09v,t9 0 Charles Witsell, Jr., FAIA NEW LIBRARY AND CLASSROOM BUILDING, ST. EDWARDS CURCH AND SCHOOL Summ4a of Project and use of proposed spaces. This proposed project will demolish the existing 5700 square foot yellow brick rectory and replace it with a 16,200 square foot building that that will be two stories plus a finished basement. The building will contain one library with support space, one science lab with support space, one computer lab, four general classrooms, two offices and teacher workrooms, a conference room and toilets, lockers, stairs, elevator, and related smaller components. Demolition: The existing rectory building is used as priest's residence and a variety of small meeting rooms used primarily by the school. It is a one story building with a partially exposed basement with low ceiling height. With the removal of this building the existing basement area will be come part of the volume of the new construction. Design Intent for the New Building_ The proposed building will be brick with details of pre -cast concrete. In color and detail, the new building is intended to be very compatible with the office building at the north end of the block. The yellow brick of the rectory building is not compatible with the dark gray brick of the monumental church or the middle gray of the office building (sometimes called the convent building.) It has not been used as a convent in many years. It is the intention of this congregation, building committee, rector and architects that the appearance of the new building be hannonious with the office building in scale and massing, and that a brick that comes reasonably close matching the office building be used, Pre -cast concrete (limestone appearance) sills and trim on the building will reflect the older building as well. Windows that are similar will be used. Composition shingles will be used for the roof, which will approximate the office building as well. Site Changes The site will have few changes, although there will be a small loss of parking spaces since the new footprint of the building will exceed the older one to be demolished. A new ground mounted sign will be placed near the south-west corner of the church building. It is also intended to be compatible. cup.doc 5 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE LITTLE ROCK PLANNING COMMISSION ON AN APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT To all owners of lands lying within 200 feet of the boundary of property at: Address: 801 Sherman Street, Little Rock, AR 72202 General Location: Sherman and 91h Streets, Little Rock, Arkansas Owned By: Catholic Diocese of Little Rock 09/22/05 Notice is hereby given that an application for a Conditional Use Permit on the above property has been filed with the Department of Planning and Development, 723 West Markham, City of Little Rock, Arkansas to allow use of the property as follows: PRESENT USE: Church & School PROPOSED USE: Same A public hearing on the application will be held in the Chamber of the Little Rock Board of Directors, 2nd Floor, City Hall on: December 1, 2005, at 4:00 P.M.
