Subject:RE: Access gates to under porch HVAC equipment at MacMuseum
Hi Brian,
Since it’s our Brian’s project I’ve been holding back on responses so I don’t step on his toes where decision
making is concerned. He did show me the fence design and the concrete tracks and asked my opinion. My
immediate response was that it was design overkill. So I hope that the security issue with the equipment is
resolved.
Cheers,
Paul

I saw Stephan McAteer Sunday at the tree planting and he asked me about the gates for the AC. What is your
opinion on this?

Just to clarify, I am fine with the swinging doors. I don’t think they will look that much different than the lattice
that is there.
What I do have an issue with is the concrete tracks.

I am a visual person, so I thought it might help to provide pics of the area we are discussing. The first pic shows
the section where we would like to install the gates to allow access to the air handlers. They would meet in the
middle, where the trim piece is, and would be of the same lattice so as to blend in with the existing sections on
either side. FYI, the gas meters on the left section will go away with our new HVAC system since it is all
electric. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Stephan –
Could you please forward me a copy of the revised drawings so that we can understand what the issue is?

The museum hires our own landscaper to perform lawn maintenance around the museum property, which would
include that area. They come weekly and provide excellent service. The lattice and lathe would be the same as
used now. Doors are needed to provide access to the air handlers for periodic servicing.

If the spacing of the lattice and sizes of the lathe are historically compatible, I am fine with swinging doors. I
am not fine with the concrete tracks. Is the parks dept. actually going to weed eat around these so they will be
functional over time? If we have to have them, can we not do them in brick?

Brian,
Please review attached drawings for the access panels. Is this significant enough that I need to get local and
state approval?

Please see attached drawings of the revised gates for access to the under porch mechanical equipment. Please
review and MB please check for construction comments and any changes in costing from original design. We
are looking at holding our next construction meeting on February 26th. Please let me know if that works for you
before we send out a general invitation.
