Stephan –
As you have mentioned before, the whole area around the armory is an archeological site. I think one concern is that, in
excavating 16” deep between the brick piers, there’s a good chance of uncovering artifacts. The same is probably true
for the roller tracks. The curved, concrete roller track will also be a visual intrusion. Honestly, I can’t help but think that,
although the panels are well designed, they are overdesigned. If the lattice panels were made more lightweight, so that
they could be removed and moved by one person, the need for the casters and the concrete tracks could be eliminated.
We’re talking about two 5’ X 7’ panels. Could they be hung on some type of bar so that they could be lifted off? Do they
have to be made secure so that access (theft or vandalism)is restricted? I think we would like to explore the option of
making the panels lighter and doing away with the concrete.

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.
