Subject:RE: St. Mary: Front Steps
I would like to clarify one item. The sidewalk around the front entry way does not meet Engineering Standards.
However, correcting this drainage issue can be achieved by eliminating a step without altering the rest of the stairway,
landing, and entrance area. I understand the desire to only alter the stairway once, but want to ensure proper steps are
followed for HPC approval. Amy I will defer to you on the required HPC procedure, I just want to ensure everyone knows
there are other options, and the drainage issue is not the driving force. I’m happy to meet to discuss.
Thanks,

Subject: St. Mary: Front Steps
Dear Amy,
Happy New Year!
I understand you had a brief conversation with Patrick regarding the entry to St. Mary and wanted to follow up
with a few notes for clarification. I have copied Building and Engineering on this note to keep everyone in the
loop.
We are planning to submit for a building permit for the interior remodel on January 12th; since the
remodel disturbs more than 50% of the building, we are required to bring the property up to current city
codes in terms of sidewalks, storm mater management, accessibility, and drainage.
o We have coordinated extensively with the Engineering, Parks, and Building Departments to
make sure our design is vetted and approved prior to submitting for permit.

The current landing around the entry stairs does not meet city codes; the drainage system is faulty and
creates puddles in the summer and ice dams in the winter. In coordination with the Engineering
Department, SGM and CCA have designed a new landing that drains the water in a sheet from the
building to the street. This new configuration requires one less step and will be much safer than the
current situation. Since the stairs must be demolished to achieve the new drainage system, we propose
a larger landing and more welcoming presence. Please see attached drawings.
We are only proposing to revise the steps at the entry; the canopy will remain untouched as its design is
connected to the application for a future addition on the lawn. As we have yet to get final HPC
approval for that part of the project, we want to move the remodel portion of the project ahead as
swiftly as possible without involving HPC.
o Since we are revising non-historic steps, and not changing the canopy or any part of the historic
resource, it was our understanding that HPC need not weigh in on the design until the canopy
design is up for review at Final
Please let us know your thoughts and if we can provide any further illustration or information. We are available
for a meeting next week with Hailey as well.
