COURT HOUSE PLAZA - MINOR DEVELOPMENT Tom Newland represented the Court House: We are hoping to place a window well in the court house plaza which we purchased. We are looking to add light and availability for ventilation to make the Housing Office habitat desirable. We are here to request approval. We tried to utilize the existing architectural styles of the building as we have the arched window up on top and we replicated the arched window down below. We are also trying to match the iron fencing that you see around the court house. The code requires it as the drop is more than 30 inches. The project will be about $17,000. We may have a radon problem and the ventilation is necessary. The window well will be between the two abutments that are next to the entrance. We have done some interior remodeling also. The window well will act as a break between two entrances. Karen: Why did you choose the depth that you did. Tom: To provide as much light and ventilation as possible. Amy: I feel 7 1/2 feet might be a massive feature on that building. Donnelley: It does step down. Tom: We wanted to start at an abutment and end at one. Also there will be a traffic flow through the area and the curved fencing works better. Historic Preservation Committee Minutes of October 25, 1993 Donnelley: I believe that the semicircular configuration is much more appropriate for this building and much less obtrusive to the impact of pedestrians.
