I have reviewed the information submitted for the above - referenced proposal and I have the following
comments related to impacts on the Entrance Corridor and historic resources.
Regarding the Entrance Corridor:
The existing structures on site are not visible from the EC during the summer months. Visibility may
increase during the winter months and elements of the proposed could be visible from the EC. Limited
information has been provided regarding the appearance of the proposed buildings, but it is anticipated
that the buildings can be designed to meet the EC Guidelines.
Regarding historic resources:
Information in the files of the Department of Historic Resources indicates that the property was
surveyed in 1988. At that time it was informally determined to be not eligible for listing in the National
Register. Twenty years has passed since that survey was completed. It is recommended that an
architectural historian be hired to complete an updated survey and that the Department of Historic
Resources (DHR) be asked to make a new determination regarding eligibility. If it is determined that
the property is eligible, it is recommended that DHR be asked to make a determination regarding the
impact of the proposed development on eligibility. If the property is determined eligible, it will be
recommended that the development be designed in a way that does not jeopardize its eligibility for
listing on the register.
