compliant and, if retained as-is, limits the use of the second floor to staff use only. The <br /> existing interior surfaces, flooring, trim, hardware, light fixtures, etc., would require repair <br /> and/or replacement. A more detailed assessment of the interior finishes and materials <br /> would be completed during the design and development phase of the project. <br /> Selected Floor Plan Option E <br /> Staff presented two interior renovation options to the PRC on July 14, 2022: Option B and <br /> Option E. (See Attachment 6, July 14, 2022, PRC Meeting, Item 4) Both options include <br /> the following: demolishing the "staff' room and incorporating the previous functions <br /> elsewhere on the first floor; establishing the bridal room on the first floor in the "living <br /> room" with the fireplace; reconstructing the restrooms to provide a minimum of one ADA <br /> accessible and one non-accessible restroom (both gender neutral) inside the house; <br /> widening doorway or openings on the first floor in key locations to meet minimum <br /> accessibility requirements; reconstructing the exterior ramp to meet minimum accessibility <br /> requirements and replacing damaged deck material and railings. Option B proposes <br /> demolition of the interior wall between the existing "dining room" and "kitchen" to <br /> accommodate a large second program space on the first floor similar in size to the <br /> existing main living room. The catering kitchen and additional restrooms would be in a <br /> newly constructed "outbuilding" behind the existing house. All other existing interior <br /> wall locations would remain. <br /> Based on comments received from the neighborhood, City Council and PRC regarding <br /> a proposed "outbuilding" at the rear of the house for a catering kitchen and restrooms <br /> at the June 2021 joint workshop, staff explored other cost-saving options to eliminate <br /> construction of an outbuilding due to costs associated with constructing a new <br /> building, and the removal of more mature trees on-site. By eliminating the outbuilding, <br /> the catering kitchen and restroom facilities would need to be fully incorporated within <br /> the existing house, thereby reducing the total occupancy or program space. Instead of <br /> demolishing the wall between the existing "dining room" and "kitchen" to accommodate <br /> a larger second program space on the first floor, the existing wall would remain in <br /> place and the existing kitchen space reconfigured into a catering kitchen. Additionally, <br /> the second floor would be closed off to the public and used for storage as adequate <br /> restroom facilities cannot be located inside the house to accommodate the additional <br /> occupancy. The existing stairway would not need to be reconstructed with the second <br /> floor closed off to the public. The Option E floor plan is included as Attachment 10 to <br /> this report. <br /> Total occupancy for the house would be limited to a maximum of 50 individuals since <br /> only two restrooms could be accommodated inside the house. The ability to increase <br /> occupancy for special events, such as weddings or receptions, would be possible <br /> through the use of portable restrooms (i.e., porta potties) and off-site parking, provided <br /> by the applicant as part of a facility rental agreement. <br /> After hearing the presentation and public comments, the PRC selected and <br /> recommended Option E as presented by staff. <br /> Page 8 of 8 <br />
