STANDARDS <br />Part 2 <br />D. Demolition <br />Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a <br />landmark poses a. threat to the public safely, and <br />demolition i s the only alternative, documentation by way <br />of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive <br />methods should be made of both the exterior and interior <br />of the landmark. <br />RECOMMENDATIOhl <br />A review of The South Bend School Corporation requests and <br />the Supplemental Report suggests the following conclusions: <br />Item a - That they do not need the building appears to <br />be supportable with the current student population <br />prof ec t i ions.. However, not "needing" a landmark building <br />does not constitute a. strong enough reason to demolish it. <br />Item b - The issue of the Vo-Tec and Powerplant <br />buildings sites providing adequate parking spaces is not <br />supported; page u of the Supplemental Report indicates 145 <br />parking spaces with the buildings remaining and only 149 <br />spaces if the buildings are removed. <br />Item c - The concept of creating a new entry on the west <br />side of the Central High School building was approved at the <br />previous_. meeting. <br />Item d - The aesthetic and historic value of the Central <br />High School buildings have already been determined through <br />the process of landmark des.i gnat i on and National Register <br />status. <br />Item e - The economic feasibility or hardship created by <br />requiring the maintenance of these buildings on site is <br />explored in the Supplemental Report. It is estimated that <br />the cost of mothballing the Vo-Ter_ building is approximately <br />$302,185.00 minus demolition cost of $48,000, and landscape <br />and parking lot development cost of $17,000, equaling <br />approximately $235,000.00, with a total project cost of <br />approximately 7.5 million. <br />$2 :5,000.00 would seem to be a feasible figure to <br />preserve 22,000 square feet of useable space. <br />Therefore, the question becomes whether $255,000 out of <br />a 7.5 million project is an economic hardship? <br />($255,000/$7,500,000 is. approximately 1/30 of the project <br />costs.) Staff finds that the figures do not present <br />conclusive evidence of economic hardship. <br />
