Note: The hearing today, June 6th, is to determine the appropriateness of the designs submitted for the Mordecai Visitors' Center. The RHDC guidelines are the official document by which the designs are supposed to be judged. If, at today's hearing, the designs are determined to be appropriate, a COA (Certificate of Appropriateness) will be issued for the designs. This is to let everyone know about the Certificate of Appropriateness hearing for the Mordecai Interpretive Center coming up on Monday, June 6th. The architects will be presenting plans for the new 2900 s.f. building being proposed for the park. Here are links to drawings of the designs that have been submitted: ( links point to the www.rhdc.org website or see screenshots below ) Mordecai 1 Mordecai 2 Mordecai 3 Mordecai 4 The Historic Districts Commission will review these designs at the COA hearing this Monday afternoon at 4:00, Room 305 of the Upchurch Municipal Building at 222 W. Hargett St. (across from Nash Square). It is the second (and last) application on the agenda. The Commission will judge the application according to the RHDC guidelines, which you can find at: http://rhdc.org/LocalHistoricDistrictLandmarkServices/DesignReview/tabid/105/Default.aspx The guidelines relating to new construction in a historic district are found in Section 4.3, which describes how new construction should be compatible with the distinctive character of the district setting and buildings.
