Nancy Gohlinghorst and Jack Templeton were present on behalf of Hope Cemetery Association. Members asked where storage of lawn equipment will be if the building is demolished. Mr. Templeton said storage of lawn equipment can either be at his home, which is nearby, or other property he owns. Ms. Gohlinghorst and Mr. Templeton stated that if this is approved, the contractor that is demolishing building for the new library across the street may come over and demolish this structure. The demolition cost is unknown. They plan on saving some pieces of the structure and storing them for possible incorporation into a future structure. They stated they were told the fencing would be the same fencing that is being installed on the property of the new library. They were not sure of the height of the fencing, but they were told it would be wrought iron and installed along the length of South Academy St. It was mentioned that if the Landmark Commission approves the Certificate of Appropriateness, they would still need to obtain a demolition permit and a fence permit. The fence would also still have to meeting local zoning requirements in regards to height and installation. Member Klohn moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness with the condition the fencing will be black wrought iron as indicated in their application, seconded by member Sugai.
