The long range planning committee is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of our beloved structures.
Recap of LRPC Update during 9.2.19 Fall Membership Meeting
Long Range Planning Committee –Tom Scannell
Tom Scannell, Concerns to address:
Doug Stork, Architect prepared concept ideas in plan and elevation form. They were displayed and handouts were provided.
1. Fireplace Room structural issues and deteriorating rear wall
2. Structure of the club (which was built in 1935)
3. Inefficient kitchen
4. Bathroom upgrades required on both levels
Three items we don’t have: project cost, financing plan, and timeline
Ray Gauthier presented highlights of concept ideas
1. Read names of those involved with previous renovations and noted that every twenty years or so a renovation/addition has been needed and undertaken. The last renovation/addition was in 1998 twenty one years ago and we are due for another.
2. Distributed history of club – also to be put on website
3. All professionals retained to review the building recommended tearing the building down and building a new structure, but the LRP committee feels that our club is a legacy building and as such, the goal should be preservation through renovation and addition.
4. It was noted that the necessary renovation work would retain many of the legacy parts of the existing building, trusses, liquor lockers, wormy chestnut paneling, deck railing design to name a few and it will be more expensive than a simple new drywalled building.
5. A link on the website will be provided for all members to communicate with the LRPC.
6. All members were encouraged to comment on the proposed plans
