DATE: August 14, 1995
TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request to consider an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to
construct an addition, which includes a narthex and classrooms, to Bethlehem
Lutheran Church at 777 N. Fourth Street.
FILE: CA-121
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Director recommends approval of this request.
The Bethlehem Lutheran Church wishes to make improvements to its present facility
by adding a narthex between the two existing buildings and additional classrooms to
the west. The exterior of the addition will be covered with matching brick. The entry
wall of the narthex will consist of tinted glass with aluminum frames. When funds are
available, the tinted glass will be replaced with stained glass. The classroom addition
will have tinted windows with bronzed anodized aluminum frames. The roof will be
covered with matching composition shingles.
This addition required variances of the setback requirements along Fourth Street and
the rear. The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved these variances on March 2,
1995.
Exhibits are attached.
