ANC 2B furthers its\u2019 opposition because the applicant did not communicate this request with that of the neighbors impacted by this request, had not reviewed the bylaws of the condominium, and had not communicated this request to the condominium board.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n HPRB Application HPA #14-530 for construction at 1772 Church St (St Thomas Church) (2B07) Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B acknowledges the applicants\u2019 engagement of the community the last six months prior to their submission to Historic Preservation Review Board, and that they have engaged the community in four full community town-hall style meetings and 31 individual and small group meetings;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B acknowledges that St. Thomas Parish has been a member of the Dupont Circle community since 1894, and the Parish has been a critical ally and supporter of the gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual community, and whereas, the Parish provides space for other community groups as well as serving as a polling location at election time, and that this development will further strengthen the ability to support the St Thomas Parish and our community;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B acknowledges that since 1970, when the Gothic revival church was burned to the ground by an arsonist, the congregation has made the best out of an horrific situation, moved into the Parish Hall which was never meant to be a house of worship, and is not an ADA-accessible structure and therefore hinders the ability of the Church to serve the community;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B acknowledges that the intent of the Church is to rebuild a proper sanctuary on the grounds of their former sanctuary, which will build upon and strengthen their religious community as well as their commitment to providing services to the Dupont Circle community;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B has been involved in the dialogue within the community over the last six months;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B acknowledges that the applicant has worked hard to address the concerns of the residents with several design changes, and with decreasing the residential component by 6,000 square feet;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B recommends support of the design concept;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B has concerns regarding the organization to how the massing of the two components, being that of the Church and of the residential component should have a strong and cohesive massing;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B has concerns regarding to the various fa\u00e7ade materials represented for the Church St. facade, for the residential component;<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B seeks guidance from the Historic Preservation Review Board regarding the matter of an appropriate loading dock area along the alley, while not a common article for the Board to review, ANC 2B would appreciate design guidance on this matter; and<\/p>\n Whereas,<\/strong>\u00a0ANC 2B looks to the Historic Preservation Review Board for guidance regarding the appropriateness of the massing and fa\u00e7ade, so that this project can be an appropriate and suitable addition to the Dupont Circle community.<\/p>\n Therefore,<\/strong>\u00a0be it resolved that ANC 2B recommends support of this project with the Historic Preservation Review Board addressing the foregoing matters of massing and building materials for the Church St. fa\u00e7ade of the residential building.<\/p>\n \n Other Finance\/Treasurer Items (if any); Pro-rate Daniel Pay.
