An Alternative Proposal to Save St. Paul’s Presented to the Garden City Board of Trustees By the Committee to Save St. Paul’s & The Garden City Historical Society 6/29/2010

A reasonable and affordable plan to preserve St. Paul’s for public use

Why Save St. Paul’s? Most significant real estate in GC Ruled by the courts a “public trust” Cost to average taxpayer for demo approx $120/yr What does Village get in return? DEIS states – “Unless the Proposed Action were abandoned, there would be an unavoidable “significant adverse impact” on Historic resources Aesthetic resources Community character Cluett Hall More consultant $$

Our Mission To develop a reasonable, realistic and affordable plan for preservation of St. Paul’s under the following conditions: – Maintain public control – Stabilize the building – Preserve historic features where possible – Public use within the building – Prove financially acceptable to majority – Full compliance with Village Building Code – Annual cost to average taxpayer no greater than demo

Outline of Plan Building turned over to Conservancy Board composition to reflect entire Village Conservancy issues 15-year bonds Bonds backed by lease payments from Village Basic Plan = $8,000,000 (same as demo +) Provision for operating costs = $2,000,000 Total = $10,000,000 Annual cost to taxpayer less than or equal to demo

Resources Employed Hired Bill Sullivan, formerly of Sullivan and Nickel – Respected building consultant – Intimately familiar with building – Limit basic plan to $8 million Consulted with public finance experts and experts in municipal law Hired architect well-versed in historic preservation and code compliance Consulted with The Garden City Historical Society and other community groups

Our Plan Complete preservation of exterior of building – Roof, windows, pointing and masonry where necessary Fire protection and sprinklers throughout the building Hazmat abatement Rehabilitation of major rooms on first floor Rehabilitation of the chapel Seal off upper floors for possible future use Full compliance with all building codes – – The Existing Building Code of NYS, 2007 (EBC) – The Building Code of NYS, 2007 (BC) – The Fire Code of NYS, 2007 (FC) – All other applicable documents
