15 <br /> Blake Moving Company, Inc. presented an estimate of $740,499 see Estimated <br /> presented to Rogers Road Task Force below, for the relocation of the Hogan-Rogers <br /> home to Purefoy Drive. Habitat has determined that the first two lots in the Phoenix <br /> Place subdivision, which are at the corner of Purefoy Drive and Edgar Street, would be <br /> the best location for the relocation of the structure. Blake presented examples of <br /> historical structures that the company has successfully moved. <br /> Blake's assessment of the historic home is that structure is sound, some repairs need to <br /> be made after it is moved, and there will not be any issues with the relocation of the <br /> home. An architect/engineer will have to be engaged to design the foundation of the <br /> relocated structure and remodeling of the interior of the home. <br /> St. Paul A.M.E. Church is completing the permitting and compliance phase of the <br /> project and anticipates getting through that process by late fall. The Church will go <br /> through the bidding process to select a site work contractor probably in late <br /> August/early September. The site work would start the latter part of the year depending <br /> on the weather. The phasing for building and construction for the buildings will not start <br /> until the first of the next year at the earliest. <br /> The Church will work with the Rogers Road Neighborhood to relocate the Hogan- <br /> Rogers House. Gloria Shealy, Project Manager has requested a timeline to relocate to <br /> the adjacent site. Because the Church is anxious to begin construction as soon as <br /> possible, time is of the essence to relocate the Hogan-Rogers House. <br /> Construction of a New Facility: <br /> If it is not feasible or practicable to move and restore the Hogan-Rogers House, the <br /> Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force is investigating the possibility of <br /> constructing a new Community Center on the two lots donated by Habitat for Humanity. <br /> Habitat will support the construction of a new facility if the facility is used as a center for <br /> neighborhood programs and activities. The donated site could support a facility of up to <br /> 3,000 Sq. Ft. with an estimated budget of $500,000. Habitat's support for the community <br /> center will be contingent on a commitment of funding allocated to the Rogers Road <br /> Neighborhood to complete the project. <br /> A proposed community center must meet NC State Building Code and obtain a Building <br /> Permit. The Town of Chapel Hill advises consulting an architect/design professional on <br /> the cost and specific code requirements. In addition, the site layout must receive zoning <br /> approval and meet the Chapel Hill Land Use Management Ordinance requirements <br /> regarding site layout and process. <br /> 11 <br />
