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