42 <br />relocation and restoration is dependent on funds allocated to the Rogers Road <br />Neighborhood as part of the overall remediation plan. <br />Blake Moving Company, Inc. presented an estimate of $740,499 to relocate the Hogan - <br />Rogers home to Purefoy Drive. Habitat has determined that the first two lots in the <br />Phoenix Place subdivision, which are at the corner of Purefoy Drive and Edgar Street, <br />would be the best site 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 the structure is sound, some repairs <br />need to be made after it is moved, and there will not be any issues with the relocation of <br />the 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. <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 />4,000 Sq. Ft. with an estimated construction budget of $750,000. Habitat's support for <br />the community center will be contingent on a commitment of funding allocated to the <br />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 <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 />10 <br />
