Because the building has been placed on the <br /> state study list for nomination to the National Register of Historic <br /> • Places and CDBG funds will be used, the project is subject to Section 106 <br /> of the National Historic Preservation Act and the regulations of the <br /> Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. <br /> In general, • the proposed plans meet the Secretary of the Interior's <br /> Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic <br /> Buildings. There are, however, a few items which we feel need additional <br /> consideration or should be carried out before any work is undertaken. <br /> These items are: <br /> Treatment of the fire truck bays. <br /> • <br /> Placement of the kitchen exhaust. <br /> Placement of the handicapped ramp and the possible incorporation <br /> of steps up to the entrance. <br /> Handling of the dropped ceiling around the first floor windows. <br /> • <br /> Photographic documentation of existing conditions. <br /> If in developing final plans for the project, the town will continue to <br /> work with our staff on these items, then we are of the opinion that the <br /> proposed undertaking will meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards <br /> 109 East Jones Street•Raleigh,Na <br /> a ' <br /> B , nhCarolina 27611 <br /> (919)733-7305 <br />
