Since that time, the parish began a capital campaign to raise money for construction of this new facility and have raised over half of the necessary funds for construction. Current thinking is to begin construction in the summer of 2003. We have worked closely with the parish to fine tune the facility needs and are now presenting our final plans to you along with the Civil Engineering documents by Ayres Associates and a current traffic study by Matt Delich. The plan for expansion includes approximately 32,000 sf of new space ( approx. 12,000 sf of parish center including parish hall, kitchen, meeting rooms, and storage..... approx. 13,000 sf of classrooms, bathrooms, offices, and circulation..... approx. 7,000 sf of basement including a youth center and storage areas.) The difference between the conceptual review presentation and these square footages are mainly the addition of the basement space for youth and additional basement and main level spaces for storage. A 24' x 36' garage structure is being proposed as tucked into the hillside on the notheast corner of the existing parking lot. This should faciltate maintenance equipment and machines in a much tidier fashion. St. Elizabeth Seton's current facility is a multi -purpose building which, along with the temporary modular, facilitate all of the parish functions including mass services, parish gatherings, parish dinners, religious education, administration services, group meetings, and other similar uses. The new parish center as proposed would accomodate all of these same uses in a more spacious and less stressful manner. Upon completion of the new parish center, the existing facility would then be remodeled into the permanent sanctuary while mass services could be held temporarily in the new parish center. Traffic generation upon completion of the new parish center should be very much the same as current traffic conditions at the existing site. The only new functions which may generate any additional traffic not currently existing are the addition of several new religious ed classes currently hid off -site (evenings) and the ability to have wedding receptions following a wedding ( weekends). Any additional traffic incurred by these new events would occur at "off - peak" traffic times and should not be an impact on existing key intersections as outlined in the new traffic study. If you recall, three years ago an amendment to the existing PUD was built which included a new fully landscaped parking lot tucked into the hill which almost doubled the existing parking capacity. This was in response to the already overcrowded conditions at that time and designed and located in anticipation of the new parish center. Back during the time of adding the additional parking, a design decision was made that any new construction should occur as an extension along the hill of varying height connected structures, all of which would be lower than the existing structure. This would have the least impact on neighbors' views and, as viewed from Lemay, would appear more as a European "hillside town" as opposed to one massive building. Materials utilized on the new parish center would be stucco, stone, heavy timbers, and metal roofs, all complementary with the existing facility and its Romanesque character. If you have any questions or request any additional information regarding this project, please feel free to call. _ Sincerely, _ ohnJ.
