RE: Consultant Analysis – Preservation/Demolition of 1913/1930s New Canaan Library Building

Dear Ms. Avni:

Attached please find my report which addresses the questions and issues put forth in the document I received from you entitled ‘Consultant Analysis’. As discussed, my task was to review the New Canaan Library’s (NCL) P & Z application and the New Canaan Preservation Alliance’s (NCPA) materials, and to act as a neutral unbiased resource for the P&Z Commission to help them understand the ‘Pros & Cons’ of saving/demolishing the old 1913 Library and 1930s addition.

Site Visit & Building Review

On Friday May 14,2021, David Goslin, architect, and principal of Crosskey Architects, toured the site and 1913/1930s portions of the building to review existing conditions. He found the building to be in very good condition and well maintained with few areas of concern. A brief outline of conditions is as follows:

Exterior

Roof Shingles and EPDM – good condition

Masonry – very good condition, minor areas need spot repointing of mortar Windows & Doors – very good condition

Wood trim, portico, roof overhang and eaves ‐ very good condition Rain Leaders – very good condition

Paint – good condition, spot areas need touch‐up, repainting needed within 3‐5 years

Interior

Good condition but depending future user needs, may need reconfiguration or replacement

Structural Condition

Very good condition, foundations are in excellent condition and no problems were observed

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing

Utility services & equipment – replace once additions are removed

System distribution & fixtures ‐ Good condition but depending future needs, may need reconfiguration or replacement

Response to Consultant Analysis Task Letter Questions

• Review of NCL & NCPA Cost Estimates
  • Review the materials (including plans and narrative) submitted by the Library and determine whether the costs provided are an accurate reflection of the proposed cost to rehabilitate the 1913 and/or to demolish the structure. – NCL’s estimate makes some good points about planning a budget and cushioning it for unknowns that can arise during the development of the project. When planning a project, scope expansion can occur as a normal process as more information becomes known and problems/approaches to construction are thought out. Also, discoveries of unforeseen conditions can occur during project planning. It is good practice to develop early project estimates with adequate budgetary safety factors to prevent financial shortfall later in the project. However, NCL’s estimate is too high, has too much cushion to be realistic and lacks enough detail to support it. Refer to my estimate, Attachment A.
  • Review the materials submitted by the New Canaan Preservation Alliance and determine whether the costs provided are an accurate reflection of the proposed work to bring the 1913 building up to current code and make it habitable space for rent. – NCPA’s estimate is a more accurate estimate of the cost for renovating the 1913/1930s building. It lacks detail and specificity on the actual costs and amount of budgetary cushion included. Refer to my estimate, Attachment A.
  • Determine if the cost of abatement provided by the Library is the same whether they preserve or demolish the 1913 building. – Generally, costs of abatement of most common types of hazardous materials are approximately the same for total building demolition or building preservation. A general overview is as follows:
    • Cultural Benefits
      • provides a sense of place, community pride and identity distinct from other places
      • maintains stylistic diversity to New Canaan’s Architecture
      • maps or references the Town’s history of land development over time
      • part of the Town’s local heritage connecting us to the past creating a sense of community
      • association with significant events, activities and people
      • exemplifies period building techniques and materials that were used.
      • Meets/satisfies most of the POCD goals
      • provides an opportunity for study & learning through tangible embodiment of past design, construction materials and techniques
      • provides a reference for study on influences on present day
      • Improves property values
      • Provides stabilization and growth
      • Enhances cultural tourism to town center
      • Creates construction jobs
      • Adds rentable sf to town center
      • Potential to secure investment from outside of town
      • Potential for positive income stream
      • Potential to add to the Town’s the tax base
      • Reduces cost of the new library – demolition and dumping savings
      • Produces income for NCL if the building were sold to a private entity
      • furthers environmental sustainability – preserves resources, reduces waste generation/landfill
      • furthers smart growth ‐ buildings on the street, reinforcing a more urban ‘pedestrian friendly’ streetscape
  • Outline the costs (a range is helpful) to retrofit the 1913 building – See Attachment A for my scope and cost estimate. It is possible to preserve the building for less than the total estimate by just addressing the exterior shell scope of work, structural improvements and basic HVAC needs. Also, my estimate envisions a simple basic interior fit‐out, which could change depending on a specific tenant’s or user’s needs. Often, the tenant fit‐out of a building’s interior is financed by the tenant, so it should not impact the costs of my estimate.

Determine if the costs would be different if the 1913 building were to remain and only used for back of house facilities storage and maintenance. – The costs for the building exterior would be the same regardless of the interior use of the building. The cost of interior improvements is almost solely dependent on the reuse of the building. If it was used for storage, the only improvements necessary would be for modified MEP systems. Conversely, for an office, retail or restaurant use, significant interior changes and improvement would be required and desired by the new occupant. Often the cost of interior improvements to suit specific occupants are factored into the financial ‘deal’, the cost of which is born by the tenant/occupant through increased rent, mortgage, or cash contribution.

Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) – For total building demolition, all ACM must be abated as hazardous materials prior to building demo. If the building is to be preserved and reused, all ACM should be abated and removed. There may be some instances where ACMs such as tile, mastics, plaster, etc. could remain if encapsulated. Although encapsulation saves money initially, it usually increases building maintenance and renovation costs for the future.

Lead Based Paint (LBP) – for most building occupancies the presence of LBP does not present a problem. LBP poses a particular hazard to children under age 6, so if a building will be used by that age group, minimally encapsulation is required but complete removal is strongly recommended. LBP is a problem for that age group if they ingest it and it gets into their

RE: Consultant Analysis

bloodstream. This can happen by eating paint chips, chewing on LBP surfaces, or inhaling lead dust which could be present from wear surfaces such as operable wood window sashes, wood doors and frames, cabinet drawers, etc. If abated during demo or construction, there are 2 aspects to consider:

Worker protection – this is required for both building demo or preservation. The cost is generally the same for either project.

Material Disposal ‐ if the building is demolished, and general construction debris can be mixed appropriately in dumpsters so the TCLP (Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure) tests do not have too high a concentration of LBP, disposal of LBP adds no cost to the project. If the building is preserved, LBP items can be encapsulated adding little or no cost to the project, or they can be fully abated. Removed LBP must be captured and disposed of as hazardous materials, adding cost to a project. LBP items may also be demoed and replaced in kind. Demoed material can be treated as general construction debris pending passing TCLP tests.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) – The cost of abating PCB’s is the same for building demo vs. preservation. If PCBs are found to be present in existing materials, they must be abated appropriately. When this testing occurs can have a significant impact on abatement costs.

Soil Contamination ‐ The cost of managing soil contamination is generally the same for building demo vs. preservation. Depending on the type of contamination it may be allowed to remain on site or may have to be removed. In rare instances contamination could occur under a building, which if removal of soil from site is required, could add cost and complexity to a preservation project.

B. Recommendation/Feasibility of Preservation

1. Review of material submitted by the Library

‐ it is feasible to preserve the 1913 building in situ? ‐ yes, it is possible to save the 1913 Library in its current location at reasonable cost and limited impact to the proposed new library.

‐ is the 1913 building considered intact? – It is not 100% of what it originally was when it was built in 1913 and 1930s, but most of the original building is present and many of its character defining features such as the building’s form and design, exterior envelope and materials (stone, brick, windows, trim), front portico, interior wall painting, wood flooring (under the carpet) still exist. Also, 50% of the south wall and most of the west wall appear to be present based on a comparison of the current and original floor plans. In my opinion the building has enough character defining features left to make it culturally, educationally, economically, and environmentally beneficial to the Town and is therefore ‘intact’.

‐have any parts have been removed and/or replaced with modern materials? – Yes, some of the original elements have been removed over the course of the building’s life.

Synthetic Roof slates have replaced what was probably original slate roofing. Front portico columns are reported to be fiberglass replicas of the original wood columns. Half of the South wall was removed when the 1979 addition was added. Many of the interior walls, doors and

trim were removed. Some of the interior features, like the wood flooring, have been covered. A new steel and concrete stair leads to the basement in the approximate location of the original stair.

‐is the building worth preserving? –Yes. The building retains many of its character defining features, is in very good condition and provides many benefits listed below in item #2, ‘Pros’.

‐ If yes, clarify what would be required to preserve the building. – See Attachment A for my scope and cost estimate.

2. Provide pros and cons of preserving the 1913 library building in place:

Pros:

f) has unique characteristics that can be difficult to replicate in new buildings.

2) Educational Benefits

3) Economic Benefits

4) Environmental Benefits

5/19/21

Cons:

• Cultural

a. Reduces the new ‘Town Green’ size, reducing the size of seasonal outdoor events

2) Economic

3) Environmental –

C. Opinion of Scope of Work & Cost of preservation

Annual Maintenance & Operating Costs – Annual maintenance and operating costs vary and are dependent on the new use/occupancy of the building. For example, given the same building, a storage use costs less to maintain and operate than a restaurant use.

Maintenance and operating costs for the same use in a new building vs. a newly renovated building are approximately the same. One exception could be that the utility costs are higher in and older building. But if the building is newly renovated the building envelope can be thermally improved and new energy efficient equipment added minimizing or eliminating a difference in energy usage.

Maintenance and Operating expenses can be incorporated into the lease rate, recuperated, or paid directly by tenant/occupant and may include the following:

• Utilities – gas, water, phone/internet and electricity.
• Daily Maintenance ‐ costs to keep the building functioning, maintained & clean
• Professional building management fees.
• Property taxes
• Costs of supplies, landscaping, cleaning, and janitorial services.
• Insurance premiums and deductibles.
• Labor costs, legal fees, and accountant fees.
  • If demolished, can the 1913/1930s Library be somehow memorialized? – If the old library is demolished, a memorial could be designed to recall the building’s location or some aspect(s) of the building, like its history, significance, materials, etc. The success, strength and meaning of a memorial will depend on the creativeness and quality of the design and its ability to keep remembrance of the old library alive. But in the end, it’s just a memorial and does not embody the meaning, cultural and educational value of the historic building.

Preservation/Demolition of 1913/1930s New Canaan Library Building

5/19/21

Long term maintenance costs for items such as exterior painting, reroofing, equipment replacement, etc. must be budgeted for annually based on the long‐term life cycle of the items and their eventual replacement costs. For the 1913/1930s Building, based on its very good condition and planned renovations per Attachment A, I estimate the following life:

EPDM Roofing – 20 years Synthetic Roof Shingles – 20 years Stone & Brick – 100 years

Wood Windows – 50 years Wood Trim & Cornices ‐ 50 years Exterior Paint – 8 years

Interior items – these will change with each building tenant/user MEP Systems – 20 years

2. Estimate the costs to move the building. Outline typical anticipated relocation scope of work.

– Moving the building to a new location greatly reduces the cultural value of the building. Its presence on its original site, in its original context has meaning as described above in ‘B.2 Pros’. By moving the building to a different site, the building loses some of its historical significance and cultural value. Estimated scope and cost for moving the building is included in Attachment B, which assumes moving to a nearby site. Costs can vary greatly depending on the new site’s location and number of obstacles along the travel path. The estimate does not include the cost of acquiring the new site.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the above or any further questions you may have on this matter. I hope I have been of some assistance in clarifying the issues. Thank you for this opportunity.

Sincerely,

William W. Crosskey II, AIA LEED AP Founder
