BARN DESCRIPTION The Barn is a two-level wood and concrete structure built on its present site in 1908; it is the last remaining structure on its original site from Avon’s earliest ranching days when the land was used to raise cattle to supply meat to the bustling county seat in Red Cliff and the many mining camps on Battle Mountain. The Barn has been in continual use, from 1908 to the early-1970’s, by ranchers for livestock on the lower level and hay drying and storage on the upper level and, from early-1970’s to today, for materials and equipment storage by ERWSD.

The Barn’s footprint is approximately 30-feet by 125-feet and, although it appears to be a bank barn, it is above ground on all four sides. The rough board-formed concrete of the lower level includes cobbles and sand likely collected by the original owners, Albert and Frances Hahnewald, from the nearby Eagle River. The upper walls are framed with dimensional lumber and finished on the exterior with unpainted, weathered board-and-batten siding. A long gabled roof, with three boxed ventilators and a clipped gable on the west end to allow for hay-carrying, covers the building; the current metal standing-seam roofing was installed by ERWSD in more recent decades to replace the original wood shakes.

Exhibit 1 provides the Historical Documentation and Field Analysis of the Hahnewald Barn, which describes the history and significance of the Barn.

PROJECT APPROACH The Barn, currently located on ERWSD property, must be removed before April 2019 to make that site available for an expansion of ERWSD’s wastewater treatment facility.

1. Retain Architectural and Engineering (A&E) Firm

An A&E firm will be retained to: a. Assist and oversee the dismantling and storage of the Barn. The selected firm will be contracted

with prior to Barn dismantling and storage, to document any information needed during the design phases, including prior to relocation, obtaining all necessary as-built information required to design the repurposing of the Barn, and to determine any materials which are deteriorated and must be replaced.

b. Develop pre-design options for preserving the history of the Barn, including site development. c. Once the preferred design option is selected by the Town Council, develop schematic plan,

complete the development design and provide construction documents and construction administration, pending Town Council approval of each phase.

d. The project will include the demolition of the existing Town Hall and the relocation of the utilities serving the building to the relocated barn.

2. Barn Dismantling & Storage The Town Council has directed that a RFP for dismantling, labeling and storing the Barn be issued in June, with bids and storage completed prior to November 1, 2018. The Town will retain the Barn mover and provide the storage site in Avon. The Barn mover will be required to provide preconstruction services to the A&E firm, including cost estimating and cost containment.

3. Programming Report

The Town of Avon Town-Owned Properties Plan (“Properties Plan”) describes Tract G future uses, including educational, cultural, entrepreneurial and recreational, at the site. The Properties Plan for Tract G is available on the Town’s website.

The Town Council has directed staff, during the A&E RFP solicitation period, to facilitate a community engagement process to identify the multi-purpose uses and synergistic opportunities at Tract G. A steering committee will be organized, including membership from the Avon Historic Preservation Advisory Board, representatives from the Vail Centre, Avon Library, local event promoters, recreational users and other potential users of the Barn, Town Council and the Planning and Zoning, Special Events and Creative Founding Committee members. The Town will provide staff to manage the project including the Town Engineer, Planning Director, Town Manager and Special Events Manager.

The steering committee will provide community engagement outreach to fully assess the multi-use programming for Tract G and for the Barn. The Town will retain a consultant to assist in projecting revenue streams from the multi-use programming and financial model to project revenue recovery for the building’s operational and maintenance costs over time.

4 | P a g e

The programming meetings will commence in May, with a first assessment of the comprehensive multi-use programming report developed in August for Town Council review, with a final report planned at the time of design option selection.

4. Retain General Contractor Services Upon completion of the pre-design phase, the Town intends to solicit proposals for a General Contractor (GC) to:

a. Assist the A&E firm, with project cost estimating, cost containment and to provide and/or manage the Barn re-erection.

b. Bid and manage the demolition of the current Town Hall. The demolition of the Town Hall will occur, when needed to implement the Tract G plan. The Town Hall does contain some asbestos as summarized in the attached asbestos report (Exhibit 2).

The successful A&E firm will participate in the GC interview process insomuch as a close collaboration among all project professionals is essential.

5. Schedule The Project Schedule is provided below. The Town Council, as shown in the schedule, will authorize the initiation of each phase of design incrementally to manage schedule and costs. The schedule may be changed in the sole determination of the Avon Town Council. Impacts to the approved design fees due to Owner changes to the schedule will be negotiated.

SCOPE OF SERVICES The A&E Scope of Services includes:

1. Design and Engineering Elements Services will include architecture, landscape design, site design, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering and interior design. The design must anticipate multiple uses with respect to acoustical treatment, audio and video supporting infrastructure and similar requirements. The A&E team will also assist the Town in selecting furniture, equipment and fixtures for the Barn.

2. Pre-Design Options The Town Council is committed to preserving the history of the Barn. Over the past five months, the Town evaluated relocation of the Barn to Tract G. The work prepared by the Town consultants is provided in Exhibit 3, Schematic Plan. Upon reviewing the work, the Town Council directed that preservation be evaluated to include a range of options, from the Schematic Plan repurposing to only the most representative element(s) of the Barn being retained for repurposing. For example, the pre-design options phase will include evaluating other preservation options, including but not

6 | P a g e

limited to repurposing the most architecturally significant elements of the Barn rather than reconstructing the entire expanse of the building. Options will include an examination of the existing Barn, and a programming and operation analysis.

The approved Programming Report will serve as the framework for the A&E design option development. The A&E firm will have an opportunity to provide feedback regarding the building programming, especially regarding the impacts the proposed programming will have on the building’s design.

The A&E firm will work with the steering committee and the Town to assess the array of preservation options. It is anticipated membership from the steering committee will develop into a working group to oversee the design of the Barn.

3. Disassembly and Temporary Storage of the Barn

Assist and oversee the dismantling and storage of the Barn. Document any information needed during the design phases, including prior to relocation, obtaining all necessary as-built information required to design the repurposing of the Barn, and to determine any materials which are deteriorated and must be replaced.

4. Schematic Design

Once the requirements of the pre-design and programming phase are complete, the design team will prepare schematic diagrams giving the general view of the site layout and building components. The purposes of the Proposal, the Schematic Design should be based upon the planning documents provided in Exhibit 3, including accessibility requirements. The A&E services contract may be amended based upon the option selected during the Pre-design phase. The goal of this phase is to get as accurate as possible cost estimating of the significant non-discretionary building systems and an appropriate estimate of the architectural elements. The Schematic Design will also be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission which operates as the Town’s design review for board for review, comment and eventually approval.

5. Design Development

Further refinement of the design and documentation to include adjustments based on the Schematic Design and cost estimate.

6. Construction Documentation

Preparation of working drawings describing in technical detail the construction contract work to be performed, including specifying materials, fixtures, fittings and equipment, quality of work and finishes required.

7. Assist with Retaining the Project General Contractor

Participate in reviewing proposals from General Contractors and interviewing as a member of the Town’s selection committee.

8. Construction Administration

To include participation and assistance during the Barn deconstruction and removal from the ERWSD property and include at least twice monthly site observation visits and jobsite meetings during the construction phase.

Subject: Historical Documentation & Field Analysis Hahnewald Barn, Avon, Colorado

Dear Clients,

In response to your recent request, I have completed the updated historical documentation and field analysis of the Hahnewald Barn. This large agricultural building, more than a century old, is now located on the property of the Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant in Avon, Colorado.

I first took a look at the Hahnewald Barn six years ago, although at that time I was not able to enter the property. The building had to be documented from adjacent areas that offered views, which resulted in a limited degree of architectural description and analysis. This time I was provided with full access to the barn. In addition, I have completed additional archival research on its history that was not possible due to previous cost constraints.

The results of my more comprehensive documentation and analysis are presented below.

Sincerely,

Ron Sladek President

Hahnewald Barn Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant

950 W. Beaver Creek Blvd. Avon, Colorado

Location, Setting, Use & Ownership

The Hahnewald Barn is located in the Town of Avon on the grounds of the Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant. This fenced complex is owned and operated by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, which launched development of the facility in the late 1960s. Access to the restricted site is by way of a narrow dead-end street known as Millie’s Lane that extends toward the southeast from W. Beaver Creek Blvd. After passing the LiftView Condominiums, the street ends at the entrance to the wastewater treatment plant.

The barn is located in the southwest corner of the wastewater treatment plant complex. This specific location correlates to the SE¼ of the SE¼ of the NE¼ of the NE¼ of Section 11, Township 5 South, Range 82 West. To the north, northeast and east are the buildings, parking lots, yards and landscaped areas that make up the wastewater treatment plant. Beyond the plant to the north are the historic Denver & Rio Grande Railroad corridor and Nottingham Lake. Constructed in 1887, the rail line remained in operation for over a century until it was placed out of use about twenty years ago. (see Figure 1: Site Location Map, on page 2)

The Eagle River corridor occupies the areas to the southeast, south and southwest of the barn. This provides the barn with what little remains of its original rural, sparsely developed setting. Running parallel to the river’s north bank and located just outside the wastewater treatment plant’s south fence line is the Eagle Valley Trail, a popular route for walking, running and biking. To the west and northwest of the barn are the LiftView Condominiums. (see Figure 2: Satellite Image of the Barn and its Surroundings, on page 2)

The Hahnewald Barn had a long history of use throughout much of the twentieth century as an agricultural building associated with the management of livestock. However, this use began to change by the early 1970s as the Avon area came under development and the adjacent wastewater treatment plant began to expand. For more than forty years, the plant’s managers and staff have used the building as a storage facility. It continues to serve this purpose today.

Description of the Barn

This large two-story, concrete and wood frame building rests upon a concrete foundation. Its rectangular footprint’s dimensions measure approximately 30’ from north to south x 125’ from east to west. While the building may first appear to be a bank barn, it is actually above ground on all four sides. The walls enclosing the main floor (lower level) are constructed of board-formed concrete that rises to a height of at least 6’ above grade. The rough concrete that was most likely mixed on site includes cobbles and sand that were probably collected from the adjacent grounds along the river. Above the concrete, the upper walls are framed with dimensional lumber and finished on the exterior with unpainted, weathered board-and-batten siding. All of the small windows on the building seem to have originally been four-light windows with wood frames.

A long gabled roof covers the building. This terminates with a large hip on the east and a smaller clipped gable on the west. The roof has been finished with metal standing-seam paneling that was installed in more recent decades to replace the original wood shakes. Open eaves with exposed rafter ends are present along the entire perimeter. Each rafter tail was finished with a curved lower edge for ornamentation. Three rectangular, boxed ventilators rise from the ridgeline. These are constructed of wood framing with board and batten siding on the east and west, and wood louvers on the north and south. Each ventilator has a gabled roof that is also finished with metal paneling.

North Side: The north side of the barn is both physically and visually impacted by the fact that the higher ground to the north slopes distinctly downward as it gets close to the building. This appears to be a non-historic grading modification to the site and is discussed below in relation to the building’s condition. The narrow space between the lower concrete wall and embankment was filled with snow during the current fieldwork, obscuring much of the wall from outside the building. Because of this, the features there had to be observed from the inside, where the storage of numerous items also obscured some areas from view.

What is apparent is that a pedestrian entrance in the lower level has long been out of use because it is inaccessible from the steep slope outside the building. This entry holds a deteriorated wood plank door with bracing on the inside. Also along the wall are three or four window openings that no longer hold the original windows but retain their wood surrounds.

A single entrance is located on the barn’s upper level near its northwest corner. This is reached by way of a dirt ramp that fills the steep slope below. In the entry is a large vertical wood plank sliding door that is hung from a metal rail inside the building. The wood threshold is deteriorated and the header above the entrance is arched. Two small window openings are present on the north wall. While the windows are gone and they are boarded closed, they retain their wood surrounds. Also present just below the eaves are six horizontal boards with bolts in the middle that retain the six internal tie rods that run through the building.

East Side: The east side of the barn is fully exposed to view and holds a single entry into the lower level. This is centered in the concrete wall and contains a pair of wood plank swinging doors, with the planks set on a diagonal. Flanking the entrance are two small window spaces that have been boarded closed but retain their wood surrounds. The tops of the concrete walls on either side of the entry are angled downward toward the corners of the building.

South Side: The south side of the barn is fully exposed to view but holds no entries. In the lower concrete wall are three window openings that have been boarded closed but retain their wood surrounds. Areas of the wall are deteriorated, with some sections entirely missing (more about this below in the condition section). It appears that there may have been a fourth window that is now gone. The upper wall has two small window spaces that are also boarded closed.

Along the upper board-and-batten wall are a few additional features. Several horizontal boards that run the length of the building mark where the roofs of wood frame shed additions were once attached. Just below the eaves are six short horizontal boards with bolts in the middle. As on the north side, these retain the six internal tie rods that run through the building. Toward the upper southwest corner is a horizontal board with a metal rail attached to the top. Hanging from this is a vertical board with a metal wheel at the top. Just below the horizontal board, the vertical board is bolted into the building, rendering it stationary. What this feature was used for is currently unclear.

Photo 3: South Side of the Barn

West Side: The west side of the barn is fully exposed to view and holds an entry into the lower level. This contains a pair of wood-plank swinging doors with horizontal planks and wood surrounds. A large non-historic wooden handicap access symbol has been attached to one of the doors. As on the east side, the concrete wall flanking the entry angles downward toward the building’s corners. On either side of the entrance are two small window spaces that are set into the concrete wall. While both of these are boarded closed, a modern fuse box and electric meter are mounted to the window near the southwest corner. Electrical conduit rises upward from this meter, piercing the wall at a point just below the eave. This provides power to the non-historic electric lights within the building.

EXHIBIT 1 6

The upper wall on this side of the building holds a large centered hayloft door that is constructed of vertical wood planks. This is braced with additional planking on the interior. Centered directly above the hayloft door is the end of the hay carrier rail, which projects from the roof’s clipped gable. This was constructed with a horizontal wood plank that supports the metal rail below. The Louden hay carrier, patented 1894, along with a 14’ section of rail from inside the building are now in the possession of Tamra Nottingham Underwood. (see photos in Appendix A) Two small windows are present in the upper wall of the barn. One holds the deteriorated frame of a four-light window and the other is boarded closed.

Photo 4: West Side of the Barn

Interior Features: The building’s lower level features a center aisle that runs the length of the barn. On either side of this to the north and south, the long spaces there may have originally been divided into livestock stalls or for other uses. Today these contain equipment and supplies stored by the wastewater treatment plant. Once cleared, closer inspection of the floor, walls and ceiling may reveal physical evidence of historic features and uses that are not currently apparent. Steel framing was installed in recent years in both the northern and southern areas to shore up the floor above and to address the deterioration of several segments of the exterior concrete wall along the south side of the building.

The lower level floor is of poured concrete, at least along the central aisle, and the flanking north and south areas appear to be dirt. Around fourteen heavy squared timber posts, many with chamfered vertical corners, flank the central aisle and run the length of the building. Horizontal timber beams rest atop the posts, and these support the upper floor joists above. Diagonal timbers placed at periodic intervals provide lateral support to the posts and beam system. These run from the beams down to the bases of the outer concrete walls. The ceiling in the lower level is relatively low and consists solely of the upper floor’s open joists. Graffiti is found on some of the posts, beams and doors toward the east end.

Photo 5: Lower Level of the Barn

The barn’s upper level is an expansive open room that runs from wall to wall and from the floor to the roof. With its unfinished walls and no ceiling, the building’s dimensional lumber framing is fully exposed to view. This area is used to store equipment and supplies associated with the adjacent wastewater treatment plant. The only modern intrusions include metal and wood shelving and a small area along the north wall where a couple of minimally framed rooms are located.

EXHIBIT 1 8

Bringing the Past to Life

The upper level floor consists of its original wood planks. A simple rectangular pattern of widely spaced studs connected by two horizontal bands of short boards, together with sill and roof plates, forms the simple framing system along the walls. Horizontal wood plank tie beams formerly ran between the upper north and south walls, providing additional structural stability to the building. These have been cut off and replaced with six horizontal metal tie rods with turnbuckles. The rods are mounted to the walls with the wood planks that are visible along the exterior just below the eaves. Toward the middle of the interior, metal rod hangers suspended from the roof structure support the tie rods from above.

The barn’s roof structure is light and without trusses, leaving the height of the space open for stacking hay. While the metal hayrail remains in place for a distance of about 5’ inside the west loft door, it terminates at that location. Presumably, the hay carrier once ran the entire length of the building. The roof rests upon the north and south exterior walls and is primarily formed of numerous rafters that meet at the gable peak with no ridge beam. Wood planks running the length of the building are attached to the outsides of the rafters to form the roof decking. These are clad on the exterior with the standing seam metal panels that are visible from outside the barn.

A series of diagonal wood plank braces provide stability to the roof. These rest upon the roof plates at the tops of the north and south walls. From there they extend upward at a steep angle, attaching to the rafters at about their midpoint. Short horizontal boards with a slight incline connect the braces to the lower ends of the rafters just above the roof plates. Horizontal wood plank collar ties connect the upper lengths of the rafters to one another below the ridgeline, spanning the space from north to south. These are strengthened with a single band of horizontal boards that run the length of the building atop the collar ties. Vertical boards also connect every other collar tie to the upper rafter ends at the ridgeline above.

Grounds Around the Building: Unpaved grounds of varying dimensions surround the barn in all directions. To the north the ground slopes steeply upward from the long base of the building to the paved parking lot above. This narrow area is landscaped with grass, rocks, and several Aspen trees. The deep space at the base of the slope is filled with snow throughout the winter months. A short dirt ramp is present outside the barn’s north entrance near its northwest corner. This connects the parking lot to the barn’s upper level, and appears to be original to the building, suggesting that a ramp has always been located there. Beyond these features to the north are the paved parking lot and driveway, along with the wastewater treatment plant to the northeast.

The ground just east of the building is at the level of the lower entrance. Two modern stacked concrete block walls with metal fencing on top rise a few yards to the east, one above the other. These run from north to south and form a terrace that encloses the small area outside the barn. Above the walls, the higher ground to the east is occupied by a gassed yard and a building associated with the wastewater treatment plant.

The yard area south of the barn is unpaved and partially filled with piles of sand and gravel that are located against the building’s concrete wall. This area is bordered on the south by a dirt drive, a band of landscaping, and the chain link fence that runs along the perimeter of the property. The area west of the barn is narrow and consists solely of the dirt drive and chain link perimeter fence.

Alterations to the Barn

The barn is largely intact from its original date of construction and its period of agricultural use prior to the early 1970s, with few substantial alterations noted. (see early 1970s photos on page 16) The most obvious non-historic change has involved replacement of the wood shingle roof with the standing seam metal roof that remains there today. The south loafing shed addition has also been removed. These changes were completed during the past few decades.

Most of the building’s small windows have been boarded closed and the frames and glass panes are now absent. However, the historic photograph from the early 1970s and limited physical evidence that remains on the barn show that these were primarily four-light windows with wood frames. The wood plank door on the lower west wall is not original, but is a replacement that dates from the past several decades. The original door there consisted of a pair of swinging doors with vertical planks rather than the current horizontal ones.

The early 1970s photograph of the barn’s interior shows that the overhead north- south beams described above had already been cut by that time and the metal tie rods were in place. The hay carrier and a length of rail about 14’ in length have been removed and are in the possession of Tamra Nottingham Underwood. (see photos in Appendix A)

Historical Background

Prior to the 1880s, the entire Eagle River Valley existed in a state of undisturbed nature, with the river, open valleys, and forested slopes above supporting wildlife and generations of the Ute Indians. The State of Colorado had been established in 1876 and over the following years Euro-Americans moved ever closer to the Eagle River Valley. In the mountains to the east they established ranches and mining camps. Trappers visited the Eagle River Valley for years, however it wasn’t until the early 1880s that the first settlers arrived to establish ranches and communities there. Among the first to venture into the area was John C. Metcalf.

The Metcalf/Metherd Era: John Conard Metcalf was born in Ohio in 1851 and by the time he was five years old both of his parents had died. He remained in Ohio throughout his childhood and was raised by an aunt. In 1879, John headed west to Colorado Springs, Colorado. What drew him there was his ailing older brother Ornan, a Civil War veteran who was struggling with tuberculosis. Ornan died that September and just over two months later John married Elizabeth Love. Known as Lizzie, she was the daughter of El Paso County

livestock dealer John W. Love and was a decade younger than her husband.1

The 1880 federal census listed John and Lizzie as residing in the South Park area of Park County, in the mountains west and northwest of Colorado Springs. He had gained work as a ranchman, probably on a property owned by his father- in-law. By that time, Lizzie’s parents had moved to the mining town of Breckenridge, where John Love operated a feed stable. In 1881, John Metcalf and a small party of men, some of them members of his wife’s family, traveled from Breckenridge to Leadville and then down the Eagle River to the unsettled area that would soon come to be known as Avon. They found the land there so appealing that in May of 1882 John brought Lizzie and their infant son Wilbur to the locale. Lizzie’s parents resettled nearby, on a cattle ranch they established along Brush Creek near the town of Eagle. Over the following years, the Metcalfs and Loves became prominent in the Eagle River Valley community and both men served as early county commissioners.

Upon their arrival, John built a log cabin on the open flats north of the river and the Metcalfs settled in to raise children and build their ranch. According to a memoir written years later by their daughter, Amy Metcalf Bowen, the cabin measured about 20’x 20’ and was built of unpeeled logs with a sod roof, single window, and a wood plank door. According to her estimate, it was located approximately 200’ from the river and about four-fifths of a mile west of where the Avon railroad station would soon be built. This placed the historic site of the cabin just north of where W. Beaver Creek Blvd. now crosses the Eagle River.2

In 1887, John sold a strip of land 100’ wide through his land to the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RGRR). This served as the right-of-way that the railroad used to construct its main line through the valley. The following year, he secured a water appropriation from the Eagle River and used it to construct the Metcalf Ditch (this was adjudicated years later in 1901). A ditch statement filed with the State of Colorado in 1894 showed that the ditch’s owners were John C. Metcalf (3/7), George A. Townsend (1/7), and Nottingham & Company (3/7). It was two miles in length and just three feet deep. Today the ditch is completely erased from the landscape in the vicinity of the Town of Avon.3

Although the Metcalfs had settled on the land, they did not actually own the property for a number of years. To address this, in early June 1890 John purchased 160 acres from the United States government that consisted of the N½ of the NE¼ of Section 11 and the adjoining N½ of the NW¼ of Section 12. The boundaries of his acquisition included much of the land that eventually came to be occupied by the Town of Avon. Several years later, in July 1893, he filed a homestead claim to an additional 80 acres that made up the S½ of the SE¼ of Section 2. This parcel was located just north of the acreage that he had acquired three years earlier.4

Three years later, in December 1896, John transferred legal ownership of the 160 acres in Sections 2 and 11 to Lizzie (he may have already sold off the remaining 80 acres in Section 12 by that time). Why he did this appears to be related to the fact that the Klondike Gold Rush had started in August of that year. John left for the Yukon Territory, where he joined the estimated 100,000 prospectors who flooded the region in search of wealth. However, according to

family history he disappeared there in 1898 and was presumed dead.5

Following the loss of their husband and father, Lizzie and the children moved to her parents’ ranch near Eagle, where they shared the home with a boarder named Charles Curry. Although he was seven years younger than Lizzie, the two struck up a relationship and were soon married. In April 1905, Lizzie and Charles Curry sold the acreage in Avon to Joseph Metherd for $3,700. The sale excluded the strip of land already transferred to the D&RGRR, but included their

share in the Metcalf Ditch.6

Joseph Henry Metherd was born in Dayton, Ohio around 1870 and as a child moved with his family to Cass County, Indiana. After growing up on the family farm, he moved west to Denver, Colorado and in 1899 married Luella Burns there. They initially settled in Breckenridge but relocated to the Avon area by early 1902 with their growing family. According to a local newspaper article about the 1905 land purchase, the Metherds were residing at the time on a leased property known as the McCoy Ranch and had no immediate plans to settle on the Metcalf property. In addition, the Metcalf Ranch was already leased to another party. In any case, Joseph Metherd owned the acreage for just a few years before selling it to Paul Hahnewald in July 1908 for $10,000 (more than $250,000 in today’s currency value). Following the sale, Joseph and Luella left the Eagle River Valley for good and moved with their children first to Idaho and

from there to Nevada and California.7

The Hahnewald Era: Paul Hahnewald not only acquired the acreage from

Joseph Metherd in 1908, but on the same date as the land transfer he paid Metherd an additional $10,000 for a substantial number of items related to the ranching operation. These included about eight horses, sixty-four head of cattle, wagons, a buggy, a mower, a hay stacker, sleds, harnesses, plows, harrows, cultivators and other equipment. The deal included a blacksmith shop, complete with anvils, bellows and tools. A few weeks later, Paul spent another $1,125 on additional items from I. Fedor Schlaepfer. Among these were horses and cows,

along with a buggy, bobsleds, a wagon, three plows, log chains, yokes, a sled, and loading equipment consisting of a block, tackle and beam.8

Despite the large sum of money that Paul Hahnewald spent to acquire the property at Avon, he did not hold onto it for very long. In November 1908, just four months after he purchased the land, he sold it for $9,000 to his brother

Albert.9 Born in Saxony, Germany in 1867, Albert immigrated to the United States in 1881. His wife Frances was from Fredricksburg, Texas, a German immigrant town in the hill country where the couple evidently met and married.

They had three children, with just one son named Albert Jr.10

By the mid-1890s, Albert and Frances had moved to Leadville, where he acquired the popular Turner Hall bar. He also served two terms as a town alderman. Albert and his brothers Paul, August, Robert and Otto were engaged in mining and ranching. Together they discovered a rich lode of ore in Leadville during the late 1890s. In addition, they owned the Colorado Bakery, which sold

baked goods, groceries, produce and confections.11

Following his purchase of the land at Avon in late 1908, Albert resettled his family there. He appears to have been the person who constructed the large barn that remains on the site today. Once it was completed, the building formed the nucleus of the ranchstead where Albert spent the following years raising livestock and growing feed crops such as grains and hay. Before long, he acquired 900 acres of ranchland close to Edwards, where he eventually ran 1,000 head of cattle, along with horses and hogs. It appears that this larger property became the family’s home ranch where they primarily lived. The ranch’s range extended from Red Canyon on the west to Gore Creek on the east.12

In addition to their mountain properties, the Hahnewald family maintained a home on Albion Street in Denver. After 1915, Albert divided his time between Eagle County and the Denver house. Albert Jr. joined him in managing the ranch, which operated as the Hahnewald Land & Livestock Co., although he was away for some time serving in the American Army during World War I. Three years later, following a December 1918 cattle-selling trip to Kansas City, Albert Sr. returned to Denver with a case of influenza. This occurred during the epidemic that was sweeping the nation. By the end of the month, he had succumbed to pneumonia and was buried in Fairmount Cemetery at the age of fifty-one.13

The Kroelling Era: In November 1915, Albert Hahnewald sold the Avon

property, which included the large barn, to Paul Kroelling for $15,000. Paul Frederick Kroelling was born in Germany in 1864 and immigrated to the United States in 1889. He settled in Leadville, where he operated a slaughterhouse and meat market. Paul also served as a member of the volunteer fire department. In 1892 he married Anna Winters, who was also a native of Germany. They had two children, one of whom (Frederick) lived to adulthood. The family remained in Leadville until 1915, when they moved down the Eagle River to Avon.14

In the fall of 1917, the Kroellings were busy harvesting ninety acres that they had planted with crops. This included twelve acres of potatoes producing two hundred sacks to an acre, thirty acres of oats, and the remainder in hay at four tons to the acre. The hay was used to feed their cattle and would have been stored in the barn’s large upper floor hayloft. The family’s cattle and sheep were pastured on the property as well as along the Piney Divide. In 1921, Paul Kroelling was elected vice-president of the newly formed Avon Stockgrowers’ Association. During the 1920s, the Kroellings added head lettuce to the crops grown on their ranch.15

Paul died in 1938 on his Avon ranch and was buried in Leadville, and following the death of her husband Anna moved back there. She and their son Fred inherited the Avon property in 1940 through the settlement of Paul’s estate. In May 1948, they sold it and Fred moved to Carbondale, where he became a longtime resident. Anna died in Leadville in 1950 and was buried next to her husband.16

The Nottingham Era: On 1 May 1948, Harry A. Nottingham, a local rancher and member of the prominent family that had settled much of this area of the Eagle River Valley in the early 1880s, purchased the former Hahnewald Ranch at Avon. One month later, a public sale was held on the property to dispose of the Kroellings’ cattle, horses, machinery, household goods, tools and other miscellaneous items. Harry added the property to his extensive ranch holdings in the vicinity and held onto it until March 1955, when he transferred it to his oldest

son Arnold (Harry A. Nottingham Jr.) together with several nearby parcels.17

After Arnold acquired the property, his brother Allan became a co-owner. From 1948 on, they ran sheep there and used the large barn’s lower level for livestock shelter and lambing. This area of the building held a number of pens that housed the ewes and their lambs. The upper level served as a hayloft. Off the barn’s south wall, the long loafing shed that once stood there also sheltered the sheep. In 1966, Allan moved into the log home on the property with his wife Linda and their children. This may have been the same log cabin built by John Metcalf in 1882, although by that time it had been improved and expanded with a kitchen and dining room.18

The Nottinghams remained on the ranch for six years until December 1972, when Arnold and Allen sold a number of their area lands to Benchmark-Avon Properties. At that time, Benchmark was in the process of assembling acreage for development of the town of Avon, and the Nottingham parcels were key to their plan. The Town of Avon was incorporated in 1978 and Allan not only served on its first town council but was also mayor for twelve years. This decade marked the end of the area’s history as a ranching center and the beginning of its development in association with the nearby Beaver Creek Ski Resort.19

As Benchmark subdivided the former Metcalf-Hahnewald-Kroelling-Nottingham lands during the 1970s, the parcel containing the Hahnewald Barn became Tract O of Block 3 and was reduced to a size of 1.06 acres. To the north and east is Tract N, a 5.883-acre parcel acquired in 1969 that immediately became the location of the Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant. (see Figure 5)

In 1977, Benchmark at Beaver Creek sold the parcel containing the barn to Alameda National Bank in Lakewood, Colorado for $83,112. Five years later, the bank sold it to the Upper Eagle Valley Sanitation District for $98,119. Finally, in 1996 it was transferred one last time to the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, which continues to own the barn today.

During the late 1960s and 1970s, the areas to the north, east and west of the barn were cleared for redevelopment. This included moving the historic log cabin to Nottingham Park. Construction of the Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant began in 1969, the LiftView Condominums emerged to the west, and the Eagle Valley Trail was developed to the south along the river. Despite these changes and the passage of time, the Hahnewald Barn has remained in its original

location for over a century.20

Comments on Historical & Architectural Significance

Based upon the extensive field documentation and archival research that were completed for this project and are presented above, the following text provides information and analysis about the resulting historical and architectural significance of the Hahnewald Barn. Also addressed is the question of its architectural integrity from a preservation standpoint.

Although the land where the Hahnewald Barn sits was first settled in 1882 and was used for ranching over the following ninety years, it wasn’t until around 1910 that the building was constructed. Over the decades between 1910 and 1972, it was integral to ranching operations that were conducted by three successive families, the Hahnewalds (1910-1915), the Kroellings (1915-1948), and the Nottinghams (1948-1972). During this long period, the building was used to shelter livestock and store hay. Since its agricultural use came to an end forty- four years ago, it has served as a storage facility associated with the adjacent Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant.

In relation to its sixty-two years of historic agricultural use, the barn may be viewed as associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of the history of Avon during the twentieth century. As described in the historical section above, it conveys much about the role it played in area agriculture. The barn also conveys the story of three prominent families who initially settled in Leadville before making their way to the Eagle River Valley and successfully reestablishing themselves there as ranchers. In doing so, they followed an important pattern of settlement that was associated with the decades that came after the mining era. Today the barn is a very rare remnant of Avon’s agricultural heritage, most of which has disappeared in recent decades.

The Hahnewald Barn is also of interest from an architectural standpoint. In light of the various styles of historic barns that exist across the United States, it may be classified in a few different ways, all of which are simply descriptive of the building’s form and style. It can be called a gable entrance barn, a transverse- crib barn, or a basement barn. These all refer to a building that has a short lower level where livestock were housed, and a much taller upper level that served as a hayloft. Its lower level entrances are situated directly across from each other on the gable ends of the building and are connected by a long central alley that was flanked by long spaces that were used to house the animals.

This style of barn originated in New England and upstate New York during the middle years of the nineteenth century. It then became popular in the Midwest as the nation expanded in that direction. During the settlement era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, migrants brought the style to the West, including Colorado, where it appeared in various locations. It proved to be a very functional style that worked well in ranch settings and for dairy operations.

EXHIBIT 1 19

Bringing the Past to Life

Based upon its style and details, the Hahnewald Barn embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, and method of construction that are present in its architecture. In other words, the building continues to convey the important elements of this particular style and the methods that were employed in its construction. Consequently, it is a locally rare example of early 1900s agricultural architecture, little of which is left standing in the Avon area today.

Regarding the question of architectural integrity (this is different from condition), the barn has changed little since it was constructed over a century ago. Seven aspects of integrity have been defined by the National Park Service and are used throughout the country to analyze historic buildings, structures and sites. These are location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The precise definitions of these terms can be found in National Park Service Bulletin 15 at www.nps.gov/Nr/publications/bulletins/nrb15. In general, the aspects of location, design, workmanship, feeling and association all appear to be very intact on this building.

Anyone who views the Hahnewald Barn today can easily see that it is quite old and is associated with the area’s ranching heritage. The most obvious change in recent decades has involved replacement of the original wood shingle roof with metal panels. While this utilitarian solution to an aging roof is not ideal and detracts somewhat from its historic appearance, this has become a common approach to replacing wooden roofs on historic agricultural buildings and primarily impacts the aspect of materials. However, this is viewed as a moderate alteration to the barn’s integrity since it did not change the form of the roof and the remaining historic materials are largely intact.

The other non-historic alterations to the barn that are described above are less obvious and have done little to diminish its architectural integrity. The building retains its original size and form, its lower concrete walls, its board and batten siding, its window and door locations, its hayrail projecting from the roof, and its rooftop ventilators. The interior also exhibits the original structure of the building, with its heavy lower level post and beams, and the upper level’s wood floor and lighter wall and roof framing.

Changes that have occurred to the setting around the barn are more distinct. These have involved the disappearance over the past several decades of the associated ranch buildings and the rural landscape as a whole, except for the river corridor to the south. Due to these changes, this aspect of integrity is more substantially diminished than any of the others. This raises a question of whether the loss of setting is impactful enough to have damaged the barn’s overall integrity. The answer probably rests in the fact that for a building to exhibit a good degree of architectural integrity, only a predominance of the aspects of integrity must exist. How local and state officials completing formal review of the property might interpret this remains uncertain.

Comments on Condition and Preservation

Finally, the author of this study was asked to comment on the condition of the Hahnewald Barn and practical options for its preservation. However, it must be understood that the following observations and statements are provided from the perspective of an experienced historic preservation professional and not a licensed engineer or architect.

After more than a century of use and exposure to the elements, the Hahnewald Barn is in need of a number of repairs. The structure of the building appears to be quite good overall, with most of the concrete, woodwork and architectural details intact and little changed from its original construction. Most obvious is the deterioration that has occurred along the lower concrete walls, much of it related to moisture damage. The ground outside the north wall slopes steeply down to the building and is filled with snow for half the year. This results in a situation where melting snow and rainfall do not drain properly away from the building. Not only has this impacted the concrete wall, but the lower door and windows along this side of the barn are also damaged.

It is likely that the deterioration found along the south concrete wall, which is the most severely damaged area of the building, started decades ago when the loafing shed was still there. Over the years this probably filled with a deep layer of manure that rested against the concrete wall and launched its deterioration. After the loafing shed was removed, the storage of sand and gravel piles in the same location appears to have accelerated the damage. Today the south concrete wall is structurally compromised by the fact that a large area is completely missing. Together with the adjacent deteriorated areas, about one- third of the south wall is compromised and in need of attention.

Steel beams and scaffolding have been placed inside the lower level of the building to shore up these areas and prevent it from collapsing. This is a temporary solution that needs to be addressed in the near future. If the barn were to remain where it is, new segments of the concrete walls will need to be constructed, but only where these materials are damaged and missing. In addition, there is a need to address moisture and drainage problems so that future damage is avoided. Because the concrete walls are so important to the integrity and structural stability of the building, work on the damaged areas should be done with the guidance of a preservation architect or engineer. It is not advisable to just turn it over to a concrete contractor.

Another structural item that should be inspected by a preservation architect or engineer involves the removal of the north-south horizontal beams that were located within the upper level hayloft. These were severed decades ago, sometime prior to the early 1970s, and the stability of the long north and south walls has been dependent since then upon the six tie bars that remain in place.

These appear to have done their job and the walls do not seem to be bowing outward. However, this should be inspected more closely to ensure that the loss of the beams has not resulted in a building that is structurally compromised. In addition, the tie bars may need to be adjusted from time to time, and it is not known if that has ever been done.

The only other features on the barn that need attention are some of its smaller architectural details. For example, deterioration of the doors and windows should be addressed to ensure that they are restored and working as intended. The north door on the lower level is being pushed inward by the snow and is deteriorating due to drainage problems outside the building. As the windows all over the barn deteriorated, they were simply boarded closed rather than being fixed. These should be replaced with windows that are fabricated to match the originals. The historic photograph on page 16, together with remnants that remain on the building, should serve as guides for their fabrication.

The lower level doors on the west and possibly east may need to be reconstructed, since at least one of these is non-historic. On the upper level, the board and batten siding seems to be functioning well, but may need some attention to make sure that it is secured to the building. The threshold at the large entry on the upper north side has been damaged and needs to be repaired. This damage has also exposed the lower level below to water infiltration. Finally, the ventilators atop the roof look like they require some repairs.

While the discussion above addresses condition issues and preservation recommendations, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District has determined that the barn must be removed to make room for expansion of the Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant. There are two possible methods of accomplishing this. One of these is demolition and the other is to have the building moved to a new site. Demolition will obviously result in total loss of the barn, one of the last historic buildings in its original location in Avon that is directly related to its agricultural heritage. On the other hand, moving the barn will allow it to survive.

Where the barn is moved to may make some difference to the community. A privately owned property is one possibility. An ideal public location might be Nottingham Park across the rail corridor to the north. There it would rest upon land that was also associated with the ranch from its beginnings in the late 1800s. In addition, this would place the barn closer to the relocated log cabin that formerly stood to its west. In Nottingham Park, the barn could be repurposed to serve the community, making it more accessible to the public than it has been for many years.

Wherever it might end up, if the barn is to be moved it will require new concrete lower walls that should essentially replicate the ones there today. The woodwork throughout the building will need to be carefully disassembled, moved, and then reassembled on the new site. Interpretive signage placed outside the building could provide the public with information about its history, along with discussion of the fact that it was moved and saved for the benefit of the community.

COLORADO & FEDE RAL ASBESTOS REGULATIONS SUMMARY

Regulation No. 8 Part B – Asbestos of the Colorado Department of Public Health and

Environment (CDPHE), Air Quality Control Commission requires a State-certified

Asbestos Building Inspector to inspect and collect bulk samples of all suspect asbestos

containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM)

prior to their disturbance, removal or demolition and disposal. The suspect materials shall

be analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory by polarized light microscopy (PLM)

using EPA 600 analytical method. A material which is estimated to contain more than 1%

asbestos is classified as ACM/ACBM and regulated by the State and Federal

governments. Any friable (able to crush or reduce to powder by finger pressure) asbestos

with trace amounts of asbestos fibers or less than 1% must be point-counted using EPA

400 analytical method to prove that it is indeed less than 1%; if not, it must be classified

as ACM/ACBM and shall be treated as a State and Federal regulated material. Any

friable asbestos containing material (greater than 1% asbestos concentration) or

ACM/ACBM that could be rendered friable during its removal or demolition and disposal

shall require an asbestos abatement by a certified asbestos abatement contractor to

remove and dispose of the material(s).

A Colorado State (CDPHE) issued asbestos abatement permit is required for the

following trigger levels of ACM/ACBM:

1. Residential buildings of four or fewer units--if more than 32 square feet of any

surface coverage (e.g., gypsum wallboard or drywall and associated applied surfacing

materials/textures, acoustic sprays, joint compounds, plaster, etc.), 50 feet of asbestos

covered or asbestos insulated pipe or any material which would fill a 55-gallon drum is

going to be disturbed, removed or disposed of, an asbestos abatement permit is required.

2. Residential complexes with more than four residential units, public access areas to a

residential building, commercial and retail buildings, public and civic buildings,

industrial buildings--if more than 160 square feet of surfacing materials, 260 linear feet

or more than 35 cubic feet (NESHAP) or 55-gallon drum (CDPHE) of suspect

ACM/ACBM is going to be disturbed, removed or disposed of, an asbestos abatement

permit is required under NESHAP and by the CDPHE. See note below on OSHA.

The regulations require an absolute minimum of 3 samples (EPA suggests 9) per

homogenous suspect surfacing and TSI materials and an absolute minimum of 1 sample

of homogenous miscellaneous materials or any number of “samples sufficient to

determine whether a material is ACM” (Reg8.IV.D.3). More samples are required based

on surface area or volume. These are minimums; the asbestos building inspector has the

field responsibility to determine homogenous materials and the number of samples to

collect per material; more than the minimum number of samples may be necessary at the

discretion of the inspector. An assessment of friability and functional space conditions of

the materials are also the inspector’s field responsibilities.

EXHIBIT 2

3

OSHA compliance is required for all employers and employees no matter the

quantity of asbestos present with strict regulations regarding 10 sf or more of TSI or

friable surfacing materials, and therefore it does not matter what the quantity or

State trigger levels are: all suspect ACM/ACBM shall be inspected and tested for

asbestos prior to their disturbance, removal and disposal for worker protection and

safety. See EPA 40 CFR 763.121 Worker Protection Rule, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134

Respirator Protection Standard, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 General Industry Standard and

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 Construction Standard regulations when dealing with asbestos

hazards.

Note: County or City regulations may be more stringent.

A gypsum wallboard/drywall system which installed, taped and joint compounded at one

time is considered to be classified as a miscellaneous material in its completed integral

system. This system is before any texture is applied. It requires a sampling of all

composite layers of the drywall system; the number of samples is determined by

a“…number of samples sufficient to determine” …if asbestos is present or not. A

miscellaneous material is completely different than another classification called a

surfacing material. The surfacing material is applied onto the finished drywall system.

This surfacing material requires a minimum of 3 samples for a surface area of up to 1,000

sf, 5 samples up to 5,000 sf of surface area and 7 samples of a surface area over 5,000 sf,

according to the CDPHE. The EPA recommends 9 samples for any amount of surfacing

material. Surfacing materials are more than texture on a drywall system; it is anything

with the purpose of coating, texturing or sealing a substrate. The final classification is

thermal system insulation or TSI. TSI is used for insulating materials to keep cold in or

heat in or create a fire protective layer.

All sampling of various suspect materials is determined by the inspector as a

homogeneous miscellaneous, surfacing or TSI material—homogeneous by means of

being different by its installation date, material color or appearance differences or

texture/feel.

CLIENT BACKGROU ND

The Client, Town of Avon, is planning to demolish the current building located at 1 Lake

Street, Avon, Colorado 81620. The Client hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter,

HealthSafe) to perform a comprehensive asbestos inspection, bulk sampling and a report.

This building comprises the Town’s administration and formerly the Avon Police

Department. It is a two-story commercial building with a basement section and two

garages. The entire structure is slated to be demolished and disposed of. This report is

unlimited, including all suspect asbestos containing interior and exterior building

materials.

VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FI NDINGS

An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on December 1, 2017. Suspect

ACM/ACBM were identified and sampled.

The asbestos percentage in a bulk sample by PLM analysis (EPA 600 method) is

estimated by the analyst, not exact. For exact percentage, it requires another type of

analysis called “Point Count” analysis (EPA 400 method). This report only includes EPA

600 method of analysis. A sample that has no detection of asbestos is labeled None

Detected or ND.

Those individual homogeneous materials are the following:

All asbestos fibers in the above building materials are Chrysotile (“white asbestos”).

Four materials on the exterior are classified as ACM/ACBM:

1. Exterior black asphalt concrete foundation sealant, significantly damaged friable

surfacing ACM at an estimated 8% Chrysotile asbestos concentration. An estimate

of surface area coverage is impossible with the landscape backfill covering most

of the foundation; only what is above the soil is currently visible. This material

will require asbestos abatement prior to the demolition of the building. Another

concern is the high probability of asbestos fibers in the soil. Asbestos

contaminated soil will require abatement.

EXHIBIT 2

2. The roofing tar-bitumen is non-friable ACM, estimated at 10% Chrysotile

concentration. It is used to seal around plumbing vent pipes, flashing, etc. This

will not require asbestos abatement prior to the demolition of the structure.

3. Asbestos roofing tar paper, friable ACBM with potential for significant damage

during a demolition. This material is currently underneath the cedar shingles of

the original building. The cedar shingles are underneath a metal roofing material

which appears like imitation shakes; this was installed more recently to protect the

release of asbestos fibers from the original roof assembly containing the asbestos

roofing tar paper. The surface area of the roofing ACM tar paper is estimated at

6,000 sf. This material will require asbestos abatement prior to the demolition of

the building. At an estimated 80% Chrysotile asbestos in friable condition, this is

highly hazardous material.

4. Exterior concrete block (CMU, concrete masonry unit) foundation wrap,

significantly damaged friable miscellaneous ACM at an estimated 8% Chrysotile

asbestos. This material must have been installed as a waterproofing membrane

over the CMU foundation wall. It is not over the concrete foundation wall. The

CMU foundation portion has this bitumen-fibrous paper in conjunction with

polystyrene foam insulation boards in the assembly. An estimate of surface area

coverage is impossible with the landscape backfill covering most of the

foundation; only what is above the soil is currently visible. This material will

require asbestos abatement prior to the demolition of the building. Another

concern is the high probability of asbestos fibers in the soil. Asbestos

contaminated soil will require abatement.

There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials to sample which were

visible at the time of inspection. There may yet be some suspect materials between layers

of assembled materials. During the abatement phase or the demolition phase, if there are

any additional suspect materials, contact HealthSafe for additional sampling.

A total of 104 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 104

samples were analyzed. The bulk samples were analyzed by PLM by a NVLAP

accredited laboratory in accordance with Colorado State Regulation 8 for the presence of

asbestos mineral fibers.

See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #17037852 attached below.

Soils around the building exterior perimeter may need to be sampled prior to disturbance

and abatement, and most likely during the abatement phase. HealthSafe will be able to

sample those soils.

Sincerely Submitted,

Jim Baker

EXHIBIT 3 – PROJECT PLANNING DOCUMENTS

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Plan calls for moving and repurposing the Barn to become a multi-use public amenity in nearby Harry A. Nottingham Park on a site located between the Union Pacific corridor, Nottingham Lake, the Avon Recreation Center and the Avon Public Library. The Barn will be re-purposed and may contain n public restrooms, storage and other public-use space(s) on the lower level and flexible, assembly space on the upper level; per the Plan, the relocation site is at Harry A. Nottingham Park at One Lake Street, where the current Avon Town Hall is situated and preliminary site plans are included in the appendix. The project will include demolishing the Avon Town Hall prior to re-erection of the Barn.

The relocated barn will be self-supporting and it is anticipated that the interior will become the interior finish for the new multi-purpose space within. A new exterior structure “exoskeleton” and foundation shall be designed to meet all building code requirements. The A&E team may propose a design that does not have an exoskeleton surrounding the original Barn but the alternative must be well-explained including how the design would achieve being weather-proof and building code-compliant.

New exterior finishes should recreate the existing exterior appearance of the Barn unless there is a compelling reason do deviate. One acceptable reason to deviate will be to add fenestration with owner approval. Wherever deviations are approved they should appear to be modern modifications and not try to appear original.

It is anticipated that some site work will be required for the Barn along with drainage and utility

improvements as preliminarily shown in the Site Level Schematic Plan. Changes to the site plan outside

the immediate Barn area must be coordinated with the town to avoid impacts to those other needs

including production needs of the lakeside Avon Performance Pavilion and its vehicle circulation for

artists, tour buses and other special events, integration with an existing small historic cabin, park uses

associated with the lake, fields, pavilion and other park amenities, and on-going park maintenance

activities. The electrical, internet, water, sewer and gas utilities for Harry A. Nottingham Park are

serviced through the existing Town Hall and will have to be relocated for the Barn or any other project

on the site.
