Grandstand Preservation - Three County Fair
1) Please describe in detail the differences between your current and previous application.
1. The major difference is the addition of a Historic preservationist to the team. This should help us
with the documentation for a historic listing and review the proposed work for correctness.
2)This application is more directly focused on historic preservation (although I am still not
comfortable with the concept of “adaptive restoration”) The proposal includes “determine…
.
what improvements are necessary to update the electrical and mechanical systems.” Could the
project work without the involvement of Lindgren & Sharples, because that portion of the
proposed work sounds the least like historic preservation?
2.The reason for an electrical engineer on the team is that the Grandstand contains major switch
gears that power the infield as well as the sports lighting for ring in front of the Grandstand. If the
proposed renovations would involve moving or temporary relocation electrical engineering would be
required.
