It was determined the Control Tower was not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places because the adjacent terminal was removed. Local historic designation was identified as a possibility, which would help secure grants if publicly owned or tax abatement if privately owned. • Asbestos and lead paint study: – – 2018: City commissioned Baer Engineering & Environmental Consulting Inc., which issued a “Full Asbestos and Full Lead Paint Report” of the conditions within the Control Tower. Both asbestos and lead paint were found in building materials. • • 2018: The Mueller Team secured historic zoning designation from the City and an historical marker from the State. 2020: McCann Adams Studio developed design guidelines for the tower block to protect views of the Control Tower and coordinate proposed uses within the block. 3 | RMMA PIAC | 05-14-2024 Control Tower – Tower Base Plans Tower Access Challenges • The white base of the former Control Tower was originally surrounded by the airport terminal; it became exposed when the terminal was deconstructed. • In 2021, at the online community meeting, some attendees expressed a desire to treat the tower base. • In 2021, the Mueller Team met with city historic preservation staff who provided guidance that: Treatment of the actual tower base would not be in line with the historic designation, and If a treatment was to be provided it would need to be offset from the building so as not to affect the integrity of the structure. …
