Agency: DHCD Site visit by MHT Staff: X no _ yes Name Date Eligibility recommended Eligibility not recommended X Criteria: —A B _C _D Considerations: _A B _C D _E _F _G _None Justification for decision: (Use continuation sheet if necessary and attach map) The single-family dwelling at 17801 Spielman Road in Fairplay, Washington County, MID is not located within an historic district and is not considered eligible for individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1 -1/2 -story frame (or concrete block? in places) dwelling was probably constructed in the first quarter of this century. It is a long, lowing building, six bays long and one bay deep and covered with a gable roof. The residence has undergone major alterations, including an enclosed front porch which greatly detracts from the original character of the dwelling. The house lacks the architectural distinctiveness and integrity to qualify for listing under Criterion C. The property is not known to have associations with persons or events significant to our past and is thus not eligible under Criteria A or B.

It is situated on a high area of ground and faces east or toward the road. The structure is a one-story, five -bay brick schoolhouse with white wooden trim. The facade wall is broken by a one -bay projecting bell tower which includes the main entrance. The walls are set on limestone foundations topped with a course of cut brownstone. The bricks are laid in common bond with seven courses of stretchers between header rows. Decorative work associated with the walls includes projecting corner buttresses with brownstone trim and brick trimmed Gothic -style window and door arches with brownstone keystones. Windows appear to have been placed evenly in the front and rear walls of the building. Within their arch topped frames, the windows have nine -over -six light sashes. Wide brownstone sills form the bottom of the window framing. The main entrance is located in the center bay of the front elevation under a massive square bell tower. The hipped roof is covered with slate. The bell tower also has a hipped roof with an imbricated slate pattern. The school house was built in 1904 on land conveyed to the Washington County Board of Education by Louis P. Doub, et al, executors for the estate of Philip R. Doub. The school is at present in use as a museum which is operated by the Washington County Historical Society. En addition to temporary special exhibits, the museum houses permanent exhibits featuring objects from the second half of the 19th century. The school stands on a tract containing 121 perches. It is in excellent condition.

Architecturally, the school which was built in 1904 is an example of a public building of the turn of the century period. Built during the late Victorian period, it was the third school to be constructed at Beaver Creek. The two earlier buildings were located east of Beaver Creek Road opposite the present school building. In 1971, the Beaver Creek School was acquired by the Washington County Historical Society for use as a museum. It is open to the public on summer Sundays from I to 4pm. u1i a LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE COORDINATES LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE COORDINATES OEFINING A RECTANGLE LOCATING THE PROPERTY 0 DEFINING THE CENTER POINT OF A PROPERTY _____ 11 OF LESS THAN TEN ACRES CORNER LATITUDE LONGITUDE LATITUDE- - LONGITUDE Degrees Minutes Seconds Degrees Minutes Seconds Degrees Minutes Seconds Degrees Minutes Seconds NW o o o NE c SE o I. 0' .. g • • o APPROXIMATE ACREAGE OF NOMINATED'PROPERTY: 121 perches 1,404 sq. ft.

Such activity can include but is not limited to construction, reconstruction, relocation, restoration, rehabilitation, modification, enlargement, conversion or demolition of all or any portion of the exterior features of the subject site, structure or district. The purpose and intent of this Section is to provide an additional mechanism for the review of the appropriateness of proposed activity, not to change the building permit application procedure. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to exempt any activity from the requirement of a building permit or require a permit where one would not normally be needed, if the structure were not in an "HP" zone. The Commission shall develop and make available to all interested parties guidelines for activities constituting ordinary maintenance, and shall provide these guidelines to each applicant for an "HP" overlay zone. The Commission shall consider only exterior features of a structure which would affect the historic, archeological, or architectural significance of the site or structure, any portion of which is visible or intended to be visible from a public way, and shall not consider any interior arrangements, although interior changes may still be subject to building permit procedures. All permits as required above shall be transmitted to the Commission by the Division of Plan Review & Permitting. The Commission shall render a decision on a completed application within 45 days of receipt of the completed application. Failure to act within the specified time period shall be considered an approval of the application by the Commission. The 45- day review period may be extended upon agreement by the Commission and the applicant. (a) The permit application shall be approved by the Commission if it is consistent with the following criteria: 1. The proposal does not substantially alter the exterior features of the structure. 2. The proposal is compatible in character and nature with the historical, archeological, architectural or cultural features of the site, structure or district and would not be detrimental to achievement of the purposes of this Article. 3. The proposal would enhance or aid in the protection, preservation and public or private utilization of the site or structure, in a manner compatible with its historical, archeological, architectural or cultural value. 4. The proposal is necessary in order that unsafe conditions or health hazards be remedied. 5. The "Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings" and subsequent revisions are to be used as guidance only and are not to be considered mandatory. (b) In reviewing the plans for any such construction or change, the Commission shall give consideration to and not disapprove an application except with respect to the factors specified below. The historic or architectural value and significance of the site or structure and its relationship to the historic or architectural value and significance of the surrounding area. 2. The relationship of the exterior architectural features of the structure to the remainder of the structure and to the surrounding area. 3. The general compatibility of exterior design, scale, proportion, arrangement, texture, and materials proposed to be used. 4. Any other factors including aesthetic factors, which the Commission deems to be pertinent. (c) The Commission shall be strict in its judgment of plans for those structures, sites or districts deemed to be valuable according to studies performed for districts of historic or architectural value. The Commission shall be lenient in its judgment of plans involving new construction, unless such plans would seriously impair the historic or architectural value of surrounding structures or the surrounding area. (d) The Commission shall deny a permit if it finds, based on evidence and information presented to or before the Commission, that the alteration for which the permit is sought would be inappropriate or inconsistent with, (a), (b) or (c) above, or detrimental to the preservation, enhancement, or ultimate protection of the historic structure site or district or the purpose of this Article as stated in Section 20.0. The use of the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards" noted in §20.6(a)(5) above is advisory only and not mandatory. If the Commission determines that the permit should be denied, it shall provide a written statement of the basis for denial with specific references to the goals of this Article. The Commission may also, at its discretion, provide the applicant with suggestions or recommendations for revisions to the proposal. 2. A building permit shall not be issued if the Commission has disapproved the application. 3. Nothing shall prevent the applicant from modifying the permit application to address suggestions made by the Commission to meet the purpose of this Article. (e) It is not the intent of this Section, nor is the Commission required, to limit new construction, alteration or repairs to any one period of architectural style. rear vie ui - rl i kl 4 I1(jut ed d i1- M fiis/ /'/Cry/ WASHINGTON COUNTY DIVISION OF PLAN REVIEW & PERMITTING 80 West Baltimore Street I Hagerstown, MD 21740-60031 P: 240.313.24601 F: 240.313.2461 BUILDING & ZONING PERMIT IVR/Record No: 2018-03486 Project No: P2018-0861 Record Type: Non -Residential New Construction Permit Inspector Area: B4 Job Address: 17525 SHEPHERDSTOWN PIKE Location: SP -18-031 17525 Shepherdstown Pike Tax Acct ID: 01006355 Zoning District: P Floodplain: No Owner: BOARD OF EDUCATION OF WASHINGTON Applicant: Brad Otto 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 Phone Number: (301)730-2189 Contractor: Kitchen Nykos Assoicates INC Phone No: (240)683-9530 Applied: 8/9/2018 Approved: Status: Review RECEIVED AUG 142018 WASHINGTON COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT Impared: 7-1-1 Description: Demolish existing school on site, 60054 sq. ft. two story elementary school to be used as 22 standard classrooms, 1 music room with storage, one stage/music room separated by removable partition with cafeteria, gymnasium separated by removable partition, admin and health suites, bathrooms, library, enclosed exterior courtyard, enclosed mechanical platform underneath gabled roof, hard and soft play ground area, masonry frame construction, AP2017-039, AP2017-042 Sharpsburg Elementary School Foundation Size: 191x274 Type of Heat: Heat Pump Public Sewer: Yes Public Water: Yes Gas: Yes Electric: Yes Valuation: $23,400,000.00 Code Enforced: 2015 IBC Decorative Heating Appl: Construction Type: Educational Exterior Finish: Masonry/metal panel Air Conditioning: Yes Septic: Time Existed: Well: Time Existed: No. of Bathrooms: No. of Half Bathrooms: No. of Bedrooms Lot Tract Area 11.54 acres Front Yard Setback 308 150 Rear Yard Setback 49 42 Left Side Setback 95 12 Right Side Setback 238 100 Lot Width 642 400 * All final State Fire Marshal inspections (850), if required, must be scheduled directly through the State Fire Marshal's office at 301-766-3888. ARTICLE 20A - "AO" ANTIETAM OVERLAY DISTRICT131 Section The purpose of the Antietam Overlay District is to provide mechanisms for the protection of significant historic structures and land areas by requiring development and land subdivision to occur in a manner that 1) preserves the existing quality of the viewshed of the Antietam Battlefield, and 2) ensures that development of certain lands adjacent to the major roads which provide public access to the Antietam Battlefield (i.e., Maryland Routes 34 and 65) is compatible with the agricultural and historic character of the area. The "AO" District is an overlay zone meant to enhance, not substitute for the existing underlying zoning designation, which regulates land use. Section (a) Subdistricts Established and Areas Delineated The Antietam Overlay District is comprised of these subdistricts: The Battlefield Buffer (AO -1), the Approach Zones (AO -2), and the Red Hill Area (AO -3). Lands zoned AO -1 (Battlefield Buffer) and AO -3 (Red Hill Area) are situated within the Battlefield Foreground and Red Hill Middleground, respectively, of the Antietam Viewshed, as determined by the National Park Service and documented in its April 1988 technical study entitled Analysis of the Visible Landscape: Antietam. The boundaries of the AO -1 and AO -3 zones conform to property boundaries except where manmade or natural features provide suitable boundaries. 3. Lands zoned AO -2 (Approach Zones) are situated within 1000 feet of the centerline of certain road segments, and do not necessarily conform to property boundaries. The length of the AO -2 (Approach Zones) are as shown on the zoning maps. Section 20A.2 AO -1 Battlefield Buffer Regulation (a) The regulations and criteria in this subsection are in addition to the conventional underlying zoning which regulates land use. (b) The following additional regulation shall apply: The exterior appearance of all uses, unless otherwise exempted by County Ordinance, shall automatically be subject to the provisions of Article 20, Historic Preservation District, and Section 20.6. 131 Revision 14, Article 20A replaced in its entirety 7/26/05 (RZ-03-005) 191 w: Section 20A.3 AO -2 Approach Zone Regulations (a) The regulations and criteria in this subsection are in addition to the conventional underlying zoning which regulates land use. (b) The exterior appearance of all commercial and nonresidential uses excluding all farm structures shall be subject to the provisions of Article 20, Historic Preservation District, and Section 20.6. Section 20A.4 AO -3 Red Hill Area (a) The regulations and criteria in this subsection are in addition to the conventional underlying zoning which regulates land use. (b) Prior to any tree cutting activity in the AO -3 Zone which is not associated with development of or construction on the property, a Forestry Management Plan, as prepared by Maryland Department of Natural Resources - Forest, Park and Wildlife Service, or a Registered Professional Forester and approved by the Forest, Park and Wildlife Service, must be submitted to the Planning Department. (The cutting of firewood and dead trees for personal use shall be permitted). Subsequent cutting of trees on the property shall be in accordance with the Forestry Management Plan. The plan will be kept on file with the Planning Department. A declaration of intent shall be filed with the Planning Department for tree harvesting activities in accordance with the Washington County Forest Conservation Ordinance. Unless exempt, all tree cutting relating to development of a property within the Antietam Overlay District shall be in accordance with an approved Forest Conservation Plan. 1. Tree removal, which is inconsistent with the Forestry Management Plan, is subject to the enforcement provisions included in Article 26 of the Ordinance with the exception that the offense shall not continue beyond the original cutting of each tree. 2.

This project is anticipated to be proposed as a local planning request in our FY 2018 State Capital Improvement Program. This request is in compliance with the Programmatic Agreement between the Maryland Historical trust and the Maryland Public School Construction Program for Compliance with the Maryland Historical Trust Act of 1985, dated January 2, 2013. WCPS is requesting State participation on the funding of a replacement project at a Category I facility, and requests that MHT review the proposed scope of work to verify that there will be no adverse effect. To the best of our knowledge, this facility is hot registered as an Individual Historical property, In our review, it was not identified in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) or the National Register Sites. http://washcogis2.washco- md.net/flexviewers3/Historic/ That being said, It was mentioned to be within the Sharpsburg Historic District (MIHP Site WA -II -0723). Surprisingly, the boundary of the historic district, does not indicate this statement, and the school itself is located just outside (similarly, it is located just outside of the Priority Funding Area). The proposed project at this point in time is a new replacement Sharpsburg Elementary School to be constructed on the improved /enlarged site, and the existing Sharpsburg Elementary to be demolished. To help assist with MHTs review; WCPS has included several documents that depict the current buildings ages/renovation dates, the. proposed property addition, and elevation views. Attached, please find the Section 106 Project Review Form for this proposed large capital improvement project, and the additional information requested for this process. Thank you again for your time and assistance on all of the projects associated with WCPS. Sincerely, Chad K. Criswell Senior Project and Planning Supervisor cc: Robert H. Rollins, III, Director of Facilities Planning & Development www.wcps.ic12.md.us L%'L: ism August 8, 2016 Ms. Joan Schaefer, Acting Executive Director State of Maryland Public School Construction Program 200 W. Baltimore Street Baltimore, MD 21201 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Sharpsburg Elementary School — Request for Waiver from Feasibility Study Requirement for Planning Approval Ms. Schaefer, Washington County Public Schools' (WCPS's) proposed FY2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will include a request for planning approval for the construction of a replacement school for Sharpsburg Elementary School as its 1s1 priority. Consistent with the procedures outlined in the Section 203, Paragraph 203.7 of the Public School Construction Program's (PSCP's) Administrative Procedures Guide, WCPS is requesting that an exception, or waiver, be granted by the Interagency Committee on School Construction (IAC) from the requirement that a feasibility study be developed and submitted prior to the IAC's consideration of granting local planning and funding approval. This school replacement project, and the request for this approach, mirrors the Bester Elementary School replacement project that was successfully completed a few years ago. It is imperative that the current school be replaced with a new facility, similar to what was accomplished on other recent WCPS projects at Bester, Pangborn, and Maugansville elementary schools. The current, layout of the school, resulting from having been subject to two major, and many minor, renovations over its 80 year history, is not conducive to another major classroom addition, nor would accessibility and state-of-the-art safety and security measures be easily achieved. Because WCPS has no alternative "float" schools in which students could be housed during a complete modernization of the existing facility, a multi -year, phased project would be required which would have a direct and disruptive impact upon the educational needs of the students. A phased project would also result in higher costs that could force the project to be delayed or cancelled. The new construction of a replacement facility will result in a shorter construction schedule, offer more opportunities to employ some of the economical construction techniques that are currently being discussed statewide, and be designed to exactly match the educational program for a modern school without compromise. Sharpsburg Elementary School was originally constructed in 1936, and received its first addition in 1967. Both the 1936 and 1967 buildings were renovated in 1983, at which time it received a second addition. The current 31,684 sq. ft. school operates as a 2 -round facility, and has been a longtime fixture of the Sharpsburg community. As shown in Photo I below, the two additions (areas in green/red) were added around the original 1936 facility (area in blue). The 1936 portion of the building is currently identified as a contributing resource to the Sharpsburg Historic District. www.wcps.kl2.md.us Sharpsburg Elementary School Floor Plan with Age of Buildings/Renovations Indicated Photo 1: Existing Facility Ages 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 ��q l CV PU? Built 19361 Renovated 1983 ElBuilt 1961/Renovated 1983 Built1983 PS - The existing Sharpsburg Elementary School has a state -rated capacity (SRC) of 252 students and its enrollment is projected to remain at or over capacity for the next ten (10) years. Its official enrollment has been recorded above its SRC for every year in the last 20 years, peaking at 142% of SRC. WCPS is proposing to replace the existing school with a larger, more efficient, 471 student capacity facility to help alleviate enrollment issues in the southern Washington County region, including the Boonsboro area. The FY 2018 CIP request will seek planning approval for a new 59,818 square foot replacement facility, to be constructed on the same, but now expanded www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 site, as the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School. This approach will allow the replacement school to continue to act as a community center in the same location where the current school building has stood for 80 years. The proposed budget that will accompany the planning request will include local funding to be used to mitigate any adverse effects related to the anticipated demolition of this facility. The current Sharpsburg Elementary Facility is located on a 5.1 acre site. On May 19, 2015, the Washington County Board of County Commissioners approved the acquisition of two (2) adjacent parcels to the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School site for future conveyance to WCPS. The intent of this purchase was to ultimately increase the area of the site to 11.6 acres, offer additional options to address the existing educational service, safety, site, and facility issues that this project will face, and provide opportunities for playfields to be utilized by the community. During the course of the year following the acquisition of the land, WCPS has had representatives from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) onsite to review the additional parcels, and the current proposed scope of work for this project. Through the assistance of the MDP, on May 27, 2016, both the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School site and the proposed additional properties were added to the Sharpsburg Priority Funding Area (PFA). On June 15, 2016, after receiving the MDP State Clearinghouse approval, the IAC approved the two (2) additional parcels to be added to the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School site. While it has been over a year long process to get to this point, WCPS would like to thank all of the state agencies for their time, effort, expertise, and assistance in aiding this important project to move forward within all requirements of COMAR. Sharpsburg Elementary School has been shown in either the Washington County CIP or Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) for the last 9 years, due to concerns over both the facilities assessment and available capacity. Starting in the 2012 EFMP and FY 2014 CIP, this project was strategically moved ahead of a previously proposed new "South County" Elementary School, in an effort to replace this aging facility, increase efficiency at an existing school location, and to offer enrollment relief to the south county region as a whole. The increased capacity of the proposed facility will provide enrollment relief until the economic conditions improve and residential construction of planned large developments in the south county region comes to fruition. This project will replace an aging, inadequate, and small elementary school facility with a modern, state -of -the art facility that could allow full-time staffing of various educational programs that are now staffed part time at the current school, providing increased opportunities for students. In the near future, WCPS will begin the process of procuring services from design professionals for this project. WCPS has conferred with the Maryland Historic Trust (MHT) on this proposed project, and it has been determined that demolition of the original 1936 building would constitute an adverse effect on the historic property. In its correspondence, MHT acknowledged that WCPS's alternatives to avoid or minimize those adverse effects are limited, due to the projects capacity needs and site constraints. MHT has agreed to work with WCPS, similar to the approach at Bester Elementary School, to develop appropriate measures to mitigate the projects adverse effects (see the attached March 15, 2016 letter from MHT). In addition, MHT has requested that WCPS coordinate with the Trust to assess the proposed design of the new facility in an effort to avoid adverse effects (viewshed) on the adjacent Sharpsburg Historic District itself. www.wcps.k12.md.us .1ra1 1 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Based on staff's experience, and in effort to keep this project moving forward, WCPS is requesting the exception from a feasibility study based on the following information: 1936 Building Layout & Floor Elevations • The 1936 building exhibits major architectural design issues for a renovation project based on the adjacencies of existing spaces, the layout of corridors, and the current floor level. To create a functional, efficient, and secure facility, these issues would be difficult and expensive to rectify in an unoccupied building, let alone an educational facility that is over enrollment, and would need to maintain current educational programs during construction activities. • The 1936 building section currently houses the administration area, as well as the kitchen, cafeteria, gym, undersized health suite, and an "open space" media center through which a main corridor passage runs. The current corridor layout and elevation would limit the programmatic options, locations, and floor levels to connect classrooms areas added by an addition. • Accessibility Concerns - As shown in Photo 1, the 1967 building addition, which houses five (5) classrooms, currently connects to an original 1936 corridor via two ramps that do not comply with ADA regulations. To make these ramps compliant, extensive modifications to existing program spaces or the corridor layout could be required (see Photo 2 below). These necessary modifications would be made more difficult due to two classrooms that were added by infilling a courtyard (created in the 1967 renovation) as part of the 1983 addition project. The floor elevation of the 1936 building is above sidewalk level at the main entrance to the school, necessitating the need for a ramp (see Photo 3) that serves, but also crowds, this entrance to this facility. A building addition or modification at this location would be problematic based on multiple reasons including the varying floor elevations, and existing site constraints. • The administrative area for this facility is located away from the main entrance via an existing corridor. To create a modern secure entrance that would provide access control to this facility, and to create an administrative area of adequate size, would minimally require the elimination of an existing classroom and stage area. • The majority of the areas in this 1936 building have carpet or VCT overlaid on top of the original wood floors/wooden floor joists, constructed over an existing crawl space. While VCT is the preferred flooring material for most spaces, the flexing of the wood flooring underneath often causes the tile to crack or loosen. The floors could technically be lowered, but it would be at great cost, and create a floor level issue with the 1983 classroom addition to the east that currently matches the existing 1936 elevation. • WCPS anticipates that a thorough structural investigation of the existing flooring system would determine that a large portion would need to be replaced based on the existing conditions. Despite creating door height, window and corridor issues, a lower floor could add to the limited interstitial space above the ceilings if the ceilings/windows were lowered. If current elevations are maintained, there is a concern for the installation of updated HVAC duct systems as the approximate ceiling height to bottom chord of joist height varies between 9 to 17". • The gymnasium and media center are located east of the existing administrative area in the center of the facility. The classroom layout and the narrow hallways hinder circulation throughout this area of the building, and complicate the ability to install lockers for the intermediate grades. Their existing location could block the ability to construct an effective, integrated addition to on the south side of the facility to www.wcps.k12.md.us 1 1 IVLZ iiir" 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 increase enrollment capacity. The media center includes an existing open hallway which traverses two sides of the space to provide access to the 1983 classroom addition. In order to facilitate an effective learning environment, WCPS believes that these two building program components would be better separated to reduce noise transmission. Large "box" construction would then need to be added beyond the existing facility footprint to house one of these spaces. With an expanded capacity and the addition of classrooms, the current classroom layout would be difficult to modify to support the proposed 3 -round facility environment. Where possible, elementary facilities attempt to cluster classes of similar grade levels together to promote group learning and team teaching environments. Finally, the approach to modernizing or altering any portions of the existing 1936 facility would be further complicated based on the historical review/aspect of the facility.

Note the classroom on the left was created in 1983 by infilling an existing courtyard, and the original windows remain. www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 3: Main entrance to the building. The 1936 building is located on the right of the stairs/ramp at the higher elevation, and the 1967 building is located to the left at a lower elevation. Note the different brick colors and architectural styles between the different aged buildings. www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Roof issues on the 1936 building. • Portions of the roof assembly of the 1936 building incorporates wood structural roof decking, supported on wood joists, as shown in Photo 4. Current construction standards require the use of all non- combustible materials such as metal deck for structural components of the building. Accomplishing this will require the entire roof be demolished and replaced, or modified to meet code. Photo 4: Existing wood roof joists/decking in the 1936 building www.wcps.k12.md.us rp I Washington County I Public Schools Site Layout 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 The current site is restrictive based upon the building's proximity, frontage, and elevation to Maryland Route 34 and the adjacent properties. As shown in Photo 5, the existing building footprint encompasses approximately 80% of the site frontage at the street. The building itself is within 10' of current adjacent property line to the east. Any new proposed addition, or major modification would be subject to new zoning regulations and set -back. The remaining 20% of the site frontage is utilized as an entrance/exit for a single vehicular paved area that currently serves as the bus loop, parent pick-up/drop-off loop, staff and visitor parking, and food service/maintenance deliveries. The school currently has an old, unused bus loop/pull off area in front of the facility which can be seen in Photo 6. The street level elevation is 11' lower than the elevation of the 1936 building. This antiquated loop/area is no longer utilized by the school facility due to it only being able to stage two (2) buses when the current enrollment necessitates seven (7) buses. In addition, there is no direct access from the school's main entrance to this area. In the past, students/staff would have to exit through the main entrance via the stairs/ramp, traverse around the side of the building, go down the existing stone stairs/ramp to utilize this area. Buses and/or vehicles are also unable to turn left out of the loop to travel west on Maryland Route 34. Current practice involves the placement of cones at this entrance every day to keep parents from parking in this area. The current traffic patterns for vehicular and bus ingress/egress from the elementary school are of concern. Many modern day students that are within walking distance, have school system transportation available, or are dropped off by parents via personal vehicles. This trend has identified a need (both for safety and security) for separate parent and bus drop off areas, similar to those installed at all new WCPS elementary schools. By separating these areas, a safer and more controlled delivery and pick-up is maintained and managed. Additionally, a secondary means of access to a school facility is preferred in the event of a situation where one entrance is blocked and an emergency response to the facility is required. If the current building was modernized and capacity was increased, there would be many site constraints that would arise and in turn could create confusion and poor management of traffic patterns of the area during and after construction. The location of additional portable classrooms for temporary classroom space during a modernization, and that also meet ADA requirements, provide adequate security/access control, and not interfere with construction activities would be difficult to achieve during a renovation/modernization project at this facility. www.wcps.k12.md.us IVLt 1Etut" 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 5: Aerial view of Sharpsburg Elementary and the original 5 acre site. www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 6: Current entrance (right) to Sharpsburg Elementary and the old bus loop (left) that is no longer utilized by the School due to safety/security/traffic concerns. www.wcps.kl2.md.us Washington County 10435 Downsville Pike W'CpS Public Schools Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Proposed Solution: • Photo 7 shows an aerial view of the original 5 acre site, the new 6.5 acre area that was approved to be added by the IAC on June 15, 2016, and WCPS's proposed location for a new replacement facility. The advantages of locating the new building towards the North/East area of the enlarged site are that it would allow the new building to be completely constructed while students continue to attend school at the existing facility. Demolition and finalization of driveways and parking lots in the area vacated by the demolition would occur only after the new facility was complete and ready to be occupied. • This approach eliminates the need and cost of temporary housing for students during the construction period. It would also eliminate the need and cost to relocate the boilers and chillers, and the current water/sewer service lines. • As evident in Photo 8, this approach would more easily allow for the possibility of a separate bus and parent drop off/pick-up loop, create a more level elevation, separate play fields from vehicular areas, and offer a possible means of secondary ingress/egress. • Most importantly, students and staff would not be subject to the noise and interruptions of construction activities in close proximity, providing a more stable learning environment. www.wcps.kl2.md.us 1 1 1 7 r 1 11 Photo 7: Aerial view of the existing Sharpsburg Elementary site, the areas approved by the IAC to be added to the site, and the proposed location of a new replacement facility. 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 www.wcps.k12.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 8: CONCEPT Depiction of a new replacement Sharpsburg Elementary with separate bus loop, parent drop off loop, and playfields. (Note the potential for a secondary site entrance on the East side of the site). Accessibility and Historic Design Challenges Although the 1936 section of the facility was renovated in 1983, there are numerous areas that are not in compliance with ADAAG, including step ramps, narrow doorways, inadequate means of egress, inadequate restrooms, and areas of refuge. Photos 9 through 12 depict some of the accessibility issues that would need to be addressed in modernization/renovation of the existing facility. Correction of these inadequacies, while maintaining interior and exterior historic design elements, as required by MHT, would be cumbersome and costly to construct and maintain. In addition, MHT has already expressed concerns over the potential viewshed of any building or site modifications that could negatively impact the historic district and the Antietam Battlefield. www.wcps.kl2.md.us 'wcpsI Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 9: Grade elevation and ADA issues with the rear classroom exit and portable classrooms located at the rear of the existing school. www.wcps.k12.rnd.us i 1 1 1 `} III S 1 11 Photo 10: Narrow Corridors (non ADA compliant) leading to existing classrooms in the 1967 building. 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 11: Non ADA Compliant doors and restrooms www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 12: Non ADA compliant Exit from the 1983 classroom addition main corridor on the East side of the building. Note: These exit doors are located within 10' of the adjacent parcel which is currently separated by a chain link fence. High Performance Building Act Re -use of the existing building or just the 1936 building would limit WCPS and its design team's ability to meet the requirements of the High Performance Building Act. While there would be LEED points associated with reusing an existing building, many of the critical daylighting and mechanical design elements that are employed to obtain the required LEED Silver rating would be difficult and costly to employ when considering the re -use of the building. Based on the overall complexity/added sequencing costs of renovating an existing facility while it maintains educational services, and the anticipated available state and local funds to complete this project, a waiver from the High Performance Building Act requirements may have to be requested in order to make this project feasible. www.wcps.kl2.md.us Washington County Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 As previously stated, in the near future WCPS will procure services from design professionals for this project. In addition, it will begin the compilation of Educational Specifications, which will be submitted and reviewed by MSDE. While any facility could be renovated or modernized, it always comes at additional costs, limiting design constraints, and most importantly, potentially negative impacts to the educational services that are able to be provided. If the IAC would agree to grant this request for exception or waiver, WCPS would be able to: • Better plan the facility around actual needs to provide the best educational facility possible within the established budget. • Avoid non -beneficial costs (short term construction requirements) associated with scheduling, providing temporary educational facilities, and potentially limiting historical review/design elements. • Provide generally un-interrupted educational services to the students at the existing facility while construction activities occur. • Receive a new facility without existing design limitations, or components that date back past 80 years, to maintain for the next 50 years. • Minimize architectural design fees, time, and the complexity of coordinating the associated combined feasibility study/Educational Specification/MHT review that would be required. The approval of this exception or waiver request in conjunction with current FY 2018 CIP request will allow WCPS to keep this project moving forward both locally and with the State CIP process to ensure that the facility will be ready to open in August of 2020. If planning approval is granted, Washington County Public Schools will proceed to submit the schematic and design development documents for this facility by the September 1, 2017 and November 1, 2017 deadlines while seeking construction funding approval in the FY 2019 CIP: In recent years, WCPS has completed several elementary school projects in conjunction with the IAC to satisfy enrollment increases for our county. For many of these projects, including Rester Elementary, Maugansville Elementary, Pangbom Elementary and the new Jonathan Hager Elementary, WCPS has attempted to be pro- active in replacing and/or upgrading aging, inadequate facilities in our inventory at the same time. This has been the direction that WCPS feels is the most beneficial to maintaining educational services to our citizens, and providing a total facility inventory to maintain in the most fiscally responsible manner possible. We welcome your questions and comments on our request and we thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Chad K. Criswell Senior Project Manager & Planning Supervisor CC: Robert H.

The current school was originally constructed in 1936 and received additions and improvements in 1967 and 1983. The original 16,520 gross square foot school was built in 1936, and received a 7,000 square foot addition in 1967. In 1983, both the 1936 and the 1967 areas were renovated, and an 8,164 square foot addition was added to the building. The current Sharpsburg Elementary school facility is 31,684 gross square feet. The existing Sharpsburg Elementary is projected to be the lowest ranking facility in the Washington County Public Schools (WCPSs) annual facility assessment upon the retirement of Conococheague and Winter Street elementary schools in accordance with the 2015 Educational Facility Master Plan (EFMP). This project is proposed to increase the state -rated capacity (SRC) of Sharpsburg Elementary from 252 to 471 students. The new/replacement facility will provide a 471 student, 3 -round Pre -K thru 5th Grade elementary school facility. In addition to updating an outdated facility, the additional capacity will provide enrollment relief to Sharpsburg, Boonsboro, and Pleasant Valley elementary schools. A request for planning approval will be made in FY 2018. Anticipated project completion will be in FY 2021. As part of this proposed project, the existing facility will be demolished upon the completion of the new facility. This would result in a change to the current street view of the facility from Shepherdstown Pike. It should be noted that currently, the 1967 addition (which was renovated in 1983), serves as Sharpsburg Elementary "Street Presence" or "front facade" to Shepherdstown Pike. (See the attached Sharpsburg Elementary School Floor Plan with Age of Buildings/Renovations indicated) The new Sharpsburg Elementary is proposed to be located behind the current facility. The Washington County Board of County Commissioners are in process of transferring two (2) additional, adjacent sites to the Washington County Board of Education for this project. These sites are located behind existing residential dwellings. Upon the transfer of these areas, property lines will be vacated, and the site shape will resemble an "L". The new/replacement Sharpsburg Elementary facility is proposed to be partially located on the existing site and the transferred sites. This would result in the new facility being located back from Shepherdstown Pike.

Maryland county and state Sharpsburg is located in southern Washington County, about three miles from the Potomac River. on the alignment of an 18`s century road, now Maryland Route 34. The Sharpsburg Historic District covers the entire town plus a small amount of adjoining property adjacent to the town boundary. as well as Mountain View Cemetery, the town's burying ground established in 1883. The town is laid out in a grid pattern with two streets, Main and Mechanic, crossing at a central square. Sharpsburg is one of only three towns in Washington County with a public square. The others are Hagerstown, the county seat, and Leitersburg, a small unincorporated village in the northeastern part of the county. Established in 1763, Sharpsburg consists of a series of rectangular lots, each approximately 100 by 200 feet facing onto Main Street (MD Route 34), an early road that led from Frederick, Maryland into Virginia (now West Virginia)- Mechanic Street led north toward Hagerstown (then Elizabeth Town) and south to the Antietam Iron Works and on to Harpers Ferry Virginia (now West Virginia). Near the southwest quadrant of this intersection lies the Great Spring, which supplied water for the town for many years. The extant buildings range in age from the late 18th century to the present day. The character of the town is residential with.most of the buildings being houses, along with assorted support buildings. In addition to dwellings the town has six churches, four of them active, an elementary school built in 1936 with more recent additions, and a former American Legion hall built in 1949. A two story Italianate style Masonic Hall occupies the southeast corner of the square, with the Classical Revival influenced IORM building containing the Town Hall and library next door. The Masonic building has commercial space with original storefronts on the first floor. Many of the town lots have been split in half with 50 -foot fronts, leaving the streetscape fairly densely built along the main street The oldest buildings are log, stone or braced frame, with brick buildings dating from about 1820 and later. Later balloon frame buildings and more recent materials such as concrete block represent the late 19`s and early 20`s century. Surface materials, in addition to stone and brick, range from original wooden sidings from various periods to asphalt ("Insul-brick"), aluminum and vinyl siding. General Description The Sharpsburg Historic District for the most part follows the town boundaries, bordered by properties facing onto the north side of Chapline Street on the north, the boundary of Mountain View Cemetery on the east, the west edge of Antietam National Cemetery, High Street, and the Sharpsburg Elementary School. Properties within the district are enumerated and described in the following inventory.

One block to the east of the square, Church Street crosses Main, with Main Street continuing east to the cemeteries, Antietam National Cemetery on the south side of the street and the town's Mountain View Cemetery on the north side. To the west of the square, the town stretches for three blocks, with Hall and Potomac Streets crossing Main. Mechanic Street runs north -south crossing Main Street at the town square. Chapline Street parallels Main Street to the north and Antietam and High Streets to the south. Alleys run between these streets. Generally lots are laid out north -south, with buildings facing onto Main, Chapline, Antietam and High Streets. A few short lots face onto Mechanic, and even fewer onto Church, Hall and Potomac Streets. The oldest buildings are concentrated on Main Street between Church Street and Hall Street, and this two -block span is also the most densely developed. This section of town also contains some of the most distinctive buildings. Among them is a collection of four 18`s century stone houses with precision cut/hammered stone facades. Three of the four are individually listed in the National Register. All follow the Georgian -inspired five bay central entrance plan. Most of the other houses are brick or sided or brick -cased log. Most are side -gabled and many are L-shaped with double porches -along -the service wing. Along the eastern and western extremities of Main Street, log and frame houses prevail. Five of the town's six churches stand on the north side of Main Street, from east to west, the Lutheran, Brethren, Reformed, Methodist (not in use), and Episcopal. Separated two blocks to the south on East High Street is Tolson's Chapel, the former Methodist "Colored Church" (National Register listed). Tolson's Chapel is currently vacant and undergoing restoration. Along Chaplin, Antietam and High Streets, the streetscape is less densely built with houses spaced farther apart. Buildings are somewhat smaller with frame and log construction dominating, and a few stone houses with coursed rubble masonry interspersed. There are also some non-residential buildings, such as the Post Office and Fire Hall, and a former feed mill on the south side of Chapline Street. The Post Office and Fire Hall date from the mid 20`s century, and the feed mill from the early 20`h century. In addition to the majority of residences are several commercial buildings, most of them located within one block of the square in each direction. Among them is a batik, housed behind a copper front inscribed "BANK", added to the Joseph C. Hays House on the northwest quadrant of the square in 1920 [this was actually an alteration of the building]. The house and bank are individually listed in the National Register. In addition to the bank are restaurants, two taverns and two bed and breakfast establishments_ A gas station stands on the comer of Church and Main Streets. The town Library occupies part of the Town Hall on the square. Several buildings near the square, which are now residential, were formerly hotels. Other dwellings had small commercial enterprises within them, but most of those uses have vanished, but their storefronts remain. NPS Form 10-900a (8-88) United States Department of the Interior tonal Park Service National Register of Historic Places "'sto' Sharpsburg HiHistoric District Continuation Sheet name of property OMS No. 1024-0018 Washington County, Maryland Section number 7 Page 3 county and state Lining the alleyways behind the houses stand numerous outbuildings, such as stables, garages, smoke houses, summer kitchens and sheds. Dry -laid stone fences also border some of the alleys. Most of these elements date from the period of significance and help to define the town's historic character. Newer infill housing mingles with older buildings, especially at the extremities of the district. These dwellings are generally one-story ranch -type houses. While the two cemeteries define the east end of the district, the Sharpsburg School marks the west end. Built in 1936, it sits behind a high limestone retaining wall and has several modem additions. Integrity The Sharpsburg Historic District retains integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The town retains essentially the same boundaries it has had since the mid 19`h century. The surrounding landscape to the northeast, east and southeast is part of the Antietam National Battlefield and thus protected and preserved to maintain its 1860s character. Easements protect other adjoining lands. This situation has prevented typical suburban fringe development around much of the town, and helped to preserve the residential character. Stone, brick, concrete block and some wood buildings retain integrity of materials, but synthetic sidings cover some log and frame buildings. Despite these non -historic treatments and some modem infill construction, the district retains its visual character and projects the feel of and associations with its history. There are relatively few non-contributing elements in the district. Inventory The following inventory enumerates and describes the properties located within the Sharpsburg Historic District Each property is assigned a reference number, called "NR No." and identified by Name, Address, or Parcel Number. A construction date and brief description are provided, followed by a count of the number and type of contributing and/or non-contributing resources which the property contains.

Constructed in 1936, with additions in 1967 and 1983,. Sharpsburg Elementary School is a contributing resource to the. Sharpsburg Historic District (WA -11-723), which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The extant school building does not meet the requirements of the community and the current WCPS Educational Specifications. In 2016, WCPS received approval to waive the Feasibility Study stage of the project due to the complex constraints of the site and existing structure. As such, the undertaking moving forward is the demolition of the Sharpsburg Elementary School and construction of a new school building. This will result in an adverse effectto the historic district. As the undertaking is partially funded by the PSCP, the project is subject to the Maryland Historic Trust Act of 1985, which. follows Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.(NHPA) of 1966, as amended, 54 USC § 300101 and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR § 800. The Section 106 process was initiated by WCPS in March 2016 and a public Consulting Patty Meeting (CPM) was held at Sharpsburg Elementary School on July 27, 2017. The meeting focused on ways to mitigate the adverse effect to the historic district and the public comments are outlined below, Building a Community That Inspires Curiosity, Creativity, and Achievement. www.wcpsmd,com WCpSI Washington County I Public Schools Public Comments:. 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown, MD 21740 301-766-2800 Interpretive Signage/historic Displays: • Want to see history of school embraced in an exhibit or display of some kind. Story boards were mentioned. Documentation: • Would like to see additional research done with the Sharpsburg Historical Society to see if there is any additional documentation or historic photographs. • Teachers at the meeting proposed asking members of the community about additional historical information or artifacts about the school. • Would like to see something like the display at Sharpsburg Historical Society that memorialized the pre - 1936 school. Honoring the Historic School Site: Try to honor the historic 1936 building's footprint with plants, trees, or gardens. Try and incorporate a peace garden in place of the historic school site; it could be a circular shape with a. fountain in the center, surrounded by benches. Weeping willows and peace roses could be incorporated. Children could plant the garden in the shape of the old school to flow from the historic entrance steps and stone walls. Sensitive Design ofNew School: • The new design should be aesthetically pleasing and blend in with the surrounding buildings. • The new design should be conservative, like the surrounding town, with traditional materials sympathetic to the local vernacular. • As the largest building in Sharpsburg, the new design needs to be respectful and it is good there will not be much visibility of the school from the road because of the grade change at the rear of site. • Like that the larger masses of the building will be on the lower parts of the property so the building will read like a one-story structure upon approach to the main entrance. Layout: • Concern about separating playgrounds from houses so monitoring people and children is easier, as it is hard to know who belongs and who does not. Retention ofHistoric Fabric: • Use "Sharpsbutg" stone marquee sign and incorporate. in new school design; would prefer it to be re -used on the building, not on the site. • Use "graduation stairs" as some sort of artifact; perhaps have them framed so the children could touch the original 1936 stage floor before graduating.

Documentation: • WCPS will execute a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Form which will fully document the building, including extensive archival and photographic research, and will be submitted to WIT prior to any demolition or work is done to the historic school building. Honoring the Historic School Site: • Existing stone retaining walls at historic bus loop and other curb cuts are to be cleaned up and reused to maintain historic street appearance. Mortar joints will be repointed and cast stone caps will be replaced: One of the three existing curb cuts needs to be widened to allow fox buses turning into the site. Stone retaining walls at this curb cut will be rebuilt to match original with the existing stones. • Footprint of existing school will be marked in the ground through the usage of plantings and/or retention of parts of the rubble foundation. Sensitive Design ofNew School: • the new school design will intentionally be set back from Shepherdstown Pike. The building will flow with the slope of the land to the east, so that the larger, two-story mass of the rear of the building will not overwhelm the residential scale of this portion of Sharpsburg. • The design team is working to create an exterior facade of this facility that will speak to the scale and materiality of the Sharpsburg historic district. Specific influences include the 1936 building, the rubble stone foundations prominent in this region, the painted wood and brick buildings located within the adjacent town of Sharpsburg, and the Antietam Battlefield Observation Tower. The fa�ade of the building, while not readily visible from Shepherdstown Pike, shall reflect the many historic structures within this town, while providing an educational facility suited to the academic success and safety of all students and occupants.

Drive aisles, parking lot and service entrance have been located on north side of the property, adjacent to neighboring residential plots. Retention of historic fabric: • The cornerstone, cast stone Sharpsburg Elementary School sign, and the 1936 stage floor artifact shall all be retained and reincorporated within the new school building in some capacity. • Will work with. construction manager to investigate the viability of salvaging existing brick during demolition. Brick will be turned over to school if abatement considerations can be overcome As a result, and through the coordination efforts of the design team of Smolen Emr Ilkovitch Architects and EHT Traceries, the following Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was developed that outlines the efforts that WCPS will make and ways to utilize the stakeholder ideas to mitigate the adverse effect.

REVIEW PROCEDURES - DEMOLITION PERMITS Adopted by Board of County Commissioners - January 3, 1989 Amended - July 17, 1990 At the regular meeting on January 3, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a policy to provide that applications for a demolition permit for any structure which is identified in the Washington County Historical Sites Inventory be transmitted to the Planning Commission for review and comment. It is the Commissioners' intention that both the Planning Commission and the Historic District Commission (via transmittal from Planning) would have the opportunity to review these applications and provide any comments within a maximum of 60 days from the date of application. This policy does not provide for approval or disapproval of the demolition permit by either the Planning Commission or the Historic District Commission. Demolition permits will still be issued solely on the basis of meeting the technical requirements of applicable codes. The Board does feel, however, that proposed demolition of a structure with historical significance should be brought to the attention of all affected or interested parties so that appropriate measures through other existing programs or actions may be taken as necessary. It is the Board's desire that the review be completed promptly and, as previously stated, within no more than a 60 -day period. The demolition permit is not to be issued until the Planning Commission review is complete within the prescribed time frame. AMENDMENT - July 17, 1990 It is not the intent of this policy to negate or in any way change the existing authority granted to the Historic District Commission by Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding review, approval or disapproval of demolition permits in the Historic Preservation (HP) Zone.

The two story frame house is thought to date to the first decade of the twentieth century. Modest in size and character, its only ornamentation is provided by the cross gable and wooden window surrounds. The house has been altered with the application of asphalt siding, the replacement -of the front porch and construction of a rear addition. The An example of a common vernacular house type, the Anita Rice House does not appear to possess any particular architectural significance and thus is unlikely to be eligible under Criterion C. It is not known to have any association with significant events or people, and thus is unlikely to be eligible under Criteria A or B.

The Anita Rice House occupies a site on the east side of MD 632 on a slight curve in the road. The house is oriented east towards MD 632. The house is situated in a low density, residential area surrounded by modern, single family dwellings. The house is bordered to the south by a one-story, single family dwelling and a park owned by the Washington County Parks Commission. A two-story, brick dwelling is located north of the house at the intersection of Halfway Boulevard. The Anita Rice House (parcel 408) is a vernacular, two-story, wood frame dwelling constructed ca. 1900-1910. The house adopts a rectangular ground plan. The building consists of a two-story core and small one story rear addition. The design of the building does not incorporate stylistic ornamentation. The original wood clapboard siding of the building has been sheathed with asphalt shingles. All the windows are two -over -two light, double -hung wood sash units with simple wood surrounds. The wood -frame building core is three bays wide and one room deep. The building rests on a random rubble foundation. The building features a gable roof with a projecting center gable on the primary (west) elevation. The roof Is sheathed with metal standing seam panels. Interior -end chimneys mark the gable -ends of the roof. A simple, wooden box -cornice defines the building eaves. The primary (west) elevation of the building core features a central wood paneled door with simple wood surrounds that is surmounted by a three light transom. The door is flanked by a two -over -two light, double -hung, wood -sash windows with simple wood surrounds. The second floor exhibits three, symmetrically aligned windows that are two -over -two light, double -hung, wood -sash units with simple wood surrounds. A four -light, wooden - sash window is located in the central projected gable. A one-story, hipped porch supported by four circular wood posts extends across the front elevation. The lower halves of the circular wooden posts have been replaced by four poured concrete piers. The wood posts and concrete piers are supported by a poured concrete slab foundation. Semi -circular engaged posts mark the corners where the porch adjoins the building. The second floor, rear (west) elevation of the building core features three, symmetrically aligned windows of two -over -two light, double -hung sash design. The first floor of the rear (west) elevation is obscured by a one-story, wood -frame addition. Both floor of the north elevation are marked by a single two -over -two light double hung wood sash window with simple wood surrounds. A four -light, wood -frame window is locate on the gable- end. The south elevation of the building is identical in design to the north elevation, with the exception of the window location. The rear, wood -frame, one-story addition extends across the west elevation of the building core. The rear addition rests on a concrete block foundation. The addition features a low pitched shed roof sheathed in composition shingles. The walls of the addition are clad with asphalt shingles, as is the entire building. The rear addition is two bays wide and one room deep. The rear elevation of the addition features an exterior concrete block chimney that is located at the center of the wall. The chimney extends above the second story level of the main structure. The chimney is flanked on the north by a door opening that has been infilled with a small, two -over -two light, double - hung, wood- sash window. The lower half of the door opening below the window is Infilled with vertical wood siding. The chimney is flanked on the south by a door bay that has been infilled with wood siding. None of the original wooden door surround survive. Anita Rice House (WA -i-692) Washington County, Maryland Page 7.2 The north elevation of the addition features a wood -paneled, single -light door that is flanked to the west by a small, two -over -two light, double -hung, wood -sash window. The south elevation of the addition features a two -over -two light, double -hung, wood -sash window. Access to the interior of the house was not possible under the current Investigation. The exterior configuration of the building suggests that the dwelling may adopt an I -House plan characterized by a central hall with flanking rooms. The rear (west) addition appears to be divided into two rooms and most likely served as a kitchen. The building has been vacant for several years and Is deteriorated substantially. A sag in the ridge line suggests that the roof framing may be in poor condition. The stacks of the interior brick chimneys are failing and the original horizontal wood siding exhibits evidence of water damage. Anita Rice House (WA -1-692) Washington County, Maryland Page 8.1 Summary The Anita Rice House is located is located approximately 0.2 km (1/4 ml) north of the intersection of MD 632 at 1-70. The Anita Rice House is an example of a simple vernacular dwelling constructed ca. 1900-1910. The complex was evaluated for those qualities of integrity and significance identified in the National Register of Historic Places criteria (36 CFR• 60.4 [a -d]. The design and physical characteristics of the complex were analyzed for their potential local significance during the period of Industrial/Urban Dominance (1870-1930 A.D.) in the area of agriculture and architecture as defined In the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Maryland Trust 1986). Site -specific History The area occupied by the Anita Rice House was once part of a larger eighteenth century land patent containing portions "Black Oak Ridge", "Heistertownand "David's Contentment". During the late nineteenth century, the area occupied by the Anita Rice House (parcel 408) was acquired by the Stockslager family. On March 23, 1897, Jacob R. Stocksiager purchased of 115 acres property located on the Downsville Pike from Jacob Roessner. The 1897 purchase contained portions of several early patents Including "Black Oak Ridge", "Heistertown" and "David's Contentment" (Washington County Land Records 106: 319). Jacob R. Stockslager owned the adjoining farm located northwest of the property. He had inherited the adjoining farm in 1879 following the death of his father, G. H Stocksiager. Jacob R. Stockslager, like his father, was a prosperous farmer and devote Lutheran (Williams 1906: 1077). Jacob R. Stockslager and his wife, Mary Elizabeth had eight children, all of whom were raised on the farm. Jacob Stockslager is credited with the construction of the ca. 1900-1910 two-story, wood -frame, vernacular house (parcel 408) located south of the intersection of Halfway Boulevard and the Downsville Pike. In August 9, 1927 Mary E. Stocksiager (widow) sold a portion of the farm containing the two-story, wood -frame, vernacular house to her son, Albert L Stockslager and his wife Neile A. Stockslager (Washington County Land Records 94: 178). They resided in the house until 1945, when they sold the house and adjoining property to William D. Rice and Anita V. Rice (Washington County Land Records 232: 183). In that same year, the Rices constructed a two-story, brick house on the adjoining lot (parcel 210) north of the frame dwelling. The Maryland State Road Administration purchased a right -way from the Rice family in 1952 for the expansion of the Downsville Pike, which Is located to the west of the older house. The use of the Anita Rice House (parcel 408) during the later half of the twentieth century is unknown; the house currently Is vacant. Conclusion The Anita Rice House is an example of a simple vernacular dwelling constructed ca. 1900-1910. Archival investigation does not suggest that the Rice House is associated with important events or with personages significant in the past (Criteria A & B). The building does not embody a distinctive characteristics of type, period or method of construction, nor does it represent the work of a master, nor does it possess high artistic (Criteria C). The Anita Rice House Is a modest example of a simple vernacular building, adopting a common I house form. The house retains its Anita Rice House (WA -1-692) Washington County, Maryland Page 8.2 original form, materials, workmanship and design from its period of construction. Though retaining it overall integrity the Anita Rice House does not possess those qualities of significance as defined by the National Register of Historic Places criteria for elevation. The Anita Rice is similar in design and construction to numerous other early twentieth century examples found throughout the Washington.

ARTICLE 20A- "AO" ANTIETAM OVERLAY DISTRICT131 Section The purpose of the Antietam Overlay District is to provide mechanisms for the protection of significant historic structures and land areas by requiring development and land subdivision to occur in a manner that 1) preserves the existing quality of the viewshed of the Antietam Battlefield, and 2) ensures that development of certain lands adjacent to the major roads which provide public access to the Antietam Battlefield (i.e., Maryland Routes 34 and 65) is compatible with the agricultural and historic character of the area. The "AO" District is an overlay zone meant to enhance, not substitute for the existing underlying zoning designation, which regulates land use. Section (a) Subdistricts Established and Areas Delineated 1. The Antietam Overlay District is comprised of these subdistricts: The Battlefield Buffer (AO -1), the Approach Zones (AO -2), and the Red Hill Area (AO -3). 2. Lands zoned AO -1 (Battlefield Buffer) and AO -3 (Red Hill Area) are situated within the Battlefield Foreground and Red Hill Middleground, respectively, of the Antietam Viewshed, as determined by the National Park Service and documented in its April 1988 technical study entitled Analysis of the Visible Landscape: Antietam. The boundaries of the AO -1 and AO -3 zones conform to property boundaries except where manmade or natural features provide suitable boundaries. 3. Lands zoned AO -2 (Approach Zones) are situated within 1000 feet of the centerline of certain road segments, and do not necessarily conform to property boundaries. The length of the AO -2 (Approach Zones) are as shown on the zoning maps. Section 20A.2 AO -1 Battlefield Buffer Regulation (a) The regulations and criteria in this subsection are in addition to the conventional underlying zoning which regulates land use. (b) The following additional regulation shall apply: The exterior appearance of all uses, unless otherwise exempted by County Ordinance, shall automatically be subject to the provisions of Article 20, Historic Preservation District, and Section 20.6. 131 Revision 14, Article 20A replaced in its entirety 7/26/05 (RZ-03-005) 191 Section 20A.3 AO -2 Approach Zone Regulations (a) The regulations and criteria in this subsection are in addition to the conventional underlying zoning which regulates land use. (b) The exterior appearance of all commercial and nonresidential uses excluding all farm structures shall be subject to the provisions of Article 20, Historic Preservation District, and Section 20.6. Section 20A.4 AO -3 Red Hill Area (a) The regulations and criteria in this subsection are in addition to the conventional underlying zoning which regulates land use. (b) Prior to any tree cutting activity in the AO -3 Zone which is not associated with development of or construction on the property, a Forestry Management Plan, as prepared by Maryland Department of Natural Resources - Forest, Park and Wildlife Service, or a Registered Professional Forester and approved by the Forest, Park and Wildlife Service, must be submitted to the Planning Department. (The cutting of firewood and dead trees for personal use shall be permitted). Subsequent cutting of trees on the property shall be in accordance with the Forestry Management Plan. The plan will be kept on file with the Planning Department. A declaration of intent shall be filed with the Planning Department for tree harvesting activities in accordance with the Washington County Forest Conservation Ordinance. Unless exempt, all tree cutting relating to development of a property within the Antietam Overlay District shall be in accordance with an approved Forest Conservation Plan. 1. Tree removal, which is inconsistent with the Forestry Management Plan, is subject to the enforcement provisions included in Article 26 of the Ordinance with the exception that the offense shall not continue beyond the original cutting of each tree. 2. The property owner will be required to replace any trees cut inconsistently with the Forestry Management Plan with a similar or compatible variety. (c) The Zoning Administrator shall review applications for building permits, site plans and zoning certifications with respect to the cutting of trees, and may impose limitations on the number, location, and distribution of trees proposed for removal in order to minimize negative impact on viewshed quality. The Zoning Administrator shall use the guidelines in Section 20A.4(f) in deciding the disposition of the requested building permit, site plan or zoning certification. 192 Sharpsburg Elementary School Replacement Washington County Historic District Commission (HDC) Exhibits Building Permit #2018-0346 IMII71E3►DlddIBiwaI Project Location: 17525 Shepherdstown Pike Sharpsburg, MD 21782 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION A: TECHNICAL ELEVATIONS SECTION B: MATERIAL PALETTE SECTION C: RENDERED ELEVATIONS SECTION D: SITE PLAN SECTION E: MARYLAND HISTORIC TRUST (MHT) MEMORANDOM OF AGREEMENT SECTION F: MARYLAND HISTORIC TRUST CORRESPONDENCE 9211 Corporate Blvd, Suite 340, Rockville, Maryland 20850 . p: 301-770-0177 ® f 301-330-3224 . www,SElarch.com SECTION A: TECHNICAL ELEVATIONS 9211 Corporate Blvd, Suite 340, Rockville, Maryland 20850 s p: 301-770-0177 n f 301-330-3224 . www.SElarck.com e o 0 o 1 o ® m o� •- �"e 0 0 0 a m m p fSFa r wmwl `_ ':.:ifi a9vt c If� Q A I: vvn I -fl IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII 1111 IIII 1111 1111 1111 I at k 1 1111 9 Siii �II� I � �iilllll��llll� �III��III��IIII���III���III���� • m om a �=.i�e m SECTION B: MATERIAL PALETTE 9211 Corporate Blvd, Suite 340, Rockville, Maryland 20850 a p: 301-770-0177 ® f 301-330-3224 ® www.SElarch.com SECTION C: RENDERED ELEVATIONS 9211 Corporate Blvd, Suite 340, Rockville, Maryland 20850 a p: 301-770-0177 a f 301-330-3224 a www.SElarch.com ��= 5MOLEN.

This request is in compliance with the Programmatic Agreement between the Maryland Historical trust and the Maryland Public School Construction Program for Compliance with the Maryland Historical Trust Act of 1985, dated January 2, 2013. WCPS is requesting State participation on the funding of a replacement project at a Category I facility, and requests that MHT review the proposed scope of work to verify that there will be no adverse effect. To the best of our knowledge, this facility is not registered as an Individual Historical property. In our review, it was not identified in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) or the National Register Sites. http://washcogis2.washco- md.net/flexviewers3/Historic/ That being said, it was mentioned to be within the Sharpsburg Historic District (MIHP Site WA -11-0723). Surprisingly, the boundary of the historic district, does not indicate this statement, and the school Itself is located just outside (similarly, it is located just outside of the Priority Funding Area). The proposed project at this point in time is a new replacement Sharpsburg Elementary School to be constructed on the improved /enlarged site, and the existing Sharpsburg Elementary to be demolished. To help assist with MHT's review, WCPS has included several documents that depict the current buildings ages/renovation dates, the proposed property addition, and elevation views. Attached, please find the Section 106 Project Review Form for this proposed large capital improvement project, and the additional information requested for this process. Thank you again for your time and assistance on all of the projects associated with WCPS. Sincerely, Chad K. Criswell Senior Project and Planning Supervisor cc: Robert H. Rollins, III, Director of Facilities Planning & Development www.wcps.kl2.md.us W'CpS I Washington County I Public Schools August 8, 2016 Ms. Joan Schaefer, Acting Executive Director State of Maryland Public School Construction Program 200 W. Baltimore Street Baltimore, MD 21201 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Sharpsburg Elementary School — Request for Waiver from Feasibility Study Requirement for Planning Approval Ms. Schaefer, Washington County Public Schools' (WCPS's) proposed FY2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will include a request for planning approval for the construction of a replacement school for Sharpsburg Elementary School as its 15' priority. Consistent with the procedures outlined in the Section 203, Paragraph 203.7 of the Public School Construction Program's (PSCP's) Administrative Procedures Guide, WCPS is requesting that an exception, or waiver, be granted by the Interagency Committee on School Construction (IAC) from the requirement that a feasibility study be developed and submitted prior to the IAC's consideration of granting local planning and funding approval. This school replacement project, and the request for this approach, mirrors the Bester Elementary School replacement project that was successfully completed a few years ago. It is imperative that the current school be replaced with a new facility, similar to what was accomplished on other recent WCPS projects at Bester, Pangborn, and Maugansville elementary schools. The current, layout of the school, resulting from having been subject to two major, and many minor, renovations over its 80 year history, is not conducive to another major classroom addition, nor would accessibility and state-of-the-art safety and security measures be easily achieved. Because WCPS has no alternative "float" schools in which students could be housed during a complete modernization of the existing facility, a multi -year, phased project would be required which would have a direct and disruptive impact upon the educational needs of the students. A phased project would also result in higher costs that could force the project to be delayed or cancelled. The new construction of a replacement facility will result in a shorter construction schedule, offer more opportunities to employ some of the economical construction techniques that are currently being discussed statewide, and be designed to exactly match the educational program for a modern school without compromise. Sharpsburg Elementary School was originally constructed in 1936, and received its first addition in 1967. Both the 1936 and 1967 buildings were renovated in 1983, at which time it received a second addition. The current 31,684 sq. ft. school operates as a 2 -round facility, and has been a longtime fixture of the Sharpsburg community. As shown in Photo 1 below, the two additions (areas in green/red) were added around the original 1936 facility (area in blue). The 1936 portion of the building is currently identified as a contributing resource to the Sharpsburg Historic District. www.wcps.kl2.md.us wcsI Washington County I Public Schools Sharpsburg Elementary School Floor Plan with Age of Buildings/Renovations Indicated Photo 1: Existing Facility Ages 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 EliBuilt 19361 Renovated 1983 LII Built 1967 (Renovated 1983 Built 1983 The existing Sharpsburg Elementary School has a state -rated capacity (SRC) of 252 students and its enrollment is projected to remain at or over capacity for the next ten (10) years. Its official enrollment has been recorded above its SRC for every year in the last 20 years, peaking at 142% of SRC. WCPS is proposing to replace the existing school with a larger, more efficient, 471 student capacity facility to help alleviate enrollment issues in the southern Washington County region, including the Boonsboro area. The FY 2018 CIP request will seek planning approval for a new 59,818 square foot replacement facility, to be constructed on the same, but now expanded www.wcps.k12.md.us WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 site, as the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School. This approach will allow the replacement school to continue to act as a community center in the same location where the current school building has stood for 80 years. The proposed budget that will accompany the planning request will include local funding to be used to mitigate any adverse effects related to the anticipated demolition of this facility. The current Sharpsburg Elementary Facility is located on a 5.1 acre site. On May 19, 2015, the Washington County Board of County Commissioners approved the acquisition of two (2) adjacent parcels to the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School site for future conveyance to WCPS. The intent of this purchase was to ultimately increase the area of the site to 11.6 acres, offer additional options to address the existing educational service, safety, site, and facility issues that this project will face, and provide opportunities for playfields to be utilized by the community. During the course of the year following the acquisition of the land, WCPS has had representatives from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) onsite to review the additional parcels, and the current proposed scope of work for this project. Through the assistance of the MDP, on May 27, 2016, both the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School site and the proposed additional properties were added to the Sharpsburg Priority Funding Area (PFA). On June 15, 2016, after receiving the MDP State Clearinghouse approval, the AC approved the two (2) additional parcels to be added to the existing Sharpsburg Elementary School site. While it has been over a year long process to get to this point, WCPS would like to thank all of the state agencies for their time, effort, expertise, and assistance in aiding this important project to move forward within all requirements of COMAR. Sharpsburg Elementary School has been shown in either the Washington County CIP or Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) for the last 9 years, due to concerns over both the facilities assessment and available capacity. Starting in the 2012 EFMP and FY 2014 CIP, this project was strategically moved ahead of a previously proposed new "South County" Elementary School, in an effort to replace this aging facility, increase efficiency at an existing school location, and to offer enrollment relief to the south county region as a whole. The increased capacity of the proposed facility will provide enrollment relief until the economic conditions improve and residential construction of planned large developments in the south county region comes to fruition. This project will replace an aging, inadequate, and small elementary school facility with a modern, state -of -the art facility that could allow full-time staffing of various educational programs that are now staffed part time at the current school, providing increased opportunities for students. In the near future, WCPS will begin the process of procuring services from design professionals for this project. WCPS has conferred with the Maryland Historic Trust (MHT) on this proposed project, and it has been determined that demolition of the original 1936 building would constitute an adverse effect on the historic property. In its correspondence, MHT acknowledged that WCPS's alternatives to avoid or minimize those adverse effects are limited, due to the projects capacity needs and site constraints. MHT has agreed to work with WCPS, similar to the approach at Bester Elementary School, to develop appropriate measures to mitigate the projects adverse effects (see the attached March 15, 2016 letter from MHT). In addition, MHT has requested that WCPS coordinate with the Trust to assess the proposed design of the new facility in an effort to avoid adverse effects (viewshed) on the adjacent Sharpsburg Historic District itself. www.wcps.k12.md.us I Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Based on staff's experience, and in effort to keep this project moving forward, WCPS is requesting the exception from a feasibility study based on the following information: 1936 Building Layout & Floor Elevations • The 1936 building exhibits major architectural design issues for a renovation project based on the adjacencies of existing spaces, the layout of corridors, and the current floor level. To create a functional, efficient, and secure facility, these issues would be difficult and expensive to rectify in an unoccupied building, let alone an educational facility that is over enrollment, and would need to maintain current educational programs during construction activities. • The 1936 building section currently houses the administration area, as well as the kitchen, cafeteria, gym, undersized health suite, and an "open space" media center through which a main corridor passage runs. The current corridor layout and elevation would limit the programmatic options, locations, and floor levels to connect classrooms areas added by an addition. • Accessibility Concerns - As shown in Photo 1, the 1967 building addition, which houses five (5) classrooms, currently connects to an original 1936 corridor via two ramps that do not comply with ADA regulations. To make these ramps compliant, extensive modifications to existing program spaces or the corridor layout could be required (see Photo 2 below). These necessary modifications would be made more difficult due to two classrooms that were added by infilling a courtyard (created in the 1967 renovation) as part of the 1983 addition project. The floor elevation of the 1936 building is above sidewalk level at the main entrance to the school, necessitating the need for a ramp (see Photo 3) that serves, but also crowds, this entrance to this facility. A building addition or modification at this location would be problematic based on multiple reasons including the varying floor elevations, and existing site constraints. • The administrative area for this facility is located away from the main entrance via an existing corridor. To create a modern secure entrance that would provide access control to this facility, and to create an administrative area of adequate size, would minimally require the elimination of an existing classroom and stage area. • The majority of the areas in this 1936 building have carpet or VCT overlaid on top of the original wood floors/wooden floor joists, constructed over an existing crawl space. While VCT is the preferred flooring material for most spaces, the flexing of the wood flooring underneath often causes the tile to crack or loosen. The floors could technically be lowered, but it would be at great cost, and create a floor level issue with the 1983 classroom addition to the east that currently matches the existing 1936 elevation. • WCPS anticipates that a thorough structural investigation of the existing flooring system would determine that a large portion would need to be replaced based on the existing conditions. Despite creating door height, window and corridor issues, a lower floor could add to the limited interstitial space above the ceilings if the ceilings/windows were lowered. If current elevations are maintained, there is a concern for the installation of updated HVAC duct systems as the approximate ceiling height to bottom chord of joist height varies between 9 to 17". • The gymnasium and media center are located east of the existing administrative area in the center of the facility. The classroom layout and the narrow hallways hinder circulation throughout this area of the building, and complicate the ability to install lockers for the intermediate grades. Their existing location could block the ability to construct an effective, integrated addition to on the south side of the facility to www.wcps.k12.md.us I Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 increase enrollment capacity. The media center includes an existing open hallway which traverses two sides of the space to provide access to the 1983 classroom addition. In order to facilitate an effective learning environment, WCPS believes that these two building program components would be better separated to reduce noise transmission. Large "box" construction would then need to be added beyond the existing facility footprint to house one of these spaces. With an expanded capacity and the addition of classrooms, the current classroom layout would be difficult to modify to support the proposed 3 -round facility environment. Where possible, elementary facilities attempt to cluster classes of similar grade levels together to promote group learning and team teaching environments. Finally, the approach to modernizing or altering any portions of the existing 1936 facility would be further complicated based on the historical review/aspect of the facility.

Current construction standards require the use of all non- combustible materials such as metal deck for structural components of the building. Accomplishing this will require the entire roof be demolished and replaced, or modified to meet code. Photo 4: Existing wood roof joists/decking in the 1936 building www.wcps.kl2.md.us WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools Site Layout 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 The current site is restrictive based upon the building's proximity, frontage, and elevation to Maryland Route 34 and the adjacent properties. As shown in Photo 5, the existing building footprint encompasses approximately 80% of the site frontage at the street. The building itself is within 10' of current adjacent property line to the east. Any new proposed addition, or major modification would be subject to new zoning regulations and set -back. The remaining 20% of the site frontage is utilized as an entrance/exit for a single vehicular paved area that currently serves as the bus loop, parent pick-up/drop-off loop, staff and visitor parking, and food service/maintenance deliveries. The school currently has an old, unused bus loop/pull off area in front of the facility which can be seen in Photo 6. The street level elevation is 11' lower than the elevation of the 1936 building. This antiquated loop/area is no longer utilized by the school facility due to it only being able to stage two (2) buses when the current enrollment necessitates seven (7) buses. In addition, there is no direct access from the school's main entrance to this area. In the past, students/staff would have to exit through the main entrance via the stairs/ramp, traverse around the side of the building, go down the existing stone stairs/ramp to utilize this area. Buses and/or vehicles are also unable to turn left out of the loop to travel west on Maryland Route 34. Current practice involves the placement of cones at this entrance every day to keep parents from parking in this area. The current traffic patterns for vehicular and bus ingress/egress from the elementary school are of concern. Many modern day students that are within walking distance, have school system transportation available, or are dropped off by parents via personal vehicles. This trend has identified a need (both for safety and security) for separate parent and bus drop off areas, similar to those installed at all new WCPS elementary schools. By separating these areas, a safer and more controlled delivery and pick-up is maintained and managed. Additionally, a secondary means of access to a school facility is preferred in the event of a situation where one entrance is blocked and an emergency response to the facility is required. If the current building was modernized and capacity was increased, there would be many site constraints that would arise and in turn could create confusion and poor management of traffic patterns of the area during and after construction. The location of additional portable classrooms for temporary classroom space during a modernization, and that also meet ADA requirements, provide adequate security/access control, and not interfere with construction activities would be difficult to achieve during a renovation/modernization project at this facility. www.wcps.k12.md.us 'WCPS I Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 5: Aerial view of Sharpsburg Elementary and the original 5 acre site. www.wcps.k12.md.us WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools Photo 6: Current entrance (right) to Sharpsburg Elementary and the old bus loop (left) that is no longer utilized by the School due to safety/security/traffic concerns. 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 www.wcps.kl2.md.us WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools Proposed Solution: 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 • Photo 7 shows an aerial view of the original 5 acre site, the new 6.5 acre area that was approved to be added by the IAC on June 15, 2016, and WCPS's proposed location for a new replacement facility. The advantages of locating the new building towards the North/East area of the enlarged site are that it would allow the new building to be completely constructed while students continue to attend school at the existing facility. Demolition and finalization of driveways and parking lots in the area vacated by the demolition would occur only after the new facility was complete and ready to be occupied. • This approach eliminates the need and cost of temporary housing for students during the construction period. It would also eliminate the need and cost to relocate the boilers and chillers, and the current water/sewer service lines. • As evident in Photo 8, this approach would more easily allow for the possibility of a separate bus and parent drop off/pick-up loop, create a more level elevation, separate play fields from vehicular areas, and offer a possible means of secondary ingress/egress. • Most importantly, students and staff would not be subject to the noise and interruptions of construction activities in close proximity, providing a more stable learning environment. www.wcps.kl2.md.us WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools Photo 7: Aerial view of the existing Sharpsburg Elementary site, the areas approved by the IAC to be added to the site, and the proposed location of a new replacement facility. 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 www.wcps.kl2.md.us WCpSI Washington County I Public Schools Photo 8: CONCEPT Depiction of a new replacement Sharpsburg Elementary with separate bus loop, parent drop off loop, and playfields. (Note the potential for a secondary site entrance on the East side of the site). Accessibility and Historic Design Challenges 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Although the 1936 section of the facility was renovated in 1983, there are numerous areas that are not in compliance with ADAAG, including step ramps, narrow doorways, inadequate means of egress, inadequate restrooms, and areas of refuge. Photos 9 through 12 depict some of the accessibility issues that would need to be addressed in modernization/renovation of the existing facility. Correction of these inadequacies, while maintaining interior and exterior historic design elements, as required by MHT, would be cumbersome and costly to construct and maintain. In addition, MHT has already expressed concerns over the potential viewshed of any building or site modifications that could negatively impact the historic district and the Antietam Battlefield. www.wcps.k12.md.us WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 9: Grade elevation and ADA issues with the rear classroom exit and portable classrooms located at the rear of the existing school. www.wcps.k12.md.us wcsI Washington County I Public Schools Photo 10: Narrow Corridors (non ADA compliant) leading to existing classrooms in the 1967 building. www.wcps.klz.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 'icpsI Washington County I Public Schools Photo 11: Non ADA Compliant doors and restrooms www.wcps.kl2.md.us 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 WCPSI Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 21740 301-766-2800 Photo 12: Non ADA compliant Exit from the 1983 classroom addition main corridor on the East side of the building. Note: These exit doors are located within 10' of the adjacent parcel which is currently separated by a chain link fence. High Performance Building Act Re -use of the existing building or just the 1936 building would limit WCPS and its design team's ability to meet the requirements of the High Performance Building Act. While there would be LEED points associated with reusing an existing building, many of the critical daylighting and mechanical design elements that are employed to obtain the required LEED Silver rating would be difficult and costly to employ when considering the re -use of the building. Based on the overall complexity/added sequencing costs of renovating an existing facility while it maintains educational services, and the anticipated available state and local funds to complete this project, a waiver from the High Performance Building Act requirements may have to be requested in order to make this project feasible. www.wcps.k12.md.us WCPSWashington County I Public Schools 1.0435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown MD 27.740 301-766-2800 As previously stated, in the near future WCPS will procure services from design professionals for this project. In addition, it will begin the compilation of Educational Specifications, which will be submitted and reviewed by MSDE. While any facility could be renovated or modernized, it always comes at additional costs, limiting design constraints, and most importantly, potentially negative impacts to the educational services that are able to be provided. If the AC would agree to grant this request for exception or waiver, WCPS would be able to: • Better plan the facility around actual needs to provide the best educational facility possible within the established budget. • Avoid non -beneficial costs (short term construction requirements) associated with scheduling, providing temporary educational facilities, and potentially limiting historical review/design elements. • Provide generally un-interrupted educational services to the students at the existing facility while construction activities occur. • Receive a new facility without existing design limitations, or components that date back past 80 years, to maintain for the next 50 years. • Minimize architectural design fees, time, and the complexity of coordinating the associated combined feasibility study/Educational Speclfication/MHT review that would be required. The approval of this exception or waiver request in conjunction with current FY 2018 CIP request will allow WCPS to keep this project moving forward both locally and with the State CIP process to ensure that the facility will be ready to open in August of 2020. If planning approval is granted, Washington County Public Schools will proceed to submit the schematic and design development documents for this facility by the September 1, 2017 and November 1, 2017 deadlines while seeking construction funding approval in the FY 2019 CIP. In recent years, WCPS has completed several elementary school projects in conjunction with the IAC to satisfy enrollment increases for our county. For many of these projects, including Bester Elementary, Maugansville Elementary, Pangbom Elementary and the new Jonathan Hager Elementary, WCPS has attempted to be pro- active in replacing and/or upgrading aging, inadequate facilities in our inventory at the same time. This has been the direction that WCPS feels is the most beneficial to maintaining educational services to our citizens, and providing a total facility inventory to maintain in the most fiscally responsible manner possible. We welcome your questions and comments on our request and we thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Chad K. Criswell Senior Project Manager & Planning Supervisor CC: Robert H.

The current school was originally constructed in 1936 and received additions and improvements in 1967 and 1983. The original 16,520 gross square foot school was built in 1936, and received a 7,000 square foot addition in 1967. In 1983, both the 1936 and the 1967 areas were renovated, and an 8,164 square foot addition was added to the building. The current Sharpsburg Elementary school facility is 31,684 gross square feet. The existing Sharpsburg Elementary is projected to be the lowest ranking facility in the Washington County Public Schools (WCPSs) annual facility assessment upon the retirement of Conococheague and Winter Street elementary schools in accordance with the 2015 Educational Facility Master Plan (EFMP). This project is proposed to increase the state -rated capacity (SRC) of Sharpsburg Elementary from 252 to 471 students. The new/replacement facility will provide a 471 student, 3 -round Pre -K thru 5th Grade elementary school facility. In addition to updating an outdated facility, the additional capacity will provide enrollment relief to Sharpsburg, Boonsboro, and Pleasant Valley elementary schools. A request for planning approval will be made in FY 2018. Anticipated project completion will be in FY 2021. As part of this proposed project, the existing facility will be demolished upon the completion of the new facility. This would result in a change to the current street view of the facility from Shepherdstown Pike. It should be noted that currently, the 1967 addition (which was renovated in 1983), serves as Sharpsburg Elementary "Street Presence" or "front fa�ade" to Shepherdstown Pike. (See the attached Sharpsburg Elementary School Floor Plan with Age of Buildings/Renovations indicated) The new Sharpsburg Elementary is proposed to be located behind the current facility. The Washington County Board of County Commissioners are in process of transferring two (2) additional, adjacent sites to the Washington County Board of Education for this project. These sites are located behind existing residential dwellings. Upon the transfer of these areas, property lines will be vacated, and the site shape will resemble an "L". The new/replacement Sharpsburg Elementary facility is proposed to be partially located on the existing site and the transferred sites. This would result in the new facility being located back from Shepherdstown Pike.

Maryland_ Section number 7 Page i county and state Summary Description Sharpsburg is located in southern Washington County, about three miles from the Potomac River. on the alignment of an 18'h century road, now Maryland Route 34. The Sharpsburg Historic District covers the entire town plus a small amount of adjoining property adjacent to the town boundary, as well as Mountain View Cemetery, the town's burying ground established in 1883. The town is laid out in a grid pattern with two streets, Main and Mechanic, crossing at a central square. Sharpsburg is one of only three towns in Washington County with a public square. The others are Hagerstown, the county seat, and Leitersburg, a small unincorporated village in the northeastern part of the county. Established in 1763, Sharpsburg consists of a series of rectangular lots, each approximately 100 by 200 feet facing onto Main Street (MD Route 34), an early road that led from Frederick, Maryland into Virginia (now West Virginia). Mechanic Street led north toward Hagerstown (then Elizabeth Town) and south to the Antietam Iron Works and on to Harpers Ferry Virginia (now West Virginia). Near the southwest quadrant of this intersection lies the Great Spring, which supplied water for the town for • many years. The extant buildings range in age from the late 18`h century to the present day. The character of the town is residential with most of the buildings being houses, along with assorted support buildings. In addition to dwellings the town has six churches, four of them active, an elementary school built in 1936 with more recent additions, and a former American Legion hall built in 1949. A two story Italianate style Masonic Hall occupies the southeast corner of the square, with the Classical Revival influenced IORM building containing the Town Hall and library next door. The Masonic building has commercial space with original storefronts on the first floor. Many of the town lots have been split in half with 50 -foot fronts, leaving the streetscape fairly densely built along the main street. The oldest buildings are log, stone or braced frame, with brick buildings dating from about 1820 and later. Later balloon frame buildings and more recent materials such as concrete block represent the late 19`h and early 20`h century. Surface materials, in addition to stone and brick, range from original wooden sidings from various periods to asphalt ("Insul-brick"), aluminum and vinyl siding. General Description The Sharpsburg Historic District for the most part follows the town boundaries, bordered by properties facing onto the north side of Chapline Street on the north, the boundary of Mountain View Cemetery on the east, the west edge of Antietam National Cemetery, High Street, and the Sharpsburg Elementary School. Properties within the district are enumerated and described in the following inventory.

Maryland county and state Sharpsburg's town square divides East and West Main Street. One block to the east. of the square, Church Street crosses Main, with Main Street continuing east to the cemeteries, Antietam National Cemetery on the south side of the street and the town's Mountain View Cemetery on the north side. To the west of the square, the town stretches for three blocks, with Hall and Potomac Streets crossing Main. Mechanic Street runs north -south crossing Main Street at the town square. Chapline Street parallels Main Street to the north and Antietam and High Streets to the south. Alleys run between these streets. Generally lots are laid out north -south, with buildings facing onto Main, Chaplin, Antietam and High Streets. A few short lots face onto Mechanic, and even fewer onto Church, Hall and Potomac Streets. The oldest buildings are concentrated on Main Street between Church Street and Hall Street, and this two -block span is also the most densely developed. This section of town also contains some of the most distinctive buildings. Among them is a collection of four 18`s century stone houses with precision cut/hammered stone facades. Three of the four are individually listed in the National Register. All • follow the Georgian -inspired five bay central entrance plan. Most of the other houses are brick or sided or brick -cased log. Most are side -gabled and many are L-shaped with double porches along the service wing. Along the eastern and western extremities of Main Street, log and frame houses prevail_ Five of the town's six churches stand on the north side of Main Street, from east to west, the Lutheran, Brethren, Reformed, Methodist (not in use), and Episcopal. Separated two blocks to the south on East High Street is Tolson's Chapel, the former Methodist "Colored Church" (National Register listed). Tolson's Chapel is currently vacant and undergoing restoration. Along Chapline, Antietam and High Streets, the streetscape is less densely built with houses spaced farther apart_ Buildings are somewhat smaller with frame and log construction dominating, and a few stone houses with coursed rubble masonry interspersed. There are also some non-residential buildings, such as the Post Office and Fire Hall, and a former feed mill on the south side of Chapline Street. The Post Office and Fire Hall date from the mid 20th century, and the feed mill from the early 20`h century. In addition to the majority of residences are several commercial buildings, most of them located within one block of the square in each direction. Among them is a bank, housed behind a copper front inscribed "BANK", added to the Joseph C. Hays House on the northwest quadrant of the square in 1920 [this was actually an alteration of the building]. The house and bank are individually listed in the National Register. In addition to the bank are restaurants, two taverns and two bed and breakfast establishments_ A gas station stands on the comer of Church and Main Streets. The town Library occupies part of the Town Hall on the square. Several buildings near the square, which are now residential, were formerly hotels. Other dwellings had small commercial enterprises within them, but • most of those uses have vanished, but their storefronts remain.

Maryland Section number 7 Page 3_ county and state Lining the alleyways behind the houses stand numerous outbuildings, such as stables, garages, smoke houses, summer kitchens and sheds. Dry -laid stone fences also border some of the alleys. Most of these elements date from the period of significance and help to define the town's historic character. Newer infill housing mingles with older buildings, especially at the extremities of the district. These dwellings are generally one-story ranch -type houses. While the two cemeteries define the east end of the district, the Sharpsburg School marks the west end. Built in 1936, it sits behind a high limestone retaining wall and has several modem additions. Integrity The Sharpsburg Historic District retains integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The town retains essentially the same boundaries it has had since the mid 19`h century. The surrounding landscape to the northeast, east and southeast is part of the Antietam National Battlefield and thus protected and preserved to maintain its 1860s character. Easements protect other adjoining lands. This situation has prevented typical suburban fringe development around much of the town, and helped to preserve the residential character. Stone, brick, concrete block and some wood buildings retain integrity of materials, but synthetic sidings cover some log and frame buildings. Despite these non -historic treatments and some modem infill construction, the district retains its visual character and projects the feel of and associations with its history_ There are relatively few non-contributing elements in the district. Inventory The following inventory enumerates and describes the properties located within the Sharpsburg Historic District. Each property is assigned a reference number, called "NR No." and identified by Name, Address, or Parcel Number. A construction date and brief description are provided, followed by a count of the number and type of contributing and/or non-contributing resources which the property contains. The final column indicates whether the property is documented in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties. maintained by the Maryland SHPO. 0 i • c11 � z a -o U i NI o U ( 1 ~j ) H _ N N: vtl !h ii N € 2 n � y,•o ar" c_ 3 A tv c .n rn' 5 w 5 o_ y) = a _ h n j- O Ifli g1 O .^� iu w� m � C V q �„C . n .o • O ^y l y O x C V 0 u U h c5 t0 O t ' O O .' iiC0oE QFio=�Nol a O) Cflc,C c L N •i1 N _ .fir^ U I.—. oM0 M C O O' h e+� O> O f•1 7 0 O Q h MJ C1..c ✓ N � a N C w N e -- w1 � '-0 d i 93 N ..

Constructed in 1936, with additions in 1967 and 1983, Sharpsburg Elementary School is a contributing resource to the Sharpsburg Historic District (WA -1 1-723), which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The extant school building does not meet the requirements of the community and the current WCPS Educational Specifications. In 2016, WCPS received approval to waive the Feasibility Study stage of the project due to the complex constraints of the site and existing structure. As such, the undertaking moving forward is the demolition of the Sharpsburg Elementary School and construction of a new school building. This will result in an adverse effect to the historic district. As the undertaking is partially funded by the PSCP, the project is subject to the Maryland Historic Trust Act of 1985, which follows Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended, 54 USC § 300101 and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR § 800. The Section 106 process was initiated by WCPS in March 2016 and a public Consulting Party Meeting (CPM) was held at Sharpsburg Elementary School on July 27, 2017. The meeting focused on ways to mitigate the adverse effect to the historic district and the public comments are outlined below. Building a Community That Inspires Curiosity, Creativity, and Achievement. www.wcpsmd.com VICPSI Washington County I Public Schools Public Comments: Interpretive Signage/Historic Displays: 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown, MD 21740 301-766-2800 Want to see history of school embraced in an exhibit or display of some kind. Story boards were mentioned. Documentation: • Would like to see additional research done with the Sharpsburg Historical Society to see if there is any additional documentation or historic photographs. • Teachers at the meeting proposed asking members of the community about additional historical information or artifacts about the school. • Would like to see something like the display at Sharpsburg Historical Society that memorialized the pre - 1936 school. Honoring the Historic School Site: • Try to honor the historic 1936 building's footprint with plants, trees, or gardens. • Try and incorporate a peace garden in place of the historic school site; it could be a circular shape with a fountain in the center, surrounded by benches. Weeping willows and peace roses could be incorporated. • Children could plant the garden in the shape of the old school to flow from the historic entrance steps and stone walls. Sensitive Design of New School: • The new design should be aesthetically pleasing and blend in with the surrounding buildings. • The new design should be conservative, like the surrounding town, with traditional materials sympathetic to the local vernacular. • As the largest building in Sharpsburg, the new design needs to be respectful and it is good there will not be much visibility of the school from the road because of the grade change at the rear of site. • Like that the larger masses of the building will be on the lower parts of the property so the building will read like a one-story structure upon approach to the main entrance. Layout: • Concern about separating playgrounds from houses so monitoring people and children is easier, as it is hard to know who belongs and who does not. Retention of Historic Fabric: • Use "Sharpsburg" stone marquee sign and incorporate in new school design; would prefer it to be re -used on the building, not on the site. • Use "graduation stairs" as some sort of artifact; perhaps have them framed so the children could touch the original 1936 stage floor before graduating. Building a Community That Inspires Curiosity, Creativity, and Achievement. www.wcpsmd.com WCpSI Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown, MD 21740 301-766-2800 • Include cornerstone in new school. • Potentially seek to salvage bricks from historic building for school to share with community and/or use as a fund raiser for school programs. Responses: Interpretive Signage/Historic Displays: • A graphic display interpreting history and architecture of the historic school and its relationship with the Sharpsburg community and historic district will be permanently displayed in the new school. Documentation: • WCPS will execute a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Form which will fully document the building, including extensive archival and photographic research, and will be submitted to MHT prior to any demolition or work is done to the historic school building. Honoring the Historic School Site: • Existing stone retaining walls at historic bus loop and other curb cuts are to be cleaned up and reused to maintain historic street appearance. Mortar joints will be repointed and cast stone caps will be replaced. One of the three existing curb cuts needs to be widened to allow for buses turning into the site. Stone retaining walls at this curb cut will be rebuilt to match original with the existing stones. • Footprint of existing school will be marked in the ground through the usage of plantings and/or retention of parts of the rubble foundation. Sensitive Design ofNew School: • The new school design will intentionally be set back from Shepherdstown Pike. The building will flow with the slope of the land to the east, so that the larger, two-story mass of the rear of the building will not overwhelm the residential scale of this portion of Sharpsburg. • The design team is working to create an exterior facade of this facility that will speak to the scale and materiality of the Sharpsburg historic district. Specific influences include the 1936 building, the rubble stone foundations prominent in this region, the painted wood and brick buildings located within the adjacent town of Sharpsburg, and the Antietam Battlefield Observation Tower. The facade of the building, while not readily visible from Shepherdstown Pike, shall reflect the many historic structures within this town, while providing an educational facility suited to the academic success and safety of all students and occupants. Building a Community That Inspires Curiosity, Creativity, and Achievement. www.wcpsmd.com WCpSI Washington County I Public Schools 10435 Downsville Pike Hagerstown, MD 21740 301-766-2800 Layout: • Outdoor play equipment and classrooms are located to the south of the property, adjacent to open land that is currently used for agricultural purposes. Drive aisles, parking lot and service entrance have been located on north side of the property, adjacent to neighboring residential plots. Retention of historic fabric: • The cornerstone, cast stone Sharpsburg Elementary School sign, and the 1936 stage floor artifact shall all be retained and reincorporated within the new school building in some capacity. • Will work with construction manager to investigate the viability of salvaging existing brick during demolition. Brick will be turned over to school if abatement considerations can be overcome As a result, and through the coordination efforts of the design team of Smolen Emr Ilkovitch Architects and EHT Traceries, the following Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was developed that outlines the efforts that WCPS will make and ways to utilize the stakeholder ideas to mitigate the adverse effect.
