Nature of Application:
MINOR ALTERATIONS AND ADDITION OF LOFT SPACE
Date of Site Visit:

Met on Site By:
ARCHITECT - MARYNA PETORIUS
Reasons for Site Inspection:
GAIN CLARITY OF THE GRADE OF THE SITE AND WHAT THE IMPACT THE ALTERATIONS WILL HAVE ON THE STRUCTURES
Findings of Site Inspection:
THE SITE IS QUITE EXTENSIVE, THE FRONT PORTION ON MAIN ROAD SITS BETWEEN NUMEROUS PROVINCIAL HERITAGE SITES. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED UP AND CONVERTED INTO A LODGE. THE BACK PORTION OF THE SITE WHERE UNITS 1-3 ARE LOCATED HAS TO STILL BE FIXED UP. THERE ARE TWO UNITS THAT ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD CONDITION THAT ONCE HOUSED THE PAARL BOYS HIGH SCHOOL, NOW CONTAINS THE EUGENE MARAIS FOUNDATION. THE OWNERS WISH TO CREATE OFFICES IN THE MAIN BUILDING (NUMBER 1) AND IN UNITS 2 & 3 THEY WANT TO HOUSE A MUSEUM WITH UPSTAIRS LOFT SPACE THAT WILL BE USED BY WRITERS.
Recommended Action:
I RECOMMEND A 3A GRADING FOR THE ENTIRE SITE WITH A 3B GRADING FOR THE UNIT 1-3. RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED WORK AS IT WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE STRUCTURES, IT WILL BRING LIFE TO THESE BUILDINGS AND FACILITATE THEIR UPKEEP.
