VA Site COnstruction Purposal
( ELTON + HAMPTON ARCHITECTS Soldier On - Housing for Veterans: Columbarium Proposal 425 North Main Street,Leeds,Massachusetts To: Daniel Wasiuk, Health Inspector, City of Northampton, e-mail: dwasiuk©northamptonma.gov Cc: Tilman Lukas, Dew .pment Consultant From: P. Nicholas Elto Jim Scalise, Project Manager LEED AP, Mass>' usetts Registered r - ect Date: 7 March 2019 Several days ago, I came by your office to discuss the placement of a columbarium at the proposed Housing for Veterans to be constructed at the VA site in Leeds, MA. You asked that I send you a letter outlining what is being proposed. The project includes a total of forty-four(44) new hying units. Soldier On want to provide a columbarium, which is a coffered structure which will provide forty-eight(48)- 1'x 1' storage boxes in a single pre-cast concrete waffle-like structure with a proposed marble fronts on each box with the name of the individual resident engraved. This will be erected in a small memorial area. It is the intention that some of the residents, that pass on will be cremated and will be interred in the columbarium. Soldier On has found that many of the residents have been homeless and without family, and the sense of community is expected to be strong among the future residents. We have enclosed some drawings to show where the columbarium will be located on the campus and to give you a sense of the appearance. It is important to mention that these will be fabricated by a company that had produced 1,000's for military, cemetery, and other institutional site. As we discussed, we are just"checking-in"with your department to make sure that what is proposed here is acceptable. We do not know of any specific permits or health issues, however, we ask that you review this and let us know. I thank you in advance for your time on this matter. Sincerely, P. Nicholas Elton, Ma.
