Capital Improvement PlanCarol Maude Case Dennison Cabin a.k.a. Case Cabin

9


The Cabin was acquired by the Town in 2006 as part of a 2 acre purchase.

Building has been secured with an alarm and perimeter fencing, however the building has been frequently broken into and vandalized due to it’s remote location.

During one three year period from 2008 to 2011 there were 37 calls to the Police Department for this property.

In 2011 CIRMA, the Town’s Risk Management Agency reviewed the property and further recommendations from their inspection were implemented.

In May of 2013 a Conditions Assessment & Structural Evaluation of the Case Cabin was completed.


12

“The connection of the atrium logs is a concern. The connection is a simple half-lap joint. In order to make this joint, one half of each log is removed and the two are overlapped.”

“Based on experience, it is doubtful that all of these joints in the atrium structure are capable of supporting the code specified loadings.”


13

“ Second major structural flaw in the house are the second floor cantilever structures. These are in a serious state of dis-repair.”

“The sags do not appear to be caused by deterioration of the structure. It is most likely that the original framing was inadequate to support the cantilever loads.”


14

The study concluded that the preservation and restoration of the Cabin would cost in excess of $700,000

Structure Stabilization ~ $330,000

Exterior Stabilization ~ $90,000

Interior Stabilization ~ $45,000

Building Systems ~ $95,000 Access and Parking ~

$55,000 Design & Permitting ~

50,000


Recently, the Town asked the same Architect who performed the Condition Assessment in 2012 to look at the feasibility of repurposing the Cabin site into a structure which respects the historic past while providing a safe and secure asset to the community, suitable for the setting.
