1. The original design from 1985 shows the proposed building taking up the entire lot
2. The original site plan showing parking on the exsiting walled garden to
the south of 1205 Eutaw Place
3. The landscape plan approved by the Bolton Hill Architectural Review
Committee and CHAP in 2002.

When Hiram Grand Lodge first proposed to build on this site in 1985,
the building was to take up the entire lot from Waxter Way to Lanvale
Street. Parking was proposed for the walled garden area south of the
older building at 1205 Eutaw Place. CHAP and the Design Advisory
Panel rejected a plan to use the garden area for parking and instead
the owner stated that they would utilize on-street parking along the
median of Eutaw Place and arrange parking at the State Office Complex
for large meetings.

In 1985, the Board of Municipal Zoning Appeals (BMZA) approved
Variance Application #331-85x to allow the proposed development
without on-site parking.

Nothing was built due to the collapse of Old Court Savings and Loan.
In 1992, earlier plans were renewed and approved -- again the building
was to take up the entire lot. Foundations walls were built, but the
new building was not completed.

In 1999, a new scheme was presented for the present size building.
Site Plan Review Meeting minutes for 5/25/1999 states, "The remaining
foundation to Lanvale Street would be covered with a landscape area
with no on-site parking spaces.... The community also prefers to see a
landscaping area on the property, and does not want to wait any longer
to get rid of the "hole in the ground" (excavated foundation)."

CHAP approved plans for the new building on February 5, 2002. The
plans included in a landscaping plan with a fenced garden.

I could find no evidence that CHAP or MRIA specifically opposed
parking on this site, because parking was never proposed. The
original landscape plans were however approved; most of the issues
involving the property involved the design of the building.
