Special Bd. of Aldermen — 03/26/2019 Page 2
You have the back of the house with some storage and some ancillary support. This would be your loading area in
the rear. So to orient folks this is Surf along here, this is an alleyway, this is the pedestrian way, our loading would
be right in here and then the front of the building, you have your lobby. Here is the monumental staircase | was
referencing. You have your box office, you have your concession, you have some lounge area right here, some
seating. This is the main entrance, the main entrance is looking to be at the corner of Pearl and Main. Again, the
corner of West Pearl and Main is where we are focusing.
Continuing on, this is just another level of seating that would be up in through here. This would be essentially the
second floor if you will. Again, some rest rooms lining around the side, you have a lounge area, a VIP lounge, you
have concessions, some seating. This would be open and you would look down through to the lobby right in
through here so this would be open air. Again this is the back of the house and this would be the stage right here.
So balcony level, approximately 225 seats right in through here, front of the house common space right in through
here. This is where we believe the marquis will be right in through here and this is a roof top terrace which would
be seating for the venue in terms of entertainment space possibly food and drink out here on the roof deck.
| just want to note that the structure does not go all the way to the perimeter of the building, it is actually pulled
back. This is mechanical space back in through here. This is all open space for the volume to meet the needs of
the stage back of the house support again through here. And then the last floor is relatively straight forward. This
is just what would be AV, technical type of space use. So you have cat walks in through here, you’re going to have
some lighting apparatus on the side over here. You do have some space that you can use, so this is going to be a
conference room right here again and then this would be administrative offices. This current plan uses the entire
building, the entire older building, so it goes all the way up to the roof line. This is what the roof would look like so
the new structure if you will, so what you are seeing right here would be your second floor currently kind of exists.
The newer structure that would be built up would be essentially this area right here pulled back. And this is the
older building right here. This kind of gives you a look at if you were looking at it like if you were looking at a piece
of cake. So you have the basement level, you have the lobby, this is actually the audience chamber, this is the
stage, this is all back of the house here support. Here’s that cat walks that | was just referencing right there and as
you can see, the other structure for 201 Main Street ended somewhere right around here. And as you can we are
going up to here and then this building already exists. And then there is one last view for you and again that is a
view of what it would look like from the top down if you were looking at it from the sky.
And again, this just kind of gives you a sense of the elevation as to how high you’d be. So 62 feet from stage,
stage is about 3 ish feet off of the floor so you are really looking, if you are outside of the building, you’d really be
something along the lines of 65 feet or thereabouts. So again that’s just a quick overview of the floor plans that we
are working on thus far.
The last thing | want to make sure | touch upon is that we are continuing to work towards trying to find the private
capital necessary to continue moving this project forward. We have some very important meetings set up actually
this week and we are very optimistic that we will obtain the private capital necessary to be able to move this project
forward into the construction phase. With that being said, I’d be happy to take any questions.
Alderman Dowd
Have you given up on squaring off the building back by the Surf parking lot?
Mr. Cummings
So let me go back to what Alderman Dowd is referencing. So Alderman Dowd is referencing this area right in here,
there was a thought at one time to expand the building all the way to square this area off. And that, if folks were
paying attention a couple aerations ago, that was in the plan. The architects came back to us and said that you
know that would really drive the budget up and they thought that they had enough space within the current layout to
