Subject:
MAGEE PARK
Statement of the Matter
The Carlsbad Historical Society has requested that the barn at Magee
Park not be removed or destroyed. This request was presented to
Council on November 28, 1978 by Allan Kelly.
The Historical Society would like to use the barn as a storage
facility for the antiques they have collected. They propose to
renovate it using volunteer labor.
On two previous occasions Council approved plans to remove the barn
from the premises. First, on April 18, 1978, Council approved the
conceptual design of the park which included the removal of the barn.
At its meeting on November 7, 1978, Council disapproved the Senior
Citizen's Association request to use the barn for a food co-op, also
directing staff to demolish the barn as soon as possible. At its
November 20, 1978 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission
unanimously recommended that the demolition of the barn b@ postponed until Council considers the feasibility of allowing a private. contractor to remove it.
Renovation of the barn to comply with code requirements has been
estimated to cost between $22,000 and $27,000. The Historical Society
would renovate the building using volunteer labor.
Recommendation
That Council authorize the Carlsbad Historical Society to renovate
the barn to comply with code as a storage unit at their expense
and/or with volunteer labor.
Council action:
12-19-78 Council agreed to allow the Historical Society to renovate the Magee barn subject to their submission of a concept plan to Council within 90 days, that construction must be completed in a year, and that plans are to coincide with existing plans for landscaping and completion of the park.

Dear Mr. Eggleston:
The recent.decision to retain the barn as shown on the mastersplan will not significantly affect our scope of work. Should the location be
altered in the future and necessitate revisions to our plans, we would expect to be compensated at the agreed upon hourly rate. For the present, we will develop the park area to within a 10-foot perimeter of the barn
. structure as it is currently situated.
