The Lighthouse – The Lighthouse Renovation Project
The Lighthouse – The Lighthouse Renovation Project
The entire project – located @ 513 East Broadway in Mayfield, KY. is a a complete
renovation and re-purposing of the original motel on the property into a shelter for
women and children. The existing two-story structure has 9,438 gross square feet, with the
original 7,494 sf constructed of reinforced concrete walls, floors, demising walls, and roof all
of the same material. It was designed with an exterior egress life safety system and housed
13 rooms on both the 1st and 2nd floor, for a total of 26 independent rooms for transient independent
lodging. A 1974 sf addition was constructed in subsequent years as an annex to the
administrative offices at the south end of the original structure. The two-story annex was
constructed of wood light frame walls, floors and roof and provided lodging for staff as well
as administrative support.
The original spaces, essentially concrete bunkers, did not provide either the space
or the essentials for a quality of life needed to support recovery and re-entry into society. The
renovation proposes combining two original sleeping spaces into a single living space that is
fully furnished with all utilities, functional accessible bathrooms and a small kitchen with a
microwave and sink. The ‘through-wall” transient HVAC systems, designed for single overnight
stays, will be replaced with modern heat pump and air conditioning systems designed
with comfort and healthier air for extended stays and indeterminate periods of residency.
Five 2nd floor suites and four 1st floor suites, along with two smaller studio units that feature full accessible showers (Eleven total- 9 suites and 2 studio units) will be provided with a potential
occupancy of twenty + plus residents).
Additional support spaces include an accessible kitchen with three separate cooking
areas, dishwashers, serving and eating areas and booth seating. Two laundries, storage,
pantry, mechanical and electrical support spaces, are included.
The distinguishing feature of the new design is the security wall, a ½” thick perforated
steel panel wall that connects two protected points of egress and functions both as a
functional life safety feature and a secure protection from unwanted visitors. Secure checkin,
staff and client recreational areas and community spaces are provided throughout the
building.
The intent is to provide a comprehensive turnkey proposal that furnishes the owner with a 100%
code compliant modernized elevator system. References to work by others or other trade sections
are not excluded in this work but is intended to help identify work that may be needed that is not
directly elevator related. It is up to the contractor to survey the site and determine the nature and
quantity of work necessary to furnish a code compliant installation.

There is a significant amount of water that is draining from the mine bench causing problems (small slides, mold, drainage, etc.) the proposed plans is to control the water and get it into Frozen creek which is across the road. Access to the bench will be via the gravel driveway down the road from the residence, used to access another residence at the bench level. At this residence, there is drainage from behind the driveway from an old closed portal which is saturating the area and flowing along the driveway. Water has also caused a small slip on the hill adjacent to the drive. This material will be removed and a rock toe buttress installed to stabilize the hill above the road. Approximately 600LF of ditchline will be installed along this drive and up to the portal. Drainage controls will be installed on the bench and at the house level. A small block wall will be installed behind one home to stabilize a small slide and handle drainage.

This site will consist of closing mine portals behind the Collins residence. Water from the portals has affected Mr. Collins barn and is slowly deteriorating. Being installed will be five mine portal standard wildlife closures. Along with hoe ramming the top of all five mine portals. The access road to the portals will need graded and ditches pulled. To help with drainage around the barn 250 LF of 8-inch subdrain pipe will be installed behind the barn along the bench area where three portals will be closed. To drain the water off the bench area 50 LF of 8-inch HDPE pipe will be use to divert water down the hill into a class two ditch with 2-foot bottom 250 feet long. The other two mine portals around the mountain side will not be affecting any structures. Project limits will be a total of 5.27 Acres with a maximum total area to be disturbed for this project will be 2.78 Acres.
