Elevator Project
These photos represent measurements from the planning guide for the Hydraulic LU/LA (Limited Use/Limited Access) elevator that was linked in the recent email. The elevator comes in both electric and hydraulic versions, but the electric required a larger hoistway which would partially block the sanctuary door.

The original stairwell opening is approx. 6 inches in front of the door.

Detail showing new wall in relation to closet. White paper shows where the concrete wall is in the basement. Note this section of the concrete doesn’t appear to be supporting anything.

Basement detail. Blue line shows where the wall would be. It would block the closet door.

Figure 5
Basement. Red line shows approximate pit location. The LU/LA elevator would require a 14″ deep pit, lined with concrete and with drainage.
The section of concrete wall is below the part indicated in Fig. 2, and doesn’t appear to be supporting anything. The hydraulic LU/LA requires a machine room, for which the closet would be ideal. This would require removing that section of concrete and installing a door at an angle next to the sump hole.
