OLD BUSINESS Insurance - Eric got an estimate Business plan - started Sign - posted in P.O. NEW BUSINESS architectural plan review Library building update, Matt Prouty - Did a site assessment today (Jan 13)
- Will relocate septic in plans
- Need to get a full topographic survey to accommodate parking and mechanical challenges. Also affects site placement- especially affecting addition plans
- Pre-plan mechanically, pre-engineer the building
- Make sure correct work is done this summer
- Discussions between engineers and architects
- “Smart money” is to do a topographic survey. Who do we call? Licensed surveyor
- Civil plan can be prepared in office. Driveway permit is attained, but need civil plan first. John Rowe, civil design, also walked the site today. Civil plans: drainages, parking, retaining wall, septic
- Property survey was done by Kalen Associates- plot plan
- Have the site surveyed in spring when the water and runoff is an issue
- Make sure any dirt work this summer is in the right place
- Will expand roof overhang to provide protection
- Entrance will move to accommodate drainage and access
- Other than that no significant design changes
- Fire Marshal most interested in materials, exits, foundation
- Less glazing as per Seifert’s comments
- Have final package in time for Lallapalooza, Feb. 28
- Heating systems - Met David Missick at last meeting. Company been involved in more biomass research and alternative heating in past 12 months. Nancy Fresco- sustainable harvest of shrubs as biofuel. Masonry heater adds baseline heat, but is really aesthetic. Need wood fired boiler or pellet boiler to maintain heat, requires stoking, masonry heater can involve domestic water, Sub-floor heating.
- ICF foundation
- Masonry heater complements wood boiler. Redundancy system: a small oil boiler to keep building from freezing in worst-case scenario. Yes three systems, but...Allows for a smaller masonry heater, also reduces structural costs
- Are there hybrid oil/wood boilers?
- Passive solar design and super-insulated walls are also factors.
- Keep Missick involved as wood heat specialist in the final plans
- They (the firm) can calculate heat load, but the specialists have the insight. Other projects happening now will help pave the way:
- BLM- wood fired boiler; Ft. Yukon- solar and wind systems, materials
- CCHRC is testing all kinds of systems, been a big help on projects
- Materials choices (siding etc) will really affect how “Ester-ish” the building appears. Right now the design is focused on getting approval from Fire Marshal, the overall look of finish materials is independent from that, recycled materials etc. can affect look
- Thermal storage tanks need to be added to designs
- Entrance and foundations will be corrected on drawings
- Application for Fire Marshal in February, they will prepare, we pay
- Meeting on Feb. 10 will include updated plans in preparation of application
- Building is classified as business occupancy, load max 50. We get bigger so does the price tag!
- Don’t want to be classified as an assembly space!!
