Attendees met to discuss USKH plans as presented at the 2/25/11 meeting and adjust design, to be ready with full size plans for Sunday, February 27 for the Lallapalooza.

• Full basement

Excavation: silt, keep on site as much as possible; put dirt to west—avoid runoff. Don’t putsh out too close to bank—will destabilize silt. Could backfill bluff. Dirt volume will depend on access, size, and location. Smooth out area—provide base for landscape/civil design.

Building to be moved back from cliff (towards Main Street) as much as possible to prevent destabilization of slope and further protect cliff

8” concrete plus foam = 12” walls. Vapor barrier must control moisture.

• Culvert: if topography isn’t changed by civil design there is no need to put in a culvert—water runs in both directions downhill from driveway

• 2135 sq. ft.

49 people: “business occupancy”. 1 bathroom okay as long as use is under 15 people.

flip toilet to other side of bumpout, stacks. Move bathroom near kitchen.

seismic considerations with high stacks

USKH spoke with Bob Tsigones, owner of Lifewater Engineering. (http://lifewaterengineering.com)

• Masonry: water heat coils, water thermal mass. Height of thermal mass is important, perhaps more than size. In order to have masonry heater on first floor a full basement-height foundation is necessary. Allows for ashfall. Water? Combine masonry heater/H2O circulation with stairs and water storage.

Vestibule to be bumped out, glass between circuation area and vestibule. Enlarge vestibule, superinsulate. Wood storage outside
