Informal Resident Advisory Work Group 44 Cedar Grove Community Center August 27, 2013 Page 3of5 o The exterior doors to the group toilets will be eliminated. • The Informal Advisory Group also stated that an individual toilet room did not need to be provided directly off the Large Group Meeting Room but should be accessible from the Kitchen. • The Architect sketched a plan showing how two toilets could be provided and a smaller storage area provided for the Kitchen. The members of the Informal Advisory Group stated that this storage area of the Kitchen could be reduced in size as it was not for storing food but reusable items. • The Architect explained that the Can Wash area had been removed from the Kitchen and would be provided as part of the Janitors area near the group bathrooms. • The existing library becomes a Multi -media Room with a computer storage area provided directly of this space. • After some discussion members of the Informal Advisory Group recommended that the Facility Office and Computer Storage area be switched so that the Facility Office has an exterior window for better site supervision and also a window to the corridor for better interior supervision. • There was some discussion about the security of the building and the members of the Informal Advisory Group asked if the exterior doors would be provided with cameras and buzzers for secure entry to the building. David Stancil stated that the building security features have not been finalized at this time, but the Architect and the Informal Advisory Group should assume that security cameras would be provided at all of the entrances to the building. • Internet Cafe is provided adjacent to ceremonial front door. This space will be a more informal relaxed gathering space with access to vending machines and coffee. • Wireless internet is to be provided thru -out the entire building. • A Conference Room is provided adjacent to Internet Cafe. • The Parks and Recreation office area has been expanded and provided with a direct access to the exterior of the building. • The existing breezeway between the existing main building and the Dining Room is to be enclosed and made into a Lobby /Corridor The Kitchen has slightly increased in size and is still provided with direct access to the Large Group Meeting Room through a pass thru window with counter top and roll up door. • The existing dining space is subdivided into three spaces, a Large Group Meeting Room, Small Group Meeting Room and Recreation Room. • There are operable walls provided between the Large Group meeting Room and each of the adjacent spaces so that can be opened up into one large space. This space would be more off a "U" space • Large Group Meeting Room can hold 90 people and when the movable wall is opened up to include the Small Group Meeting Room this adds another 35 people and if the Recreation Room is also opened up then another up to 51 people are added to the space seated at tables and chairs. • Storage closets have been added in the Small Group Meeting Room and Recreation Room for storage of tables and chairs recreation room equipment. • John Thomas then reviewed the preliminary site plan. o It was stated that the site was presently close to its limit for impervious area and not a lot of additional paved area and sidewalks can be added to the project
