Informal Resident Advisory Work Group Cedar Grove Community Center September 24, 2013 Page 2of5 52 • John Thomas reviewed some of the items that had been discussed at the previous meetings o The group was reminded that only 10,000 square feet of renovation has been funded. This had been funded with a budget of $2,000,000 from July 1, 2013 until June 30, 2014 and that this budget included design team fees, surveys, geo tech reports as well as the building construction costs. • John Thomas presented the plan that had been revised as discussed at the previous meeting and reviewed the changes; o Option "A3" • The existing Gym remains in place, the roof is not raised and the space is now called a Multi- purpose Room. • A folding partition is provided at the front of the stage to allow this space to be used both as a stage and an exercise room. • Mirrors will be provided at the rear wall of the stage to allow for the space to be used for dance or exercise programs. • Curtains will be provided at the front of the stage for use during performances. Roll back cycloramas will be provided on the sides and back to hide the mirrors and stage wings during performances. • One set of existing access steps from the Multi- purpose Room to the Stage has been removed to provide a storage area on the stage for exercise equipment. • The architect stated that due to low water pressure issues and the expense of adding a fire pump and water storage tank, a fire suppression system for the building is not feasible. Therefore, the capacity of the Multi- purpose room will be restricted to a maximum of 299 people. This approach will need to be coordinated and approved by the county. • Handicapped access to the stage will be provided by a wheelchair lift. • The existing wings remain and are mothballed. • New group toilets are provided in the same location as the existing toilets but are enlarged, made handicapped accessible and provided with exterior access. • The exterior doors to the group toilets have been eliminated. • Two toilets and a smaller storage area have been provided near the Kitchen.
