Classroom available as Multi-Media Room in Project <br /> — Preserves Historic Appearance <br /> John Thomas said the charge was the development of the center section of the existing <br /> building, which represents between 11,000 and 13,000 square feet. He said the simultaneous <br /> charge was to look at the effect of mothballing the areas noted in gray on the maps, in case of <br /> a need for future development. <br /> He said the proposal is to keep or mothball all wings of the facility, and convert the <br /> gravel lot to a paved lot, which will not change the impervious surface. He walked through the <br /> proposed site plan blueprint. He said the memorial site out front would put back the old <br /> flagpole along with information about the old school. <br /> John Thomas reviewed the floor plan and said the goal is to create a lobby out of the <br /> current outdoor walkway, and develop the cafeteria into three main spaces — a small group <br /> room, a large group space, and a recreation room. He said the kitchen would be divided into a <br /> church style kitchen with storage and two restrooms - one available to the kitchen and one to <br /> the exterior ball fields. <br /> He said the gym will be converted into a multipurpose room with some recreational <br /> capabilities. He said the old stage will be closed off with folding walls to allow for use as an <br /> exercise space. <br /> Commissioner McKee arrived at 7:18 pm. <br />
