HomeMy WebLinkAbout07/16/2004 Fishers Island Community Center July 16th, 2004 at the Village Office Attending; Judi Imbriglio Karla Heath Sara McLean John Spofford Diana Fiske, IPP President Bruce Kinlin, Kinlin-Rutherford Architects Lily Rutherford, Kinlin- Rutherford Architects Jeann Schultz John Thatcher Sarah Moody Gail Cypherd Susele King Nate Gray Bruce began the meeting by explaining the drawings and model that Lily and he brought to the meeting. The drawings reflect the pieces that the committee should be included based upon the surveys. John Thatcher asked about the location of sewage fields near the proposed sight and how close the building would be. Also, he asked about emergency exits for the theater. Bruce said that the exits were mistakenly not included and that the building will not be built on the sewage fields. Diana Fiske asked about the location of the hallway by the workout room. She wondered if this is necessary. Bruce said that this is a beginning, but the building is in three volumes and changing the location of the hallway will change the roofing structure. Bruce spoke with the Southold planning department and the number of users dictates accessory requirements, such as the number of bathrooms. Lily said that the theater and large multi-purpose room are classified as "places of assembly" and therefore require certain facilities. The facility needs to be handicap accessible and would need an elevator if there is a 2nd story, though if the 2nd story is used as storage space it does not need to be handicap accessible. Bruce did not talk with the planning department about a pool. A parking study has not been done. A study needs to be done that shows where people will park. The building as currently drawn is about 8,000 square feet, not including the covered porches. Sarah Moody wondered if we could scrunch the size of the large multi- purpose room? Bruce wondered what else has happened since the last meeting? The booklet has not been together. We want to have this done by the end of July, so Sarah, Sara McLean and John Spofford will work to put this together. Bruce and Lily will work to tighten up the design and shrink the size of the building. They will also work to make sketch images that are presentation oriented. The group discussed contacting a local contractor to find out how much it might cost to build a facility of this size. The group felt that this was a good step and would help us to understand costs associated with the project. Bruce and Lily will try to reduce the size to less than 7,000 square feet. If this is going to happen, what pieces are most important to the group? Do we need a smail multi-purpose room? Could that space double as a teen center or daycare? Are there enough kids for an exclusive space, dedicated to a day care center? We may need a daycare center if we are trying to attract young families. Maybe instead of a teen center space, the entire facility could be set aside as a teen center one night a week or during certain evenings? The smail multi-purpose room could double as the daycare center, while the office doesn't have to be a large size. John Thatcher wondered if we have begun exploring incorporating as a non-profit. This has been discussed and needs to happen, and the discussions are on going. John Spofford asked Lily and Bruce how long they thought it would take from start to finish to complete this project. They felt that this would take 2 to 2 Y, years to complete. Next meeting: With Bruce and Lily: Friday, July 30th at noon. Without Bruce and Lily: the booklet group will meet next week to discuss organizing the booklet.
