MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />Novem6er 1, 198g <br />of this plan was done, reducing the square footage to 11,200 square <br />feet. <br />Kroos outlined the system that is used for determining space needs, <br />which included a calculation of the area needed for existing equipment, <br />future equipment, training areas, etc. and the gross square footage <br />needed is totaled. <br />LaValle asked if the study covered future needs adequately. <br />Kross and Mickelberg felt that it did. <br />Kroos and Mickelberg then presented the schematic plan which their <br />firm had put together on the Fire Hall needs. <br />Collova asked if a 6asement was planned under the building. <br />Mickelberg replied that there was no basement planned. <br />Fahey suggested that too much space was devoted to the bathroom areas. <br />Kroos and Mickelberg pointed out that Code requires that an equal amount <br />of space be devoted to women's bathrooms as men's. Those present <br />discussed this, and it was suggested that Boarman & Associates look at <br />how much bathroom space would be required for a building of this size, <br />and also suggested that the idea of a joint bathroom, rather than a <br />separate men's and women's be investigated. <br />Mickelberg pointed out that since a basement is not planned, area has <br />to be devoted to mechanical uses. <br />The location of the dispatcher's room was discussed, with Mickelberg and <br />Kroos pointing out that dispatchers will need a good line of vision <br />of the front of the building. <br />A member of the Fire Department suggested that parking for firemen <br />be located on the same side of the building as the equipment bays. <br />Mickelberg reported that parking locations will depend on the site. <br />Dick Boss asked the capacity of the training room• <br />Mickelberg replied that the training room as shown would have space for <br />60 chairs. <br />Boss asked about possible expansion of the building. <br />Mickelberg pointed out that the site would be set-up so that equipment <br />bays could be expanded. Mickelberg suggested that there would be <br />various ways to add onto the building. <br />Boss stated that he did not like the floor plan that is being presented <br />this evening. <br />Page 2 <br />
