CITY OF FRIDLEY TEL : 612-571-1287 Aug 6 ,92 9 :22 No .001 P .06/06 Building Plans: Shopping Center Site Building: The plan has a major central circulation system that can also be used for indoor walking. A secondary corridor connects the building spaces to the outdoor areas west of the building, Building access is at the southeast corner. The roof over the multipurpose room will be raised to provide increased ceiling height in that space. The corridor and Interior areas of the multipurpose room will be naturally lit with skylights or clerestory windows. Anoka County Park Site Buildings: Alternate 1. A plan with the multipurpose room at one end of the building separated from the remainder of the building by entrances that provide access from both sides of the building. A single wide corridor, usable as an indoor walking area, serves the entire facility. Alternate 2. A plan with the multipurpose room more centrally located. The main entrance is at a building corner. Two corridors connect at the lobby which is the main access to the MP room. A wide corridor, usable as an indoor walking area, and a secondary service corridor flank two sides of the MP room. This plan and the plan for the Shopping Center Site have some basic similarities in circulation and building access. Discussion: • Building plan Alternate 2 was prefered by the committee for the Anoka Park site. it was noted that there are similarities between this plan and the plan developing for the shopping center site. • The west side location was prefered for the Anoka Park site, Preservation of the existing tree cover on the east side is important. • Landscaping was emphasized as very important for the parking lot area of the shopping center site. • The unisex toilet is necessary to allow an Individual of one sex to assist an Individual of the opposite sex. • The fitness room, game room, and some storage were discussed as spaces that could be located on a lower level if a two story building is developed. A woodworking shop could also be located there if included in the program as well as possible parking for vans. (The van parking applies only to the Anoka County Park Site) ▪ The multipurpose room will be used for card playing, large meetings, and other such activity in addition to dining. There may be some oxcersize classes in that space but a fitness room should still be provided. A fitness room can also be used for a small meeting room, etc. • T-he—multipurpose room should accommodate dancing—on—a hard surface-lt—Can also be—used—for shuffleboard. The stage would be better against a long wall rather than in a corner. • A single shower and a dozen half high lockers should be provide for men and women (each) in or near the excersize room or lavatories. • Consider providing small box lockers In the coat room for storage of a purse, workout bag, etc. • The directors office and conference room should be enclosed; the remaining office areas should be an open area with office landscape partitions. • Consider providing some seating in the wide corridor. • Both Fridley and New Brighton have a surplus of water. Mechanical systems should be considered that recognize that fact. • The Shopping Center Site should propose an alternate that includes approximately 25 feet of additional land along the south side of the building as a landscape buffer. Next Meeting: Aug 12th, 7PM, at Firdley City Hall.
