The Budget Summit is scheduled for September 13th Hastings will be included in the package the for the Fire HQ and LCP projects. • Site plans for Hasting were reviewed. It was discussed that repositioning the in a straighter design would be a cost savings. The parking lot loop has not changed. Access to the stage from the lobby was discussed. It was stated geothermal wells would be located in the playground and playfield areas. • The roof plan maximizes solar and adding solar to the lower roof above the cafeteria is being evaluated for efficiency. A ballasted roof system is being evaluated. • The Solar Design Study for Parking Lot Solar Canopies was discussed. Due to stringent storm water requirements, the committee was informed a canopy system would require significant structural and underground drainage infrastructure. The project cannot afford to lose parking spaces. Further discussion will be needed. PBC inquired about financial meetings prior to Town Meeting based on what schematic costing. More discussion and updating is needed before Sept. DPF stated the budget is approved by MSBA and will go to the Town Meeting. $65,279,000 was voted on at MSBA with a V.E process underway. DOER program opens Sept. 2017 and includes incentives to build solar canopy systems. 3. LCP/Pelham Road Update —Rick Rice (DiNisco Design). Semoon Oh (VAV International). Rick reviewed schematic design and project costs in his slide presentation. He is working through developing a plan to open up conceptually, to provide enough information for cost estimating. An alternate layout was also discussed. • The building is no longer a ridged "L" shape to work with Police/Fire access. Vernal pool setbacks cannot be pushed back. • Alternative layout showed opening the main waiting area would be a good way for students to get to the play area out back, but has limitations. Further discussion will be needed. • The square footage between the two designs is about the same, but future expansion size is smaller on the alternative plan due to wetlands and parking. PBC questioned if we are creating a future problem if expansion is needed. Discussion?? It was asked if it makes sense to flip the building to provide for future expansion without having an impact on wetlands. PBC asked if a solar impactor shading studies have been done - Not as of yet. Green Initiatives Semoon reviewed Green Initiatives for a VRF system and a VRF with an ERU electric heat information in his slide presentation. It was commented that ambient sound and acoustical requirements for children are pretty low in the design. Liz Fouhy, (LCP Supervisor), stated that hearing impaired children with hearing aids can be impacted by noise and equipment. The building needs to be sensitive to this. PBC Meeting 08.23.17 2
