PBC Meeting Minutes 1 -5 -12 7.14 Schematic Design 11/17/11 PBC requested that some discussion take place with DDP and PBC over design styles and aesthetics as the architects should be aware of what general direction the PBC feels the design should be so as not to waste valuable and limited time in design phase. DDP stated that SD deliverables would include: Cost Estimates, Narrative on Systems, Narrative on Site, Narrative on finishes, Plans, Elevations, sections, Rendering and permitting issues 12/1/11 DDP expressed that the design phase would be beginning and there was general discussion on the design, historical elements and their impact on design in Lexington and other design features. PBC suggested that the architects not cast the design features too quickly until they make some suggestions to the PBC to confirm an appropriate direction. 12/15/12 PBC wants to be sure that DDP meets with PBC at least three times in January to have an opportunity to review and comment on design decisions. PBC would like to see 3d modeling of school with topography and perhaps a view from Grove Street. 1/5/12 DDP made presentation on design issues and process forthcoming. Overall massing discussed along with a few design issues such as: The roof equipment screening location and height Possible roof garden area Roof access hatch or door (penthouse) Two story space over library Approx 4000 sf of basement, required, is slab on grade more cost effective? Size of gymnasium, as compared to other elementary schools Canopy in front of school Canopies in other locations around schools PBC would like to see these items as breakouts on the estimate so that they can understand cost impact on the project. DDP stressed that schematic design will not stop after SD submission to MSBA, rather there will be opportunity to further work with PBC on Design issues thru design development. DPC discussed need to be able to deduct from approved design not try to add too it. 7.15 LEED 12/1/11 Brief discussion on LEED design. DDP expressed that MSBA reimburses 2% for LEED Silver certification the first pass thru the LEED scorecard should occur in the schematic design phase. 1/5/12 Draft of LEED scorecard will be at next meeting 7.16 Mosaic 12/1/11 There has been discussion about saving the Estabrook logo mosaic, so the construction of the mosaic is being tested for contaminants during December break. 7.17 Traffic Clarification 12/8/11 PBC discussed the need for clarification as to the extent of involvement of the ETF committee with traffic concerns on the Estabrook site. Peter Johnson will communicate a reminder to the ETF that the PBC has responsibility for oversight of traffic concerns within the Estabrook site and that while they will seek a recommendation from the ETF on the amount of queuing that may be required based upon their work leading to the property line, it is the PBC who should coordinate the actual design and layout of this work on site with the architect and traffic consultant. 1/5/12 ETF has not met since the 12/8/11 PBC discussion above.
