{ <br /> i <br /> Review of Architect's Layout(see attachment A for JCA current layout) <br /> Jim Long's comments included the following: <br /> 1) Current plan calls for a Great Room seating capacity of 400, with a layout for just 87 parking <br /> spaces. Do we need a room with 400 capacity? If so, we need at least 120 parking spaces. The <br /> committee agreed that because the Mashpee senior population is growing, we do need to plan for a <br /> large capacity room, and therefore, we do need to plan for more parking spaces. <br /> 2) Current plan calls for a partitioned wall between the Great Room and the Arts &Crafts room. With <br /> traffic back and forth from the arts and crafts room with projects which can be messy, into a nicely <br /> carpeted Great Room, is problematic. Also, the Arts&Crafts room has the most accessible locale in <br /> the Center, and it is not the most important activity for Mashpee seniors. The committee was in <br /> agreement with this comment. <br /> 3)Jim floated the idea of having the Great Room planned as a Community Center, with the Senior <br /> Center directly adjacent to it. This would allow seniors to have outside groups use the Great Room <br /> immediately,without the burden of the five-year restriction from the grant. The committee reaction to <br /> this idea was negative. The Selectmen have already approved funding for the Senior Center to <br /> include the Great Room. <br /> 4) Current plans for Jim's office location in the office area is not ideal. His office location is <br /> inaccessible to the seniors who will be using the Center. Both Jim and Lynne Waterman want to <br /> have offices located close to the activity areas of the building so that seniors will have easy access to <br /> them. <br /> 5) Bathrooms—the new locale of the bathrooms is a concern <br /> 6) Lobby area is too big. With a generous sized lounge, do we need the big lobby? <br /> Iry Goldberg's comments: <br /> 1)The elevation plan is unacceptable. <br /> 2)The rooffine is unattractive, cumbersome, too many peaks. Also, it is a very expensive design. <br /> 3)JCA needs to forget about making the Center look like Mashpee Commons, with the 'Nantucket' <br /> feel. <br /> The next meeting of the Committee is scheduled for Thursday, May 16'", 2002, at 10:00 AM, at the <br /> Mashpee Town Hall, Meeting Room 2. JCA will be in attendance at this meeting. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 4:10 PM. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Ina G.
