The architectual design of existing buildings present certain limitations for . expansion. The equipment access doors of the Public Works Building open toward the east. Expansion in that direction would require substantial re- construction of the existing structure. Since the existing facility already con- sists of two separate structures, it is doubtful that such alteration is feasible. The problems of expansion to the south, although structurally more feasible, is undesirable because of limited space and the use relationship problems dis- cussed in the preceding paragraph. Two alternative exist. One is expansion to the west. Although it appears to be feasible architecturolly, this approach would require substantial alter- ation of the on-site circulation system and may create access problems. The other alternative is expansion to the north of the existing building. This cou Id be accommodated without major changes to existing access and circulation. However, since expansion in this area projects toward Highway 96, its visual impact may be greater. A third alternative may exist: Construction of a separate building. This approach, however, would likely create certain additional inefficen- cies, would present a more "crowded" appearance, and would probably re- sult in greater site coverage due to additional access and circulation drives. It is not considered a viable alternative. The Vi lIage Hall is a long, narrow structure with a gabled roof. Expansion to . the west is limited by the buildings relationship to the property line. Expan- sion to the east has no physical limitations, but at some point the length of the building may create functional inefficiencies. Although abundant open space exists for expansion to the south of the existing bui Iding, its design (i.e. gabled roof, window locations, floor plan) may represent romerous architectural limitations. LOGICAL DIRECTIONS OF EXPANSION Exhibit 2 represents logical directions in which building expansion could occur. The directions defined are bQ6ed upon space ovailability, apparent functional relationships and, to a limited degree, architectual considerations. Although not necessarily exclusive, these appear to be the most logical directions for future construction. . -5- .;,;.".---::-~- ---:.~----~~-'-' - .- '.'~-~ -- - '.-' .- -. -. --.--.- -- .- ~ -- - .. --- - -.- ---.-,-- ......-----_._~_._- -~-- -~'_.--
