As a rule, when more vehicles are added to a department, more yard space is <br />necessary. Additional vehicles improve efficiency of city services. Adequate yard space provides safe <br />circulation, adequate material storage, and overflow storage. A larger, well organized yard is designed <br />with drive through lanes to minimize un -safe conditions of backing up. <br />The diagram above depicts the standard yard size for the existing building. The 1:2 ratio is a general <br />guideline for modern maintenance facilities designed by Kodet Architectural Group. The existing yard <br />has several tight corners and most materials are accessed by backing up. In the Ideal yard layout, the <br />circulation path is simplified by an additional entrance/exit. All material is located at the perimeter or in <br />the center island. This allows drive-by access and minimizes the needs for vehicles to back up. <br />KODET ARCH ITECTURAL GROUP, LTD. 15 Groveland Terrace, Minneapolis, MN 55403+1154 T: (612)377-2737 <br />6 <br />tea. o. <br />TOTAL <br />YARD 1 <br />» <br />722,500 SF <br />EXISTING <br />....� <br />BUILDING <br />m` <br />59,020 SF <br />IDEAL BUILDING TO YARD RATIO 1:2 <br />EFFICIENT AND SAFE CIRCULATION <br />EASY ACCESS TO MATERIAL STORAGE <br />POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL / EXPANDED <br />MATERIAL STORAGE <br />Yard Circulation <br />While the Maintenance Building has expanded aggressively, the Maintenance Yard has not followed the <br />same pattern of growth.
