This question speaks to primary ownership of the room décor.

Will the space be designed for contemporary worship that youth will be allowed to occupy or will it be appropriate Youth designated space which is used for worship on Sunday morning?

The Vision requirement of appropriate dedicated space for youth ministry will be developed in a later presentation. This phasing issue considers planning for the space to eventually become dedicated youth space. Decisions made about this space in Phase 1 can limit the use of the room in Phase 2.

The plan currently has two means of egress but they are included in the adjoining buildings.

A stairway will need to be built on the South end of the Phase 1 Education Building in order to meet the code requirements. This may change the Worship center configuration and/or change the site plan building extents for Phase 1.

The current elevator is small and would not accommodate the assembly size the 3rd floor room

would hold.The elevator could be placed at the South end of the building with the stairwell. This would incur further into the worship center or outside the building extents of the site plan. This would become the main entrance into the temporary Worship space.

Grade level change of 5’-0” along Phase 1 building means:

Several of the exterior windows along Southern part of East elevation are below groundAdditional grading would be necessary to lower parking grade to match the site plan incurring greater expenseWindow well could be provided along this wall by using a retaining wall similar to the existing children’s area. This option would push parking closer to the creek by the width of window well thus changing the site planInterior West elevation of Phase 1 building would have same issue unless the “play area” were excavated to floor level incurring greater expense to Phase 1. This would necessitate the regrading of the current parking area South of the “play area”.Without regrading the “play area” water will be sheet draining from the parking toward the existing education building with no natural outlet

Grade level of 9’-0” above finish floor along Worship center building means:

Exterior windows of offices along East elevation are below groundAdditional grading would be necessary to lower parking grade to match the site plan incurring greater expensePastor’s back exit is 9’-0” below grade. In order to provide this exit a retaining wall will need to be placed next to the building which has exit stairs up to grade. This wall would push parking toward the creek changing the site plan.A retaining wall for a window well can be placed next to building along the offices which would push the parking toward the creek and change the site plan.Handicap parking shown on site plan is on a slope that does not meet ADA accessibility requirements
