IV. NEAR ISLAND RESEARCH FACILITY
Mr. Hobgood explained that the Architectural Review Board recommends to the Borough Assembly to
approve the schematic design with comments. The Architectural Review Board will see the drawings
again when they are at 65% and Mr. Hobgood suggested that the Architect be in attendance at that
meeting.
Mr. Hobgood has a report he had done for the Borough Assembly on Construction Philosophy which will
be copied for the Architectural Review Board.
The board discussed in length their concerns on the Near Island Research Facility. The Boards areas of
concern were:
*What kind of material will be used on the outside of the building? Mr. Johnston commented. that
zincalum is a 20 year finish. He stated that another step is to paint the zincalum with kvnar and the
combination of both may have a 40 to 50 year life.
*What are the horizontal lines through the windows?
Are the Architects still considering cedar siding'? Hardie plank had been mentioned, but the Board was
not clear on an answer_
*One of the main concerns was on the seawater system. Mr. Cloudy commented that he had questions on
the salt water running down trenches in the middle of building_and what kind of interior finish was going
to be used. Mr. LeDonx commented his concern was how- is the airsystent going to handle the salt water
content in the air. Other comments on the seawater system were what types of materials were going to be
used due to corrosion and what kind of grounding system is going to be used for electrolysis?
*Why not a closed drain system on the trench'?
*Are we looking at a zero perm on the interior wall?
*What are we going to have as a way of intake filtration system '? Are the screens removable?

*Is the fuel tank above grade or below grade? Mr. Hacker commented that since this is a Borough facility
as far as equipment goes is it going to be standardized? Mr. Hacker also had a question on the water
cooled generator, why not have self-contained cooling at the generator'? Where was the water coming
from and which system was it going to be tied into,and is there a backup system?
*Mr. Koning commented that the aesthetics of the building is a rough cut look to blend with the
environment. Mr. Cloudy commented that was fine as long as it was sealed to modern specifications,
*There was also concern on the concrete as the aggregate on Kodiak is poor. Why not research the cost of
specified aggregate for concrete structure versus long term maintenance and rehabilitation of alternative
systems? Appropriate aggregate may be available on the island for a project of this size. Assuming that a
concrete building system will solve many of the corrosion issues, the Board would like to see a serious cost
analysis considering both initial cost comparison and maintenance over the life of the building.
Mr. Ledouc move to recommend approval of the schematic design to the Borough Assembly with a
request to the Architects to answer in two weeks the Board's questions that they had on the schematic
design. Mr. Johnston seconded. Unanimous voice vote. Motion passed.
Mr. Koning had one last comment about the management structure of the project. He stated that when
talking to the architects they suggested that whoever was the project manager be the building
superintendent.
A meeting will be scheduled for discussion after the architects answer the questions directed to them by
the Board.
