1982-03-24 Regular MeetingChairman Wayne Coleman called the Architectural Review Board to order on Wednesday,
March 24, 1982 at 7:30 p.m. in order to consider a number of items. The following
persons were in attendance:
Ron Chase Scott Arndt Ed Kozak
Wayne Coleman Lou Schneider Bill Beaty
Phil Shealy Dave Waldron John Witteveen
Dave Crowe for Jim Olsen
The Architectural Review Board discussed the proposal of the Board acting as a Board
of Appeal for the Uniform Building Code. The committee reviewed a draft ordinance
prepared to that effect noting that a function would be to consider exceptions to the
code as well as interpretation by the building official. After considerable discuss-
ion and reviewing the Anchorage Board of Appeal, it appeared to be the consensus of the
ARB to use the appointed, non -staff, members plus one member selected at large to act
as a seven -man review board. The Board agreed to review the ordinance in detail and
requested Phil Shealy to check on the matter of liability and agreed to discuss the
matter and finalize the proposal before the public hearing held by the .Assembly in May.
The Board then reviewed the bids for the High School Swimming Pool. Replacement project.
Chairman Coleman noted that King, Harness and Dien, Inc. was the apparent low bidder
with a base bid of $670,304.00. The Board then reviewed the six alternates for the
pool. Lou Schneider moved that the Board recommend awarding the base bid and all six
alternates to the apparent low bidder, King, Harness and Dien, Inc. Motion seconded
by Scott Arndt and unanimously approved.
Dave Waldron then discussed the proposal to hire an A & E firm to evaluate Peterson
Elementary School. Mr. Waldron noted that it was likely that the federal government
would be turning the school back to the local unit of government and in that the
Borough had surplus funds in an energy grant which had to be spent by June 15, 1982,
he was recommending using $20,000 of that grant to evaluate the school building in
order to be in a position to negotiate with the federal government in the event the
building was offered back to the local units of government. They will make a recom-
mendation at the following meeting.
The Architectural Review Board then discussed the Upper Mill Bay proposal. Mr. Waldron
noted that if the Assembly approved proceeding with the project on April 1, 1982 that
the ed specs could be done by June, 1982 and A & E selection completed by June 15, 1982.
Based on that schedule he would anticipate design completion by April, 1983, construction
contract award May, 1983 and construction completed in May, 1984. The Architectural
Review Board concurred in the proposed schedule.
The Architectural Review Board then reviewed the status report and recommendation for
a change order to add gravel in the parking lot at East Elementary at an estimated cost
of $15,000 in place. Mr. Schneider moved to recommend the Assembly approve the change
order for gravel. Motion seconded by Ed Kozak and unanimously approved.
For the last matter of business, the ARB reviewed the proposed remodeling plans for the
Assembly Chambers. It was the consensus for approval of the plan although Scott Arndt
expressed concern about the size and length of the dais. Bill Beaty expressed concern
about the lack of insulation on the exterior wall. He was advised that this matter is
being addressed as a separate proposition and would be presented to the Architectural
Review Board in the near future.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
