IN THE DESIGNING Of THE PRELIMINARY PLANS IT WAS INDICATED AN ATTEMPT HAD BEEN MADE TO GIVE MAXIMUM USABILITY OF THE PROPOSED LIBRARY WITH MINIMUM STAFFING TO ALLOW ROOM FOR EXPANSION,BOTH WITHIN 'THE SHElL OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING AS WELL AS BY ADDITION TO THE PROPOSED BUILDING. IN PREPARING PLANS, MINIMUM FLOOR AREAS ON A PER CAPITA BASIS WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERA- TION. SEATING ON A PER CAPITA BASIS WAS LIKEWISE CONSIDERED AS WERE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION FOR STACK SPACE FOR TWO VOLUMES PER CAPITA. THESE ITEMS WERE CONSIDERED ON TODAY'S POPULATION AND ALSO ON A POPULATION PRESUMED IN 1977 AND THE PRELIMINARY PLAN EITHER MEETS OR CLOSELY MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRESENT AS WELL AS THE TWENTY YEAR POTENTIAL AS ENVISIONED AT THIS TIME. e IT WAS EXP.LAINED THAT THE fLOOR PLAN AS PROPOSED IN THE PRELIMINARY PLANS WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE A CHILDREN'S LIBRARY ON THE MAIN fLOOR, THE TECHNICAL PROCESSING AREA ON.THE MAIN FLOOR AND THE ADULT AREA ON THE MAIN,FLOOR. ROOM FOR EXPANSION WOULD BE TO THE BASEMENT FOR A STACK AREA AND TO THE SECOND FLOOR FOR THE TECHNICAL PROCESSING AREA. I THE STAFF AREA HAS BEEN SO DESIGNED THAT THE REMAINDER OF THE LIBRARY COULD fLOW AROUND IT THUS DECREASING THE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF PERSONNEL NECESSARY TO STAFF THE LIBRARY. EXPANSION ROOM HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO THE WEST.FOR POTENTIAL:FUTURE ADDITION TO THE STRUCTURE AND ALSO IS POSSIBLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR AS THE STRUCTURE IS SO DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR ADDITION AT THIS LEVEL. A FUTURE TECHNICAL PROCESS WORK AREA ON THE SECOND FLOOR WILL PROBABLY RE-. MAIN UNFINISHED AS WELL AS THE BASEMENT STACK AREA, BUT THE BASIC UTILITIES WILL BE FURNISHED TO THESE AREAS SO THAT fUTURE COMPLETION CAN BE DONE AT MINIMUM EXPENSE. BOTH SUCH AREAS WOULD BE USABLE NOW. FOR STORAGE AREAS. THE PLOT PLAN.OR SITE PLAN ENVISIONS~THE LOCATION OF THE LIBRARY ON THE PROPERTY LINE TO~THE SOUTH WITH EXTERIOR PLANTtNGS TO THE EAST AND NORTH AND PARKING TO THE WEST. LIGHTING WOULD BE NORTH AND EAST EXCEPT FOR THE TECHNICAL PROCESS AREAS WHICH WOULD BE LIGHTED FROM THE WEST. MATERIAL ENVISIONED JS REtNFORCED CONCRETE WITH AIBRICK VENEER, CONCRETE FLOORS AND SOME EXTERIOR USE OF GLAZED TERRA COTTA TILE. ELECTRICAL HEAT- ING IS UNDER STUDY BUT NO FINAL DETERMINATION AS TO RELATIVE COST OF ELECTRIC HEAT VERSUS OIL HEAT HAD BEEN MADE. IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE ANTICIPATED LIFE OF THE BUILDING SHOULD BE 50 TO I 60 YEARS AND ITS POTENTIAL CONSTRUCTION COST IS APPROXIMATELY $455,000. THE LIBRARY BOARD INDICATED THEY HAD ACCEPTED THE PRELIMINARY PLANS. THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL PRESENT INDICATED THEY WISHED TO SEE A GOOD SUB- STANTIAL BUILDING WHICH WOULD BE SUBJECT TO MINIMUM MAINTENANCE, WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ABUSE AND WHICH WOULD, BE AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY, AND RE- COMMENDED APRROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS OF THE ARCHITECT." e IT WAS MOVED BY MR.
