3:06
that for a moment and then we'll come
3:07
back uh they're not you can come back to
3:09
me if you want to talk about this
3:10
facility
3:12
uh yes so Bill Oaks was originally
3:15
designed to be a temporary Firehouse
3:17
station 30 was
3:19
opened up in 1992 and ordered uh uh
3:23
augment the response on the back side of
3:25
the airport
3:27
um uh during this time we've been
3:29
working uh in conjunction with uh the
3:33
airport uh waiting for the additional
3:35
runways and the growth in that area and
3:38
also I'm looking for land and so over
3:40
the last 30 years we finally were able
3:43
through analysis and through the build
3:45
out of the airport and working with
3:47
planning and many other departments in
3:49
the city uh to land on the site at 3019
3:53
V Road and so we are excited about
3:56
Firehouse 30 finally getting its
3:58
permanent house
4:01
thanks G
4:03
Ary all right so um
4:06
the proposed new facility uh is going to
4:10
be a three-bay uh
4:12
two-story Firehouse located on 3019 beam
4:16
road across from the police and fire
4:19
academy
4:20
um and uh just north of our Charlotte
4:24
vehicle operations center
4:27
um this particular facility would be
4:30
approximately a little more than four
4:31
fourteen thousand square feet
4:34
um on a three acre site
4:38
um we are in the process right now of
4:40
doing this schematic finishing up out
4:42
schematic design and our architect we'll
4:45
talk more in detail about that
4:47
um but this is in uh city council
4:50
District three
4:51
and um and so um as we uh one one a very
4:57
important aspect of this new facility is
4:59
that this will be the very first
5:01
all-electric car house
5:03
plus we will have our very first uh
5:06
electric uh fire engine
5:09
and so uh this would be historic for the
5:11
city of Charlotte to have a first
5:13
all-electric firehouse and first
5:15
all-electric uh fire engine
5:18
so um but uh
5:21
just want to also mention that
5:24
um we we do have a budget with this
5:26
particular project and the overall
5:28
budget for the project is uh 16. uh
5:32
three million dollars and um right now
5:35
we're still working through some of the
5:37
numbers on the preliminary estimate but
5:40
right now the numbers are ranging from
5:41
about 11.8 to 14 million dollars for
5:44
construction uh but we're still trying
5:46
to work through some of that uh some of
5:49
those numbers
5:50
um and uh fire truck we have budgeted
5:53
1.7 million dollars for the fire fire
5:56
engine
5:57
with our electric fire engine
6:00
um right now we're looking at um
6:02
once we are able to finish up the design
6:05
and and get this project permitted we're
6:09
looking to start construction around the
6:10
first quarter of 2024.
6:14
and so um
6:16
and so that's kind of where we stand
6:18
with the project and so I'm gonna let
6:20
the ADW talk a little bit more about uh
6:23
give us a nice little presentation of
6:25
the facility and some of the details of
6:28
the site and the facility itself okay
6:31
Ashley
6:32
good thanks Bruce uh just to let
6:35
everybody know if you have any questions
6:37
uh you can hover over the bottom of your
6:40
screen a little q a box should pop up if
6:43
you just click on that you can type in
6:45
any questions that you have and we can
6:47
address those at the end of the
6:49
presentation we're just going to kind of
6:51
take you through some of the imagery
6:52
that we have
6:54
to give you a better idea of how the new
6:57
Firehouse three
6:59
it's going to take shape
7:15
we'll start with a site plan just to
7:17
give everybody
7:18
or in uh as Bruce mentioned the new
7:21
Firehouse is going to go on beam Road
7:24
it's approximately 14 350 square feet it
7:29
is a two-story three-bay Firehouse
7:34
okay
7:36
uh the three bays are in the center of
7:39
this red block here uh this will house
7:42
the apparatus and the all-electric fire
7:44
engine the two-story portion of the
7:47
building is located here and includes
7:51
the living areas and sleeping areas
7:55
and then to the north we have some
7:57
support spaces
8:00
and so some other interesting items uh
8:04
throughout the site uh both entrance and
8:07
exit drives from the site are located on
8:10
beam Road
8:12
there is parking for visitors as well as
8:16
secure parking for staff members
8:19
there are electric vehicle charging
8:22
stations throughout the site
8:25
that and
8:27
um some of the follow-up panels that
8:31
you'll see and some of the imagery here
8:32
coming up
8:33
are part of the uh strategic energy
8:37
action plan uh that the city has put
8:40
together and as a part of that plan too
8:43
this project will be pursuing lead
8:45
certified
8:50
there are a couple other items there's a
8:54
front porch patio here along the front
8:57
so with engagement with the public
9:00
connecting sidewalks to the surrounding
9:04
properties as Bruce mentioned the
9:07
Training Academy is across the street
9:09
and uh cvoc the vehicle operations
9:13
center is actually to the South
9:15
so
9:17
connecting with those Neighbors
9:19
there will be uh exterior storage
9:22
building
9:23
and vegetation Landscaping that is
9:28
native to the area after route
9:31
foreign animation
9:43
and toss this over to Mark here
9:50
think about it
10:02
did not work
10:05
so
10:11
[Music]
10:14
all right so as we uh take a look at the
10:16
front elevation here uh beam row would
10:19
be um kind of right behind us here see
10:22
the apparatus Bays the three Bays off to
10:24
the right or the living quarters to the
10:26
left
10:28
as we come around the parking lot you
10:31
get a glimpse of the PB panels on the
10:33
roof
10:36
um here you're seeing a training stare
10:38
with a
10:40
porch area for the firefighters down
10:43
below
10:45
worked for the rear of the station
10:47
through the parking lot see the rear of
10:49
the apparatus phase
10:51
[Music]
10:55
get another Glimpse back along the front
10:56
along the beam Road elevation
10:59
plenty of light into the apparatus bays
11:02
and into the uh inflammatories off the
11:04
left
11:10
then we'll pull up some of the steel
11:12
shots so we can look a little bit more
11:14
of those
11:29
this would be again the beam Road beam
11:31
Road elevation three apparatus Bays
11:34
um got the bifold doors
11:37
um you know with the red colors in the
11:40
doors and then the red
11:42
um kind of identifying element that
11:44
holds the the number 30 for fire
11:46
Firehouse 30. above the apparatus bay
11:49
door we have uh some clear story windows
11:52
again bringing in plenty of Apple light
11:56
sidewalks and Native Landscaping across
11:59
the front of the station
12:01
the main entry
12:04
features a porch element
12:06
again like Ashley mentioned earlier to
12:08
engage the public
12:11
um and denote entry to the station
12:17
along with the number 30 for Firehouse
12:20
30 you've got a another branding element
12:24
on the side of this of on the side of
12:27
the firehouse there that has the uh the
12:30
seal for Charlotte Fire Department
12:32
again this is the side elevation with
12:34
with parking native Landscaping training
12:38
stair
12:39
firefighters
12:41
patio down below covered by the training
12:44
steer
12:46
and as we move again towards the rear
12:50
simplify them on the rear a bit with the
12:54
dumpster enclosure and a few site
12:57
utilities things of that nature
12:59
concealed from public view best we can
13:05
and then one more view of that that rear
13:07
elevation there you can see some of the
13:09
sun shades on the Windows those help
13:11
regulate uh daylight and solar heat gain
13:17
they're all um
13:19
because this is an all-electric station
13:21
uh there will there will not be fueling
13:24
located at this station as in some of
13:25
some other the firehouses and uh the
13:29
heating elements and
13:31
and I will also be electric uh
13:36
instead of a fuel card
13:38
heating element there are there's
13:41
geothermal that will be used as part of
13:43
renewable energy as well as the thermal
13:46
panels
13:49
and uh on this image here you can see
13:52
some more of that landscaping and then
13:54
also trying to bring in as much natural
13:56
light as possible
13:59
as far as materials if you're looking at
14:01
the the
14:02
field material the the primary material
14:06
on the on the building is a red brick uh
14:10
durable low maintenance material
14:13
markets back to many of the the brick
14:15
fire stations around Charlotte
14:17
the design and style kind of pulling
14:20
from some of the traditional elements
14:22
while taking a slightly more
14:24
contemporary take on it uh so along with
14:27
the red brick you've got again the red
14:29
apparatus bay doors and the red
14:34
signage the vertical signage with the 30
14:37
on it being a red metal panel to match
14:39
the doors
14:40
and then uh like a dark bronze color in
14:43
the mullions and storefront on the
14:45
windows
14:55
so those are the images that we have to
14:58
share
15:01
Riverside okay thanks Ashley
15:06
appreciate everybody uh Ashley and your
15:08

15:43
think Ashley covered everything pretty
15:45
well we're looking at adaptive landscape
15:47
and Native where we possibly can and
15:50
then
15:51
