Minutes of the Special Meeting of Planning and Zoning, Council, Architectural Review Board and Citizens Advisory Committee Page 9 opposite side. That would give you better access to the party-end of the thing and segregate the smaller meeting room to the west side. It doesn't flow with me as far as the utilization. Thinking of people entering and going in to the room for party purposes and the restrooms being over at the other end. A: I saw the meeting rooms as being the destination. If you enter the building, you are going to walk through what you need to walk through to get to the place that provides why you are there. The relationship of the meeting room to the green would be the most important relationship of the whole building. I don't disagree that the bathrooms might be disconnected a bit, but like we said, we have to work through all those details. Q: Are you talking about the meeting rooms on the right side? I am talking about the ones centrally located. They ought to be moved over to the left side and the restrooms and other facilities put centrally located to service both sides with more efficiency and provide your restrooms closer to the green portion of it than where they are now. Mayor: What we are talking about is we need to look at different floor plans; different ways the space is. Does it make sense to move on the second option where we relocate the building or not? There are certain strategic aspects. Q: It's hard to tell from here, but the two rooms, is the partition movable? Can that be made into one huge area? A: Not as drawn right now. Q: How many square feet do you have in the big room? A: This is about 1600 square feet. The smaller room is 800-900 feet. Q: In comparison to the existing facility, how does that lay out? A: The same. The 1600 is the distance. How does this improve the Town Square idea? Do we like providing a better traffic flow and sharing parking, making it more efficient for both parties? The floor plans were a preliminary concept to fall under this roof basically. Q: But the floor plan itself for the existing building, you don't have as many options at all. A: That's correct. Q: So if we are going to renovate this, you are limited. You need to make sure everyone understands that moving this and putting this here and doing all that, that's for a new building. We are much more limited if we keep the existing structure and renovate it. Mayor: That's basically true. They would be flipping the kitchen, keeping the restrooms in the same area. There's only some permeations that it seems to lend itself too.
