Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 3:02 p.m. II. Citizens Forum (items not on the agenda): None. Ill. Presentation by Landmarks Illinois on Reuse of the Laundry Building: Lisa DiChiera, Director of Advocacy, Landmarks Illinois provided background on the nonprofit organization. In 2008/2009 the laundry building, medical surgical building and the historic barn were on Landmarks annual Chicagoland watch list. The watch list is a program Landmarks does not run any longer. They now have an endangered list. Architect Bertrand Goldberg designed the laundry building and circular medical surgical building in 1966 and 1967. The brick horse barn was built in the 1890s. Eric Keune, AIA, LEED AP and Cyril Marsollier of the architectural firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, presented their recreational reuse study (see attached) for the laundry building. Eric Keune and Cyril Marsollier noted they would present what the most likely options would be. Options include two different trajectories. One keeps most of what is inside the building and the other keeps the shell scraping the building clean. The building's long-span concrete trusses are the walls and the roof. Inside the building is a simple L-shaped space. It has a long slender mezzanine upstairs and stairs and 150 Dexter Court, Elgin, IL 60120 847-931-6100 www.cityofelgin.org elevator to access this function and two truck docks; one to bring laundry in and one to take laundry out. This area is being used to store road salt today. One the second floor is a glass enclosure of the mezzanine that overlooks the main laundry floor below. The space next to it is a little balcony. Above the docks is a lunchroom for the staff. Scheme 1 keeps everything inside and the other scheme 2 scrapes everything clean . The building suggests some uses for the building. Youth basketball courts: Scheme 1, with the dark grey L on drawing, keeps everything on the inside . Scheme 2 scrapes everything out and allows for two youth-size-courts or one full-size court . Volleyball courts: Volleyball courts would obviously be smaller, but the height of the building is a little bit of a problem. It's about 5 to 6 feet too short for regulation volleyball. o Other potential options for reuse : Squash , pickle ball, judo, martial arts, boxing, gymnastics, rowi ng and training all of flexibility. Some of these things lend themselves to be on the mezzanine floor. Tenn is would be compromised due to the ceiling height. SUMMARY OF INTERIOR DESIGN OPTIONS : Scheme/Option 1 Summary for reuse of the laundry building includes : Mai n entry and reception area Locker rooms and visitor washrooms (reconfigured) Stretching and warm-up area Access to upper level (new staircase) Main play area: basketball and volleyball (75' x 130') Bleachers (concealable seating -capacity 130) Yoga studio (61' x 41') Moveable partition Spin room (34' x 50') Strength enhancement area (25 ' x 138') Scheme/Option 2A -scrapes interior clean for reuse design and allows natural light to flow through building.

An annex addition for washrooms would be needed . Summary for reuse of the laundry building includes : Main entries Soccer field (80 ' x 200') Players' benches Penalty boxes Vision glass Architects noted that rain and snow could be collected off the roof to generate some energy through opaque roof panels. Design could include heating with gas-fired, radiant tubes in ceiling. Solar panels on roof could heat water. Lisa DiChiera noted that a comprehensive report will be sent to Randy Reopelle next week. She also noted that when discussions continue the options that retain the interior, it is possible that a developer could rehabilitate the building using an historic tax credit, but the interior aspects of the building have to retained . That is a requirement. Subcommittee feedback was requested by architects: Tom Armstrong prefers schemes that retain the interior. Jason Platt prefers leaving the pipes and character of the building. "It's awesome character." IV. Adjournment: MOTION: Michelle Santucci motioned to adjourn the meeting at 4:19 p.m. Tom Armstrong seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
