Meeting w/ Jim - 13 July 2019

attendees

• Jim, Laura, Jenny, Yar, Joe made a brief appearance

notes

• Leave space for dumbwaiter. Have to decide upon location
  • Cheapest dumbwaiter ~$7K (dumbwaiter.com)
  • Need to take a look at the retaining wall on the north side - Jim and Yar did - another possible location for dumbwaiter is on the other side of the stove, would come up along the corner of the kids room
• vNeed to find out CFM - cubic feet per minute(?) requirements for equipment under the new hood - if new hood (as we've budgeted and gotten a quote for), it shouldn't be a problem
• Laura: still advocating for induction cooktops, but it seems no one else supports the idea.
• One thing we haven't budgeted for is new lighting
• Windows may need to become operable
• Code doesn't REQUIRE you to have a dishwasher, just a 3-compartment sink - probably want to put in the rough plumbing for a dishwasher if the city will let you
• Hiring a General Contractor strongly recommended - will ensure the projects gets done, and done right
• Code doesn't require too much specifically re: storage - open/unenclosed storage okay
• Freestanding convection oven is the most-used equipment at the Pork Workspaces kitchen (according to Max)
• Move mop sink to middle wall if dumbwaiter location gets moved. mop sink will require trenching for the plumbing
• ANything cutting into an exterior wall will involve Planning / Historical
• Jim reminds us we have to spend 20% of budget on accessibility upgrades

Suggestions from Arthur:

• Conveyor at waist height on sidewalk - Jim says they come in 5 or 10', can purchase a stand that will prop it on either end
• Second door to walk-in - nixed, we can install windows for easy-access walk-in access (think like a corner store

action items

• reach out to licensed electricians and/or general contractors:
  • Whitney (electrical) - Jenny will contact
  • General Contractor - David has a contact or two
• Spec out dumbwaiter locations and dims
• Nail down equipment list
• Jim will contact structural engineer to look at dumb wiaiter pacement and wheelchair stairlift ceiling adjustment
• Call out for shelving!
