Event:2018/05/02 Basement Kitchen Meeting

Kitchen Meeting - 5/2/18 - 6-7pm

attendees

• jenny, joe, robb, sierk, yar

agenda

• Followup on previous action items
• Go over contacts and consulting leads (see Trello: https://trello.com/b/tieJ0V3h/omni-kitchen )
• Assess funding and next steps (consolidate w/ additional $500K for building maintenance w/ mortgage loan from Beneficial?)

previous action items

• dishwasher (phil) - research added to trello. conveyor not necessary, mostly washing pots & pans instead of dishes
  • Phil: For convenience, I am are that we will be looking for an above the counter dishwasher, rather than the below the counter model. The other issues are whether a conveyor machine is desired (much more expensive) to handle large quantities of dishes. Also, would we want to purchase a low temperature (treating with a chemical bath) or high temperature (killing germs at 180 degrees). Many people at the Omni dislike the extensive use of chemicals, so we probably go with the high temperature. Right now you're looking at $5-7,000 for an over the counter model and about $15,000 for a conveyor model. Quality used machines are available on Ebay and Craig's List that could save us a little money.
    • robb: some on-demand that do 9.4 gallons/minute
      • joe: 5-6 should do it (something 4.62 gallons/hr)
        • sierk: from plumber i understood thatpipes and heater most important considerations
• tankless water heater - for building or just kitchen? - if just for kitchen this should be sufficient
  • hot water worksheet (joe): https://trello.com/c/OFglVMQm/27-do-hot-water-work-sheet

• Design Review Exemption from Betsy Morris (DK) - jenny will remind

• Measure ceiling height (Joe) - 97" (possibly) / 8ft

• Take out a window to see how it's attached
  • joe: think they're just set in the concrete
  • robb: can probably discern by looking at it

• pester dk (all)
  • jenny: have at least 3 times since last meeting, no dice
  • sierk: need to talk to him, will pester this week

• ask tony about concrete/floor by drain (joe)
  • sierk: grant's plumber friend came over and checked out our drains -
    • joe: he had two questions for us - where 3/4" line breaks down to 1/2" line, and to trace vent for hot water heater to see if vent has more than 190 in it
      • remove concrete where main is. entire north wall between stove and pantry, and front wall underneath existing sink. (see diagram)

• ask mandela contact about leads re: kitchen expertise (robb)
  • robb: talked to nina berman, they know architects but don't themselves help with kitchen buildouts, just kitchen use education - just emailed asking for contacts - she's out of town til may 7th
• email list about meeting times (joe) - ?

• Power:
  • Yar: Panel A is 200amps total, Panel AB (which runs to kitchen as well as other things, eg 3 and 4 are each 60, so 120 total) Panel AC is 80 total.
    • Robb: Think we're getting only 100amps total to the building
      • Joe: Need to know what we need to have dedicated. Know what it is for residential, but not commercial.
        • Yar: In that case AC might be the way to go as there's barely anything on it right now
  • robb: power meter often reading 12 or 11, maybe we are alright
    • joe: pretty close with that box in the pantry - large fridge, 2 small fridges and lights
      • phil: were having issues when we had 2 freezers
