New Station Design

 Approximately 21,500 square feet for career and volunteer Fire & Rescue personnel  One story structure per Fire & Rescue Design Standards Manual  6 bays  Schematic design put on hold in February 2014.

Design Constraints and Considerations

 Site shape and property boundaries  Site Topography  Abandoned cemetery  Existing station MUST remain

  • perational at all times

during construction  Existing entrances can be reused  New entrance location as allowed by VDOT  Emergency Vehicle Resonce and public traffic flow

Recommendations and next steps

 Relocate cemetery to another area of the site  Primary concern is the treatment of the cemetery.

  • If relocated onsite, will be maintained, easily accessible, buffered from

fire station activity.

  • Assemble an advisory group of citizens to assist in the new location

design.

  • Application to move remains to the VDHR.
  • Conduct archeological recovery of remains (Winter/Spring 2015).
  • Re-internment following the construction of the Fire Station
  • Prepare a report according to VDHR Burial permit.
