The District retained CSArch to complete a easibility studyevaluating the current station’s ability to meet the needs o its community. The studypresented options to expand and renovate the existing station or construct a newstation on an expanded site.

Upon completion o the study, the Board o Fire Commissioners recommendedconstruction o a new 15,000 square oot station, and the community voted to approve.

The District was interested in creating an aesthetically pleasing design complementaryto its surrounding neighborhood. O particular interest was a design ecient in its useo the available site, as well as in the layout o all required unctions.

EXPANSION AND INNOVATION

Recognizing the current and uture growth potential o the Village o ChestnutRidge, the members o the Board o Fire Commissioners realized their acilitywould need to grow in order to properly serve the community.

CSArch was retained to conduct a easibility study to evaluate options or a newlyconstructed, state-o-the-art acility to meet the current and long term needs o the

District. A new 20,000 SF building at the vacant site was recommended by theBoard and approved by the public in November 2011.

The new acility will include ve apparatus bays (three pull-through) with relatedrematic support including a decontamination and laundry room, SCBA room,tool/equipment room, hose room, and general storage.

GOOD WILL FIRE DISTRICTNEWBURGH, NEW YORK

PRESENT AND FUTURE NEEDS EVALUATED

The Good Will Fire District inhabits buildings originally constructed in the late1940s and renovated/retrotted in the early 1960s that have remained largelyunchanged.

The Board o Commissioners retained CSArch to complete a easibility studyevaluating the current re station’s ability to meet present and uture needs o theDepartment and provide multiple options to address long-range operational andservice goals. Working with the Board, the study ndings identied options rangingrom major renovations to the existing buildings, to construction o a new acilityon the existing site.

The existing acility was surveyed or existing conditions and code compliance, andthree options were ultimately proposed or consideration by the Board. Two o theoptions included project phasing which would allow the apparatus bays to remainoperational or the majority o the project. One option addressed the possibilityo a gut renovation o the existing buildings with an addition to accommodateexpanded services. All options provided greatly expanded administrative unctions,training and exercise rooms and an additional apparatus bay.

Ater evaluation o the options provided in the study including construction costs,scheduling dierences and the need or temporary acilities, the option or a newtwo-story building phased or continued operation o the existing apparatus bayswas selected or urther consideration. Given current economic considerations, theBoard o Commisioners has not set a date or public reerendum.

GREENWOOD LAKE FIRE DEPARTMENTGREENWOOD LAKE, NEW YORK

PRESENT AND FUTURE NEEDS EVALUATED

The Greenwood Lake Fire Department is currently housed in a building owned by theVillage o Greenwood Lake and shared by both as a multiple occupancy structure.

The Department retained CSArch to complete a easibility study evaluating the currentre station’s ability to meet present and uture needs and provide multiple options toaddress those needs. Working with the Department’s Building Committee, the studyndings identied options ranging rom major renovations and additions, as well asconstruction o a new re station on a purchased site.

The Village was supportive o the Department’s needs and participated in the easibilitystudy, as options to reorganize the existing building also aected their use and

operation. In this regard, the study looked at the reorganization o the Village oceareas and presented options to build an addition to accommodate their changingspace needs as well as the potential or the Village to relocate their oce unctionsand sell the current building to the Fire Department. Each o these conceptual optionswere evaluated based upon total project cost, scheduling dierences, impacts to thelocal taxpayer share and bonding limitations, as well as requirements or temporaryaccommodations to support the re operations during renovation or construction.

Upon the completion o the study, the Board o Fire Commissioners recommendedtwo o the options identied or urther review and consideration. These include anoption or renovation and additions to the existing building, and an option or newconstruction on a recently purchased site.

HIGHLAND FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT

FEASIBILITY AND COST STUDYRecognizing the need to maintain the highest standards in re protection, the memberso the Board o Directors realized their aging acility needed improvements to meetthe changing needs o volunteer training, rematic support, apparatus maintenanceand compliance with current codes and standards. The Board commissioned CSArchto conduct a easibility study to evaluate options or these improvements.

It became quickly apparent the existing re station would not meet all the identiedneeds. With a site severely restricted in size and ability to expand, recommendationsocused on providing the greatest level o improvement to rematic support unctions,as well as improvements to basic re operations. Undersized apparatus bays wouldneed to be expanded, as well as adequate o-foor spaces or rematic support –including decontamination, gear storage, tool and equipment storage, hose dryingand storage, dispatch, department oces, conerencing, training, general storage and

toileting. The study conrmed that improvements could not be handled on the rstfoor without serious impacts to existing meeting space. The study also determinedthe existing site as inadequate or expansion at the rst foor level.

CSArch developed ve comprehensive reconstruction options, o which the Boardselected two or urther renement and consideration. Budgeting or these options wasprepared, including required costs or temporary relocation during any reconstruction.
