INTRODUCTION <br /> The existing facility for the Minnetonka Center for the Arts at 2240 <br /> North Shore Drive will be razed and a new building will be constructed <br /> to the north. The existing structure covers a footprint of about 17, 000 <br /> square feet and has a full basement; the demolition would require <br /> f�lling in the basement excavation. <br /> The new building will be a one and two-story structure with a footprint <br /> of about 25, 000 square feet, of steel frame and steel stud wall/brick <br /> veneer construction. Although the structural loads are not yet <br /> available, we estimate column loads in the range of 75 to 100 kips, and <br /> wall loads of 2 to 4 kips per lineal foot . <br /> The first floor slab of the new building will be cast on-grade; there <br /> will be no basement. The finished floor elevation will be 964 . 0 feet <br /> National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) . This will require the <br /> placement of as much as 3 to 4 feet of fill in the northern portion of <br /> the new building, as well as backfilling of the old basement excavation. <br /> We estimate that live floor loads in a building of this type wQuld <br /> probably not exceed 200 pounds per square foot . <br /> Extensive paved exterior courtyards, and paved parking and drive areas <br /> will be constructed to the south and west of the new building, after <br /> demolition of the existing building has been completed. The traffic <br /> pattern on the pavements would probably consist of numerous daily passes <br /> oMe coNsu�raNrs,iNc. <br />
