Great St. James Maintenance Building Architectural Programming GREAT ST. JAMES MAINTENANCE BUILDING ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING FEBRUARY 15, 2019 (updated 2/23/19) GREAT ST. JAMES, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS Prepared by: Boschulte Architecture, LLC EFTA00794207  Great St. James Maintenance Building Architectural Programming GREAT ST. JAMES MAINTENANCE BUILDING ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to identify the scope of work to be designed in terms of functional and operational requirements and to gain a consensus of how the building and its systems will work once the building is occupied. The intent is to provide information to make decisions regarding current and projected space needs for implementation in order to guide the building design and to inform design consultants, vendors, and potential builders/contractors of the general vision for the completed facility. GENERAL INFORMATION Project Name: GSJ Maintenance Building Project Address: Parcel No. B21-1 & B-2-2, Great St. James, Island No. 6A Red Hook Quarter, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands Owner: Great St. James/Little St. James, 6100 Red Hook Quarter B-3, St. Thomas, USVI 00802 Architect: Boschulte Architecture, LLC, 41-42 Kongens Gade, St. Thomas, VI 00802 PROJECT TYPE The project type is a maintenance/engineering building. The types of spaces to be included are identified in this document along with space criteria for those spaces. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The function of the building is to be the headquarters of the management, operations, and maintenance services needs for Little St. James (LSJ) and Great St. James (Gal). These functions are currently housed in one or more structures located on Little St. James and the owner desires to relocate them to a consolidated facility on Great St. James. The building will house the day-to-day activities necessary for operation and maintenance staff to perform their basic duties in a safe, functional facility. SITE REQUIREMENTS The project site has been previously identified by the owner to be Parcel No. B-2-1 and B-2-2, Great St. James, Island (D9-7345-T004). The site will be located on the north-west area of Great St. James near the knoll directly north of Christmas Cove bay. This provides location provides easy access from the existing barge landing at Christmas Cove and is located away from the residential functions of the 2 EFTA00794208  Great St. James Maintenance Building Architectural Programming island. The building should be sited to minimize lines of sight and to minimize acoustical impact from the functions performed between the facility and the residential areas of GSJ and LSJ. Visual impact(s) from the surrounding waters of GSJ is largely un-avoidable due to the anticipated size of the facility, however aesthetics in this regard is recognized as an important consideration well. Existing project improvements include dirt roadways, and large (relatively flat) open dirt area which is the anticipated location of the facility. The perimeter of the open dirt area does have some earth fill/disturbed soil which may affect structural foundation choices. The project site is zoned R-1, Residential. Brian Moseley & Associates, Inc. DWG No.: 4790-8 COVENANTS, EASEMENTS, ETC. Survey map delineates an easement "Ba" (D9-7345-T004) between Parcel No. B-2-1 and B-2-2. Design should consider impact to this easement as it provides access to adjacent parcels C-2-1, C-2-2, and C- 2-Remainder. Encroaching on this easement will hamper future access/development of those parcels. Design should take this into account or propose alternative access easements for these parcels. 3 EFTA00794209  Great St. James Maintenance Building Architectural Programming USE OF ADJACENT PROPERTIES Use of adjacent properties is residential (largely undeveloped). OWNERS OF ADJACENT PROPERTIES All adjacent properties on GSJ island are under the owned by the project owner. PUBLIC SERVICES The public utilities are not available at the project site due to the site location being GSJ which is an island off the south eastern coast line of St. Thomas, VI. Current and future vision for services is that GSJ is to be a self-sustaining island. Possible future connection to LSJ for electrical grid connection is being considered but will be unavailable when the project is constructed and during initial occupancy. • Gas: If propane fuel is necessitated by the building's equipment or appliances these will be stored in propane tanks to be refueled by propane vendor's trucks barged to the island. • Electric: No WAPA service is currently available on island. Building to tie into planned underground electric service from the existing GSJ diesel generator. Provisions to be made for future tie-in to anticipated undersea grid connection to LSJ electric grid. Design consideration to be given to roof-top solar panels installation for sustainable solar power production for the building. • Communications and data: Phone and Internet service provider (ISP) to be determined by owner. Space to be identified within the building for ISP hub/WIFI/Server etc. • Sewer: No public sewer is available on site. Building to utilize a packaged on-site sewage waste disposal system. • Water: Primary water source will be from a packaged reverse osmosis plant (R.O.) which is planned for GSJ. Intent is to connect to R.O. plant via tie-in underground water main (under development). Consideration to be given to below ground or above ground water cistern of site-cast concrete construction with roof top rainwater collection as secondary source of water supply. Pre-manufactured water tank(s) are another consideration for secondary water supply. Cistern or tanks may be necessitated due to fire suppression/sprinkler requirements for the building.
