* 66'x20' gravel lot for regular parking on North edge of property along Stevens Ave. (reference SouthEast corner of the lot is at the telephone pole in the NorthEast corner of the property).  This will grant 7 large car plots at 18'x9' each and 8 small car plots at 7.5'x10' each in a regular configuration. 
+
−
* 50'x10' space for parallel parking on Eastern edge of property along Schiffman St.  There is a fire hydrant East of the NorthEast telephone pole (55' North of the edge of the East driveway).  To provide fire clearances, the 50'x10' space will need to be directly North of the driveway.  This grants 2 parallel parking spaces at 22'x6.9' for a space. 
+
−
* 2 regular spaces on the driveway.  To allow for an area for members to work outside, cars ought to park at the end of the driveway.  Only issue is that garage door and lit driveway work area is blocked from street access.
+
−
* Additional parking possible by parking on the city-owned land North of the shop across Stevens Ave., parallel parking on Stevens Ave. under the highway bridge and parallel parking on the neighbors.

Safety

  • Fire Mitigations - ?
  • Disaster Preparedness - ?
  • Radon
    • As of 5/3/11, from discussion with the board, Facilities Director and concerned parties, the following course of action is recommended:
      1. Purchase a radon test kit and perform a self-test. A test is cheap; up to $15 for a test kit and 3 days to 12 months of testing (per here).
      2. Ask for a radon clause on the next lease term for our safety and coverage (none on current lease term). We had one for the 203 Brown St lease stating the building tested as radon safe. A similar one is recommended that would state landlord responsibility for testing and, if needed, mitigations.
      3. Take action as needed based on the radon test results.
    • The basis of the action is that radon, as a radioactive gas, poses a long-term health risk and that Madison County has a high potential of having dangerous levels of radon (more information from here). To detail, per Madison County Radon Test Results; in the zip code for 414 Stevens Ave 35801, 2225 homes have tested with an average radon level of 6.05 picoCuries of radiation per litre of air (pCi/l). Above 4 pCi/l is the recommended action level by EPA and AL Department of Health. 35.78% of the homes tested are over this limit. Note that building construction affects radon levels. Therefore, a radon test is needed to accurately confirm elevated levels of radon.
