Tampa: Davis Islands Recreation Area

Transcription

1 1) PROCESS a) Provide As-Built Documentation i) Elements Design Team completed measured as-built drawings as well as extensive photo documentation of the building. ii) Elements Design Team met and held discussions with the City Parks & Recreation Department and Mark Neuberger on the history of the building. We also met with Mr. Rodney Kite-Powell at the Tampa History Museum and reviewed material and historic documents pertaining to the pool contained in their archives. iii) Elements Design Team conducted research through the Public Library and Internet concerning the history of the facility iv) Elements Design Team conducted a thorough code study concerning the requirements for public pool facilities in the State of Florida b) Review with Pool Consultant i) Elements Design Team held discussions with our Pool Consultant on best solution(s) to get the pool into working order. See Pool Consultant Report, dated 10/13/2009. c) Review with Community i) City Staff requested input about the Roy Jenkins Pool from the community at a public presentation d) Cost Estimates i) After design efforts were discussed and a final direction decided upon, a cost estimate was established by the teams Cost Consultant. e) Final Recommendations Southeast corner of Roy Jenkins Pool Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 1 of 34

2 2) PROS / CONS / OPPORTUNITIES / CONSTRAINTS a) Zoning: (see pages 2, 5, and 12 Appendix A) i) All the uses proposed for this recreation facility are allowed by code. ii) The biggest issue is that a facility of this size requires parking for 60 spaces. Currently there is no on site parking for the pool facility. (1) There was discussion about possibly locating some parking in the open grassy space immediately south of the pool, but it was decided that this was best place for a new splash pad. (2) Discussions were held concerning locating some parking along the east face of the building, but the depth of land available was minimal and parking spaces along this face of the building would require that cars would be backing directly into Columbia Drive. This was not seen as an acceptable solution. b) Existing use / buildings: i) The existing building was built in 1929 (please see history on the following 2 pages) ii) Currently the pool facility is closed and has not been open to the public since the fall of Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 2 of 34

5 c) Adjacencies i) On the north side of the property is a private residence. ii) On the west side of the property is an existing alley way. iii) On the south side is the existing park iv) On the east side there is a small landscape area and existing sidewalk along Columbia Drive. d) Available or limited ROW or space i) The existing building is 26 from face of building to right of way. Given a 20-0 setback, this precludes anything being built along this side of the building unless a variance is requested. e) Security Issues: i) An existing aluminum fence surrounds the property on the south side. Both the west and east side have small arched windows up high, most of which are covered with plywood. There are a number of doors with access into the first floor spaces, including a pair of doors at the north side into the pool equipment space. f) Ownership: i) The Roy Jenkins Pool Facility is owned by the City of Tampa. 3) CONCEPTUAL IDEAS / LAYOUTS a) Numerous design schemes were considered for the pool renovations that were discussed and then later discarded in favor of the presented scheme. b) ADA accessibility to the upper pool deck will be handled via a chair-lift on the south side of the building, accessible from the main entry sidewalk. ADA accessibility from upper deck to lower deck will be via a ramp at the north end of the pool. ADA accessibility to the pool itself will be via zero entry into the water for the north pool and an optional pool lift at the south pool. c) Three lap lanes are provided, each a full 25 meters (82 feet) long. d) A conceptual slide is shown. e) The round wade pool mentioned in the pool consultant s report has now become a square children s / all-ages pool f) An at-grade splash pad will be designed in the park area just south and adjacent to the pool. 4) DRAWINGS Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 5 of 34

12 5) DIRECTION FROM CITY / POOL CONSULTANT a) Consider the possibility of providing a minimum of 2 lap swim lanes. b) Consider the possibility of providing a water slide. c) Conduct research into previous City pool renovations to obtain information on problems associated with them, especially recent renovation to the Cuscaden Pool. d) Consider whether the water slide can begin at the upper pool deck? e) Consider whether the redesign of pool may be more cost prohibitive than demolishing and constructing a brand new pool. f) Take out center dividers at pool - the very shallow end (closest to covered seating area) may best be left divided from rest of pool. g) Young children should be somehow be cordoned off from the deep portion of pool. h) The swimming lanes should occur where the pool is a minimum of 3 feet deep. i) Consider adding a building addition to the east of the pool building. j) The City will address the structural issues, etc., during the design/construction phases (extensive structural analysis of the facility is beyond the scope of this phase). i) Elements Design Team has concluded that without having a comprehensive structural report it would be difficult to estimate the cost to fix the existing structural deficiencies. k) The 1st floor spaces should be finished for City Parks and Recreation use as offices, staff meetings, small program spaces, storage, etc. l) These 1 st floor spaces are of a size and shape to preclude their use as community meeting space; in any case, they'll need finishing, including a/c for some of them. m) See Pool Cost Estimate below and detailed Cost Estimate at end of Chapter 1.

14 (i) At the Roy Jenkins Pool, Elements Design Team is suggesting installing new pool shells inside of the existing shell, and replacing all drainage systems. Elements does not recommend trying to fix existing underground issues. 6) INTERVIEWS a) A number of Community residents thanked the City for the opportunity to give input. It soon became clear that the main issue concerning the public was that they wanted to see the pool back open, with longer operating hours, throughout the year. i) The following ideas for the uses were suggested by the community: (1) First floor space could be used for meeting rooms; recreation spaces; storage for the Parks Department, Exercise Room. b) The pool level could be used for children swim league, scuba lessons, adult lap, aerobic classes. c) The Public preferred Family Time / Splash Fun over Health & Fitness, with a distant third being Swim Clubs / Teams.

17 G. B. COLLINS ENGINEERING, P.A. POOL AND SPA CONSULTING ENGINEERS July 17, 2009 Attn: Gary Smith AIA LEED AP Director of Architecture Elements 600 South Magnolia Avenue Suite 150 Tampa, Florida Re: Davis Island Recreation Jenkins Pool Evaluation Dear Mr. Smith: This document is an evaluation of the pool for the Jenkins Pool located on Davis Island in Tampa, Florida. This evaluation is based on an inspection that was done by our office on June 7, I. General Pool Information The pool was built and originally permitted in 1920 by the State of Florida, Department of Health, specifically the Hillsborough County Health Department as required by Florida Statutes (FS) Chapter 318, Chapter 514 and Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 64E-9. The design of the pool is a large rectangular shape approximately 37 wide by 123 long. The pool has a recessed gutter around the perimeter. The depth of the pool varies from 3 in the shallow end to 10 in the deep end. The pool has a marcite waterproof finish. The pool was constructed of a masonry block. The pool has two sets of steps in the shallow end corner. The pool has four case iron ladders mid-way in the pool. Lap lane markers and targets were painted on the bottom and sides of the pool. Pool Data: Pool Perimeter: 321ft - 6 in Pool Area: 4,585 ft 2 Pool Volume: 222,500 gallons Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 17 of 34

18 Pool Flow Rate: Pool Bathing Load: 618 gpm 123 persons (flow rate divided by 5) II. Pool Equipment Collector Tank 7 long x 3-6 wide x 9 deep (approximately 1,600 gallons) (7 elements 18 square feet per element) Recirculation Pump Balbor JMM3313T, 10 HP Vacuum Pump Starite CH8M2PA100, 2 HP Chemical Feeder Stenner 85M5 (CL) III. Pool Inspection Below is a summary of the items that were identified as health and safety issues for the public. Pool Facilities: The structure is extremely old and would need to be properly re-designed to meet current building code requirements. Fire and handicap accessibility issues need to be addressed. The restroom facilities do not meet current code requirements. Water closet, urinal, and lavatories need to be increased. Baby changing stations floor drains, hose bibs, and coved tile need to be provided. Deck shower needs to be provided. Deck drainages need to be provided. Pool Equipment: The equipment room is not properly ventilated and will need to be cross ventilated or forced air. The equipment needs to be properly lit with 30 foot candles of light. CL and PH chemical feeders need to be provided and properly sized. DE separator needs to be provided for proper back wash. Pool plumbing needs to be replaced will schedule 40 PVC. The collector tank is not properly sized. Pool Inspection (cont.) Pool: The pool water is not being properly re-circulated. The width of the pool exceeds 30 and floor inlets need to be provided. The walls that separate each section of the pool are hazardous. These walls have holes on the bottom that may entrap a person. Also, these walls do not have return inlet for proper pool water circulation. Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 18 of 34

19 The ladders need to be located at the deepest portion of the pool. Also, they need to be across braced and spaced around the perimeter so that they do not exceed 75. Level line in not provided in the pool. Vacuum fitting exceed 40 apart. The steps do not meet code. The recessed gutter does not meet current code. Pool depth markers do not meet current code. There were no No Diving tiles around the perimeter. IV. Recommendations Pool Facility Due to the age of the facility and the volume of water that it will be holding, we recommend a structural engineer verify that the building is structurally sound. We also, recommend the building be brought up to current code which would involve updating fire safety system. Also, the facility would need to meet ADA requirements. A lift or rap would need to be installed. Proper lighting would need to be provided around the facility and on deck. The pool currently does not have lights in it. We recommend installing lights in the pool to reduce the deck lighting to 3 foot candles. A deck shower and hose bib will need to be installed on the deck. Recommendations (cont.) Pool Facility Restrooms will need to be updated. Baby changing stations, floor drains, hose bib and coved tiles need to be installed. Current code requires: Pool: Urinals Water Closets Lavatory Mens: Womens: We recommend that a new 1,500 sf (25 x60 ) pool be constructed in the shell of the existing pool. The depth of the new pool would be 3 to 5 deep. The new pool would be a gutter pool with new pvc plumbing and fittings. The remaining areas of the pool would be filled and a paver decking installed. Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 19 of 34

20 A 20 round wade pool could be constructed at the northwest area of the deck. The wade pool would be 6 to 18 deep and have water features in it. The water features could include an umbrella, tumble buckets, or a rain arch. It is not recommended that the wade pool be constructed outside in the lawn area due to the high water table and potential utility conflicts around the facility. Pool Equipment: We recommend installing a new Vak Pak unit along the deck area near the deep end for the pool. The wade pool equipment can be installed by the existing pool equipment. The deck floor would need to be retrofit for the Vak Pak unit for the pool for the collector tank and structurally supported. The existing pool equipment may be abandon-in-place. Please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Samuel A. Liberatore, P.E. President/Senior Engineer 7) PHOTOS: Elements Architects & Interior Designers Page 20 of 34
