Notus leaders discuss community center concepts; current space totals 1,869 sq ft
Summary
Mayor David Porterfield and Councilman Blaide Connor shared preliminary concepts for a proposed community center. They noted the existing space is 1,869 square feet including storage and listed design considerations—occupancy, parking, ingress/egress, natural light and possible sprinkler requirements.
Councilmembers and the mayor discussed conceptual needs for a proposed Notus community center at the April 20 meeting. Blaide Connor and Mayor David Porterfield reviewed plans and emphasized that design should begin with desired occupancy; that number will determine bathrooms, square footage, required parking spaces, number of ingress/egress doors and whether a sprinkler system will be required.
Officials noted the current community-center footprint is approximately 1,869 square feet including storage. The council said any design work will need to coordinate with the library board and account for fire-code requirements such as a 20-foot access path around the building and adequate parking. No formal design contract or funding decision was recorded at the meeting.
