BUSD architects have developed schematic massing designs for a new school building. By the November 30th TONA meeting they will also have ready, for your comment, school renovation plans. You are invited to review these preliminary designs and meet with the architects, the BUSD project manager, and the environmental impact report (EIR) consultants. <P> The school's local landmark status requires that at least an initial EIR study be conducted by BUSD. Consequently, the architects must develop alternative plans for renovation and replacement of the existing school building. Although there will be at least a 30 day comment period after the initial study document is released (probably in January), this meeting provides an opportunity to express your concerns early into the process. <P> See the preliminary massing plan on the other side of this page. <hr> <H3><CENTER>Field Work in Sanitary Sewer Easement</CENTER></H3> <CENTER><IMG SRC= Maps created by the surveys will be available to interested parties at the office of the Engineering Division, 2001 Addison Street. If you have any questions, you may contact Robert Parent or John Bergen at Montgomery-Watson Consulting Engineers at 933-2250.

TONA plans to invite the consultant to a future meeting to present this topic and answer any questions you may have.

Thousand Oaks School - Berkeley, California

Thousand Oaks School Preliminary Massing Plan></A></CENTER> <p> SITE PLAN 10-26-95 SCHEME 2 Saitowitz / Muller Caufield <p> This is a very preliminary massing concept showing how the new school will fit on the Thousand Oaks site. The primary school entrance, drop off areas, and community access to the multi-purpose room, will be on Colusa Street. Neighborhood after-hours access to the site from the Colusa side will be maintained, taking advantage of the changes in level of the existing terrain, by making the central element into a bridge over the path that goes down from Colusa Street to the playground. The rest of the classrooms will be in one story buildings which step down the hill. <p> The actual locations of administration, library, specialty classrooms, play areas, etc. may be modified as the plans develop. The architects have not yet determined how the building should look, but are studying the existing neighborhood to make sure that the new buildings will be a positive addition. <p> <hr> <CENTER><H3>TONA on the Web</H3></CENTER> <CENTER><IMG SRC= Our preferred e-mail address is Realtor@home-buy-sell.com, but you can also reach us at BerkeleyRE@AOL.COM or 72062,474 on Compuserve.
