He noted the new building will also exceed the accessibil- ity requirements of the Ontario Building Code. The couple dozen residents in attendance leamned the first step for the 50,000-square-foot, two-storey expansion will be to demolish the former 1-lton County jail wardens home that's located in the same parking lot as Town Hall and the Planning and Development department building at 155 King St. Then, the first phase of construction - largely the work on the expansion - will get under-way and will take about a year to complete. The second phase involves renovating the inside of the durrent Town Hall, which is slated to start early next year and wrap up that summer. The old and new buildings will be connected witb a glass hallway that Sapounzi said bas been designated for a 'Walk of Fame' - floor tules dedicateil to Miltons top citizens. A report on the initiative, which town counicil received for information Monday evening, explains the objective is to, recognize prominent residents who have contributed to the community and belped form Milton over the past 150 years. Sapounzi went on to point out that the design of the building, which was presented to the public last year, hasn't changed. Most recently, he said the expansion team bas been focusing on engineering the interior of the building. He explained the goal is to create funictional, flexible, long-term office space for staff. Parking will be provideil with a mix of underground and aboveground spots. He also highlighted the amount of landscaping being incorporated around the new building, such as many large, mature treles. Town Hall to be 'green' The Town is striving to make the Town Hall a 'green' building, which requires getting an LEFD (Leadership in Energy and Environental Design) certification. Sapounzi said some of the green initiatives include installing plumbing fixtures that don't use a lot of water and possibly collecting rainwater for irrigation purposes on the Town Hall property Miltonian Kevin Brackley commended the Town for implementing the LEED program. A couple of residents expressed concern with the plan to one day turn the addition into a four-storey building, if need be. ,,The two-storey building is just the thin edge of the wedge,' 'oaid Queen Street resident Scott Coleman. "AIl of a sudden we're going to have this monolithic structure." Ward 1 Councillor Brian Penman remninded the audience that the plan bas always been to start out with a two-storey addition and then eventually go to four storeys. AUTO BODY '~ (ROYAL ATL.ANTIC) INC. loosk ai additional stop siguis or trahfic lighis on Main Street to help deal with the additional vehîcles from ihe expansion. "Right now, if you're trying to, make a leit from James Street onto Main Street, forget at," she said, noting ît wdll only get worse with the extra traffic. The Town is planning to get local children involved in the expansion project as well. Since there'l be large plywood boards placed around the construction site for dust and noise control, a contest will be held for kids to paint scenes on the wood that depict Miltons past, which ties in with 2007 being the Town's i 5Oth anniversary.
