Could you look into that for us? <br />P/K has not yet received a signed COR on this issue. Therefore they are <br />proceeding with work on the fifth floor as though the Treasurer remains on <br />the Fourth floor. In today's Construction meeting we pressed for updated <br />costing on this COR. <br />Also, we talked about the height of the half wall in the Tax department. <br />We have a concern that the employees will not be able to see when they have <br />customers at the counter because the wall will block the view. <br />We treated this wall as a guard around the raised platform. As such it is <br />not required, although it does have value as a modesty panel for the benefit <br />of employees working on the raised platForm. In reviewing this with Lisa in <br />our office, we understood that at least one of the windows would always be <br />attended. <br />If you feel we need to reduce the height of this wall, please let me know. <br />We also got to talking when we returned to our office, and we are <br />concerned that the windows that open up for the tax employees to assist the <br />public are terribly short. If a tax payer was over six foot tall, will they <br />have to stoop to see the employee that is waiting on them? Could you look <br />into this? Would you like me to come back over and look at it with you? <br />We have provided the largest operating transaction window available. Tax <br />Office employees specifically requested obscure glass at the transaction <br />windows, to be able to eliminate eye contact with the waiting area when a <br />station is unmanned. I personally don't like the restricted view between <br />staff and taxpayers either, but the design responds to Tax O~ce staff <br />requests. <br />Do you feel we need to re-evaluate the design of this space? <br />Leonard Lodder, A.I.A. <br />Arbuckle Costic Architects, Inc. <br />363 State Street, <br />Salem, OR 97301-3533 <br />email: Ilodder@arbucklecostic.com <br />i~ ~ .~~ <br />~~ '~~~~ ~ ~ <br />,; <br />S ~ ~~~,~~ ~~ ~ - ~~ <br />~ <br />
