Kamp Kipa June Update

The kitchen designer has finished a layout and the planning committee recommends going with the kitchen design as presented by Steve Forstie. With brand new commercial equipment the cost is approximately $100,000 and all equipment will be moveable to the new camp except the vent hood.

The kitchen designer will create a CAD drawing showing the layout and this includes the following items:

Electric design, plumbing design, appliance layout, mechanical design, specifications booklet and pre-construction layout.

This design will take one week and will be sent to Steve Moll to be included in the construction plans.

Propane will be used for cooking and it can also be used in a furnace to heat the Lodge. A structural engineer will need to do an inspection and provide a report prior to submitting plans to Yavapai County.

The demolition permits and cabin permits have been picked up. The permits for the bathrooms have been approved. Scott Raisanen will take care of the cabin remodel work and Lon Kumpula will take care of the demolition work.

APS is setting the power pole this week and will then pull primary and secondary electric lines. Once the electric panels have been approved, we can then purchase the meters. Power will be available for construction.

Parking will be provided along a two-way drive adjacent to the caretaker's cabin. There will be forty parking spots (32 spaces are required per county code). Vehicle access will be limited to the lower lodge area and include a 45' radius cul-de-sac adjacent to the lodge. The site plan will be submitted with the lodge and staff cabin plans. A scope of work will be sent to Kelly Wise engineering for cost estimates. The Camp Planning Committee approved the pedestrian oriented site plan. A garbage area will be in the cul-de-sac.

Our schedule is as follows:
1. Continue clean-up.
2. Demolition beginning of June.
3. Cabin remodel middle of June.
4. Bathhouses end of July.
5. Lodge, staff cabin and site plan submittal to be made at the end of July or beginning of August.
