PROPOSED INTERPRETIVE CENTER WITH CLASSROOM /RESTROOMS /GIFT SHOP <br /> Halfway down the driveway, in the middle of the proposed public area, is a <br /> flat area and a garage (19'x11') which was apparently converted to a shop. It <br /> is proposed to tear down that building and replace it with one approximately <br /> 30'x25' to contain the interpretive center, classroom, gift shop, and <br /> restrooms. Restrooms would contain composting or chemical toilets; grey water <br /> would be pumped up to septic. Children coming to the nature center to build <br /> bird houses or plant a hummingbird gardens, families coming to picnic, will <br /> need to wash their hands. It is proposed to install a tankless propane water <br /> heater (an ecologically educational alternative to a conventional water <br /> heater). The classroom would be available for CRCC (or Nearby Nature, Native <br /> Plant Society, Audubon, etc.) classes or for use by community groups as a <br /> small meeting room. The intepretive center would have permanent and <br /> changeable displays, as well as room for exhibits by other environmental <br /> organizations, such as the Native Plant Society. <br /> Some display cages will be sited as part of this building with viewing access <br /> from both inside and outside. Construction /roofing will be designed to fit <br /> into its environment. <br /> Restrooms Classroom /Meeting Room <br /> Interpretive center /gift shop <br />
