OlyCAP is seeking to develop two separate sites on the 21.8 acre lot off Mill Road and Highway 20. The lower leveled section will be an open-air shelter with spaces for 40 RVs or wooden
tents. This will initially include temporary communal bathroom facilities, along with electric hookups and wifi for all residents. Stormwater will include a combination of bioswale
and a drainage pipe to a naturally occurring ravine. The open-air shelter will ultimately include a shared bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facility with communal service and meeting
spaces. The permanent structure is further out in development and plans have not been developed at this time. Separate septic systems have been planned for both sites and drainfields
have ben included in the attached site plans.
On the upper leveled section near the northwest corner of the lot, OlyCAP is designing a 10,000 square foot shelter to replace the American Legion facility and improve the scale and
quality of service provided.
The shelter site will use the existing gravel driveway and site to include 8 parking spaces for staff. The facility will be wood-frame, site-built, and slab-on-grade construction. To
provide natural light in central areas, the roof will be a dual-shed style with a clerestory in the split. It will include 13 single room occupancy units for permanent supportive residents
with a shared kitchen, bathroom, and central living area. The shelter will also feature dormitory style beds for emergency use divided by gender, which will feature a combined 22 beds,
along with private rooms and three family units. The development will be designed to serve 40 residents in total, and will have flexible space to accommodate weather emergencies. A
kitchen will be shared between all residents, and split lavatory and shower units will be available for both permanent and emergency residents. Laundry will be for staff use only. Office
and reception space will be available for staff along with a break room/rest area.
Visitor parking will be included in the gravel by the site entrance and trail to ensure easy accesiblity for services.
