                                                  MASTER PLAN

             INTRODUCTION

             Great Island Common was or1g1nally developed as a military base,                     Its
             roadways, grounds, and buildings were used by the military through the second
             world war.    During the 1950's, the Common was turned over to       the Town of New
             Castle and has since been used as a park.        Much of the park is in disrepair
             and needs extensive revitilization.

             Our plan calls for restoring and expanding the present buildings and
             recreational facilities, as well as providing more parkin            g,   The plan is
             designed to emphasize the sites natural beauty.        Paths follow the landscape's
             curves, parking is directed away from waterviews, and recreational areas are
             screened for greater privacy.      Wooden guardrails and signs preserve the site's
             rustic quality, while plantings such as Beach rose and Russian olive enhance
             its character as an oceanside park.

             GENERAL SITE RECOMMENDATIONS

             Park Entrance:     The chaln-link fence should be removed and replaced with a
             wooden guardrail.    This is an aesthetic change that would greatly improve the
             image of Great Island Common.         A new wooden entrance sign should also be
             installed along with two wooden post-and-boam vehicular control gates, one at
             each entrance. Finally, the gate house roof should be repaired.

             Nature Trail: While it may need better maintenance, the nature trail appears
             to be in good condition.      However, a sign should be installed at its entrance
             to make park users aware of its existence.        Pine trees should also be planted
             to screen the trail from an abutting property.

             Playground:    The existing play equipment is in disrepair, and randomly placed
             in the North West corner of the Common. We recommend that a new playground be
             built in the   same location. This new playground would have an asphalt walk
             defining the   play areas.   A new wooden climbing structure would be installed,
             and the existing playground equipment repaired and reset. The existing chain-
             link fence should be removed and replaced with wooden guardrails.

             Reetroom Facility:       Due to the increased use of the park, the restroom
             facility should be expanded to accommodate two additional womens stalls and
             two additional mens urinals.       A ramp would provide handicap access from the
             parking area.    New plantings should be introduced around the building.            (see
             Mechanical Electrical Section.)

             Rock Jetty: The rock jetty is in good condition; however, there is persistent
             erosion to the north of it. Rip-Rap and fill would stabilize the area.

             Water View:    This stretch of roadway paralleling the ocean is one of the parks
             greatest assets.      Benches and plantings at the water's edge would take
             advantage of the view.     To prevent cars from parking along the shoulder of the
             roadway, a wooden guardrail should be introduced with openings for pedestrian
             access.   A small parking area across the street would satisfy requirements for
             parking.
<pb n="4" />

            New-Shelters:   The two new shelters are located in areas that are close to
            existing parking lots, and have panoramic views of the Piscataqua River as it
            joins the Atlantic Ocean.     It is recommended that these new shelters be
            constructed exactly as the existing shelter. This insures a consistent
            shelter appearance.

            New Parking Lots:    The new gravel parking lots will alleviate some of the
            overcrowded parking conditions. These have been located so as to allow pedes-
            trian movement to the most heavily used areas of the park.    Plantings should
            be introduced to provide buffers between the parking and picnic areas.

            New Ice Skating Rink &amp; Tennis Courts: As a result of the high watertable, the
          ,,-existing tennis courts have deteriorated and are unusable.      The existing
         i  tennis courts and concrete wall should be removed and replaced with an Ice
            skating pond. This pond is curvalinear in shape to accentuate the existing
            landforms and character of the area.

            The two new tennis courts are to be located in an open field to the south of
            the pond entrance.   Plantings in this area should buffer the tennis courts
            from Wentworth Road.

                                  RECREATION HALL AND RESTROOM FACILITY
                                               ARCHTTECTURAL

             EXISTING CONDITIONS

             INTRODUCTION

             The New Castle Recreation Hall, at the Great Island Commons was built
             originally as a mess hall for Camp Langdon.           It is currently used for
             organized indoor sports, the annual town meeting, and as a rental hall for
             private parties.   Rental use has been curtailed lately because of inadequate
             restroom facilities, deficient electrical system, and its general state of
             disrepair.  Films and theatrical productions have also been held here in the
             past. Practically uninsulated, the facility is little used in cold weather.

             STRUCTURE

             The hall I,, in good condition structurally as reported in the detailed
             structural analysis performed by Collopy Engineering Consultants dated
             September 11, 1984, and included herein. There are no signs of rot or decay
             In the foundation/floor structure or roof structure based on limited access
             visual inspection.   The report recommends that work on the building foundation
             be concerned with insulation techniques only, as the structure is sound.

             EXTERIOR

             The building exterior is weathertIght, but approaching the end of its
             functional life,    The double hung windows are fitted with unsightly storm
             windows and the doors appear in poor condition. The rather ugly asphalt or
             asbestos siding with 1111 to the weather and the deteriorated asphalt rolled
             roofing skirt are primary contributers to the building's overall character
             which is a plain, run down, utilitarian shelter.

             INTERIOR

             Interior finishes at the ceiling, walls, and floors, are all in physical or
             visual disrepair.    Except for 3 - 5" of blown in insulation in the ceiling,
             the building is uninsulated.        The windows appear Inoperable because of
             interior protective screening from gym activity.       The lighting, electrical,
             and heating systems are inadequate.

             PROPOSED PROGRAM

             The Town of New Castle desires to upgrade the Recreation Hall, enhancing this
             unique town resource, and providing an income source to defray maintenance
             expenses.  The Facility should accommodate the following potential uses:

                                       Organized Interior Sports
                                       Town Meeting
                                       Concerts
                                       Films
                                       Rental Hall
                                       Food Preparation
                                       Dances

             REHABILITATION RECOMMENDATIONS

             WEATHERIZING/WINTERIZING

             Ceiling - Add 6" vapor barrier enclosed fiberglass batt insulation.
             Walls - Add 3 1/2" vapor barrier enclosed fiberglass batt insulation.
             Floor - Add 3 1/2" vapor barrier enclosed fiberglass batt insulation.

             Caulk, seal, weatherstrip, and refinish doors and windows to minimize air
             infiltration. Provide new panic/escape hardware at doors.

             Replace existing asphalt shingles with new architectural grade fiberglass
             shingles.

             Provide a continuous vent along the eaves to increase attic ventilation.

             Add a second set of double doors and one single door with new wood doors in
             metal frames.

             STRUCTURE

             Refer to collopy engineering consultants analysis for roof truss reinforcement
             recommendations.

             INTERIOR FINISHES

             Add a new painted gypsum wallboard ceiling providing a smooth surface between
             bottom chords of trusses with recessed lighting and heating system diffusers.

             Replace interior wall paneling and trim to allow wall insulation and improve
             aesthetics.

             Refinish and restripe wood floors.

             Provide new wood trim and paint exposed roof truss members.

             Use color to revive and unify the interior.
             Consider alternatives to interior window screens for aesthetics and window
             operation.  Suggest either more attractive wire screens or lexan plastic inner
             panel to preserve view.

             Acoustical treatment, particularly of the ceiling area, will be necessary if
             drama and music productions are important program elements.

             ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

             Provide adequate toilet facilities accessible to the handicapped, by
             reclaiming the existing toilet, kitchen, and mechanical spaces at the east end
             of the building.    The existing kitcben/toilet area at the Northeast corner
             will accommodate a women's toilet room with three water closets.       The existing

                                                      7
<pb n="10" />

             mechanical space at the South East corner will accommodate a men       8 toilet room
             with one watercloset and one urinal, as well a 9 the new mechanical room.
             This is the minimum amount of toilet facilities which can be accommodated
             within these spaces without taking space from the gym or adding on to the
             building.  While short of the required six sanitary fixtures per sex required
             by the BOCA Code, it is a significant improvement over the existing situation,
             and allowable under the governing National Building Code, subject to New
             Castle building official's interpretation of "sufficient number of suitable
             and convenient water closets".

             Provide entry ramp to make main entrance accessible to the handicapped.

             Provide a more pleasing main entry stoop and portico.         New entry stairs and
             shelter at other exits.

             Repair exterior siding with clapboards or cedar shakes including new window
             and door trim.     The change in scale of the new siding will improve the
             building's character considerably.

             Use color to accent the exterior.

             Replace foundation enclosure with treated wood and a lattice work treatment.

             Repair and repaint roof ventilators.

             Consider replacing the windows with new thermally efficient windows which do
             not require storm windows.

             Consider accentuating the current exposed rafter/eave detail with the addition
             of decorative, curved brackets along with the new siding and a lattice
             treatment of the foundation skirt to create a summerhouse, park aesthetic.

             Consider a kitcben/storage addition located along the south or north side of
             the building to accommodate food preparation and storage of tables and chairs.
             The current kitchen is Inadequate and the space will be used to improve
             restrooms.    Tables and chairs are currently stored inconveniently on the
             stage.

             If serious stage productions are to be accommodated, consider a stage addition
             at the west end containing dressing rooms, toilet facilities, and storage
             area, allowing enlargement of the stage into the previous dressing room areas.
             An extensive lighting and PA system should also be considered.

                                 RECREATION HALL AND RESTROOM FACILITY
                                       MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL
             Plumbing

             STATEMENT OF CONDITION

             The main building has one working water closet, a lavoratory,      and a  ir  itchen
             sink. An upstairs toilet room is out of use and the room has been boarded up.
             There is evidence of an overflow, or a water line breakage at some time, which
             has damaged the kitchen ceiling below.

             Plumbing fixtures in dressing rooms behind the stage have been removed, though
             waste and vent piping still remains.

             A 1 1/2" water supply main feeds the building and is routinely shut off at an
             underground curb cock for the winter season to prevent freezeups.

             The building is used infrequently during winter, the heating system is shut
             down most of the time and all plumbing is either drained, or filled with an
             anti-freeze solution to protect against breakage.

             The existing plumbing equipment is old and inadequate for other than custodial
             occupancy.

             The existing bath house plumbing fixtures are In fair condition.       Due to the
             increase In number of persons using this facility, the present number of water
             closets and lavatories are inadequate.

             PLUMBING RECOMMENDATIONS

             It is recommended that In the main building toilet facilities be provided for
             both male and female use, including facilities for the physically handicapped,
             based on the maximum occupancy capacity of the building.

             An occupancy of 236 persons would require for females:        6 water closets, 3
             lavatories and a floor drain; for males: 3 water closets, 3 urinals, 3
             lavatories, and a floor drain.   See recommendations on Page 8.

             A drinking fountain designed to accommodate the physically handicapped should
             be provided.

             It is recommended that an additional drinking fountain with an adjacent
             cuspidor unit be provided for sports use.

             It is recommended that small electric water heaters with extra heavy
             insulation be provided for public toilets.

             It is recommended that if any showers are to be included, that the multiple
             shower bead "column" type arrangement be considered for maximum utilization of
             space.

             It is recommended that all plumbing fixtures be fitted with water saving flow
             restrIctors, and self-closing faucet handles.
<pb n="14" />

            It is recommended that for the comfort station, 2 additional water closets for
            females and 2 urinals be provided for males. Two floor drains will also be
            required.

            We also recommend that 2 showers be provided and a drinking fountain suitable
            for use by the physically handicapped.

            HEATING &amp; VENTILATION

            STATEMENT OF CONDITION

            The main building has an old oil-fired hot air furnace and blower which
            circulates through a ductwork system to ceiling registers.

            A space thermostat and timer controls the heating unit to allow for conser-
            vation of fuel.

            This heating system is partly uninsulated, and due to its age and poor con-
            dition, is bound to be inefficient.

            The forced air blower has an outdoor air intake concentration, fitted with a
            manual damper set in a position which may be allowing an inordinate amount of
            outside air with respect to the varying occupancy.

            The hot-air furnace and blower unit are in disrepair and are of such age an
            inefficient design that they should be replaced with efficient and modern
            units.

            The existing chimney appears to be in satisfactory condition as does the
            above-ground oil storage tank.

            HEATING AND VENTILATION RECOMMENDATIONS

            It is recom .. ended that the existing hot air furnace and blower unit be removed
            and scrapped.

            It is recommended that all existing ductwork be provided with additional glass
            fiber insulation and fire retardant jacket, sealed tight with staples and duct
            tape.

            A new oil-fired furnace unit should be installed, and the outside air intake
            duct be fitted with a low-leakage design motorized damper section, to be
            controlled so as to be regulated from an adjustable setting knob mounted near
            the space thermostat.

            The space thermostat should be replaced with a modern unit incorporating a
            timer and clock which can be programmed for automatic night setback.          Fire
            dampers shall be provided at all penetrations of rated walls.

            All toilet room spaces without windows should be provided with mechanical
            ventilation and controlled through spring-return timer switches to provide a
            maximum operational cycle of 5 minutes.

                                                   12
<pb n="15" />

            An exhaust system should be provided for the main ball space, with 2-speed
            drive motor.

            ELECTRICAL

            STATEMENT OF CONDITION

            The main building is fed with a 120/220 volt, single phase, 60 hertz, 100
            ampere service, through a meter on the front of the building.

            The existing panel boards are very old, and the wiring is a mixture of non-
            metallic sheathed cable and metal sheathed cable.

            The main ball lighting fixtures are for incandescent lamps; which are too low
            in efficiency to be in use at this time.

            The stage lighting fixtures are bare lamp incandescents.

            The condition of the building wiring panelboards, lighting fixtures, and
            wiring services in such that all should be considered too frail to endure any
            renovation.

            ELECTRICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

            It is recommended that the building wiring be removed where possible, or
            disconnected and abandoned completely.

            It is recommended that for the main ball, new metal balide lighting fixtures
            fitted with auxiliary quartz lamps on dimmer controls be provided to provide
            up to 30 foot candles lighting intensity at 2.5 feet above floor level.

            It is recommended that other than the stage, all other building spaces be
            provided with vandal resistant fluorescent fixtures.

            Stage lighting should be selected to satisfy the minimum requirements for
            dimming, and row selection to meet the Town's needs.

            All electrical work shall comply with the National Electric Code, and the Town
            Wiring Inspector's requirements.

            It is recommended that all new wiring be run in metal wireways, or be of the
            metal-sheatbed cable type.

            It is recommended that a new main service of 200 ampere size be provided,

            It is recommended that the building be provided with an automatic fire alarm
            system consisting of smoke detectors of the photo-electric type heat detectors
            of the combination fixed temperature and rate-of-rise type, ductwork smoke
            detectors, manual pull stations at egress points, and alarm born and light
            units.

            It is recommended that the building fire alarm system be a Class A type, with
            fully supervised circuits, run in metal tubing throughout.

                                                  13
<pb n="16" />

           It 16 recommended that the building fire alarm system either be connected to
           the municipal fire alarm circuits throngb a compatible transmitter unit and
           Master Box, or an automatic telephone dialer unit be provided to alert
           designated Town personnel.
