PUBLIC COMMENTS
Constituent Vargas states he is now getting tickets for his commercial vehicle being parked outside his
home. He states he wants to open another business however, due to him now being ticketed, he is unsure
if he can have his vehicles in his neighborhood anymore.
Police Chief, David Rice, informed council and the Constituent the focus on commercial vehicles to be
ticketed are the larger vehicles because they cause a hazard for emergency vehicles if they need to pass.
Informed Constituent Vargas the small “everyday” vans are fine to park in residential areas.
Constituent Tyrone General asked if there will be a professional title for the Harland Street Pool Filling
Project.
Mayor Dodro states we are not building on top of the pool and that we are only filling it. Council Chair
Urbina asked if there is a document that can be shared with the public about the specific job that is being
done. Mayor Dodro informed Council Chair Urbina that she will request such documentation if it is
available.
Constituent Phylecia expressed concern regarding Harland Street. Informs the council there was a quote
that was cheaper for the same scope of work that is to be performed that was blocked previously by the
council. Also expressed frustration about how the community cannot get a clear picture of what is to be
done at Harland Street and it isn’t fair to the community.

ANDREW HANKO REPORT OF FINDINGS FOR MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL PLUMBING
PREPARED SEPTEMBER 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ownership wishes to increase the building area to 7,500 square feet within 2 stories. Primary uses will
be Meeting and Administrative functions.
Existing mechanical systems will need to be removed, as they are past useful life or unfunctional.
Systems also do not meet current codes. The proposed systems will be different to the original,
requiring rooftop space to provide conditioned fresh air. Air handling will be more efficient and
could serve up to 300 people. All existing ductwork will need to be removed and redone to ensure it
meets industry standards. New thermostats will be added and will control different zones.
Water plumbing into the building will need to have backflow prevent added and the line size should
be increased to 1-1/2”. Flow tests need to be provided to provide further direction. New electrical
water heater, plumbing fixtures, and grease trap will be needed for the teaching kitchen. It is our
understanding that sprinkler will not be needed for the use type.
Electrical upgrades will be needed to service equipment as it is beyond useful life and needs to
become a commercial standard 3 phase 4 wire. The generator will be provided as a life safety
generator, not 100% of all systems needed, but enough to operate the key items identified by the
owner at about 3,000 SF of the property. All lighting to be updated to LED, all emergency and egress
lighting to be updated. An updated fire alarm panel will also be provided in the new location.
GENERAL
The project consists of the renovation of an existing 3,000 SF 2 story building located in Prince Georges
County MD. The scope will include the renovation of the existing building and an addition to increase the
building area to 7,500 square feet. The building is anticipated to remain 2 stories. The building will be
primarily used as meeting and administrative space for the City of New Carrollton.
HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
The mechanical systems are anticipated to be designed in accordance with the following applicable local,
state and federal codes/standards:
International Building Code (IBC) 2021
International Mechanical Code (IMC) 2021
International Plumbing Code (IPC) 2021
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2021
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 13 current edition
ASHRAE Standard 62.1 current edition
HVAC DESIGN CRITERIA
The HVAC system is anticipated to be designed in accordance with the following criteria:
Outdoor Temperature: Summer ASHRAE 1% outdoor design conditions
Winter ASHRAE 1% outdoor design conditions
Indoor Temperature:
Summer 75°F +/- 2 F, 50% RH
Winter 70°F +/- 2 F, 50% RH
Ventilation: 2021 International Mechanical Code
Building Envelope: The existing portion of the building shall be modeled to reflect the existing
conditions.
The addition shall be assumed to meet the current energy code.
Internal Loading: Lighting shall be per the final lighting design power density
Plug loads are assumed at 0.5 W/ sqft for a conference space
Plug loads for office space are assumed at 500 BTUH per workstation,
one workstation per person
Space occupancy is assumed at the following:
150 sqft / person for office space
20 sqft / person conference space
10 sqft / person for the lobby spaces
EXISTING HVAC SYSTEMS AND DISTRIBUTION
Currently the building is served two direct expansion (DX) split systems, one for each floor. The first-floor
system is a nominal 4 ton system (RHEEM) and the second floor is served by a nominal 3 ton system
(TRANE). Both systems have gas furnaces with flues routed to the exterior.
The age of the existing mechanical equipment is estimated to be 23 to 24 years based on the equipment
tags on the condenser units. The ASHRAE estimated life of a directed expansion split system is 15 years.
Both systems use R-22 which is no longer produced or available. It is reported that the first-floor unit is
not functional.
The restrooms on the first floor have been provided with ceiling mounted exhaust fans.
The existing duct distribution is routed through rated ceiling and wooden floor joists.
The lower-level split system’s return air path utilizes the corridor as a return plenum in violation of
current code.
Given the age and condition of the existing equipment and the non-code compliant ventilation and
return air systems, BKM recommends new mechanical equipment be provided for the existing portion of
the building as well as any addition.
HVAC SYSTEMS AND DISTRIBUTION
Proposed mechanical systems to serve the building are a combination of variable refrigerant flow (VRF)
systems to provide conditioning and control to the individual spaces and rooftop mounted dedicated
outdoor air systems (DOAS) with energy recovery to ventilate the building.
The DOAS unit will be an air cooled direct expansion unit with an energy recovery wheel, heat pump and
gas back up heat.
The VRF systems will be heat recovery systems capable of simultaneous heating and cooling and the
indoor units shall be a mix of ducted, cassette, wall mounted and floor mounted style units. Final zoning
shall be determined as the design progresses.
Initial sizing of the DOAS is approximately 1950 CFM assuming a maximum occupancy of 300 people for
the building.
The DOAS could be reduced to approximately 1200 CFM assuming a maximum occupancy of 150 people
for the building.
Initial estimated total tonnage for the VRF system is between 20 and 25 tons.
Final sizing of the VRF and DOAS systems will be dependent on final program and construction.
Its is assumed that space on grade or flat roof space will be provided for the equipment to be located
with proper clearances provided for access and maintenance.
Exhaust ductwork shall be provided to all existing and new restrooms and shall be routed back to the
DOAS units.
All low-pressure ductwork upstream and downstream of the air handlers and downstream from
terminals shall be constructed to a 2” pressure class and will be internally lined.
Supply and exhaust ductwork shall be provided with volume dampers at all branches and taps. To limit
the amount of access panels required, adjustable at diffuser face remote cable operated dampers shall
be provided for balancing of air devices in hard ceiling locations.
Ductwork shall be routed through existing structure where possible, but given the limited space in the
existing first floor ceiling some bulkheading may be required.
Supply and return air devices are anticipated to be a mix of linear, round and square diffusers to be
coordinated with the architectural RCP and open ceilings. Flex ductwork shall be limited to 3’0” lengths
and no flex ductwork shall be visible in open ceiling locations.
All ductwork shall be sealed to SMACNA Class “A” and be leakage tested.
All return, supply, and exhaust duct shaft / slab penetrations shall be protected with combination fire
smoke dampers. All openings in rated ceiling shall be protected by radiation dampers.
All transfer air and return ductwork shall be sound lined.
SOUND TREATMENT / NOISE CONTROL
The mechanical systems will be designed to produce sound levels in the occupied areas in accordance
with noise criteria as outlined by ASHRAE guidelines. In addition, all mechanical equipment will be
provided with vibration isolation as required to minimize the transmission of noise and vibration to the
building structure.
All rooftop curb mounted equipment shall be provided with insulated sound mitigating curbs.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
New automatic temperature control system shall be provided. Each control function and associated
control point of all mechanical equipment shall be incorporated into the building temperature control
system.
Final zoning shall be determined as the design progresses, but each temperature control zone shall be
provided with independent temperature controls via dedicated VRF terminal unit.
PLUMBING
EXISTING PLUMBING SYSTEMS AND DISTRIBUTION
The building is currently served by a ¾” domestic water line without any visible means for backflow
prevention. The water meter for the building is assumed to be located outside of the building below the
sidewalk where cover labeled “water meter” was observed.
The ¾” domestic line also feeds at least 4 sprinkler heads located throughout the building, primarily in
storage and back of house spaces. The majority of the building is not sprinklered and it is BKM’s
understanding that the building will not required to be fully sprinklered.
The existing restrooms are assumed to remain. The restrooms have tank style water closets and flush
valve urinals. The women’s room has not been provided with a floor drain.
The existing vending space has a three compartment sink that does not appear to be connected to any
means of grease trap or grease interceptor.
The building has a 425 MBH, 2 PSI gas service. The gas service is connected to the domestic water heater,
both furnaces and the building generator.
Hot water is supplied to the building by a gas fired water heater with a rated capacity of 40 gallons and a
gas input of 40 MBH. No hot water recirculation systems was observed.
The existing sanitary pine size leaving the building could not be confirmed at this time, but is assumed to
be a minimum of 4” based on existing riser diagrams.
Sanitary piping routing and inverts shall be evaluated against the proposed fixture locations to ensure
adequate fall is provided. Modifications to the existing below grade sanitary lines may be required to
meet the needs of the farthest fixtures on the first floor.
PLUMBING SYSTEMS AND DISTRIBUTION
BKM assumes that the incoming water service will need to be increased to a minimum of a 1 ½” line to
accommodate new program. Final determination of the line size will need to be evaluated against the
final building fixture count and demand and confirmation that full sprinkler coverage will not need to be
provided.
A pressure and flow test for the building will be requested of the owner / civil engineer.
BKM assumes that all existing plumbing fixtures shall be replaced in kind.
If the need for the three-compartment sink remains in the new scope of work grease mitigation will
need to be provided.
A new electric tank type water heater shall be provided for the project and hot water shall be provided
for all sinks and lavatories. Hot water circulation piping and pumps shall be provided where required due
to the length of piping runs. The water heater will store at 140°F for sanitizing purposes and to prevent
legionella from forming.
All new domestic hot, cold, and hot water recirculation piping shall be type L copper. All new and existing
hot, cold and recirculating piping shall be insulated. Shut off valves shall be provided at all domestic
water connections to the mains.
All hand sinks, lavatories and pantry sinks shall be provided with thermostatic mixing valves.
Final specification and approval of all plumbing fixtures, fixture finishes, and rough in locations shall be
by architect.
FIRE PROTECTION
The building is currently partially sprinklered and BKM understands that the building will not be required
to be sprinklered moving forward.
The design team will request a meeting with the fire marshal to confirm the approach and determine if
the limited sprinklers provided are still required.
Final determination on the extent pf sprinkler scope will impact the incoming water service size,
pressure and flow.
Any modification to the partial systems will be designed in accordance with NFPA and the local authority
having jurisdiction.
ELECTRICAL
The electrical systems will be designed in accordance with the following applicable local, state and
federal codes/standards:
International Building Code (IBC) 2021
National Electric Code (NEC) 2023
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2018
EXISTING POWER DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT
The building is currently fed from an overhead power company service at 240/120V, 1 Phase, 3 Wire and
is connected to a 200A MCB Panel via an automatic transfer switch. This panel provides power to the
entire building. A 50KW, 240/120V, 1 Phase, 3 Wire diesel generator provides backup power to the entire
building via the automatic transfer switch. The main panel is manufactured by Bryant and is beyond its
useful life. All of this single-phase equipment shall be removed and replaced with 208/120V, 3 Phase, 4
Wire distribution equipment which is more efficient and better suited for a commercial building.
PROPOSED POWER DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT
New normal power distribution equipment shall be provided as follows:
Preliminary electrical load calculations were made in order to determine the approximate capacity of the
electrical service. The building load requirement is based on VA/sq. ft. considerations for this type of
building. The following data summarizes these calculations:
Approximate gross area of the building - 7,500 sq. ft.
Lighting - (sq. ft.) x ( 1.0 VA/sq. ft. office ) x (100% demand) = 7.5 kVA
HVAC - (sq. ft.) x (7.0 VA/sq. ft. office) x (70% demand) = 36.75 kVA
Elevator - 10 hp motor (machineroomless) = 11.2 kVA
Receptacle - (sq. ft.) x (4.0 VA/sq. ft.) x (60% demand) = 18 kVA
Water Heater - 10kW x (100% demand) = 10 kVA
Miscellaneous - (sq. ft.) x (1.0 VA/sq. ft.) x (60% demand) = 4.5 kVA
Kitchen - (211 sq. ft.) x (90.0 VA/sq. ft.) x (80% demand) = 15.2 kVA
Total Load:
104 kVA, 289 A @ 208/120 V, 3 Phase, 4 Wire
Service Capacity:
Allowing for an 80% rated service entrance main overcurrent protective device and 20% spare capacity,
the service will be rated for 500 A at 208/120V, 3 Phase, 4 Wire
New emergency power distribution equipment shall be provided as follows:
Preliminary electrical load calculations were made in order to determine the approximate capacity of the
emergency generator. The building load requirement is based on VA/sq. ft. considerations for this type of
building. The following data summarizes these calculations:
The generator will provide backup power for 3000 sq. ft. of the building.
Lighting - (sq. ft.) x ( 1.0 VA/sq. ft. office ) x (100% demand) = 3 kVA
HVAC - (sq. ft.) x (7.0 VA/sq. ft. office) x (70% demand) = 14.7 kVA
Elevator - 10 hp motor (machineroomless) = 11.2 kVA
Receptacles - (sq. ft.) x (4.0 VA/sq. ft.) x (60% demand) = 7.2 kVA
Water Heater - 10kW x (100% demand) = 10 kVA
Miscellaneous - (sq. ft.) x (1.0 VA/sq. ft.) x (60% demand) = 1.8 kVA

VETO OVERRIDE OF RESOLUTION 25-07
Veto was submitted in a timely fashion.
Resolution was made due to council thinking fines were assessed after August 7, 2024 when the council
passed an ordinance allowing car covers on private property.
Mayor Dodro explained the initial paperwork residents receive is a warning and gives residents ten (10)
days to fix the issue, pay the fine, or request a hearing in district court.
Mayor Dodro states there is no basis for the resolution since there were no fees collected and based upon
the precedence that could be set for other residents of the city.
Council Chair Urbina states twenty-three (23) citations were issued after ordinance 25-02 was passed by
the council.
Councilmembers Lashley and Lai are a bit indifferent regarding the citations issued.
Councilmembers Lai and Hussey are concerned because residents with limited English, may experience a
level of discomfort or anxiety when coming across a citation.
Councilmember Rosenberg is not concerned about years from now however, still does not want residents
to receive a citation about a car cover. Asked if citations are still being issued since code issued citations
after Ordinance 25-02 was passed.
City Clerk, Ashli Pressey, informed council the original law repealing car covers did not go into effect
until twenty (20) days after it is passed. Informed council that until September 11, 2024, code was still
responsible for enforcing the code on the books.
Council Chair Urbina stated that code did not have to enforce this code and doing so was in bad faith
since council repealed the law on August 7, 2024.
Council Chair Urbina also reinforced the confusion that could come from the warning for limited English
speakers when they see a warning that states there is a fine associated with the warning.
Councilmember Lashley doesn’t think there is any other reason to take action and the veto should stand.
Council Chair Urbina and councilmembers Lai, Rosenberg, and Hussey voted to override Mayor Dodro’s
veto.
The vote carries 4-1
ADJOURN: A motion was made by Councilmember Lai and seconded by Councilmember
Hussey to adjourn the special legislative meeting, and with a vote of 5-0, the meeting was adjourned
at 8:20 p.m.
Council Retreat September 21, 2024
