. The existing exterior lighting will be removed and replaced with appropriate period lighting, per historic photographs. . The existing station windows will be cleaned, repaired and painted. New windows will be designed to match historic existing windows. . The interior parapet wall side will be cleaned, sealed and painted. .

These openings will carefully salvage the brick to be used to finish out the third apparatus bay on the west side. . A commemorative sign or new sign representing the original signage "Fire Station No. I" may be considered to be placed above the bay doors on the west elevation to match signage from historic photographs Miscellaneous site issues An existing back up generator is located on the northeast portion of the site which will no longer be necessary. The structure is a pre-fabricated 'wrinkle-tin' structure designed for function providing a secure enclosure for the generator at the time the 1960's addition was constructed. This building and generator will be removed during the demolition, clearing, and site preparation. In 1968 the City installed underground fuel tanks that were designed to fuel the fire truck and ancillary vehicles. These were removed in September of 1996 prior to consolidation of the Livermore and Pleasanton Fire Departments (LPFD). At that time, samples were taken of the backfill material and the analysis indicated that some contaminants were found at the site that may need to be monitored. The Hazardous Materials Inspector (LPFD) contacted the Alameda County Environmental Health Department (ALCO). ALCO indicated that a ground water monitoring well and several subsurface borings in the area where the tanks were formally located may be required. The Fire Department has forwarded the existing "Tank Closure Plan" to ALCO. Landscape Architecture The Firehouse Arts Center has been specifically designed to create a strong visual linkage from the Main Street Downtown-Division Street Corridor to the Lions Wayside Park area, creating a unique focal point in the heart of Downtown, and announcing the importance of the arts in our community. The Firehouse Arts Center glazed entry lobby space provides an entry and a window into Lions Wayside Park, reinforcing the sense that the project is one of the phases of implementation of the Downtown Parks and Trails Master Plan and the Downtown Specific Plan.
