Project Details

This project included demolishing a large portion of a former auto-body shop, converting the remaining structure into the wash bay for the rental vehicles, and adding on a new office/sales building on a 1.5-acre site. Parking was added for customers and employees, and a large parking area was added for rental car and box truck storage and display.

The existing building is located in a floodplain, therefore, only minimal improvements that would not change the grade were allowed in that area. The finished floor was raised to be above the base flood elevation. The Keller team performed a LOMA to remove the building from the floodplain.

Project involved merging five parcels into one parcel through a lot-merge plan.

Project Uniqueness/Challenges:

• The site is located in a Floodplain and floodway
• Previous pavement bled completely out to the street, the City of Altoona required pavement to be removed and ADA compliant curb to be added to re-define Aldrich and Milton Avenues.
• Project had an existing earthen berm for screening that had to remain and to be planted extensively as part of a previous re-zoning decision.
