II. Facility

A.

Sidewalk project

Michelle presented the options given by Kyle Zick Landscape Architect.  Committee gave thoughts and feedback.  The committee likes a combination of options 2,3,&4.  The main ideas that the committee agreed upon the below items below as being part of the final design.

 

- desired project project budget of $300k

- we would like to expand the width of the sidewalk (move the curb)

- taking no more than 5-10 feet from the circle/grass area out front

- maintain or increase the driveway to 20-25" - not decreasing

- there should be no bump out at the north corner (library) as we want there to be a straight access to the loading dock and the fire lane

- the south corner will necessitate some careful planning around traffic flow as that is also an exit path

- a combination of wall seating and movable seating

- committee would also like to ask about work on the drainage issue in the circle especially around the flagpole if not included in the cost could be an add on

 

 

M. Turnbull made a motion to to recommend architect move forward with direction as described above.
T. Niemaszyk seconded the motion.
The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
