C <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Peter Hellegers, City Planner@ <br /> <br />Cummings Park Shelter Plans and Design <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />.' Requested Action <br /> <br />RSP Architects, the architect for Guidant, is requesting approval of the design for the Cummings <br />Park Shelter. The Council must approve the design of the park shelter before the Building <br />Official can issue a building permit for this project. It is anticipated that, pending approval, the <br />construction of the shelter would begin within the next month. <br /> <br />Backl!:round <br /> <br />As you may recall, the master plan approval and development agreement for the Guidant <br />Campus stipulated that Guidant would construct a park shelter to address the park dedication fee <br />(Guidant would also provide certain trailway easements). <br /> <br />Desil!:n Overview <br /> <br />The proposed site plan design is very similar to what was envisioned in the concept plans that <br />Hagen, Christenson, & McIlwain Architects prepared for the PTRC. One change to the design <br />includes an 'L' -shaped site plan, instead of the straight-line building plan, which allows the <br />building to be sited on top of the hill while allowing minimal grading. The building has been <br />sited so that the warming house would face the skating rink to the south, while it would still be <br />adjacent to the picnic shelter/patio so that the two could be used together for larger gatherings <br />during the warmer months. While sight lines would not be exactly the same as those in the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Currunings Park Shelter- CC Report 0712812003 - Page I of2 <br />
