<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Park <br />Commission <br /> <br />ProJect: TE Trail Project <br /> <br />Date: 3-30-09 <br /> <br />From: Geoff Martin <br /> <br />Client: Centervllle Parks CommIssion <br /> <br />Re: Summary of Meeting No.2 on March 18, 2009 <br /> <br />File No: <br /> <br />Following is a summary of the Park Commissions decisions regarding the design of the <br />Main Park and North Park associated with the TE Grant Trail Improvement Project. <br /> <br />Main Park <br />1. The potential bike trail illustrated on the west side of the park should be removed. <br /> <br />2. A drinking fountain should be included on the east side of the pergola. <br /> <br />3. The preferred site plan is Concept B with the circular plaza around the fountain. <br />The main east to west walk will be moved further north so users will be directed to <br />the north side of the Pergola. <br /> <br />4. Low maintenance landscape treatments were suggested for the west side. <br />Suggestions also included the use of more Rowers and eliminate grass areas. This <br />last suggestion confiicts with the initial objective of creating a space for large <br />community gatherings. <br /> <br />5. The preferred fountain is the dish and sculpture version illustrated in Concept B. <br />Suggested refinements include: <br />a) include the phrase "May Prevail on Earth" in four languages around the <br />perimeter, <br />b) facilitate the inclusion of a holiday tree...this may conmct with the inclusion <br />of a central sculpture, <br />c) incorporate an elevated edge to minimize the amount of storm water, grit <br />and debris from entering the fountain. <br />d) design the dish with a central foundation to incorporate a scuipture at a <br />later date. <br />6. The preferred kiosk is Concept A. The kiosk should incorporate a display board <br />with a plexiglass or lexan covering to facilitate a simple method for changing <br />graphics. The kiosk should be placed so that it is illuminated by a neighboring <br />streetlight. <br /> <br />7. The preferred pergola is Concept B. The slats should be spaced and designed to <br />cast shade. <br /> <br />8. The Parks Commission would like to see more examples of benches similar to <br />Concepts B & C. with curvilinear arm rests. <br /> <br />F:\BonestTOO Templdtes\ST?\Memoral1dum.dot [CRW 9-2008] <br /> <br />-#' Bonestroo <br /> <br />2335 Highway 36 W <br />St. Paul, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Tel 651-636-4600 <br />Fd)( 651-636-1311 <br /> <br />www.oonestroo.com <br />
