<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />TO: Park <br />Commission <br /> <br />From: Geoff Martin <br /> <br />Project: TE Trail Project <br /> <br />Date: 3-30-09 <br /> <br />Client: CentervWe Parks Commission <br /> <br />Re: Summary of Meeting NO.3 on April 1, 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 pergola, associated paving and footings should be bid as an alternate. <br /> <br />2. The fountain edge treatment should deter skateboarders. Suggestions included <br />rough texture paving for 3 feet around fountain curb, and/or an undulating concrete <br />cap on the edge treatment. <br /> <br />3. The granite base for the future sculpture should be included in the first phase and <br />designed to anticipate the addition of a future sculpture. The granite base should <br />include the inscription "May Peace Prevail ON Earth" in the four languages of the <br />predominate cultures associated with Centervilles history, ie, Lakota, French, Russian <br />and English. The parks commission will supply the translations to Bonestroo for <br />design and cost estimating purposes. <br /> <br />4. A simplified version with a decorative top similar to Concept B should be explored <br />and priced. <br /> <br />5. All three bench options will be sent out for priCing. Advantages and disadvantages <br />of recycled plastic and other materials will be explored. <br /> <br />6. Trash receptacles should be from the same family as the benches and include a <br />hood to keep rain out. If possible, separate compartments for recycling metal, glass, <br />and waste should be included. Wood or recycled plastic slats are preferred to match <br />the benches. <br /> <br />7. Site lines to the fountain should be reinforced. Suggestions included rearranging <br />trees to provide a backdrop, minimizing the number of trees, and/or including large <br />trees to provide views under the canopies. <br /> <br />8. The desire to accommodate a holiday tree is not necessary within the fountain. <br /> <br />Lake Side Park (North Park) <br />1. Grades and wall heights will be defined for the next meeting. <br /> <br />f:\60nestroo Temp/ares\STP\Memorondum.dot [CRW 9-20081 <br /> <br />..
