<br />Currently, the existing shelter has a gable style roof, approximately 20 ft. x 24 ft. (480 sqft), sits <br />on a concrete pad, and can accommodate four picnic tables. During non-pandemic times, this <br />shelter is often rented on the weekends and even on some weekdays throughout the rental season. <br />This season, due to the pandemic shelter rentals have been very low due to restrictions of group <br />sizes the City can rent to, but staff is seeing that the shelter is still getting used a lot with small <br />groups. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the new shelter be large enough to accommodate six picnic tables, installed on <br />a new concrete pad that would incorporate the existing hand-pump well (incorporating the <br />existing well would help eliminate muddy conditions around the hand-pump well during times of <br />heavy use), has electricity and lighting, has a wood soffit (to minimize noise), and offers an <br />enhanced look. <br /> <br />Attached are the shelter styles that fit within those parameters. <br /> <br /> Size Square Feet Est.
